	However, the Templars gradually grew dissatisfied with Brewster's slow progress. In February 1868, [[Lucy Thorne]], the Order's resident expert on the [[Pieces of Eden]] and the second-in-command of [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Crawford Starrick]], visited Brewster and pressured him to work faster, claiming he had received more than enough time.

	However, as Brewster conducted his research, the Assassin [[Evie Frye]] leapt upon him and assassinated him. In his final moments, the scientist revealed Thorne had already discovered another Piece of Eden. When Evie claimed that she would take that one from the Templars as well, Brewster lamented how [[~~Humans~~\|humanity]] inherently focused on the material, which they would inevitably lose upon death. After he breathed his last, Evie hurriedly made her escape, as the Apple detonated from all the electricity that it had been exposed to, ~~completely~~ destroying the underground laboratory.<ref name="ACS" />		However, as Brewster conducted his research, the Assassin [[Evie Frye]] leapt upon him and assassinated him.

	However, as Brewster conducted his research, the Assassin [[Evie Frye]] leapt upon him and assassinated him. In his final moments, the scientist revealed Thorne had already discovered another Piece of Eden. When Evie claimed that she would take that one from the Templars as well, Brewster lamented how [[Humans\|humanity]] inherently focused on the material, which they would inevitably lose upon death. After he breathed his last, Evie hurriedly made her escape, as the Apple detonated from all the electricity that it had been exposed to, completely destroying the underground laboratory.<ref name="ACS" />		However, as Brewster conducted his research, the Assassin [[Evie Frye]] leapt upon him and assassinated him.

	Most unusually for a Templar, Brewster was a fiercely religious man who frequently made references to [[Christianity\|God]], rather than discard religion as some fanciful tale or illusion. As such, he possessed a deep-rooted dislike of Charles Darwin and his theories of evolution, which he was determined to prove wrong. In line with his faith, he regarded the Apple of Eden as something that genuinely came from God, rather than the [[Isu\|Precursors]]. Brewster was also an impassioned researcher who wanted to discover new things; however, his practices of abducting people to experiment on showed a willingness to commit amoral acts in the name of science.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate''</ref>		Most unusually for a Templar, Brewster was a fiercely religious man who frequently made references to [[Christianity\|God]], rather than discard religion as some fanciful tale or illusion.
