'''Samuel Adams''' (1722 – 1803) was an American statesman, political philosopher, and one of the Founding Fathers of the [[United States]]. He was also a member of the [[Sons of Liberty]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Samuel was born in [[Boston]] in the year 1722 to Samuel Adams, Sr., and Mary Adams. He attended Harvard, graduating in 1740 and continued his studies, earning a master's degree in 1743. Adams was elected to the Massachusetts Legislature in 1765, which was the beginning of his political career.

As a politician in colonial [[Massachusetts]], Samuel was a leader of the movement that became the [[American Revolutionary War|American Revolution]]. He was also one of the architects of the principles of American republicanism, which shaped the political culture of the United States.

===Boston Massacre===
{{Quote|Over here! You're Achilles' boy. Connor, was it? I saw what happened at the Town House. A fine mess, that.|Samuel Adams to Connor after the massacre.|Assassin's Creed III}}
During the events that lead to the American Revolutionary War, Samuel met and became a trusted associate of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], known as Connor, after [[Achilles Davenport]] told Connor to find him on his first trip to [[Boston]], just after the recent massacre. Amongst other things, Samuel taught Connor how to reduce his notoriety, waving away the man's worries by explaining propaganda, and also introduced him to the Mason tunnels underneath Boston, before chartering Connor a ship back to the [[Davenport Homestead]].

===Boston Tea Party===
{{Quote|First, we make our way to Nathaniel Bradlee's house to fetch the rest of our little group. Then it's on to Griffin's Wharf, where we board the ships and dump the tea. Simple as that.|Samuel Adams explaining his plan to Connor.|Assassin's Creed III}}
Three years later, Connor returned to Boston to request Adams' aid in stopping [[William Johnson]], a [[Templars|Templar]], from purchasing the land his people lived on. However, he became sidetracked by a number of incidents relating to British oppression.

Upon meeting with the exasperated Assassin, Adams explained their plan; by destroying the newly arrived tea shipment, he'd be depriving Johnson of the means to purchase his people's land while the Sons of Liberty would be sending a message to [[United Kingdom|England]]. Together, Adams, along with Connor, [[Stephane Chapheau]], [[Paul Revere]] and [[William Molineux]] staged the [[Boston Tea Party]], in which they dumped the cargo of tea crates into the water.

===Igniting the Revolution===
{{Quote|Connor, allow me to introduce you to our newly appointed Commander-in-Chief, George Washington.|Samuel Adams introducing Connor to George Washington.|Assassin's Creed III}}
Some time later, both Adams and Connor attended the induction of [[George Washington]] as Commander-in-Chief of the [[Continental Army]]. While there, Connor nearly caused a scene with [[Charles Lee]], who was passed up for the Commander-in-Chief position, before Adams restrained him and distracted the Assassin by formally introducing him to Washington. As Washington excused himself to attend to Lee, Connor asked Adams if he had news of [[Jonathan Pitcairn]], who was planning on destroying Patriot weapons and supplies so that they would have no means to continue their revolution.

Adams replied that Pitcairn had barricaded himself in Boston with his army, but that the Continental Army was planning a siege to draw him out. Samuel then passed Connor a letter to give to [[Israel Putnam]] to secure his aid. Though Connor also wanted to assassinate Lee, Adams said they'd have to wait for another opportunity.

Connor was later present for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, in which Adams, [[John Hancock]] and [[Benjamin Franklin]] scribed their names to the document.

==Alternate Timeline==
In the Alternate Timeline, Adams is seen again several times in 'The Betrayal' leading a small rebellion against King Washington.

'''Eagle Flight''' was an ability used by [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] in an [[The Tyranny of King Washington|alternate reality]] created by an [[Apple of Eden 3|Apple of Eden]]. Ratonhnhaké:ton received this ability, amongst others, after drinking tea from the Red Willow and visiting the Sky World.

==Ability==
When activated, Ratonhnhaké:ton was able to fly at incredible speeds, allowing him to quickly travel or assassinate [[guards]] across short to medium distances.

==Trivia==
*The [[Assassin's Creed III achievements|achievement]] "'''Frequent Flyer'''" could be earned by travelling 1 kilometer with Eagle Flight.
*Using Animal Powers ebbed Ratonhnhaké:ton's health similarly to how [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] used [[Ezio's Apple of Eden|his Apple of Eden]] in [[Rome]].
*Eagle Flight bears some resemblance to the supernatural ability 'Blink' from the game Dishonored, they both grant the user the ability to transport short distances without being detected.
