'''The Soldier''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Haytham Kenway]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Having found [[William Johnson]] and [[Benjamin Church]], Haytham decided to locate and recruit [[Jonathan Pitcairn]], who served under General [[Edward Braddock]].

==Dialogue==
[[File:ACIII-Soldier 2.png|thumb|250px|Benjamin informing the group about Silas Thatcher]]
*'''Benjamin:''' ''Johnson's told me what you intend. As it happens, the man who held me is the same one that you seek. His name is [[Silas Thatcher]].''
*'''Charles:''' ''That fancy lad is our slaver?''
*'''Benjamin:''' ''Don't let his velvet tongue deceive you. A crueler and more vicious creature, I've never known.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''What can you tell me of his operation?''
*'''Benjamin:''' ''He hosts at least a hundred men, more than half of whom are Redcoats.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''All this for some slaves?''
*'''Benjamin:''' ''Hardly. The man's a commander in the King's Troop, in charge of the Southgate Fort.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''We need to find a way inside... Hmmm... Let me think on it. In the meantime, I'll attend to our final recruit.''
*'''Charles:''' ''John Pitcairn's our man. I'll take you to him.''
Haytham and Charles went to the military district.
*'''Redcoat:''' ''State your business.''
*'''Charles:''' ''New recruit.''
*'''Redcoat:''' ''More kindling for the pyre, eh? Go on, then.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''How'd you manage that?''
*'''Charles:''' ''Did you forget, sir? My commission is with General Braddock - when I'm not attending to you, of course.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Pitcairn, you fool! Your acts are treacherous. Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you right now. Were you planning to announce yourself? Or did you hope my men wouldn't notice your arrival?''

*'''John:''' ''Sir, if you'll allow me to explain...''
*'''Edward:''' ''Oh, by all means. I should like very much to hear this.''
*'''John:''' ''I have not deserted, sir. I am here under Commander Amherst's orders.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Show me a letter bearing his seal and you might be spared the gallows.''
*'''John:''' ''I have no such thing... The nature of my work, sir... it's...''
*'''Haytham:''' ''...It's the sort of thing best not put to paper.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Haytham.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''General Braddock.''
*'''Edward:''' ''I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Wolves often travel in packs.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Master Pitcairn won't be here for but a few weeks. I shall return him to his proper post once our work is finished.''
*'''Edward:''' ''The Devil's work no doubt. It's bad enough my superiors insisted I grant you use of Charles. But they've said nothing about this traitor. You'll not have him.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Edward, listen to reason.''
*'''Edward:''' ''We're done here. See these gentlemen out.''
Haytham and Charles were removed from the military district by Braddock's soldiers.
*'''Charles:''' ''Well that didn't go as I expected.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''And to think, I used to call him brother...''
*'''Charles:''' ''What now? They'll chase us off if we try and return.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''We're done with the camp. And as luck would have it, so are they. Come along.''
Charles and Haytham followed a small patrol of men, including Braddock.
*'''Charles:''' ''What are you planning?''
*'''Haytham:''' ''To steal Master Pitcairn.''
*'''Charles:''' ''What?''
*'''Haytham:''' ''You'll see. Now, when I give the signal, you're to distract Braddock's patrol and lure them into a dead end.''

Haytham and Charles followed the patrol for several blocks.
*'''Redcoat 1:''' ''Hmmm. Where shall we head next?''
*'''Redcoat 2:''' ''Perhaps down Marlbrough?''
*'''Redcoat 1:''' ''No... its residents are too content. Their homes are nice - their days untroubled.''
*'''Redcoat 2:''' ''What of Lyn or Ship Street?''
*'''Redcoat 1:''' ''Yes. Those fresh arrived are often soon in dire straits. They're more likely to seize upon an opportunity to fatten their purses and feed their young.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Now!''
Charles disguised himself and ran up to General Braddock.
*'''Edward:''' ''Oi!''
*'''Charles:''' ''You're thieves and scoundrels one and all! Fie on you and your false war!''
Charles threw horse manure at Braddock and ran away.
*'''Edward:''' ''After him!''
Braddock eventually caught up to Charles.
*'''Haytham:''' ''Unhand him, Edward!''
*'''Edward:''' ''You again.''
*'''Haytham:''''' Let us go - and John Pitcairn with us.''
*'''Edward:''' ''I will not have my authority challenged.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Nor I.''

*'''Edward:''' ''Put them all in chains.''
A fight then ensued, and Haytham and his allies killed all the Redcoats, with the exception of General Braddock.
*'''Haytham:''' ''I stay my hand today because you were once my brother - and a better man than this. But should our paths ever cross again, all debts will be forgotten. You're free now, John.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Traitor! Go on then! Join them on their fool's errand! And when you find yourself lying broken and dying at the bottom of -''
*'''John:''' ''I assume you've good reason for causing all this madness? What is it you require of me?''
*'''Haytham:''' ''I'll explain everything on the way...''

==Outcome==
Haytham recruited the last name on his list, and was now finally ready to start his infiltration of Silas Thatcher's fort.

==Trivia==
*To achieve full [[synchronization]], four constraints must be completed: no more than fifteen seconds of detection, at least three sequential combo kills, no snitches were allowed to call reinforcements, and all previous constraints must be completed together in one playthrough.
