'''Duncan Walpole''' (1679 – 1715) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] stationed in the [[Caribbean]], during the early 18th century, who attempted to defect to the [[Templars]]. During his time in the Caribbean before his betrayal, he briefly trained under Assassin [[Mentor]] [[Ah Tabai]]. He utilized this period of time to gather valuable information about the locations of various [[Assassin bureau|Assassin bureaus]] in the area.

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"/>
*Should Edward ever visit Cape Bonavista after Duncan's death, his skeleton can be found lying in the bushes where Edward hid the body.

'''Anne Bonny''' (1702 – unknown) was an [[Ireland|Irish]] [[Piracy|pirate]] who operated out of the [[Caribbean]]. During the early 18th century, she was an associate of [[Edward Kenway]] prior to his life as an [[Assassins|Assassin]], and the second quartermaster aboard his ship, the ''[[Jackdaw]]''.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Anne left Ireland for the British Colonies at an early age, where she married her husband, Jack Bonny, soon after. At sixteen, she traveled with him to the West Indies, and the pair arrived in [[Nassau]] in April 1716. There, Anne became the center of romantic attention, which greatly strained their relationship, so much so that within a year their marriage had disintegrated.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Piracy and imprisonment===
As early as 1717, Bonny served as barkeep at the Old Avery tavern in Nassau, frequented by [[Edward Thatch]], [[Benjamin Hornigold]], [[Jack Rackham]], [[Charles Vane]] and Edward Kenway. In July 1718, Rackham flirtatiously passed Bonny her first flintlock pistol, just as [[United Kingdom|British]] forces arrived in Nassau. By early 1719, the two had begun a relationship that infuriated her estranged husband, who attempted to have her arrested and whipped. Rackham and Bonny eventually eloped, and sought to leave Nassau to escape his wrath.<ref name="AC4"/>

At the same time, [[Mary Read]] - whose masculine guise Anne readily saw through - recruited Bonny to a life of piracy. Departing Nassau around June 1720 together with Rackham, they committed acts of piracy against the British [[Royal Navy]].<ref name="AC4"/>

In October of 1720, Jack Rackham and his crew, including Bonny, were attacked by a British sloop commissioned by the Governor of [[Jamaica]], with the intent to take out Rackham. Being that most of the crew were drunk, many of the pirates provided little resistance. Only Bonny, Read and an unknown man fought to their full potential.<ref name="AC4"/>

Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. Bonny and Read were only spared because they were pregnant at the time, since British law forbid pregnant women from being executed. They were then confined to a prison in [[Kingston]], awaiting hanging when they came to term.<ref name="AC4"/>

As Bonny went into labor, she and Read were rescued by Edward and [[Ah Tabai]], who intended to transport them to [[Tulum]]. However, Read passed away from sickness following the birth of her child; Bonny soon gave birth to a boy and reached Tulum safely, but her son died soon after.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Quartermaster of the ''Jackdaw''===
Following [[Adéwalé]]'s departure to join the Assassins, Bonny became Edward's quartermaster aboard the ''Jackdaw''. She stood by his side as he hunted down [[Bartholomew Roberts]], as well as the [[Templars]] [[Woodes Rogers]] and [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]].<ref name="AC4"/>

When the ''Jackdaw'' first landed in Kingston, Edward and Bonny met with the Assassin bureau leader, [[Antó]], who reported that Rogers was hosting a party before his recall to [[London]] for falling out of favor with the king; Bonny remarked that the king must have been displeased that Rogers hadn't fully purged the Caribbean of pirates. Bonny remained at the bureau while Edward killed and impersonated a visiting [[Italy|Italian]] diplomat in order to assassinate Rogers.<ref name="AC4"/>

After discerning Roberts' location in [[Príncipe]], Edward and his crew pursued Roberts' ship, the ''[[Royal Fortune]]''. Though Bonny suggested they simply sink the [[Man O' War|galleon]], Edward refused, as Roberts possessed a valuable [[Crystal Skulls|artifact]]. He instead crippled the ship before boarding and assassinating Roberts.<ref name="AC4"/>

Bonny and Edward then returned to [[Havana]] to find Torres. Anne stayed at the local bureau while Edward tracked down his final target, only to return to report that the man he assassinated was a decoy. Deducing that Torres was headed for the [[Observatory]], Edward decided to head there. Upon arriving, Bonny questioned why Edward would bring the Crystal Skull that Torres sought directly to him – Edward answered that he intended to taunt the [[Grand Master]] with it.<ref name="AC4"/>

Edward and Bonny then swam ashore and made their way through the jungle, freeing captive native [[guardians]] before arriving at the Observatory's entrance. Edward instructed Bonny to remain outside and guard the entrance, as well as protect the Crystal Skull, while he ventured inside to end Torres. Once the task was done, Bonny accompanied Ah Tabai and Adéwalé into the complex, where the Crystal Skull was reinserted into its rightful place. Edward was subsequently given a letter by Ah Tabai informing him that his wife [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline]] had passed away and that he had a daughter, [[Jennifer Scott]].<ref name="AC4"/>

===In Great Inagua===
{{Quote|England's the wrong way 'round the globe for an Irishwoman.|Bonny, refusing Edward's offer to travel with him.}}
Bonny and Edward then returned to [[Great Inagua]], where they awaited Jennifer's arrival. Edward invited Bonny to return to London with him, but she refused the offer, also claiming she didn't possess the conviction to remain with the Assassins. However, Bonny told Edward that she considered him a good man and felt he could prove himself a good father in time as well.<ref name="AC4"/>

As Edward ventured down to the docks to greet his daughter, Bonny began to sing "The Parting Glass".<ref name="AC4"/>

==Trivia==
*Originally, Edward was meant to witness and participate in Anne Bonny and Mary Read's battle against the British, ending with their imprisonment, but this idea was dropped during the early stages of development. <ref>[https://acinitiates.com/forum/discussion/3904/page/9#/9 Darby McDevitt - Forum Q&A]</ref>
*Anne is one of the youngest characters in the series, being only in her late teens for most of the game.
*Even after the player beats the game, Anne still appears as the quartermaster of the Jackdaw.

Oiá:ner

24.44.12.47: /* Trivia */

{{Era|AC3}}
{{WP-REAL|Clan Mother}}
{{Spoilerhd}}
[[File:ACIII-ClanMother.png|thumb|200px|Oiá:ner]]
'''Oiá:ner''', also known as the Clan Mother, was the leader of the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]] village of [[Kanatahséton]]. She and the other Kanien'kehá:ka in the village served as protectors of the sacred ground on which both their village and the [[Grand Temple]] stood. Oiá:ner was also the keeper of the village's [[Crystal Balls|Crystal Ball]].<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

==Biography==
In 1769, Oiá:ner showed Kanatahséton's Crystal Ball to [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] upon his return from a hunt and allowed him to interact with it. The Crystal Ball forced him into the [[Nexus]], where he communicated with [[Juno]] and learned of his destiny with the [[Assassins]].<ref name="AC3"/>

Many years later, the Clan Mother met with an adult Ratonhnhaké:ton and told him of the whereabouts of [[Kanen'tó:kon]] and other Kanien'kehá:ka men, who were attempting to attack the [[Continental Army|Continental soldiers]].<ref name="AC3"/>

Some time following Kanen'tó:kon's death, Oiá:ner spoke with Ratonhnaké:ton once more, where she revealed to him that she planned to move their people to the west to avoid the [[American Revolutionary War]], like many of the other nations had been doing. After his unpleasant reaction, she told him that she would do what was best for her people, to which Ratonhnaké:ton left the village. On his return some years later, he found the village deserted save for an old vagabond, who told him that his people had already gone.<ref name="AC3"/>

==Alternate timeline==
In a timeline conjured up by an [[Apple of Eden 3|Apple of Eden]], Oiá:ner was also the Clan Mother of the Kanatahséton village. However, instead of being concerned with pacifistic protection of their lands, it was her who encouraged the people to resist King [[George Washington|Washington]]'s army.<ref name="TOKW">''Assassin's Creed III'' - ''[[The Tyranny of King Washington]]''</ref>

In this regard, Oiá:ner suggested that Ratonhnhaké:ton drink the Red Willow tea to give him the power to defeat King Washington, against [[Kaniehtí:io]]'s wishes. The Clan Mother also led the Native resistance against the tyrant, however, despite her aims to safeguard her village by combating the threat, Oiá:ner and her fellow villagers were killed in a Bluecoat raid.<ref name="TOKW"/>

==Trivia==
*"Oiá:ner" is the Kanien'keha word for "clan mother", and translates to "righteous" or "she is good". Aside from this title, the actual name for the Kanatahséton clan mother was not given in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''.<ref>[http://www.mohawktraditionalcouncil.org/clans.html Mohawk Traditional Council website]</ref>
*During any of the Interacive Conversations with Conor, the player can surprisingly kill Oia:ner with Arrows or the Pistol, although it won't have any effect on the story.
