[[File:ACRG Liam O'Brien.jpg|thumb|250px|Shay Cormac with Liam]]<br />
'''Liam O'Brien''' (1726 – March 1760) was a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] operating in the [[United States|British Colonies]] during the [[Seven Years' War]]. A childhood friend of [[Shay Cormac]], Liam was responsible for bringing Shay into the Brotherhood. In spite of Liam being a few years older than him, Shay formed a brotherly bond with him, even though Liam was wiser and more experienced.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Early life===<br />
Liam was born in {{Wiki|Plymouth, Massachusetts|Plymouth}}, [[Massachusetts]]. A family of [[Ireland|Irish]] immigrants, the O'Briens struggled to survive until they moved to New York, where Liam's father began to work for a shipping merchant. Eventually, Liam joined his father at work, loading ships bound for [[England]]. It was at work where he first met a young Shay Cormac, and the two became fast friends. Liam looked after the younger Shay, who lived in a rough neighbourhood and had a knack for getting himself into trouble.<br />
<br />
Over the next years, Liam became aware of his employers' growing wealth, even as his fellow workers remained underpaid and mistreated by their superiors. Eventually, the tensions rose to a breaking point, and Liam recruited several of his co-workers in a plot to rob their employer and distribute the money among themselves. However, in the middle of the heist, the group was caught, and Liam was forced to kill a man in self-defense. Wishing to protect his son, Liam's father took the blame for the murder and was executed by the authorities.<br />
<br />
===Building the Brotherhood===<br />
In the coming years, Liam drifted from one job to the next and continued to rob the city's richer citizens, sending the money to his aging mother. He also distanced himself from his fellow friends, including Shay. In 1738, he met [[Achilles Davenport]], who gave him small tasks and errands to perform. Over time, Achilles's influence over Liam grew, and Liam looked to the older man as a teacher. Eventually, in 1743, Achilles inducted Liam into the Assassin Order as his first student, who in turn helped recruit the other members of the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial Brotherhood]], such as [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de La Vérendrye|Chevalier de la Vérendrye]], [[Kesegowaase]], and [[Hope Jensen]].<br />
<br />
In 1748, Liam reconnected with Shay, who had just lost his father, and managed to get Shay back on his feet. The two became more inseparable than ever, and Shay was soon included in the list of inductees. At that point, Achilles tasked Liam with keeping an eye over Shay, just as he had years ago.<br />
<br />
=== Death ===<br />
Liam dies when he and Shay fall from a cliff after engaging in combat. He still thinks of Shay as a traitor, but hopes his world ends up being a good one.<br />
