	In January 1752, Liam and Shay arrived at [[Port-Menier]] to rendezvous with Chevalier and his fellow smugglers. While the two were [[hunting]], Chevalier's smugglers were captured and his ship, the ''[[Gerfaut]]'', came under attack by the [[Royal Navy]], leaving him stranded. After returning to camp, Liam and Shay were berated by Chevalier, who in his anger punched Shay, starting a [[Fist\|fistfight]] between them.

	After picking up Chevalier, Shay and Liam sailed to [[Anticosti Island]] to meet with the spy [[Le Chasseur]], an ally of the Brotherhood. Le Chasseur provided the Assassins with new armaments to upgrade the ''Morrigan'' and informed them that the Precursor box and the Voynich manuscript were in the possession of the [[Master Templar]] [[Lawrence Washington]].<ref name="Tinker Sailor Soldier Spy" />		After picking up Chevalier, Shay and Liam sailed to [[Anticosti Island]] to meet with the spy [[Le Chasseur]], an ally of the Brotherhood.

	With both the Precursor box and the Voynich manuscript back in Assassin hands, Shay's mission was complete and thus Liam was given a new assignment by Achilles. As a result, Liam could not accompany his friend when Shay sailed to [[Lisbon]] to investigate an Isu [[Temple (Isu)\|temple]] whose location had been revealed by the two artifacts. However, Shay's mission went awry, resulting in an [[1755 Lisbon earthquake\|earthquake]] that destroyed Lisbon, not too different from the one in Port-au-Prince ~~four years prior~~.<ref name="Kyrie Eleison">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Kyrie Eleison]]</ref>		With both the Precursor box and the Voynich manuscript back in Assassin hands, Shay's mission was complete and thus Liam was given a new assignment by Achilles.

	Liam and Shay would not see each other again until early 1756, when the latter returned to the Davenport Homestead and angrily accused Achilles of sending him to slaughter innocents. Liam and Hope intervened in the heated exchange, trying to calm down Shay before ultimately having to remove him from the manor. However, Shay's mind was already made up and, later that night, he broke into the manor to steal the Voynich manuscript, intending to put a stop to the Assassins' search for Isu temples.<ref name="Freewill">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Freewill]]</ref>		Liam and Shay would not see each other again until early 1756, when the latter returned to the Davenport Homestead and angrily accused Achilles of sending him to slaughter innocents.

	Achilles caught Shay in the middle of his theft and ordered his Assassins to capture the traitor. Liam attempted to stop his friend by shooting a powder keg, resulting in a small landslide, but Shay escaped from the trap. Eventually, the runaway Assassin was cornered atop a cliff by his former allies, including Liam, who pointed a gun at Shay to dissuade him from fleeing. However, Shay, who believed that absconding with the manuscript was the only way to prevent more innocent lives from being lost, ~~jumped~~ into the river ~~with it in his arms~~.<ref name="Freewill" />		Achilles caught Shay in the middle of his theft and ordered his Assassins to capture the traitor.
