Yeah. I laughed too. When. I was feeling for more of Damien's back story and after what I've laid out so far, I realized I modeled him after Desmond from his run away of the Farm to trying to live life carefully but trying to be his own person only to accept what he's going to have to do and be what he was meant to be.
I have to admit I love Desmond as a character and that he was given the short end of the stick throughout his life and what he was put through throughout the Assassin's Creed series.
