'''Duncan Walpole''' (1679 – 1715) was a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] stationed in the [[Caribbean]], during the early 18th century, who attempted to defect to the [[Templars]].

In June of 1715, the [[Royal Navy]] [[Ships|warship]] carrying Walpole, the [[HMS Intrigue|HMS ''Intrigue'']], identified and attacked a [[Piracy|pirate]] [[brig]], the ''[[Jacobite]]'', captained by [[Bramah]]. The pirates managed to de-mast the [[frigate]], but soon found that their own weapon magazine had been hit. Boarding the ship, Walpole assassinated the captain, but was thrown overboard by the magazine explosion.

Shipwrecked in [[Cape Bonavista]], [[Cuba]], Walpole attempted to enlist the aid of the only other survivor - the pirate [[Edward Kenway]] - in reaching [[Havana]]. Edward attempted to haggle the price of passage, but Duncan threatened him with a [[Firearms|flintlock pistol]] in response, only to find that it was unable to fire due to wet gunpowder. Walpole subsequently fled into the jungle, and Edward gave chase before eventually dueling and killing him.

On Duncan's corpse, Edward found a letter from the [[Spain|Spanish]] Governor of Cuba, [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], referencing the cargo Walpole was bringing to him: a [[Blood vials|blood vial]] and maps pertaining to the locations of [[Assassin bureau]]s across the Caribbean. Edward chose to assume Walpole's identity and collect the reward himself.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Duncan Walpole was the second cousin of [[Robert Walpole|Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford]], the generally-recognized first Prime Minister of Great Britain and an eventual acquaintance of Edward Kenway.<ref name="AC4"/>
