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. As of the 18th century, the Caribbean Assassins mirrored the organizational structure of the [[Levantine Assassins]], with their headquarters located in [[Tulum]] and [[Assassin bureau|bureaus]] placed in [[Havana]], [[Kingston]], [[Nassau]] and the [[Cayman Islands]].

==History==
===Early 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, many 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 [[Slavery|slave]] and translator for the Spanish Army, [[Alonso Carlo]], and his adopted son [[Miguel Ramón Carlo de Lugo]], 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, ultimately leading to his death.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations – Discover Your Legacy]]''</ref>

In 1673, [[Thomas Kavanagh, Jr.|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]]. Knowing Kavanagh to be a [[Sages|Sage]], a reincarnation of [[Aita]], Torres believed the man knew the location of the [[Observatory]]. In an effort to keep the Templars from learning the Observatory's location, the Assassins, with [[Bahlam]], intercepted Kavanagh and brought him to Tulum. Kavanagh 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 Kavanagh leave the island with the help of Bahlam's son, [[Ah Tabai]].<ref name="AC4"/>

===Under Ah Tabai===
Four decades later, Ah Tabai became the [[Mentor]] of the Caribbean Assassins, and made the recovery and protection of the Sage one of the Order's highest priorities. However, despite his efforts, the Assassins were not able to locate Kavanagh's successor before he was captured by the Templars.<ref name="AC4"/>

Under Ah Tabai's direction, the Caribbean Brotherhood grew vast and expanded throughout the West Indies, establishing bureaus stationed in Havana, Kingston, Nassau and the Cayman Islands. Ah Tabai maintained contact with the British, North American and Chinese Brotherhoods at the time.<ref name="AC4"/>

In 1698, Ah Tabai recruited [[Antó]], a Maroon leader who rose in the ranks of the Brotherhood, effectively becoming the Kingston bureau leader. Some time later, [[Rhona Dinsmore]], [[Opía Apito]], [[Vance Travers]] and [[Mary Read]] were inducted into the Order, with the first three becoming bureau leaders of Havana, the Cayman Islands and Nassau, respectively.<ref name="AC4"/>

Ah Tabai tasked the Assassin [[Duncan Walpole]] with leading a team to rescue the Sage, unaware that Walpole had defected to the Templar Order and intended to assist them. Duncan failed in his task however, due to his demise at the hands of the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]]. Kenway then unknowingly harmed the Assassins by delivering the locations of bureaus in the Caribbean, as well as a [[Blood vials|blood vial]], to Torres and the Templars.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:A Man They Call The Sage 7.png|thumb|250px|left|Assassins attempting to rescue Roberts]]
Torres revealed that the new Sage was a man by the name of [[Bartholomew Roberts]] whom they intended to interrogate to uncover the location of the Observatory. The Assassins attempted to free Roberts via ground assault in Havana and were ultimately unsuccessful, though Roberts later managed to escape Templar custody.<ref name="AC4"/>

In 1716, Tulum was attacked by a British regiment led by a Templar-allied slaver [[Laurens Prins]]. Kenway, with the help of Mary Read, managed to defend the Assassin encampment and push back the attackers, though Tulum was continually assaulted by the Templars in the following years. Edward became an uneasy ally of the Assassins, tracking the Templars who hunted the bureau leaders across the Caribbean.<ref name="AC4"/>

In 1722, after repeated attacks on Tulum from both the [[Royal Navy|Royal]] and [[Spanish Navy]], Kenway offered his hideout on [[Great Inagua]] to the Brotherhood. Ah Tabai accepted and eventually moved the Order to the new location, though he expressed concern that their headquarters might be compromised again. He therefore decided to scatter the Order among the people, similar to what [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] did with the Levantine Assassins in the 12th century.<ref name="AC4"/>

In 1723, Ah Tabai appointed a faction of Assassins to guard the Observatory along with the indigenous [[Guardians]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>

In the mid 1730s, Ah Tabai recruited [[Achilles Davenport]] as his last student.<ref name="ACRG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref> In 1735, [[Adéwalé]] – a previous student of Ah Tabai – intercepted a Templar [[Ships|ship]] containing a parcel, which inside held the [[Precursor box]]. Adéwalé was shipwrecked and left marooned on [[Port-au-Prince]], during which time he aided the [[Maroon rebellion]] by recruiting warrior slaves to the cause, helping in their struggle against the [[French Army]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – ''[[Freedom Cry]]''</ref>

Around 1740, Achilles was sent to the North American colonies to establish a Brotherhood there. Ah Tabai would continue to correspond with Achilles on his progress, until the former's death around 1745.<ref name="ACRG"/>

After the death of Torres, Rhona Dinsmore's Assassins soon took control of the underworld in Havana. In 1751, the Templar [[Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer]] seduced Dinsmore, and was able to steal her maps of the [[Yucatán Peninsula]]. As she was too busy keeping Havana safe from conflict between the colonial empires, Rhona requested Achilles to eliminate de Ferrer if given the opportunity.<ref name="ACRG"/>
