==No title==
I have a great quote of Niccolo Polo's from Oliver Bowden's novel, 'Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade.' The quote is from Part One, page 6, paragraph 6, and reads, '''Assasseen'', as you know, represents "guardian" in Arabic - the Assassins are the guardians of the secrets, and the secrets they guard are of knowledge...'''''

Can we please fix up grammatical errors?

==Partial merge==
I propose the merging of the known victims section to be placed on the [[Assassination targets]] page.

[[File:Jackdaw.png|thumb|250px|The ''Jackdaw'']]
The '''''Jackdaw''''' was a {{Wiki|brig}} captained by the [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Edward Kenway]], which he obtained with the help of his quartermaster [[Adéwalé]], during his time as a privateer and [[Piracy|pirate]]. Upon securing it, Kenway named it '''Jackdaw''''','' after the bird of the same name.

Before Kenway's captaincy, it was a [[Ships|ship]] in the [[Spanish Treasure Fleet]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

==Schematics==
The ''Jackdaw'' was 60 meters long, 48.5 meters high, had a width of 11.9 meters, and had 26 sails. Accompanying this, the ''Jackdaw'' initially had six {{Wiki|cannon}}s with additional slots for another forty,<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-03-04-assassins-creed-4-black-flag-preview-how-ubisoft-plans-to-hook-you-back-in Eurogamer: ''Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag preview: how Ubisoft plans to hook you back in'']</ref> and could employ additional upgrades such as four {{Wiki|swivel gun}}s, [[Naval mines|explosive mines]], {{Wiki|round shot}}, {{Wiki|heated shot}}, {{Wiki|chain shot}}, and {{Wiki|naval ram}}s.<ref>[http://www.indianvideogamer.com/features/assassins-creed-4-black-flag-information-blowout/18744 IndianVideoGamer: ''Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag information blowout'']</ref> It was also equipped with a {{Wiki|diving bell}} for when Edward explored the seafloor.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag#Gallery|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' gameplay reveal trailer]]</ref>

The ''Jackdaw'' was also fitted with a rowboat. The rowboat was equppied with Harpoons that Kenway used for hunting whales and sharks.

==Crew==
*[[Edward Kenway]]
*[[Adéwalé]]
*[[Anne Bonny]]
*Numerous unnamed [[pirates]]

==Trivia==
*Like many other references to the Assassin Order involving avians, a {{Wiki|Western Jackdaw|jackdaw}} is a small, black bird belonging to the crow family. Coincidentally, the color of the bird's feathers themselves could also be a reference to piracy often being symbolized by black.
*[[Darby McDevitt]] mentioned the ''Jackdaw'''s name was also a reference to the fable of [http://www.bbc.co.uk/schoolradio/subjects/english/aesops_fables/25-32/eagle_and_jackdaw the Eagle and the Jackdaw].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DarbyMcDevitt/status/376348046411694080 Twitter - Darby McDevitt]</ref>

'''Assassination targets''' were individuals that the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] – and in select instances, the [[Templars|Templar Order]] – deemed necessary of elimination.

==Middle Ages==
Around the time of the [[Third Crusade]], the Assassin [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] assassinated certain figures during his quest to find [[Adha|The Chalice]]:
*[[Tamir (1190)|Tamir]]

*[[Master of the Tower]]
*[[Harash]]
*[[Basilisk|Lord Basilisk]]<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]''</ref>

Altaïr later assassinated nine tyrannical public figures in [[Hunt for the Nine|an effort]] to restore [[Master Assassin|his lost rank]] and regain honor within the Assassin Order:
*[[Tamir]]
*[[Garnier de Naplouse]]
*[[Talal]]
*[[Abu'l Nuqoud]]
*[[William of Montferrat]]
*[[Majd Addin]]
*[[Sibrand]]
*[[Jubair al Hakim]]
*[[Maria Thorpe]] (spared)

Altaïr also had other targets:
