The '''Fountain of Youth''' was a fabled fountain located in [[Florida]] that contained a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] within its waters, giving rise to the legend that drinking from it would grant eternal youth.

During the [[Age of Discovery]], several [[Europe]]an explorers tried to find and claim the fountain as their own. In 1521, the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Templars|Templar]]-influenced explorer [[Juan Ponce de León]] journeyed to Florida to obtain the artifact. The [[Assassins]] in Florida were determined to stop Ponce de León, and sent [[Miguel Ramón Carlo de Lugo]] to convince him to abandon his quest and turn back. When Ponce de León refused, the Assassins struck him with a poisoned arrow that would later result in his death.

The '''Caribbean Assassins''' were the Brotherhood of [[Assassins]] located in the [[Caribbean]] area, founded in the early 16th century after the Assassins' spread to the New World in 1503.

==History==
In 1503, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] sent a group of Assassins to [[Constantinople]], where they managed to retrieve maps of the New World from [[Piri Reis]]' workshop. Realizing that the Templars were already expanding their influence to the new-found lands, the Assassins swiftly followed suit.<ref name="Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts (Project Legacy)|Contracts]]</ref> After these Assassin immigrants from [[Europe]] made contact with the indigenous peoples in the Caribbean, a lot of natives joined the Order, finding similarities between their own way of living and the Assassin ideology.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

By 1510, the Caribbean Assassins were known to be located in [[Florida]], where they discovered and protected the [[Fountain of Youth]], which held an [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]]. That year, the Assassins welcomed the former slave and translator for the Spanish Army, [[Alonso Carlo]], and his adopted son [[Miguel Ramon Carlo de Lugo]], who they trained to become an Assassin, after their escape from persecution by [[Juan Ponce de León]]. In 1521, Ponce de León arrived in Florida searching for the Fountain of Youth, where he was halted by Miguel. After Ponce de León refused to stop his search, the Assassins shot him with poisoned arrows, which later caused his death.<ref name="DYL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations – Discover Your Legacy]]''</ref>

During the 18th century, Caribbean Assassins had the same organization of the [[Levantine Assassins]], with their Head Quarter located in [[Tulum]] and [[Assassin bureau|bureaus]] placed in the [[Havana]] and [[Kingston]] and [[Nassau]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

In 1673, [[Thom Kavanagh]], a native of Boston who worked at [[Peter Beckford]]'s estate in [[Jamaica]], was pursued by the [[Grand Master]] of the [[Caribbean]] [[Templars]], [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], due to the fact Thom was a [[Sage]], a reincarnation of [[Aita]], who knew the location of the [[Observatory]]. The Assassins, with [[Bahlam]], decided to save Thom and led him to Tulum. Despite that, Thom refused to share the Observatory's location with the Assassins, while he couldn't explain the visions that haunted him. Bahlam accepted the explanation, and let Thom leave the island with the help of Bahlam's son, [[Ah Tabai]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

Four decades later, Ah Tabai became the [[Mentor]] of the Caribbean Assassins, and was targeted by an Assassin turncoat, [[Duncan Walpole]]. Duncan failed in his task however, due to his demise at the hands of the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]]. However, Kenway unknowingly harmed the Assassins by delivering the maps of the Assassin bureaus in the Caribbean, as well as a [[Blood vials|blood vial]], to Laureano Torres and the Templars. After, Torres said to his new recruits that a new Sage was found, know as [[Bartholomew Roberts|Roberts]]. The Templars deciced to interrogate him to know the location of the Observatory. But the Assassins tried to save him, unsucessfully. <ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

During the year 1716, the Head Quarter of Assassins was attacked by a British regiment leaded by the slaver [[Laurens Prins]]. The pirate Edward Kenway with the help of the pirate-assassin [[Mary Read]], knew as James Kidd, saved the lives of some assassins and crew members.
