	Born in [[Baltimore]] in 1706, little of Gist's background is known. Despite a lack of formal education, he was trained in surveying and became a successful frontiersman. Prior to the [[Seven Years' War]], ~~Gist~~ settled in [[North Carolina]] and was the neighbor of [[Daniel Boone]], another celebrated frontiersman.<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Database: Christopher Gist]]</ref>		Born in [[Baltimore]] in 1706, little of Gist's background is known.

	At some point while in [[Albany]], Gist met the young [[thief]] [[Jack Weeks]] when the latter attempted to [[Pickpocketing\|pickpocket]] him. Impressed by the boy's audacious attitude, Gist hired him as an errand boy and brought him along on his travels, teaching him about trading as well as how to imitate people of various social status and origins.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Database: Jack Weeks]]</ref>		At some point while in [[Albany]], Gist met the young [[thief]] [[Jack Weeks]] when the latter attempted to [[Pickpocketing\|pickpocket]] him.

	Around 1746, Gist became an associate of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]] in the [[United States\|British colonies]], led by [[Lawrence Washington]]. That year, Washington wrote Gist a letter discussing the ~~[[American Rite of the Templar Order\|Colonial~~ Templars]]' need for a front company to double as a communications network. Washington also noted that [[William Johnson]] could prove a valuable ally as he had recently been appointed Colonel of the Warriors of the [[Iroquois\|Six Nations]] and held good relations with the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]], and suggested to Gist that they start making friendly appeals to Johnson.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[War Letters]]: "Front Company"</ref>		Around 1746, Gist became an associate of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]] in the [[United States\|British colonies]], led by [[Lawrence Washington]].

	In June 1758, Gist, Shay, and the Colonial Templars' [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Haytham Kenway]] participated in the [[Siege of Louisbourg]], using [[James Cook]]'s [[Man O' War]], the [[HMS Pembroke\|HMS ''Pembroke'']], to repel an attack by the [[French Navy]] and the ''[[Experto Crede]]'', captained by the Assassin [[Adéwalé]].<ref name="Men o' War">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Men o' War]]</ref> As Adéwalé managed to escape the battle, the Templars later tracked him down and killed him at [[Vieille Carrière]].

	In early 1760, Gist and Shay met with James Cook to enlist his aid in tracking down the Assassin [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye]]. At Cook's suggestion, the two sailed to [[Anticosti Island]] to steal de la Vérendrye's maps, and during the voyage, Shay expressed remorse over having killed his former friend [[Hope Jensen]]. Gist tried to cheer him up, telling him that he had done the right thing, as Hope's death had rid New York of Assassin influence. The two then discussed what Shay had managed to learn from Hope, namely the fact that the Assassins were preparing an expedition to find an [[Isu]] [[Temple (Isu)\|~~temple~~]], which the Templars sought to prevent.<ref name="No Laws">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[No Laws But Our Own]]</ref>		In early 1760, Gist and Shay met with James Cook to enlist his aid in tracking down the Assassin [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye]].

	After Shay stole the maps, Cook was able to pinpoint de la Vérendrye's location and the Templars sailed there, only to be ambushed by the Assassin's fleet. Nevertheless, the ''Morrigan'' prevailed and ~~sunk~~ the enemy ships, including de la Vérendrye's Man O' War, the ''[[Gerfaut]]''. However, before the Assassin's demise, Shay learned that he had merely acted as a distraction and that the Brotherhood was already on its way to the [[Arctic Temple]].<ref name="Cold Fire">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Cold Fire]]</ref>		After Shay stole the maps, Cook was able to pinpoint de la Vérendrye's location and the Templars sailed there, only to be ambushed by the Assassin's fleet.

	Shortly after this victory, Shay left for [[Europe]] to search for a [[Precursor box]] while Gist and the other Templars stayed behind to eradicate the remaining Assassins in the colonies.
