'''Legacy''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
[[Achilles Davenport|Achilles]] passed away, after which the homestead prepared for his service.

==Dialogue==
Connor found Achilles in his chair.
*'''Connor:''' ''Old man. Achilles.''
Connor took a piece of paper from Achilles' hand after shaking his body and determining he had died. He then went to father [[Timothy]].
*'''Timothy:''' ''What is it?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Achilles has passed.''
*'''Timothy:''' ''I'm so sorry.''
*'''Connor:''' ''He passed peacefully and with dignity.''
*'''Timothy:''' ''A service then?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Yes. Please prepare something... appropriate. I will see the grave is dug. Can you gather everyone?''
While digging the grave, Connor recalled Achilles letter.
[[File:Legacy 4.png|thumb|250px|Connor digging the grave for Achilles]]
*'''Letter:''' ''Connor, if you are reading this, I have failed to say goodbye as I wanted, but the time never seemed appropriate. I leave this land and all its resources to you. I trust you now know this place has become something of great significance. A community to serve as an example of what this would-be nation could become. But the larger and stronger it grows, the more fragile and difficult to defend it becomes. I hope your friends who are birthing this infant country understand this truth. Your unwavering tenacity and honesty have burdened you with responsibility far greater than any one man should bear. But you, if anyone are capable. You have given an old man hope that all is not lost and for that I thank you. I ask that you lay my bones to rest on the hill overlooking the water, there is no other place on this earth I'd rather be. I am grateful to have met you, knowing you will guide this land and these people to a better future. Yours in brotherhood, Achilles.''
Everyone gathered for the service.
[[File:Legacy 5.png|thumb|250px|The Homesteaders attending the funeral]]
*'''Timothy:''' ''Prayer and sermon do not suit this occasion. Achilles was not a man of God. Not my God, at any rate. But he certainly believed in a guiding force, and he is at peace now and for that we can be grateful. We lay him to rest here, atop the bluff where he made his honorable and dignified life, so he can remain that comforting presence - the old man on the hill - that we have all grown to depend on. You all had your own relationships with him, your own moments and I implore you to return here when the time is right for you and share those stories with the waves and the trees. Achilles. You will be missed but never forgotten. Go safely, old man, safely to where your soul need rest.''
The Homesteaders placed roses on the coffin, while Connor placed a [[feathers|feather]] on it.
*'''Connor:''' ''I will make you proud old man.''
Connor returned to Achilles' grave sometime later to say his final goodbyes.
[[File:Legacy 8.png|thumb|250px|Connor saying his final goodbyes to Achilles]]
*'''Connor:''' ''I never properly said goodbye to you. I was not ready. So here I am. The weight of my responsibilities never seems to diminish. There is always something else that needs fighting for. This is something you never warned me of, maybe because you thought I would have been deterred - you would have been wrong but I know you were not accustomed to that. Life carries on here. The people seem happy - they are certainly safe, at least for now. One of my brotherhood asked me something I have been struggling with, what happens if - when - we win? When we stop the [[Templars]]? It is a question I certainly do not know the answer to, perhaps you did not either. I miss you. As I miss my [[Kaniehtí:io|mother]]. I hope all is well with you, wherever you are. Goodbye, Old man, until it comes time for me to join you - then I will bother you once again.''

==Outcome==
Achilles passed away, and he was buried on the hill behind the manor.

'''Burglar on the Homestead''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
After helping [[Godfrey]] and [[Terry]] settle on the Homestead, Connor went to check up on them, only to hear [[Catherine]] shouting for help.

==Dialogue==
Connor walked up to Catherine, who was shouting for his help.
*'''Catherine:''' ''Connor! Connor! Some lout's trying to break into our house! He's armed! I'm getting the boys.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Find them, I will handle it.''
Connor ran up to the burglar attempting to break in.
*'''Connor:''' ''Stop!''
Connor chased the burglar across the nearby river.
*'''Terry:''' ''You can go home, if you want. I don't need you for this one.''
*'''Godfrey:''' ''Something's amiss!''
Connor caught up with the burglar.
*'''Burglar:''' ''Please, mister. Don't hurt me. Beggin' yer mercy, sir. I din' mean it. Won' 'appen again, I swear. I won' come back 'ere. I promise. Just leave me be, mister.''
Despite his pleas for mercy, the burglar engaged Connor in combat, only to be killed.

==Outcome==
Connor killed the burglar.

'''Dead Chest's Treasure''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
After collecting six trinkets for Peg Leg, Connor received the location of the second treasure map piece.

==Dialogue==
Connor and [[Robert Faulkner]] approached the island by rowboat.
*'''Robert:''' ''Ship graveyard's just around the point. Can't miss it. The men say Abel Owens was aboard one of the doomed vessels. If it's true, you'll find what's left of him here. Scavengers love the graveyard! So be on your guard!''
Connor made his way to a nearby shore.
*'''Connor:''' ''If Abel Owens' ship wrecked around here, they must have been looking for something themselves.''
Connor climbed around the shore's cliff to the ship graveyard. Upon reaching Owens' vessel, Connor spotted another ship nearby.
*'''Connor:''' ''Another ship. Scavengers.''
[[File:Dead Chest's Treasure 4.png|thumb|250px|A scavenger holding part of Kidd's map]]
Connor jumped down onto the vessel just as one of the scavengers found the map piece.
*'''Connor:''' ''Put that down.''
*'''Scavenger:''' ''Piss off! I found it! 'Tis mine!''
The scavenger started to flee.
*'''Connor:''' ''Stop!''
Connor started chasing the scavenger through the graveyard.
*'''Scavenger:''' ''Leave me be! I found it!''
*'''Connor:''' ''What you carry is mine!''
The scavenger used a [[Chase breakers|chase breaker]] to hinder Connor's pursuit.
*'''Scavenger:''' ''Nice try!''
*'''Connor:''' ''Not that easy.''
Connor continued chasing the scavenger.
*'''Scavenger:''' ''It's not yours! Leave me alone! Why are you chasing me! I've done nothing wrong!''
*'''Connor:''' ''Stop and give me what I came for!''
*'''Scavenger:''' ''Ha ha! What's mine is mine! Rantipole!''
*'''Connor:''' ''Hand it over!''
*'''Scavenger:''' ''Sorry mate! Looks like you lost this treasure hunt!''
As the scavenger ran into a cave, Connor jumped to an unstable mast, breaking underneath his weight.
[[File:Dead Chest's Treasure 6.png|thumb|250px|Connor assassinating the scavenger]]
*'''Connor:''' ''Damn.''
Connor chased the scavenger into the cave.
*'''Scavenger:''' ''Fellas! Some hector in a hood's chasin' me!''
*'''Mercenary:''' ''We'll deal with 'im.''
After killing the group of scavengers, Connor retrieved the parchment.
*'''Connor:''' ''"Near the wolf's abode."''

==Outcome==
Connor recovered the second piece of the treasure map.

The only man. If not for me, the Continental Navy would remain but a handful of rafts. For all your vision, you Assassins are blind to the truth.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Enough.''
*'''Nicholas:''' ''Wait. Let the Randolph die with me. Don't take her as a prize. Please. Please. I want no quarter, just to sink with my ship.''

Nicholas Biddle

'''Nicholas Biddle''' (1750 – 1778) was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] and one of the first captains of the [[Continental Army|Continental Navy]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Nicholas was born in [[Philadelphia]] in the year 1750 to William Biddle and Mary Scull. At the age of thirteen, he journeyed on a voyage to the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], during which he was stranded on a desert island for two months. In 1770, Biddle joined the British [[Royal Navy]], where he served as a junior officer. During his time under the British Crown, Biddle met with [[Robert Faulkner]].

[[File:ACIII-HardWay 6.png|thumb|250px|left|Connor confronting Church and Biddle]]
Later, while in [[Martha's Vineyard]], Biddle was talking with [[Benjamin Church]], who intended to recruit him into the [[Templars|Templar Order]]. As the meeting progressed, Biddle first encountered [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]], an [[Assassins|Assassin]], where he quickly exchanged an insult with Faulkner, before the developing argument was cut short by [[Amanda Bailey]].

In 1773, Biddle resigned his commission to join the Continental Navy at the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. Following this, Biddle was given command of a schooner vessel, the ''Franklin'', and patrolled the naval convoy routes.

===Reign of the East Coast===
Biddle devised a plan with his Templar co-conspirators in the British Navy, ultimately aiming to strengthen and expand the Continental Navy under his command for the Templar cause. Biddle sent Templar [[ships]] to attack merchant vessels in Martha's Vineyard and to occupy [[Fort Phoenix]], despite its lack of strategic value.

From there, Biddle pleaded and tricked the [[Continental Congress]] into believing that the British Navy was a threat to the Colonial coast. As a result, the Congress commissioned more ships for the Continental Navy, and by 1776, the Congress made Biddle the captain of a frigate, the ''[[USS Randolph|Randolph]]''.

Biddle continued patrolling the Colonial coast and naval trade routes while orchestrating British attacks with his Templar co-conspirators. The ''Randolph'' attacked [[Nantucket]], claiming it was a British Loyalist post when it had actually sided with the Continental Army, in an attempt to further convince the Congress that more ships were needed. Biddle also planned to boost his reputation and service record in order to be promoted to the rank of Admiral over the entire Continental Navy fleet.

[[File:ACIII-Frenchinvolvement 10.png|thumb|250px|Biddle aboard the ''Randolph'']]
Soon after, the ''Randolph'' was assigned to escort ''[[Belladonna|La Belladonna]]'', a [[French Navy|French ship]] providing aid to the Continental war drive. However, the ''Randolph'' abandoned ''La Belladonna'' to be attacked and seized by Templar ships. The ''[[Aquila]]'', captained by Connor, came to ''<nowiki>La Belladonna'</nowiki>''s defense before the ships attacked. The two vessels then destroyed the formation of Templar ships, while Biddle observed the battle safely from a distance.

In 1778, in order to remove Connor as a threat to his plans, Biddle patrolled the Caribbean coast, successfully luring the ''Aquila'' into a trap. In this encounter, the ''Randolph'' attacked the ''Aquila'' with the aid of two ''Men-of-War''. However, the ''Aquila'' destroyed the ''Men-of-War'' and successfully disabled the ''<nowiki>Randolph'</nowiki>''s mast with a single broadside of chained cannonballs.

Following this, Connor and the ''<nowiki>Aquila'</nowiki>''s crew boarded and attacked the ''Randolph'', during which Connor confronted Biddle on the quarterdeck, causing both crews to cease fighting and watch as the two captains dueled.

===Death===
{{Quote|Wait. Let the Randolph die with me. Don't take her as a prize. Please. Please. I want no quarter, just to sink with my ship.|Biddle's final words to Connor.|Assassin's Creed III}}
[[File:ACIII-Biddlehideout 5.png|thumb|250px|left|Biddle dueling Connor]]
At first, Connor gained the upper hand, until Biddle fired a shot at a gunpowder keg, causing both of them to fall below deck. The two soon continued their duel, with Connor emerging victorious and wounding Biddle. While dying, Biddle justified his actions by claiming that he benefited and empowered the Continental Navy. He rebuked the Assassins, calling Connor a fool for not understanding or accepting his goals.

With his final words, Biddle asked Connor not to take the ''Randolph'' as a prize, instead allowing him to die and sink with his ship. Connor granted this request and left, igniting several barrels of gunpowder behind him, destroying the ''Randolph''.

==Personality==
Biddle was a capable, experienced, brave and proud individual, which showed itself in his nautical achievements. He also viewed himself as a "man of vision", and was ambitious, charismatic and arrogant to the point that he saw himself as becoming Admiral of the entire Continental Navy.

Despite this, Biddle was a well admired and respected captain, in that not only did he lead successful campaigns, he kept morale and his crew's efficiency high by fairly sharing the spoils of victory and through not using corporal punishment.

==Trivia==
*Out of all the Templar portraits in the [[Davenport Homestead]] manor, Biddle's was not crossed out after his death.
*Despite the fact that Biddle's portrait appeared on the wall in the cellar when Connor was first shown it, he failed to recognise him at [[Martha's Vineyard]].
*While Biddle's assassination did not take place within the main storyline of ''Assassin's Creed III'', the naval sequence in which he featured was required for the full [[synchronization]] of Connor's memories.
*Biddle's first vessel was a schooner, the ''Franklin'', which had been named after [[Benjamin Franklin]].
*Historically, Biddle died off the coast off [[Barbados]], while in the game, he dies in [[the Bahamas]].
