{{Era|AC3}}
{{Stub}}
Over the course of their lives, [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] had various '''conversations''' with different people.

==Haytham Kenway==
===The Providence===
On the second day of the voyage on board the ''[[Providence]]'', Haytham entered one of the cabins and spoke to its inhabitant, Rupert Martin.
*'''Haytham:''' ''Have a moment to talk?''
*'''Rupert:''' ''Ah, a fellow [[London]]er! Good to see I'm not the only man of means aboard. Rupert Martin, pleased to meet you.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Haytham Kenway. Pleasure.''
*'''Rupert:''' ''Seems we picked an excellent time to leave the city.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Oh?''
*'''Rupert:''' ''You didn't hear about the murder at the [[Theatre Royal|opera house]]?''
*'''Haytham:''' ''No. What happened?''
*'''Rupert:''' ''They're still trying to sort it out. And I suspect they'll be at it for a good while.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Any word on the motive?''
*'''Rupert:''' ''They've ruled out robbery. So perhaps it was a business arrangement gone sour. Or something more personal... more lurid. Who knows. But I am glad to be away from it. The city grows more dangerous by the day.''

Haytham entered the infirmary, and spoke to the [[Doctors|doctor]], who was tending to a sailor.
*'''Haytham:''' ''Good morning, Doctor.''
*'''Doctor:''' ''To you as well.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''A question, if I may. Do you serve aboard the ship? Or are you simply taking passage?''
*'''Doctor:''' ''A bit of both, actually. I've been commissioned by the royal navy to study maritime illness. I'll be observing the crew during the journey. We have found that sailors fare far better on the open seas than the rest of us. I hope to discover why that is.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Well, I hope you are successful in your endeavors.''
*'''Doctor:''' ''As do I. Thank you for the kind words.''

Haytham then made his way to the upper deck, where he met the ship's captain, [[Samuel Smythe]].
*'''Haytham:''' ''Captain.''
*'''Samuel:''' ''Mister Kenway.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''I just wanted to thank you again for taking me aboard, and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.''
*'''Samuel:''' ''Inconvenience would be an understatement.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''I'm sorry, I don't follow.''
*'''Samuel:''' ''My ship was held in port for two days that we might accommodate you. I lost several contracts as a result.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''I had no idea...''
*'''Samuel:''' ''Of course not. You nobles are all the same...''

Following the encounter with the sailors, Haytham spoke to the man at the helm.
*'''Haytham:''' ''Do you expect we'll have a pleasant crossing?''
*'''Helmsman''' ''It is a quiet time of year – though rogue storms and troubled waters are not unheard of. But no need to fret. At worst they'll prove an inconvenience. I'm more concerned about [[Piracy|pirates]] and rogue privateers.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Have you encountered them before?''
*'''Helmsman:''' ''Aye. But the Providence is a strong [[Ships|ship]] – and her crew well trained. They will surely keep us safe.''

Several days later, Haytham encountered [[Hector Graves]] while inspecting the lower deck for signs of mutiny.
*'''Graves:''' ''You lookin' for another fight, that it? Go away.''

Haytham then approached Quill.
*'''Quill''' ''I ain't got nothing to say to you.''

Haytham continued his search.
*'''Mills:''' ''Quite the basting you gave Graves and Quill.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Wasn't by choice.''
*'''Mills:''' ''Aye. Blockheads, the both of them. Where are my manners? [[Louis Mills]]. Pleased to meet you.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Haytham Kenway. So should I be watching my back?''
*'''Mills:''' ''I think the boys learned their lesson. They're normally not so nasty. Honest. It's just the past few crossings have been a bit... rough.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Oh?''
*'''Mills:''' ''Captain's trying to cut costs. Reduced rations, lower wages, more dangerous cargo... It's put the crew on edge.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Is there cause for concern, then?''
*'''Mills:''' ''Not if I can help it. But the Captain needs to think about the way he treats his men...''

Upon speaking to [[James Fairweather]], Haytham returned to Smythe.
*'''Samuel:''' ''You must expose whatever they're plotting.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Your crew is a tight-lipped bunch, but I'll see what I can do...''
*'''Samuel:''' ''Well, hurry up!''

===Benjamin Franklin===
During his time in [[Boston]] in 1754, Haytham met [[Benjamin Franklin]] inside a general store.
*'''Franklin:''' ''Hello again.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''More [[Almanac pages]]?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Not quite. It's a treatise, actually.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Oh? Concerning what?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''The benefits of taking an older woman as a lover.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Really? This, I'd like to hear.''
*'''Franklin:''' ''First and most obvious – they're wiser. And so this makes for far more stimulating conversation. Makes other things more stimulating as well. But more on that in a moment.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Alright. Your argument for experience makes some sense.''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Second, when beauty fades, women must improve their utility – lest they be discarded and forgotten. Rare is an old woman who is not also kind, compassionate, and good.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''That's something of a generalization.''
*'''Franklin:''' ''But also true. Now onto the third! Older women cannot conceive! Which means one less thing over which to fret. In fact, you also decrease the chance of acquiring something like the French Pox – its presence clearly visible – or the woman dead.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''And should one desire a child?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Then make a young woman your wife. Let the older woman be a mistress. And that brings me to my fourth point: With age comes prudence. An older woman is less likely to reveal your indiscretions.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Yes. I suppose you know quite a bit about that.''
*'''Franklin:''' ''And proud of it, thank you! As to the fifth reason: Because in every animal that walks upright, the deficiency of the fluids that fill the muscles appears first in the highest part: the face first grows lank and wrinkled, then the neck; then the breast and arms; the lower parts continuing to last as plump as ever: So covering all the above with a basket, and regarding only what is below the girdle, it is impossible of two women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all cats are grey, the pleasure of corporal enjoyment with an old woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every knack being by practice capable of improvement.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''You mad bastard!''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Well it's true. And believe me, I should know – I've sampled a great many. You should try one as well! Like a fine wine, they only improve with age. Although... I suppose if left unattended too long, they have a tendency to sour. And that, my friend, is a most unpleasant experience. Better to work in a field often plowed, you know?''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Is there more?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Indeed, indeed. The sixth is this: the sin is less. To take a maidenhead is a great responsibility. Mishandled, it can ruin lives. No such risk with an older woman. And this implies the seventh: younger women are more given to compunction. Anxiety and unease are not present in the more aged and experienced. And as to the the last of my reasons. Well it's really quite simple. Older women are so very grateful for the attention.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''You make a compelling argument, Mister Franklin. I might just have to run a few tests myself.''
*'''Franklin:''' ''I highly recommend it!''

Haytham spoke to Franklin another time:
*'''Franklin:''' ''I owe you a great thanks by the way.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''What for?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Speaking with me. You see, I have very few friends in Boston these days.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''And what did you do to earn their ire?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Started with a cartoon I drew, suggesting unification. How else can we hope to withstand the French menace? I proposed something similar at the [[Albany Congress|Albany Conference]] as well, and it ruffled quite a few feathers. See, I've begun to wonder if Parliament best serves our interests. The Colonies might be better off independent and autonomous. Most of my peers however, haven't taken kindly to the suggestion.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Are things truly so bad under the Crown?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''But you've answered your own question! Under! Why under? It should be side-by-side. Does [[France]] reside beneath [[United Kingdom|Britain]]? Do the [[Italy|Italians]]? The Prussians? The [[Spain|Spanish]]? No. Sure they may disagree from time to time, even come to blows, but they stand on equal ground, and we should as well.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Are the Colonies not simply an extension of the Kingdom though? Another borough, if you will?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''No, we are not. We've evolved into something else, something distinct.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Hmmm, I suppose it's only natural to desire parity. We leave behind our parents, our childhoods, our homes, and seek to find a place in the world. If it's true for a person, why not a nation?''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Yes, yes, exactly.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Hmmm, interesting.''
*'''Franklin:''' ''Anyway, I've taken up enough of your time. Please, don't let me keep you from your work.''

===Charles Lee===
Between missions, Haytham and [[Charles Lee]] conversed in the [[Green Dragon Tavern]].
*'''Haytham:''' ''Do you like it here, Charles?''
*'''Lee:''' ''There's a certain charm to Boston I suppose, to all of the colonies really. Granted their cities have none of London's sophistication or splendour, but the people are earnest and hard-working. There's a pioneer spirit that I find compelling.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''It's quite something really, watching a place that's finally found its feet.''
*'''Lee:''' ''Feet awash in the blood of others, I'm afraid.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Ah, that's a story as old as time itself, and one that's not likely to change. We're cruel and desperate creatures, set in our conquering ways. The Saxons and the Franks, the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] and the Safavids – I could go on for hours! The whole of human history is but a series of conflicts and subjugations. A desire for more, and more, and more.''
*'''Lee:''' ''I pray we one day rise above it.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''While you pray, I'll act. We'll see who finds success first, hmm?''
*'''Lee:''' ''It was an expression.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Aye, and a dangerous one. Words have power: wield them wisely.''

===William Johnson===
*'''Haytham:''' ''First though, I'd like to know a little more about you, [[William Johnson|William]]. Tell me about yourself.''
*'''Johnson:''' ''What's there to tell? I was born in Ireland to Catholic parents – which I learnt early in life, severely limited my opportunities. So I converted to Protestantism and journeyed here at the behest of my uncle. But I fear my Uncle Peter was not the sharpest of tools. He sought to open trade with the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]] – but chose to build his settlement away from the trade routes instead of on them. I tried to reason with the man, but as I said, not the sharpest. So I took what little money I'd earned and bought my own plot of land. I built a home, a farm, a store and a mill – humble beginnings – but well situated, which made all the difference.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''So this is how you came to know the Mohawk?''
*'''Johnson:''' ''Indeed – and it has proven a valuable relationship.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''But you've heard nothing of the [[First Civilization|precursors]]' site? No [[Grand Temple|hidden temple]] or ancient constructs?''
*'''Johnson:''' ''Yes and no – which is to say, they have their fair share of sacred sites but none matching what you describe. Earthen mounds, forest clearings, hidden caves – all are natural though. No strange metal... no odd glows.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Hmmm, it is well hidden then.''
*'''Johnson:''' ''Even to them, it seems. But cheer up my friend, you'll have your precursor treasure, I swear it.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''To our success then.''
*'''Johnson:''' ''And soon!''

After identifying [[Silas Thatcher]]:
*'''Haytham:''' ''This business with Silas confuses me! If Britain stands any chance of pushing back the French, she must ally with the natives, not enslave them!''
*'''Johnson:''' ''Silas is loyal only to his purse. That his actions harm the Crown is irrelevant. So long as there are buyers for his product, he'll continue to procure it.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''All the more reason to stop him then.''
*'''Johnson:''' ''My days are spent in congress with the locals – attempting to convince them that we're the ones they should trust; that the French are merely using them as tools to be abandoned once they've won.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Your words must lose their strength when held against the reality of Silas's actions.''
*'''Johnson:''' ''I've tried to explain he does not represent us, but he wears the red coat; he commands a fort; I must appear to them either a liar or a fool... likely both.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Take heart, brother, when we deliver them his head, they will know your words were true.''

===Thomas Hickey===
*'''Haytham:''' ''Any news?''
*'''[[Thomas Hickey|Hickey]]:''' ''Whispers of things, nothin' solid at the moment. I know you're looking for word of something out the ordinary, dealin' with temples and ancient times and whatnot. But so far, can't say my boys have heard much.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''No trinkets or artefacts being moved through your... shadow market?''
*'''Hickey:''' ''Nothin' new, couple ill-gotten weapons - some jewellery likely lifted from a living thing. But you said to look for talk of glows and hums and look out for strange sights, right? An' I ain't heard nothin' 'bout that.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Keep at it.''
*'''Hickey:''' ''Oh I will – you've done me a great service mister, and I fully intend to repay my debt, thricefold, if it pleases.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Thank you, Thomas.''
*'''Hickey:''' ''Place to sleep and meal to eat is thanks enough. Don't you worry, I'll get you sorted soon.''

===Benjamin Church===
*'''Haytham:''' ''So a question for you: why medicine?''
*'''[[Benjamin Church|Church]]:''' ''I'm supposed to tell you I care for my fellow man right? That I chose this path because it allows me to accomplish a greater good?''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Are these things not true?''
*'''Church:''' ''Perhaps. But that's not what guided me. No, for me it was a less abstract thing: I like money.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''There are other paths to fortune.''
*'''Church:''' ''Aye, but what better ware to peddle than life? Nothing else is as precious, nor so desperately craved. And no price is too great for the man or woman who fears an abrupt and permanent end.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Your words are cruel, Benjamin.''
*'''Church:''' ''But true as well.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''You took an oath to help people, did you not?''
*'''Church:''' ''I abide by the oath, which makes no mention of price. I merely require compensation – fair compensation – for my services.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''And if they lack the required fund?''
*'''Church:''' ''Then there are others who will serve them. Does a baker grant free bread to a beggar? Does the tailor offer a dress to the woman who cannot afford to pay? No: why should I?''
*'''Haytham:''' ''You said it yourself, nothing is more precious than life.''
*'''Church:''' ''Indeed: all the more reason one should ensure one has the means to preserve it.''

===John Pitcairn===
*'''[[John Pitcairn|Pitcairn]]:''' ''If I may, I was curious about your past with [[Edward Braddock|Braddock]]. You two clearly have a history.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Edward was one of us, upon a time: I considered him a close friend. He was brave and bold in ways few men are. But everything changed at the {{Wiki|Siege of Bergen op Zoom (1747)|siege of Bergen op Zoom}}. We had lost the fortress to the French, and were in the midst of egress. There was a skiff hidden at the port that we planned to make our escape. As we drew near, a young man and his family came upon us, begging for safe passage. I consented, but Edward refused. The young man called him craven... so Edward killed him and all the rest... even the children. To this day I do not know why. Was this the first time he'd struck out? Or had I simply never seen it before? Either way, things were never the same after that. We campaigned together a few more times, but each outing was more disturbing than the last. He killed and killed; enemy or ally, civilian or soldier, guilty or innocent, it mattered not. If he perceived one to be an obstacle, they died. He maintained violence was a more efficient solution: it became his mantra, and it broke my heart.''
*'''Pitcairn:''' ''I had no idea.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''He hides it well, and intimidates into silence any who might discover him. Those who persist, have tendency to find... misfortune.''
*'''Pitcairn:''' ''We should stop him.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''I suppose you're right, but I maintain a foolish hope he might yet be saved and brought back round to reason. I know, I know, it's a silly thing, to believe one so drenched in death might suddenly change.''
*'''Pitcairn:''' ''I'm sorry to have brought this up: it was not my intent to sour you.''
*'''Haytham:''' ''Nonsense! We are brothers now: there should be no secrets between us.''

==Ratonhnhaké:ton==
===Samuel Adams===
After attending the Second [[Continental Congress]] on 16 June 1776, Ratonhnhaké:ton spoke with [[Samuel Adams]].
*'''Adams:''' ''Still here, are you?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I was just wondering... What happens now?''
*'''Adams:''' ''There's quite a lot to do. [[George Washington|Commander Washington]] must determine when and where we'll strike next. And we need to get to work on our message.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Message?''
*'''Adams:''' ''We must contact the broadsheets at once – ensure it's clear to everyone that it was the Loyalists who fired the first in Lexington.''
*'''Connor:''' ''But no one knows who fired first...''
*'''Adams:''' ''Which is exactly why we must spread the news quickly. We'll determine public opinion.''
*'''Connor:''' ''This seems... dishonest.''
*'''Adams:''' ''Perhaps. But so what? People must believe we acted in self-defense. Else, we've committed treason.''
*'''Connor:''' ''But you have.''
*'''Adams:''' ''Better to bow and scrape before a tyrant then? Is that what you suggest?''
*'''Connor:''' ''No of course not. No one should be denied freedom. And yet... To change the truth... It seems a dangerous road to travel.''
*'''Adams:''' ''Understand, Connor, this is a war fought not just on the battlefield, but within hearts and minds as well. There's nothing wrong with a bit of theater – especially if it saves lives.''

===George Washington===
Connor met with [[George Washington]] at the encampment at [[Valley Forge]].
*'''Connor:''' ''Commander?''
*'''Washington:''' ''I have failed them, Connor. Only look around to know my words are true. This revolution once seemed a righteous thing. Our cause pure and just. We asked only for what all people deserve: liberty, equality, and respect. The Empire should have embraced us. Instead they pushed for war – a war, it seems, they are now destined to win. I dared to dream of better things. Behold what it has wrought.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Such dark thoughts will cripple a man. But only if he lets them. Look again. Out there stand men and women determined to be free. Such a struggle is rarely easy, and never without sacrifice. I have often asked myself a thousand times if I would not be happier back amongst my people, living a quieter, simpler life. But if I abandoned my cause – if you abandoned yours, Commander – who would take our places? And what would become of the people who rely upon us?''
*'''Washington:''' ''It isn't right that they should suffer when I do not. If the ground must be their mattress, so too will it be mine.''
*'''Connor:''' ''And what about the storm?''
*'''Washington:''' ''If I can't take a stand against some snow, then there really is no hope for us.''

Not long afterwards, Connor spoke with Washington once more.
*'''Washington:''' ''What news do you bring me?''
*'''Connor:''' ''No news, Commander. I was merely curious how your assistants were faring.''
*'''Washington:''' ''Without them we would be lost. It's as simple as that. With [[Marquis de Lafayette|Lafayette]] drilling our men, it's possible our next engagement will not be one sided. Have you had the opportunity to meet [[Casimir Pulaski]]?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I have not.''
*'''Washington:''' ''Unfortunate. He's another of these soldiers we've hired from overseas. A Polish man capable of fighting on [[Horses|horseback]] the likes of which I have never seen. I intend to name him Commander of the Horse and when spring comes and the battles resume, the [[British Army|Regulars]] will fear the charge of his [[Patriots|Patriot]] Cavalry.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I look forward to that day, Commander.''
*'''Washington:''' ''As do I, Connor. As do I.''

During spring in Valley Forge, Connor spoke to Washington about his strategy that year. Having met his father, Connor began to express skepticism about the commander's tactics.

After the war had ended, Connor came across George Washington at [[Bowling Green]].
*'''Washington:''' ''Connor.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Commander.''
*'''Washington:''' ''It's good to see you.''
*'''Connor:''' ''You have what you set out for. What will you do with it?''
*'''Washington:''' ''A fair question. But if truth be told, I do not know. Men with far greater minds than mine will build this country's foundation, a task I am simply not equipped for. Have you played bocce before? I'm really growing quite fond of it. I think I'll have a green built in {{Wiki|Mount Vernon}} when I return.''
*'''Connor:''' ''All that death and sacrifice and you mean to leave the important tasks to better men while you play games? I might have expected it.''
*'''Washington:''' ''Connor –''
*'''Connor:''' ''Whether you think you are worthy or capable of the task, after the things we've done to ensure this outcome, you should not have the luxury of peace.''

===Marquis de Lafayette===
Connor met with the Marquis de Lafayette at the encampment at Valley Forge during winter.
*'''Lafayette:''' ''Ah! Connor. What do you think of my work thus far?''
*'''Connor:''' ''The men are bolstered. Focused. It is good you have come.''
*'''Lafayette:''' ''You are too kind. Lord knows my journey was far from certain. The trials we suffered getting here were strange and many. I dressed as a woman, Connor, to evade British spies. Did you know that?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I did not. As a woman you say?''
*'''Lafayette:''' ''It is the truth. King George had already stopped our crossing once in Bordeaux, threatening to seize my newly purchased ship, La Victoire, and arrest me. But I was born stubborn and such a warning could not dissuade me. So we rode for Spain and bought passage aboard a ship there. George's spies had followed us every step of the way. Disguise was the only remaining option... mon Dieu.'' (My God.)
*'''Connor:''' ''No man can doubt your commitment and you are invaluable to the cause. You did what you needed to do. I am certain I would have done the same.''
*'''Lafayette:''' ''But of course you would! I expect nothing less!''

Connor met the Marquis de Lafayette again at Valley Forge.
*'''Lafayette:''' ''Monsieur'' (Mister) ''Connor. A pleasure as always. What brings you?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I wanted to ask you something: why is this revolution so important to you?''
*'''Lafayette:''' ''Hm. Since I decided to embark upon this adventure, through all the lords and merchants and soldiers I've spoken to, you are the first to ask me this. Have you ever been to France?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I have not.''
*'''Lafayette:''' ''One day, when all this is over, I will invite you to [[Paris]] to stay with me and my family. She is the most beautiful city in all the world, Connor, full of art and culture, women and wine. But she is sick on the inside, black and rotting. But here... here is something quite different. On the outside the colonies are dirty and dangerous, unforgiving and uncivilized. But on the inside they GLOW. And that is why I am here. To learn. I want to return home able to touch France's black heart and make it glow once more.''

===Kanen'tó:kon===
Connor met [[Kanen'tó:kon]] at [[Kanatahséton]] during his training with [[Achilles Davenport]].
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''Ratohnhaké:ton! I am glad for your visit.''
*'''Connor:''' ''How are things?''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''A good year. Our harvest was plentiful - our numbers swell - and the forest remains undisturbed.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am glad of it.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''And how are YOU, brother?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Kept busy by our enemies... But their power wanes. I am hopeful that the land will be free of their influence soon.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''I have kept your place inside the longhouse. It will be there for you when you are ready to come home.''

Connor met with Kanen'tó:kon again after William Johnson's death, where he informed his friend that incursions into their land had stopped.
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''It is good to see you, brother.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I trust the incursions have ended?''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''For now.''
*'''Connor:''' ''You seem troubled.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''What if they return? What if there are more? We should have listened to you. Then, we might be better prepared to deal with these threats.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Fear nothing, for I will watch over our people.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''But will it be enough?''

During the war, Kanen'tó:kon began to have doubts.
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''The seasons pass, but the threat lingers. When will we be free, brother?''
*'''Connor:''' ''It is not so simple, Kanen'tó:kon.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''You sound like the colonists.''
*'''Connor:''' ''What do you mean?''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''They are wise with words, using them to hide truth.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I hide nothing from you.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''Still... perhaps I should take up arms. Perhaps we all should.''
*'''Connor:''' ''No. That is not the way.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''You fight. Why not us?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I fight so that no one else needs to.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''But I fear we do, Ratonhnhaké:ton... For you are just one man.''

Connor met with Kanen'tó:kon again.
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''Tell me something. The other Kanien'kehá:ka side with the [[Loyalists]]. Our village alone commits to no one. And you seem to favor the Patriots.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I favor only freedom.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''They have come to us, you know... The men in red coats. Their commanders have offered to secure our borders in exchange for service.''
*'''Connor:''' ''You will make no such alliance.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''Then you would have us join the men in blue?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I would have you stay out of the conflict.''
*'''Kanen'tó:kon:''' ''You may wish for us to remain neutral... But I fear it cannot last.''

===Oiá:ner===
Connor met with [[Oiá:ner]] at Kanatahséton during his training, after Johnson's assassination.
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Ratohnhaké:ton? I hardly recognize you.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am sorry that I did not visit sooner. My time is taken up with study...''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Have you found what you seek, then?''
*'''Connor:''' ''It is too soon to know. But I am on the proper path.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Already, it is more than most.''
*'''Connor:''' ''But will it be enough?''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''That is something only you can answer.''

During the latter visit, Oiá:ner revealed Johnson's demise had left them more vulnerable as he was generally supportive of the natives. She also began having doubts about the village staying neutral in the war, but Connor encouraged her to continue standing apart from the [[Iroquois]] clans that joined the conflict.
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''It is good to see you, though I wish it was more often.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I trust all is well?''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Things have been peaceful since Johnson's passing. Although...''
*'''Connor:''' ''What is it?''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Some are concerned. He promised safety and security. With him gone, we are alone once more. And now, the other villages speak of aligning with the Loyalists.''
*'''Connor:''' ''That is their choice. Our people walk a different path.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Yes... For a very long time, we have stood apart from the Haudenosaunee. Apart from the Kanien'kehá:ka. Apart from all others, in fact. I will not abandon our duty, but some days I cannot help but question it.''
*'''Connor:''' ''There is a reason that we stand alone. It is natural to wonder... To worry. But we must stand strong. We must have faith.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Truly the world is turned around when it is I who question and you who comfort.''

During the war, she expressed concern whether Connor would finish his task.
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''You are returned to us! But not for long, I think?''
*'''Connor:''' ''My work is not yet done...''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''I wonder will it ever be? The symbol that you sought and found... It is a mark of courage and honor, yes. But it promises pain and loss as well.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I will bear such things gladly – if it means you are all kept safe.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''You must not forget to look after yourself from time to time...''
*'''Connor:''' ''When this is finished. When all are free. Then I will rest.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''I hope that day comes soon.''
*'''Connor:''' ''As do I.''

After Kanen'tó:kon's death, Connor informed Oiá:ner. Fearful, though unaware Connor was the one who had killed him, she suggested relocating the village.
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''What troubles you, Ratohnhaké:ton?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Kanen'tó:kon is dead.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''What happened?''
*'''Connor:''' ''He... I... I cannot say for certain...''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''There is talk amongst the other nations of moving west... Away from the war... Perhaps it is time we considered such a thing.''
*'''Connor:''' ''No. We stay. This is our home.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''But for how much longer? And at what cost?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I will make it safe.''
*'''Oiá:ner:''' ''Oh, my child... We cannot change what is to come. Though we might abandon this land... We will not abandon our ways. We carry home in our hearts.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Please. You must wait. A little more time is all I need...''

===Deborah Carter===
After recruiting her to the Assassin Order, Connor spoke with [[Deborah Carter]] in a tavern.
*'''Deborah:''' ''How do you do, Connor?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am alright. And you?''
*'''Deborah:''' ''It's nice to be a part of something. Until now I was sort of drifting about the neighborhood getting irate when I saw things unjust. Sometimes I'd intervene, other times I would come here. Now I feel like all my energy is pointed at something.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am grateful to have your help. How did you come to be... you?''
*'''Deborah:''' ''Ha! Funny question but I get your meaning. I was an orphan, pretty common around the ports with all the sailors and whores mucking about. I wanted to be out on my own so I did what I had to do. That's when I decided to pretend to be a boy. That worked for a time, until nature decided otherwise and it just became a bad joke. Folks around the borough still called me "Dobby" but the old codgers started leering and getting fresh. That's when I got tough. Took a good many shots to the face before I learned to defend myself properly but now I dare any man to come at me. They learn the price quick.''

Some time afterwards, Connor spoke with Dobby once more.
*'''Connor:''' ''Hello, Dobby.''
*'''Deborah:''' ''Connor. You look well.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I have been better.''
*'''Deborah:''' ''Do you ever sleep? I really don't know how you do it.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I try not to think about it.''
*'''Deborah:''' ''A strong man, stronger than any I've ever met. How is it a man like you has no wife?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I do not have the time to give a woman what she deserves. Perhaps when all this is over, I will be able to settle and have a family. I hope.''
*'''Deborah:''' ''Of all the lecherous and deceitful men out there who are fathers you'd be a godsend. But I suppose that's how it is, the good ones are too busy for it and the louts have nothing better to do. In any case, if you ever think it's time, make sure I get the first crack!''
*'''Connor:''' ''Hmm, I promise.''

===Stephane Chapheau===
After recruiting him to the Assassin Order, Connor spoke with [[Stephane Chapheau]] in a tavern.
*'''Connor:''' ''Stephane. How is your ale?''
*'''Stephane:''' ''Pisse'' (Piss), ''but it gets the job done – my father would be disgusted – but after a day's work with you a man needs to unwind. I would prefer a nice bottle of wine but these Colonies lack refinement.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Your father?''
*'''Stephane:''' ''Mon père'' (My dad). ''He was a great man. A cook in the French Army during the [[French and Indian War|Seven Years War]]. He marched all across the white North, feeding [[Louis-Joseph de Montcalm]] and his officers. Cooking them feasts from sticks and berries. When the Commander-in-Chief opted for open conflict instead of manning the battlements of [[Quebec]], every man was called to arms, including my father. He died on the field. But I'm told he fought ferociously. It matters little. He's gone now.''
*'''Connor:''' ''He would be proud of you.''
*'''Stephane:''' ''This is my one hope – that he smiles upon the choices I've made.''

Some time afterwards, Connor spoke with Stephane once more.
*'''Stephane:''' ''Connor! Do you have time to sit?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I do.''
*'''Stephane:''' ''Good! I have been meaning to ask you, how did you come to all this?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I did not ask for it, but I feel it was meant to happen. I was just a boy when I met Achilles. He made me a warrior.''
*'''Stephane:''' ''That easy? I miss the kitchen if you can believe it. I had more control in that world than I ever will in the one we inhabit. But more people get to taste the fruit of my labor in this line of work and for that I am satisfied.''
*'''Connor:''' ''We may change things yet, if we press on.''
*'''Stephane:''' ''Frenchmen from the North never grow weary, just ask the women! Ha!''

===Jamie Colley===
After recruiting him to the Assassin Order, Connor spoke with [[Jamie Colley]] in a tavern.
*'''Connor:''' ''Thirsty I take it?''
*'''Jamie:''' ''What's wrong with taking a draught or two when the time is right?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Nothing, Jamie, nothing.''
*'''Jamie:''' ''Then why don't you join me then?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Not right now, maybe later.''
*'''Jamie:''' ''I suppose you got important business to attend to. I understand. Don't worry about me though, I can handle my booze. If you need me, I'll be there, Connor.''

Some time afterwards, Connor spoke with Jamie once more.
*'''Jamie:''' ''Hey Connor.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Taking it easy today?''
*'''Jamie:''' ''Things got a little out of hand the last time you saw me. Keeping an even keel.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Good. Where are you from?''
*'''Jamie:''' ''Here. Born and raised but I'm a mutt if that's what you're really asking. Think I even got a little of the Far East in my blood. That's what my father said, wherever that bastard got off to.''
*'''Connor:''' ''What about your mother?''
*'''Jamie:''' ''She's down south. Haven't seen her in five years or so. She works on a plantation – keeping care of the slaves. Pff. Slaves. That's why I left. Can't support that business. Owning a human isn't something any man should do. She doesn't agree so I leave her to it. I make my life up here now. I'm an Assassin. This is my family.''

===Duncan Little===
After recruiting him to the Assassin Order, Connor spoke with [[Duncan Little]] in a tavern.
*'''Duncan:''' ''Oi, lad! How's it going then?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am well. And you?''
*'''Duncan:''' ''Oh, can't complain. There was something I've been meaning to tell you... I met your Da. It was a long time ago in London. I was just a boy – well, I didn't meet him really, just saw him do a fella in at the London Opera House. I was sitting in the balcony with [[Miko|an uncle]] of mine. Went to have a piss and when I came back, there's your Da. Dashing as they come, he was shirt, jacket immaculate. My uncle was just slumped there. Looked like he was sleeping. But I knew better even if I was a child. Your Da locked eyes on me. And I don't think I've ever been so frightened as I was in that instant. It wasn't a fear that he was going to cause me pain, it was a sense that he saw right through me – into my heart – and he'd crush it if it pleased him. But he didn't. He just raised his finger to his lips and gestured for my silence. I complied. Then he was gone.''
*'''Connor:''' ''That must have been in the days before his betrayal was made public. He would have sailed for the Colonies not long after. I'm astonished that you were actually there.''
*'''Duncan:''' ''You can imagine my surprise when I saw his face. Took me a while to piece it together but... there you have it. Thought you'd like to know.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Thank you.''

Some time afterwards, Connor spoke with Duncan once more.
*'''Connor:''' ''How are you faring?''
*'''Duncan:''' ''Not bad. Not bad. All this reminds me of being back in the Old Country. Fightin' for land, fightin' for the right to see God my way. Didn't take long before I realized the fight was futile and stepped aboard a ship bound for the Colonies. People over there are so wrapped up in HOW you perceive the Lord they forget we're all part of his flock. Stories change, Connor. The way people tell them evolves. It's no different in the Bible and I believe that's the real root of all the strife back home. But nobody wants to listen to me – if you don't see it their way, you're a heathen. But I feel we're honestly making a difference here. That our presence is felt if not appreciated by all. Ah! And it makes me sleep easy at night and that's all a man can ask for really.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I would like to visit your home country some day.''
*'''Duncan:''' ''Oh, would you now? You'd turn a head or two on the [[Ireland|Emerald Isle]], I'll tell you that. Maybe one day, I'll muster up the courage, go back and I'll bring you with me – would be good for a laugh at any rate!''

===Clipper Wilkinson===
After recruiting him to the Assassin Order, Connor spoke with [[Clipper Wilkinson]] in a tavern.
*'''Connor:''' ''You do not partake?''
*'''Clipper:''' ''No, sir. I need to stay sharp in case you call upon my rifle. Spirits do me in right quick. Drank half a flask of rum out in the bush with my brothers a few years back. Went for a run in the buff before I found myself rolling around in deer skat being sick all over. I don't want to go there again. No thank you.''
*'''Connor:''' ''A smart choice given the circumstances.''
*'''Clipper:''' ''I want to fight like you someday.''
*'''Connor:''' ''You have everything it takes to be a great Assassin.''
*'''Clipper:''' ''That means something coming from you.''

Some time afterwards, Connor spoke with Clipper once more.
*'''Connor:''' ''Where did you learn to shoot like you do?''
*'''Clipper:''' ''Ranging with my dad and brothers in [[Virginia]] country. My family's been surveying and prospecting out there since my grand-pappy.''
*'''Connor:''' ''How did you end up here?''
*'''Clipper:''' ''I'm the youngest of four brothers. I was always going to be a runner-up with them so I set off alone to do my own business. Out west of Ohio's territory that no man of the Colonies' ever trodden. Figured I could find contracts out of [[New York City|New York]]. Then the war started.''
*'''Connor:''' ''And you sided with the Patriots.''
*'''Clipper:''' ''Not really. My family's for the King. I just don't like seeing boys forced to fight against their will is all. But I know that I want to be free, for all to be free. If that means I'm a Patriot, I guess I am.''
*'''Connor:''' ''You are an Assassin. Nothing else.''
*'''Clipper:''' ''That I am. And proud of it.''

===Jacob Zenger===
After recruiting him to the Assassin Order, Connor spoke with [[Jacob Zenger]] in a tavern.
*'''Jacob:''' ''Ah! Connor! Sit! Sit!''
*'''Connor:''' ''How are you Jacob?''
*'''Jacob:''' ''Missing the beer gardens back home – but I am well.''
*'''Connor:''' ''How did you arrive in the colonies?''
*'''Jacob:''' ''Like most other men like me. The Army. I was a [[Jägers|Hessian]] for a time. It was a good job while I had it. I only felt it was time for something different once I arrived. Not long after I am meeting you so it seems my feeling was useful, no?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Certainly.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''I am hoping to send for my family when the time is right. But we are fighting a war of our own, and I will not put them at risk.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Hopefully things will die down soon.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''No rush, Connor. I am in their hearts, and they are in mine.''

Some time afterwards, Connor spoke with Jacob once more.
*'''Jacob:''' ''I received a letter from home.''
*'''Connor:''' ''What news?''
*'''Jacob:''' ''My son is the strongest boy in our village. Standing tall and proud. My heart grows heavy for them, now and my patience wanes for bringing them across the ocean. I have sent money for passage. War or no war.''
*'''Connor:''' ''We will keep them safe from the fighting when they arrive.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''I am having no doubts about this. My worry is now of the crossing itself. Many miles overland to a port in France. There they must be purchasing safe passage aboard a ship coming to the colonies. Then they must brave the voyage itself. Many risks.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Your son can lead them, you said yourself he is strong and capable.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''My son? Ha! No matter how strong he grows he will never be as strong as my wife. Wihelmina is the most able person I have ever met – else I would not have left them. It is more matters of fortune that trouble me. Storms, pirates.''
*'''Connor:''' ''These are things none can control, but I am sure if pirates try and take their ship, Wihelmina and your boy will make the brigands rue their decision.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''Yes! Yes, you are right!''

===Homestead residents===
After inviting [[Godfrey]] and [[Terry]] to live on the Homestead, Connor introduced himself to their wives [[Catherine]] and [[Diana]].
*'''Catherine:''' ''You must be Connor! We've been raring to finally meet you! My name's Catherine and this is Diana. We're the wives of those two blockheads who cut trees.''
*'''Diana:''' ''Nice to meet you! We've heard so much of you from the boys. Glad to finally put a face to the name.''
*'''Connor:''' ''The pleasure is mine.''
*'''Catherine:''' ''We were just discussing how nice this bit of territory is, on a river with nobody upstream. I won't lie, Godfrey's letter had me a little worried but now that we're here and settled, I must say I'm rather happy.''
*'''Diana:''' ''They had us on this plot north of Champlain that was a tangle of rock and bramble. Horrible place. It's a real treat to be able to walk up the hill and take in the ocean.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Your husbands must keep you busy.''
*'''Catherine:''' ''Ha! Nothing we can't handle, Connor. The boys think they run the show, but the real bosses are standing right in front of you.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I do not doubt it.''

After rescuing [[Prudence]] from a [[Bears|bear]], Connor spoke to her and [[Warren]].
*'''Warren:''' ''Hello, Connor.''
*'''Prudence:''' ''Hello.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Is something the matter?''
*'''Warren:''' ''No, nothing that need worry you.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I would not pry, but please know that if there was anything I could do to help, I would.''
*'''Prudence:''' ''It's alright. Connor already knows half of it. As you know, we have been trying to have a child, Connor. For a long time. Thus far we've not been blessed, even once. It takes its toll after a time.''
*'''Connor:''' ''You must not force such things. Nature will grant you with a young one when the time is right.''
*'''Warren:''' ''We hope you're right, Connor. At the very least, we are at peace here.''

After [[Room at the Inn|the construction]] of [[Oliver]] and [[Corrine]]'s inn, Connor checked to see if they were happy.
*'''Oliver:''' ''...delicious, love. Connor! What brings you?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I was passing by and thought I would stop in and see how you were faring.''
*'''Oliver:''' ''That's nice of you. Well, my boy, we are faring very well.''
*'''Corrine:''' ''Between those who live here, the sailors coming and going from the pier, not to mention the travelers, our beds are always full and our taps are always flowing.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am pleased things have worked out for you here.''
*'''Oliver:''' ''As are we, Connor. I'd be lying if I told you we weren't worried when we were ousted from our old place, but the Lord works in mysterious ways.''
Connor greeted Terry and Godfrey on his way there to see if they were still at peace with each other.
*'''Connor:''' ''Gentlemen. You seem to be getting along.''
*'''Terry:''' ''Oh aye. We're just on our way to have an ale. You might have noticed, I've got a bit of a temper problem. Diana's fine, the spuds are fine. We've got a good thing going here. I'm just happy I didn't hurt ol' Godfrey. Wouldn't have been able to forgive myself.''
*'''Godfrey:''' ''So am I, Terry. So grateful you didn't poke me with your tiny fists.''
*'''Terry:''' ''Don't rile me up!''
*'''Godfrey:''' ''Alright, alright. Take it easy.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am happy things are well again.''

After collecting wild flowers for [[Maurice|Norris]] to court [[Myriam]] with, Connor spoke with him and realized that to court someone meant to romance them.
*'''Norris:''' ''Hello, Connor.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Norris. How are you?''
*'''Norris:''' ''Alright. Remember we talked about Myriam?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I do. And the cougar she felled.''
*'''Norris:''' ''One shot. Confident and precise. Incroyable. (Incredible.) I like her.''
*'''Connor:''' ''She is a good friend, we all do.''
*'''Norris:''' ''Not like that, Connor.''
*'''Connor:''' '' Oh. OH! Well, good for you!''
*'''Norris:''' ''Only good for me if she likes me back. She is a strong woman. An independent woman. I admire her.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I wish you well in your quest, Norris.''

Connor spoke to Achilles, who was examining his [[Manor Mysteries, Part 1|old robes]] that he had retrieved for him.
*'''Connor:''' ''Remembering old times, Achilles?''
*'''Achilles:''' ''Connor. Oh. Yes, I suppose I was. Seems like so long ago.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Who was the Assassin this belonged to?''
*'''Achilles:''' ''Originally, it was [[John de la Tour]]'s, the first Assassin in the Colonies. Then it was mine for a time. The things I've done wearing that armor... Some are uplifting to recall, others - very painful indeed. One day I will hand it over to you, Connor. It is your duty to keep it. It serves as a reminder for how long our brotherhood has really been here. How long we've been protecting the people of the land. But here I am going on again, I know you appreciate what it is.''

After [[Pig Herder|returning from Boston]], Warren expressed gratitude to Connor about his new life and the child on the way.
*'''Warren:''' ''Dr. White called upon us earlier! A very unexpected surprise. One that has put both Prudence and I at ease.''
*'''Connor:''' ''The village is growing and a healer's services will benefit all.''
*'''Warren:''' ''Indeed! It's hard to explain how I am feeling right now. My wife is resting healthy and safe, full with child in our warm home. The community is kind and attentive, and the land is rich. It was not so long ago that such a life was only a dream for us, Connor.''
*'''Connor:''' ''All people deserve to feel safe and free.''
*'''Warren:''' ''Hopefully, a day will come when all men of the Colonies will share your perspective. But it will be a long, hard road, that much is certain.''

Following the [[Get Me a Doctor!|birth of Hunter]], Connor found Warren, Prudence and [[Lyle White]] reminiscing at the farm about the day of his birth.
*'''Warren:''' ''Smoke, Connor?''
*'''Connor:''' ''No, thank you.''
*'''Lyle:''' ''We were just recalling the eventful day of little Hunter's birth.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I am not sure I have ever been so anxious.''
*'''Lyle:''' ''Ha!''
*'''Warren:''' ''I barely remember a thing up until the moment I heard him cry. Then, it all slows down and I recall every little detail. From Hunter's wailing face, to Prudence's teary eyes filled with pure joy, to the smell of the mud and the leaves. I've never been as happy as I was in that instant.''
*'''Lyle:''' ''Things in this house sound right.''

After Connor [[Norris Tries Again|helped Norris again]] with romantic matters, they spoke about their names. Norris revealed that his name was Maurice, but since everyone mispronounced it, he grew tired of correcting them.
*'''Connor:''' ''Norris! How is the mine? Is there anything worth your time down there?''
*'''Norris:''' ''Most definitely. Copper, Connor. And a healthy amount of it.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Excellent. I am glad. I have been meaning to ask, is Norris a common French name?''
*'''Norris:''' ''My real name is not Norris. It's Maurice.''
*'''Connor:''' ''But you told me...''
*'''Norris:''' ''I did. When I arrived in Boston, people started calling me Norris and I got tired of correcting them all the time. Just before we met I had been talking with that lady in the pub, she said she liked my name "Norris". I decided to stick with it.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Would you prefer I called you by your real name?''
*'''Norris:''' ''Nah. Everybody here knows me as Norris, Myriam included. Names can change but people stay the same, isn't that right, Connor?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Very true.''

After Dr. White approached Connor for help with his reputation and the confrontation with the British scouts, Connor spoke to Prudence, Diana and [[Ellen]] outside the inn about their children, and they expressed gratitude towards him for bringing White to the Homestead.
*'''Diana:''' ''Not a day goes by that one of the boys doesn't hurt himself. I'll get some rest with the doctor around, sending the boys his way.''
*'''Ellen:''' ''I know what you mean. Maria is all over the property like a mad-girl. Norris found her in his MINE yesterday with a great big gash in her knee. That girl, I tell you.''
*'''Connor:''' ''It sounds like you all have your hands full.''
*'''Diana:''' ''You could say that!''
*'''Prudence:''' ''Having the doctor here is great for all of us, Connor. Thank you for finding him and bringing him here.''
*'''Connor:''' ''He came here because of you. I only brought him the offer.''

After [[Thousand-Pound Idea|obtaining Lance's plans]] from France, Connor listened to him elaborate on the newly invented folding chair.
*'''Lance:''' ''Connor! Great timing. I was just getting underway on something that might be of interest to you.''
*'''Connor:''' ''What is that?''
*'''Lance:''' ''Those plans you retrieved for me. And believe you me, they were worth all the fuss. A FOLDING chair.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I do not follow you.''
*'''Lance:''' ''It's a chair. That FOLDS, Connor. You can fold them right up and stack them. Store them. Transport them. I could have a thousand chairs in my back room! It's simple brilliance and I am going to make a fortune.''
*'''Connor:''' ''A folding chair. Well, I wish you the best with it.''
*'''Lance:''' ''You'll see, Connor. You'll see.''

Later, Lance came to the Davenport manor and explained that the plans also contained [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s [[Flying Machine]]. They built and tested it, but it did not work, due to their limited knowledge on the invention.
*'''Lance:''' ''Connor! I'm so glad you're here. The plans I bought. They weren't JUST a folding chair, oh no. They had something else with them, something quite astonishing. A flying machine designed by Leonardo Da Vinci himself! And I built it! Ha! You can be the first to try it if you like! You'll be able to fly! Soar like an eagle!''
*'''Connor:''' ''And it works?''
*'''Lance:''' ''Da Vinci was one of the greatest minds in human history! As brilliant a man as any there has ever been. You can be CERTAIN it works! Would you like to try it?''
*'''Connor:''' ''Yes. Such a device would certainly prove useful.''

When Connor [[Manor Mysteries, Part 2|found the painting]] of Achilles' family in New York, Achilles explained to him that he was reluctant to open the package and look at it since the memories were too painful.
*'''Connor:''' ''What is it, Old Man?''
*'''Achilles:''' ''Just an old painting.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I have gathered that much. Why will you not open it?''
*'''Achilles:''' ''It is something close to me. Something that I can't bare to look at just yet. Perhaps someday I will muster up the courage to gaze upon it again, but not yet.''

After helping White and Diana [[Wait Times|tend to the injured]] after the [[Battle of the Chesapeake]], Connor learned that she had become Dr. White's apprentice.
*'''Lyle:''' ''Good day, Connor.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Hello, Dr. White. Diana.''
*'''Diana:''' ''Hello there, Connor.''
*'''Lyle:''' ''Diana and I were just having a look over our equipment and facilities, they've seen a great deal of use over the last few days.''
*'''Connor:''' ''So things have turned for the better?''
*'''Lyle:''' ''Better than it ever was in Boston. I was missing my apprentice when things first exploded but now I have Diana. She is better than he was in every respect.''
*'''Connor:''' ''And are you happy, Diana?''
*'''Diana:''' ''I never thought this would be my path but now that I'm here, I admit it feels right.''

He then spoke with Lyle and Lance at the tavern, who both joked about being bachelors and then asked Connor why he had no wife.
*'''Lance:''' ''One day, doc. One day. You'll find one too. She'll come wandering into the village and light up your life. Mark my words. I'm telling you. I have a sense for these things.''
*'''Lyle:''' ''Might be, might be. Ahoy, Connor! Look at us, three bachelors, waiting for love or waiting for a drink, whatever comes first. Drink wins!''
*'''Lance:''' ''Women'll be lining up for you, doc! I'm telling you! Ladies love a healer. It's me that's doomed. Who wants to marry a woodworker, eh? Who? Nobody is who.''
*'''Lyle:''' ''Hogwash! You brought the folding chair to the Americas! You're a pioneer! An entrepreneur! Women appreciate a man with vision. Ha ha ha!''
*'''Lance:''' ''What about you, Connor? How is it a man like you has no wife?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I would not be a good husband. I have not the time to give. One day, perhaps.''

After [[Legacy|Achilles' funeral]], Connor spoke to Father [[Timothy]] at the church, thanking him for presiding over the service.
*'''Timothy:'' '''Good day, Connor. How are you faring?''
*'''Connor:''' ''I will honor him, in time. I just hope that what I do is enough. ''
*'''Timothy:''' ''If anybody is capable of honoring a man the likes of Achilles, it's you, Connor.''
*'''Connor:''' ''How is your church?''
*'''Timothy:''' ''It's everything I could have wanted and more. The people here are hard-working and appreciative of my services. They contribute more than most I've seen. I understand our God is not for you, but the community is strong when we gather within these walls. That much, you should see.''
*'''Connor:''' ''I will pass through one of these days.''

'''Palermo''' is a city in southern [[Italy]], capital of both the autonomous island region of [[wikipedia:Sicily|Sicily]] and the Province of Palermo. During the [[Renaissance]], the [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]] waged a war for control of the city.

Originally ruled over by the native Italic peoples and then the ancient Greeks, the island of Sicily (and Palermo within it) eventually came under Roman, Arabian, [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]], Noman, Imperial, French, Spanish and finally Italian rule. During the events of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]], ''the city was part of the Spanish Crown of Aragon, and the Templars and Assassins contended over its control.

{{WP-REAL|Civilian}}
[[File:Flying Machine 2.0 3.png|thumb|250px|Ezio Auditore blending with a crowd of civilians]]
'''Civilians''' are non-affiliated [[Humans|human]] members of a population, who could be found abundantly in cities, and more scarcely in the countryside.

They are generally unaware of the existence of either [[Templars]] or the [[Assassins]], or of the on-going [[Assassin-Templar War|conflict]] between the two Orders.

==History==
===Middle Ages===
[[File:AC1 Civilians.png|thumb|250px|Altaïr by a group of civilians in Acre]]
Civilians were the denizens of the cities and [[Kingdom|countryside]] of the Holy Land, and they generally posed no threat, though certain individuals reacted aggressively towards an Assassin's presence and actions.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

If a fight occurred, they would watch closely, make comments on those who [[Freerunning|free-ran]] throughout the city, gasped when anyone was killed, and collectively fled from a scene of bloodshed. They also acted as both a shield and a hindrance for Assassins, on the occasions that they needed to flee from their enemies.

Whenever they ran into a large group of civilians whilst sprinting, an Assassin would lose their balance and fall onto the ground, offending those around them. However, if the Assassin shoved their way through a crowd, they could maintain their running momentum, though it would be slower, in order to effectively barge through the civilians.<ref name="AC"/>

In accordance with the first tenet of their Creed, Assassins would neither kill nor harm civilians, seeing them as innocents.<ref name="AC"/>

===Renaissance===
[[File:AC2 Civilians.png|thumb|250px|left|Several civilians in Florence]]
Citizens during the [[Renaissance]] period behaved in a similar manner to those during the High Middle Ages, though they offered Assassins an added capability, since [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] was also able to [[Blending|blend]] within all groups of civilians, as opposed to the Assassins of the [[Third Crusade]] like [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], who could only hide among [[scholars]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

Ezio also possessed the ability to throw florins onto the ground, causing a mob of civilians to crowd around him and excitedly pick up the coins. For Assassins, this served as a common means of distracting enemy guards, and entering restricted areas.<ref name="AC2"/> In [[Constantinople]], Ezio learned how to use [[Gold bombs|pyrite coin bombs]], and would throw them to the ground while being chased by [[guards]], attracting civilians that would form a blockade and behave aggressively to his pursuers.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

===Golden Age of Piracy===
[[Edward Kenway]] could not directly kill citizens, although they could be caught in the crossfire of firearms. Edward could blend with any group of civilians in order to hide from guards. Similar to Ezio, Edward could throw Reales onto the ground, causing civilians to quickly pick them up, allowing Edward to distract guards or create obstacles if he was being chased.

Dancers and drunken pirates would come to Edward's aid, without the need of payment, if he engaged in combat near them. Dancers would grab the arms of the soldiers, hindering them. Drunken pirates would help kill the guards using the heavy axes they carried.

===American Revolution===
[[File:ACIII-TriptoBoston 10.png|thumb|250px|Civilians gathering in Boston]]
The citizens of the early American colonies are represented in a wider demographic than previous. Small children and domestic animals were a common sight.

Colonial civilians could not be directly attacked, though they could still be harmed in the crossfire of ranged combat. [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] could blend with any pair of civilians, even if the civilians were not part of a larger group.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

==Archetypes==
Several archetypes of citizens were intermixed with the populace, each bringing a unique form of interaction with their surroundings.

===Beggars===
[[File:AC1 Beggar.png|thumb|250px|left|A beggar in Acre harassing Altaïr]]
In the cities of [[Acre]], [[Damascus]], and [[Jerusalem]], desperate female beggars could be found along the streets, asking for money and claiming that their families were seriously ill and destitute.<ref name="AC"/>

They would often approach an Assassin and persistently run into their path until they either ignored them for long enough, ran from them, or attacked them. Should the Assassin attempt to climb a building to escape their nagging, the beggars would often throw rocks at them and yell their disappointment.

If the Assassin instead chose to draw any of their weapons or attacked the beggars, they would run away screaming and no longer bother them. Accompanying this, beggars could also alert the Assassin's targets of their approach, if threatened or hit.<ref name="AC"/>

In the Renaissance, beggars did appear in the [[Italy|Italian]] regions of [[Romagna]] and [[Tuscany]], but they did not chase or harass any passing people for money. They usually only leaned or sat against alleyway walls, with one hand extended. Should an Assassin throw money to them, they would pick it all up, and proceed to walk away.<ref name="AC2"/>

The cities of [[Rome]] and Constantinople featured the calmer beggars of the previously visited Italian cities, as well as the persistent beggars of the High Middle Ages. The latter of these were always female, came in groups of three, and usually could only be found in the parts of the city still under [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] influence.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> In Constantinople, beggars were always present in a district, regardless of whether [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]] or [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] controlled the area.<ref name="Revelations"/>

===Carriers===
[[File:AC1 Jar Carriers.png|thumb|250px|Altaïr passing by a group of jar carriers]]
In the three cities visited by the Assassins of the High Middle Ages, certain civilians could be found walking around carrying heavy objects. When Assassins bumped into them, they would drop their item and begin to scold them openly, causing a commotion that could potentially disrupt the Assassin's current mission or assassination. To avoid a scene, they could gently push them aside as they passed, not startling the civilian and keeping their object intact.<ref name="AC"/>

Carriers came in two variations, jar carriers and box carriers. Jar carriers were women holding a large clay jar on their heads, while box carriers were men holding a crate close to their chest. If an Assassin knocked either of these civilians over, nearby guards would exclaim a warning, and if they repeated their actions, the guards would attack.<ref name="AC"/>

[[File:AC2 Civilian Box Carrier.png|left|thumb|250px|A box carrier in Florence]]
During the Renaissance, box carriers and goat carriers could be found. They were seen walking the streets, carrying their merchandise from shop to shop. If an Assassin bumped into one or rode a [[Horses|horse]] too close to them, the carrier would drop their box, breaking it and causing a great deal of commotion, and any guards that witnessed the action would often approach and push the Assassin around in warning.<ref name="AC2"/>

Even in the event that a box carrier be the one to walk into the Assassin, they would drop whatever they were carrying and still scold the Assassin for the fault.<ref name="AC2"/> In Constantinople, two more variations appeared, being bread and drink carriers. The two types held trays for bread or bottles of drinks, and they would react the same way as box carriers if an Assassin bumped into one.<ref name="Revelations"/> In Colonial America, several types of carriers could be seen, wearing basket bags, carrying buckets or holding crates and barrels.<ref name="AC3"/>

===Scholars===
{{Main|Scholars}}
[[File:AC1 Altair blending with Scholars.png|thumb|250px|Altaïr among a group of scholars]]
Scholars were holy men who walked slowly and silently through the three cities of the Holy Land. As they possessed robes similar to a scholar, Assassins could blend in with a group of them to escape guards, though it would only work with a group, and not with a single scholar.<ref name="AC"/> During Altaïr's visit to [[Alep]], individual scholars could be found walking around, but Altaïr could not blend with them.<ref name="Chronicles">''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]''</ref>

Though scholars were not present during the Renaissance, monks were comparatively similar in appearance to them. Their strategic importance was severely diminished, however, as Ezio was able to blend with any group of civilians.<ref name="AC2" />

===Thugs===
{{Main|Thugs}}
[[File:AC1 Altair Thug Pickpocket.png|left|thumb|250px|Altaïr pickpocketing a thug]]
Thugs were the only civilians in the High Middle Ages that would fight Altaïr, usually if they found him engaged in a [[Fists|fistfight]] with an [[interrogation]] target, or if they caught him attempting to [[Pickpocketing|steal]] [[throwing knives]] from their pouches. In response, they would engage the Assassin in a brawl, but if Altaïr drew a weapon, the thugs would immediately flee. Conversely, if guards happened to be watching the fistfight and witnessed Altaïr draw a weapon to scare the thugs away, they would immediately attack.<ref name="AC"/>

Whilst thugs did not appear in any other period, Renaissance civilians would fight Ezio similarly to thugs, should they witness him pickpocketing from them. Unlike thugs, however, they were easily beaten in a fight, and the courageous citizens usually only attacked Ezio alone. Only during two events in [[Forlì]] did gangs of civilians engage Ezio in much the same way as thugs, and they proved to be more difficult to defeat.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Troublemakers===
[[File:AC1 Troublemaker.png|250px|thumb|A troublemaker shoving Altaïr away]]
During the High Middle Ages, the three major cities that Altaïr visited contained madmen and drunkards. They were usually found babbling and walking along back alleyways or docks.<ref name="AC"/>

When approached, the troublemaker would shove an Assassin violently, causing them to stumble, as well as potentially breaking their cover during an assassination. Troublemakers in Acre could also push an Assassin into the water, instantly causing [[Synchronization|desynchronization]] for [[Desmond Miles]] in the [[Animus]].<ref name="AC"/>

Similar to beggars, when an Assassin punched, grabbed or shoved a troublemaker, they would flee. Such an act would not arouse suspicion with any guards, but nearby thugs would start a fistfight if they were close by.<ref name="AC"/>

During the Renaissance, numerous drunkards located in the cities resembled those in the High Middle Ages; however, they did not act aggressively.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Vigilantes===
{{Main|Vigilantes}}
[[File:ACB Rome Vigilantes.png|thumb|left|250px|A group of vigilantes in Rome]]
Vigilantes were groups of brave, tough men that assisted an Assassin after they saved citizens in distress. During the Third Crusade, these troubled citizens were usually female, presumably the wives, daughters, mothers, or various other close relatives of the vigilantes in question.

To show their gratitude, when an Assassin ran past a group of vigilantes whilst they were being chased by guards, the men would grab ahold of the soldiers, delaying them and aiding the Assassin's escape.<ref name="AC"/>

They were particularly helpful for stopping assassination targets who fled from Altaïr, notably the Templars [[Talal]], [[Jubair al Hakim]], [[Sibrand]], and [[Abu'l Nuqoud]].<ref name="AC"/>

In Rome during the 16th century, vigilantes appeared in areas where Ezio destroyed [[Borgia Towers|Borgia towers]], acting in the same manner as vigilantes in the High Middle Ages, though they would often heckle any nearby guards.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

===Minstrels===
[[File:AC2 Minstrel.png|thumb|250px|A minstrel in Florence]]
Minstrels were performers who, during the Renaissance, could be found singing and playing their instruments in the streets. Lute players were most common, though minstrels with a variety of instruments could be seen in [[Venice]] during [[Carnevale]]. Should they catch sight of an Assassin, they would often run after them and block their way, before playing on their lutes and singing songs about the deeds accomplished by the Assassin.<ref name="AC2"/>

Similarly to beggars, they could break the Assassin's cover, as well as call the attention of nearby guards should an Assassin attack them. Though they could prove irritating, or disruptive during a potential assassination, throwing florins could easily appease them.<ref name="AC2"/>

Alternatively, the Assassin could intercept a minstrel by attacking them, stealing money from them (around 3 or 4 florins), or by running into them. All of these would make minstrels drop their instruments and run off, lamenting that the Assassin was not satisfied with their singing. Should the Assassin do this near to guards, they would suffer a slight increase in their [[Social Stealth|notoriety]].<ref name="AC2"/>

Minstrels were also found in Rome and resembled those in other cities, even singing the same songs, though they wore different colored clothes. When an Assassin stole from a minstrel, it caused them to drop their instrument, but it yielded no coins.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

In Constantinople, Ezio and the [[Turkish Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] encountered Italian minstrels preparing to perform at [[Topkapı Palace]], and subsequently beat them, before stealing their clothes for infiltration purposes.<ref name="Revelations"/>

===Pickpockets===
{{Main|Pickpocketing#Pickpockets|Pickpockets}}
[[File:Easy go 2.png|thumb|left|250px|A pickpocket stealing from Ezio in Rome]]
Pickpockets in the Renaissance era were [[thieves]] that attempted to steal an Assassin's florins. If the pickpocket was successful in robbing money, or if the Assassin was in the pickpocket's sight, they would attempt to escape by the use of free-running.<ref name="AC2"/>

However, pickpockets were also subject to the same rules on rooftops as the Assassins, and they would be shot at on sight by an alerted [[Archers|archer]], [[Crossbowmen|crossbowman]], or [[Arquebusiers|arquebusier]].<ref name="AC2"/><ref name="Brotherhood"/>

When an Assassin was pickpocketed, they could regain the money by chasing and tackling the pickpocket, or looting it from their corpse. In addition to the stolen money, an extra 500 florins could be gained, presumably from the pickpocket's previous victims.<ref name="AC2"/>

In Rome, pickpockets each carried one trade item that Ezio could use for the completion of [[shop quests]].<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

===Couriers===
{{Main|Borgia Messengers}}
[[File:ACB Borgia Messenger.png|thumb|250px|A typical Borgia messenger]]
Borgia messengers were couriers of the House of Borgia during the Renaissance, and they behaved in a similar manner to pickpockets, but did not steal from Assassins, and would flee upon catching sight of Ezio.<ref name="AC2"/>

They were adept free-runners, but again shared similarities to pickpockets in that they would be attacked by guards on the rooftops should they be seen. An Assassin could steal a sum of 1503 to 1505 florins from them, though killing a messenger would greatly increase notoriety.<ref name="AC2"/>

In Constantinople, [[Templar Tax Collectors|Templar tax collectors]] served the same function as Borgia messengers, and like their Italian counterparts, they would run away upon spotting Ezio. However, on killing a Templar tax collector, the Assassins would be made instantly aware to the Templars, potentially jeopardizing one of their [[Assassin Dens]].

During the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], and later the [[American Revolution]], couriers could be used to refill any depleted ammo, as well as a small supply of currency. If a courier were to catch sight of Edward Kenway or Ratonhnhaké:ton, they would run.

===Citizens in distress===
{{Main|Save Citizen}}
[[File:AC1 Save Citizen.png|left|250px|thumb|Altaïr defending a scholar]]
In the High Middle Ages, an Assassin could often discover citizens that required their attention within the Kingdom's three cities.

In these instances, they were often being harassed by guards for crimes they did not commit, and upon being rescued by the Assassin, they would tell their family or friends about the act of kindness. Subsequent to this, a group of scholars or vigilantes could be found in the area where the citizen had been rescued.<ref name="AC"/>

In Altaïr's visit to Alep, these citizens also thanked Altaïr for being rescued, but rewarded him with a monetary sum as opposed to potential assistance.<ref name="Chronicles"/>

[[File:People 5.png|thumb|250px|Ezio recruiting a rescued citizen]]
In Rome and Constantinople during the 16th century, an Assassin could save citizens that were being harassed by Templar guards.

Unlike those in the Third Crusade, many of them could be found openly committing acts of rebellion; these included engaging a group of guards in a [[Swords and maces|sword fight]], or holding a guard hostage as others attempted to rescue their comrade.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Should the Assassin come to their assistance, the citizen would join them in the duel, proving to be able fighters. Once saved, the civilians gave their lives to the Assassins' cause, becoming [[apprentices]] of the Order shortly thereafter.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Throughout the Caribbean during the 18th century, Edward Kenway could rescue pirates in distress. These pirates would join Edwards crew without hesitation. Crew members are essential part of boarding ships. Distressed pirates could be found almost anywhere in the Caribbean; floating on some flotsam after a shipwreck, marooned on an island. In the cities they could be seen at a public hanging, fighting with and being held captive by the city guards.

===Stalkers===
{{Main|Stalkers}}
[[File:ACR Stalker 1.png|thumb|left|250px|A stalker attacking Ezio]]
During Ezio Auditore's stay in Constantinople, some Byzantine Templars disguised themselves among the populace to hunt down and kill the Assassin. These civilians were known as Stalkers, and they typically wore outfits that disguised themselves as lower class members of society, as they attempted to stealthily sneak up on Ezio and stab him with a [[Short blades|short blade]].

Stalkers were rarely successful, and were usually killed by Ezio, who would turn their own daggers against them. In the chance that a stalker was successful, however, they would stab Ezio in the back, leaving him paralyzed for a few seconds and giving themselves the time to run off.<ref name="Revelations"/>

===Orphans===
[[File:AC3 Orphans.png|thumb|250px|A group of orphans harassing Ratonhnhaké:ton]]
During the American Revolution, groups of small children approached Haytham Kenway and Ratonhnhaké:ton, seeking attention. These children always approached in groups of three, and sought only to get the attention with their impromptu street performances. Any nearby civilians would cheer the orphans on, however guards would rudely disperse the children, should they cross paths.

Like other civilians, Orphans could be distracted by throwing them some money. However, unlike the beggars or minstrels, drawing a weapon did not scare them away. Unlike other civilians, an orphan could only be killed if they were in the path of enemy gunfire. Should it occur that an orphan be shot, a new orphan would automatically regenerate in their place.<ref name="AC3"/>

==Trivia==
*When using [[Eagle Vision]], civilians were not highlighted in any way. They were simply shown as a dull grey, being neither an ally nor an enemy.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', the social class of civilians could be distinguished based on their attire. As such, a richer civilian could be pickpocketed for more money.
*Prior to ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' there were extremely few instances of children appearing in-game, and none could be interacted within free roaming sequences.
**The only children present before ''Assassin's Creed III'' were Ezio's younger brother, [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]], [[Caterina Sforza]]'s children, [[Bianca Riario|Bianca]] and [[Ottaviano Riario]], a child in [[Monteriggioni]] upon Ezio's and [[Mario Auditore|Mario]]'s return from [[Vaticano District|the Vatican]], and the lost boy whose mother was captured by [[Silvestro Sabbatini]].

;''Assassin's Creed''
*When Desmond had fully synchronized with Altaïr, and had relived through the memories desired by [[Abstergo Industries]], he could no longer be desynchronized by killing civilians.
*Altaïr was originally able to push civilians out of his way while standing still, instead of only while running.
*An [[Assassin's Creed achievements|achievement]] called "'''Enemy of the Poor'''" could be obtained by throwing female beggars 25 times.
*The only female civilians in Masyaf could be seen in the garden area of the fortress.

;''Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines''
*Thugs could be found in the streets, usually with daggers tucked into their belts. However, they would not attempt to steal or cause any inconvenience, instead acting as normal civilians.
*Scholars lost most of their importance in the game, as Altaïr could blend simply by posing as one, rather than walking within groups of them. However, they could still be found in the streets. Among the civilians of the game, they would not reprimand Altaïr for any improper behavior. They would, however, turn to watch as the Assassin drew any weapon, and would flee at any sign of violence.
*Members of the [[Cypriot Resistance]] also wandered the streets. Though they carried swords, they would not attack the Templars, and would always flee if guards attacked Altaïr. Also, while the resistance members were allied with Altaïr, they would still complain and threaten him if he stumbled into them.
*Civilian population in the game was sparse, due to PSP's limitations. This was explained in-game as the result of the Templar regime.
*Drunkards could be found in certain areas of [[Kyrenia]]'s Harbor district, though they would nearly always be asleep on the streets, usually with a mug nearby.
*While escaping from [[Piracy|pirates]] in a cutscene, Altaïr knocked a man into the sea. However, if he did the same afterwards, it would cause instant desynchronization.

;''Assassin's Creed II''
*In ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Brotherhood'', women would often find anything that Ezio did to be attractive, commenting on how strong, fast, or brave he was throughout the game.
*There was a rare glitch where a group of civilians listening to a [[Heralds|herald]] would not react to any violent acts Ezio committed. These civilians could be killed without penalizing Desmond, though on occasion, about a minute after the glitch, he could spontaneously be desynchronized.

;''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''
*As Rome was renovated, civilians would begin to carry parasols, bread, scepters and fans, signifying their increased wealth.
*Potential Assassin recruits in Rome always had the same clothes as [[Duccio de Luca]], [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia Auditore]]'s former fiancé.

;''Assassin's Creed: Revelations''
*Civilians were seen doing a greater variety of activities, such as smoking a hookah pipe, playing board games or browsing the shops. In some cases, a rowdy citizen would challenge Ezio to a brawl, and merchants would ask him for help in carrying boxes if their shipment was running late.
*Some civilians in Constantinople would speak using Italian accents and terms, representing the diverse culture of the city.
*In the E3 promotional video, a civilian could be seen carrying a barrel, however no such carrier was present in the final version of the game.

;''Assassin's Creed III''
*Adult civilians and domestic animals could be killed if they were manually targeted.
*Civilians tended to stare at Connor, and make comments about how aggressive he seemed, even if he was just walking at a fast pace.
*Haytham and Connor would automatically shove civilians when running, as opposed to falling over.

;''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag''
*Unlike previous games, civilians could not be killed with regular weapons, though they were still susceptible to both sleep and berserk darts. If Edward was attacked by a civilian under the influence of a berserk dart, he would not be able to parry or counter-attack.
*In the E3 promotional video, Edward could be seen naturally engaging in various activities while blending with groups of civilians, though no such feature was present in the final version of the game.
*Civilians no longer drown upon falling into water, and will instead swim and attempt to climb out and back onto land.
