			===The B.I.C. accountant===
			Later that year, a group of Templars kidnapped an accountant working for the [[East India Company\|British India Company]] and took him to the Bank of England's vault, where they beat and threatened him, reminding him that the company's accounts were to remain confidential. Fortunately, the accountant was soon rescued by Evie Frye and [[Duleep Singh]], who wished to learn the location of stolen [[Punjab]]i [[gold]]. After the pair escorted the injured accountant out of the bank, he provided them with the information they sought in gratitude.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' – ''[[The Last Maharaja]]'' – [[Stealing from the Poor]]</ref>
