	*Erudito's hacked version of the Coyote Man's file in the [[Abstergo Story]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' [[multiplayer]] states that he killed a Mentor with his bare hands. As the Coyote Man is also described as operating on the east coast of North America, i.e. the [[United States\|British colonies]], one might assume that the Mentor he killed was of the [[American Brotherhood of Assassins\|Colonial Brotherhood]]. However, because the only two Mentors of the Colonial Brotherhood in the 18th century were the founder [[Achilles Davenport]], who died of old age, and the protagonist [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], the Mentor that the Coyote Man slew could not have been of the Colonial Brotherhood.		*Erudito's hacked version of the Coyote Man's file in the [[Abstergo Story]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' [[multiplayer]] states that he killed a Mentor with his bare hands.

Although a matter of opinion, this would seem to ignore the role of Shay Cormac, the protagonist of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'', in destroying the Assassins of that region. The out-of-universe explanation, however, would most likely be that the plot of ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'' and Shay ~~Cormac~~ had not been conceived yet at the time that the Coyote Man's profile was written. This might also account for the fact that he is described as killing a Mentor despite the fact this Mentor could not have been serving on the American east coast.		*The Coyote Man's file also credits him as the "best Assassin hunter on the American east coast".
