The '''1763 Colonial Assassin purge''' was a full-scale assault on the [[Colonial Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]] in the [[United States|Thirteen Colonies]] by the [[Colonial Rite of the Templar Order|Colonial Rite]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], led by [[Grand Master]] [[Haytham Kenway]].

==History==
Following Haytham's arrival in the New World in 1754, the newly formed Colonial Rite quickly came into conflict with the already established [[Assassins|Assassin]] Brotherhood in the region. While initially a proxy war between the Templars and [[mercenaries]] recruited by the Assassins, the conflict soon intensified.

After nine years, the Templars launched their assault and attacked the [[Davenport Homestead]]; they killed all Assassins present, with the exception of their aging [[Mentor]], [[Achilles Davenport]].

Convinced that the lone Assassin no longer posed a threat, the Templars spared Achilles' life, on the condition that he give up his life as an Assassin. Achilles agreed, and spent the next six years in complete isolation in his manor until the arrival of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].

== Trivia ==
* Due to the involvement of the Seven Years' War in the event, as well as the plot of'' [[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]] ''being set in and around the Seven Years' War, it is presumed that [[Shay Cormac]] was involved in the Colonial Assassin purge. To further support this possibility, Haytham Kenway is in ''Rogue ''as an ally character, supposedly calling on Shay to assist in the war.
