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

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

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

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

[[File:AC Rogue - Sailing.jpg|thumb|250px|The ''Morrigan'' in the Northern [[Atlantic Ocean]]]]
The '''''Morrigan''''' was a heavily modified {{Wiki|sloop-of-war}}, captained by the [[Assassins|Assassin]]-turned-[[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]], during the [[Seven Years' War]].

==Crew==
*Shay Cormac - Captain
*[[Christopher Gist]] - Quartermaster

==Armaments==
With the ship's armaments and equipment funded by the wealth of the Templar Order, the ''Morrigan'' was one of the most advanced warships of her time; she was equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry such as {{Wiki|puckle gun}}s, {{Wiki|carronade}}s, and burning oil. She also possessed the standard armaments including broadside cannons, mortars, and an ice-breaker ram. Due to the ''Morrigan''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sleek design, she was much faster and more maneuverable than several other ships while still maintaining above average firepower for a ship of her size.

==Trivia==
*The ''Morrigan'' featured [[wolves]] on her sails and figurehead.
*The ship shared her name with a figure from Irish mythology called "The Morrígan". She was the goddess of strife, battle and sovereignty. She was mainly depicted as a crow in her animal form, giving the ''Morrigan'' an avian namesake along with the ''[[Aquila]]'' and the ''[[Jackdaw]]''.

'''Shay Patrick Cormac''' (c. 1731 – unknown) was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], operating around the [[Atlantic Ocean]] during the [[Seven Years' War]].

Formerly a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]], Shay devoted his Templar career to hunting down his prior associates. Aboard his [[Ships|ship]], the ''[[Morrigan]]'', Shay's travels brought him to [[New York City|New York]] and the {{Wiki|Appalachian Mountains}}, among other locations.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/08/05/september-cover-reveal-assassins-creed-rogue-unity.aspx GameInformer: ''September Cover Revealed – Assassin's Creed Rogue And Unity'']</ref>

==Biography==
Born to Irish immigrants, Shay was taken in by the Assassins after the passing of his father.<ref name="Rogue narrative"/> After a mission went tragically wrong, Shay decided to abandon the Assassins, who in turn tried to kill him, presumably in an effort to prevent their Order from becoming compromised. Feeling betrayed by his comrades, and nursed back to health by the Templars, Shay joined them and decided to hunt down his former brethren.<ref>[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-GB/games/assassins-creed-rogue.aspx Ubisoft: ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'']</ref>

==Personality and characteristics==
Shay was originally a brash young man. He did not take his role as an Assassin seriously, instead being frivolous; not because he did not believe in the cause, but because he was young and unwise. However, after a traumatic event, Shay became a somber, dedicated character. He rethought his whole philosophy and his allegiance to the Assassins, realizing that the Templars' goals and methods were more in line with his own beliefs; this fervor caused him to pursue his former brothers-in-arms for something he believed was the better path.<ref name="GI Shay"/>

===Equipment and skills===
Shay appeared to be a skilled captain, adept at navigating the ''Morrigan'' through the icy waters of the North Atlantic, and like other Assassins before him, he was a capable [[Freerunning|freerunner]]. Shay was also shown to be a skilled swordsman, [[dual-wielding]] weapons with great efficiency.

Among his arsenal of weapons, Shay counted his [[Hidden Blade]], a [[Swords|sword]] paired with a [[Short blades|dagger]], two flintlock pistols, rope darts, a grenade launcher and an [[:http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Air_rifle|air rifle]] – the latter pair being prototypes funded by the Templar Order.To protect himself from smoke bombs and various gases, Shay usually had a [[gas mask]] equipped to negate their effects.<ref name="GI Shay"/>

==Trivia==
*Shay's name is the anglicized form of the Gaelic ''Séaghdha'', which means "hawk". His middle name comes from the Latin ''Patricius'', meaning "nobleman". His family name is a conjoined term; ''mac'' is Gaelic for "son of", while ''cor'' has been interpreted as either "charioteer" or "raven".
*Shay's attire – the style worn by Templars of the time – bore similarities to the [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Templar armor|Templar armor]] obtained by [[Edward Kenway]] during the latter's time in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/assassinscreed/status/505889581082767360 Twitter: Assassin's Creed]</ref>
*Shay was the fifth known Templar to perform the Leap of Faith, the others being [[Francesco de' Pazzi]], [[Vali cel Tradat]], [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Daniel Cross]].
*Shay is the second playable Templar in the ''Assassin's Creed'' series' single player, with the first being Haytham Kenway. He is also the second Templar known to have used [[Eagle Vision]], the first also being Haytham.
*Shay's practice of dual-wielding a sword paried with a dagger was also utilized by the Templar brothers [[Shalim]] and [[Shahar]] in the 12th century.

{{WP-REAL}}
[[File:DB_Wolf.png|thumb|180px|A wolf]]
'''Wolves''' are canine predatory animals found in [[Europe]], [[Asia]], [[North America]] and formerly North [[Africa]].

==History==
Legend has it that a she-wolf protected the infants {{Wiki|Romulus and Remus}}, the founders of [[Rome]]. During the [[Renaissance]], the [[Followers of Romulus]] wore wolf skins to emulate their god, and they also placed wolf skulls on the entrances to their [[Lairs of Romulus|Lairs]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

The Templars also saw the potency of wolf symbolism to the [[Assassins]]' preoccupation with [[eagles]]: one such example consisted of [[Baltasar de Silva]] and [[Fiora Cavazza]] dubbing their Assassin-styled protégé "[[Il Lupo]]" ("The Wolf").<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

During the 7 Year War, the Templar [[Shay Cormac|Shay Cormac's]] [[Morrigan|ship]] had wolves painted on her red sails.

[[File:ACIII-Unconvinced 3.png|thumb|250px|[[Haytham Kenway]] fending off a wolf]]
During the 18th century, the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] became adept at [[hunting]] wolves, trading their pelts, meat or teeth for money. When he and [[Robert Faulkner]] arrived at [[Oak Island]] to search for [[William Kidd]]'s [[Shards of Eden|treasure]] in 1777, they were attacked by a pack of wolves who were situated near the sinkhole it was buried under.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

In an [[The Tyranny of King Washington|alternate reality]], Ratonhnhaké:ton drank the Tea of the Red Willow and became one with the Spirit of the Wolf. In return, he gained the [[Wolf Cloak|ability to turn invisible]], and the power to [[Wolf Pack|summon wolves]] to attack his enemies.<ref>''[[The Tyranny of King Washington: The Infamy]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Templar Order is often likened to wolves in memory names, such as [[Wolves in Sheep's Clothing]] or [[In the Wolf's Lair]], or in the Latin-named memories [[In Bocca al Lupo]] and [[Crepi il Lupo]].
**On one occasion, [[Edward Braddock]] stated "wolves often travel in packs" when he met [[Haytham Kenway]] and his fellow Templars in [[Boston]].
**In contrast, [[Daniel Cross]] derided the Assassins as a "family of wolves" in ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Chain]]''.
*In winter, wolves could be seen attacking cattle on [[Warren]] and [[Prudence]]'s farm on the [[Davenport Homestead]].

[[File:AC Rogue - Sailing.jpg|thumb|250px|The ''Morrigan'' in the Northern [[Atlantic Ocean]]]]
The '''''Morrigan''''' was a heavily modified [[Ships|sloop]] captained by former [[Assassins|Assassin]]-turned-[[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]] during the [[French and Indian War|Seven Years' War]]. Due to the Templar Order's great wealth, The Morrigan was one of the most advanced warships during its time. She was equipped with advanced weaponry such as puckle guns, cannonade, and burning oil. She also possessed the standard arnaments such as broadside cannons, mortars, and ice ram. Due to the sleek design of the vessel, she was much more faster and maneuverable than the [[Jackdaw]].

==Crew==
*Shay Cormac - Captain

==Trivia==
*The ''Morrigan'' featured [[wolves]] on its sails and figurehead.
*The ship shared its name with a figure from Irish mythology called "The Morrígan". She was the goddess of strife, battle and sovereignty. She was also depicted as a crow, giving the ''Morrigan'' an avian namesake along with the ''[[Aquila]]'' and ''[[Jackdaw]]''.

'''Shay Patrick Cormac''' (c. 1731 – unknown) was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], operating around the [[Atlantic Ocean]] during the [[Seven Years' War]].

Formerly a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]], Shay devoted his Templar career to hunting down his old associates. Aboard his [[Ships|ship]], the ''[[Morrigan]]'', Shay's travels brought him to [[New York City|New York]] and the {{Wiki|Appalachian Mountains}}, among other locations.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/08/05/september-cover-reveal-assassins-creed-rogue-unity.aspx GameInformer: ''September Cover Revealed – Assassin's Creed Rogue And Unity'']</ref>

==Biography==
After a mission went tragically wrong, Shay decided to abandon the Assassins, who in turn tried to kill him, presumably in an effort to prevent their Order from becoming compromised. Feeling betrayed by his comrades, Shay turned to the Templars and decided to hunt down his former brethren.<ref>[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-GB/games/assassins-creed-rogue.aspx Ubisoft: ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'']</ref>

==Personality and characteristics==
Shay was originally a brash young man. He did not take his role as an Assassin seriously, instead being frivolous; not because he did not believe in the cause, but because he was young and unwise. However, after a traumatic event, he became a somber, dedicated character. He rethought his whole philosophy and his allegiance to the Assassins, realizing that the Templars' goals and methods were more in line with his own beliefs. This caused him to pursue his former brothers-in-arms for something he believed was the better path for the future. Due in part to this shift in philosophy, Shay pursues his former comrades with a ruthless and driven mindset. <ref name="GI Shay" />

===Equipment and skills===
Shay appeared to be a skilled captain, adept at navigating The Morrigan through the icy waters of the North Atlantic, and like other Assassins before him, he was a capable [[Freerunning|freerunner]]. He is shown to be a skilled swordsman, [[dual-wielding]] with great efficiency,

Among his arsenal of weapons, Shay counted his [[Hidden Blade]], a long sword paired with a [[Short blades|dagger]], a grenade launcher and an [[Firearms|air rifle]] – the latter pair being prototypes funded by the Templar Order.<ref name="GI Shay" />

==Trivia==
*Shay's name is the anglicized form of the Gaelic ''Séaghdha'', which means "hawk". His middle name comes from the Latin ''Patricius'', meaning "nobleman". His family name is a conjoined term, defined as "son of corruption"; it is combined from the Gaelic words ''Corb'', translating to "defilement, corruption" and ''Mac'', meaning "son".
*Shay's attire bore similarities to the [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Templar armor|Templar armor]] obtained by [[Edward Kenway]] during the latter's time in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]].
* Shay is the 2nd playable main character to be affiliated with the Templar Order. (The first being Haytham Kenway)
