	The Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton\|Connor]] came to New York with [[Benjamin Tallmadge]] in 1776, to investigate a plot to murder [[George Washington]]. Tallmadge learned the Templar and Continental soldier [[Thomas Hickey]] was involved: Connor tracked Hickey by following members of his counterfeiting racket. Unfortunately, Connor was arrested along with Hickey by soldiers who mistook him for a fellow counterfeiter, and was thrown into Bridewell Prison. The Templars framed Connor for the plot and planned to have him executed outside City Hall, with Washington attending. The Assassins - and Connor's father, Grand Master Haytham Kenway<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Forsaken]]''</ref> - stopped the hanging, and Connor assassinated Hickey for trying to kill Washington.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' - [[Public Execution]]</ref>		The Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton\|Connor]] came to New York with [[Benjamin Tallmadge]] in 1776, to investigate a plot to murder [[George Washington]].

	As the British Army led by General [[William Howe]] marched on New York, Washington prepared the defense of the city. On 26 August, during the battle of Long Island, the Continental Army was defeated. Pinned against the East River, the Assassin Brotherhood helped the troops retreat to Brooklyn Heights. On 15 September, the British Navy landed at Kip's Bay, weakening Washington's leadership as the troops called for Charles Lee's ascension. The Assassins prevented the Templar from becoming the new commander. On 16 September, the Assassins motivated the Patriots in Harlem Heights, telling them about the mockery said by the British troops leading them to victory. Later, the Assassins discreetly protected [[Rufus Putnam]] during a reconnaissance mission into Harlem Heights.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' - [[Contracts (Colonial Brotherhood)\|Contracts]]</ref>		As the British Army led by General [[William Howe]] marched on New York, Washington prepared the defense of the city.

	On November ~~16,~~ 2012, Desmond Miles, who had recently rejoined the Brotherhood, revisited New York City after his kidnapping in September of the same year. His destination was a Manhattan office of [[Abstergo Industries]], to recover a power source for the [[Grand Temple]]. That night, Desmond carried out his first proper mission as a [[Modern times\|modern-day]] Assassin. He climbed what seemed to be an abandoned skyscraper while keeping in contact with [[Shaun Hastings]], [[Rebecca Crane]], and his father, [[William Miles]], via an earpiece. Rebecca recorded the entire operation using drones. At the top of the skyscraper, Desmond parachuted from a construction crane to another building. After opening the parachute at the right moment, he flew toward yet another building before retracting the parachute. Once inside the office, he encountered the Templar operative [[Daniel Cross]], who was waiting for him, armed with a gun. Desmond quickly disarmed him and knocked Cross out using the power source before making his escape.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' – [[Modern Tower]]</ref>		On 16 November 2012, Desmond Miles, who had recently rejoined the Brotherhood, revisited New York City after his kidnapping in September of the same year.

	The next morning, Daniel awoke alone and disoriented. Due to another [[Bleeding Effect]] caused by overexposure to the [[Animus]], he was speaking in Russian. Around noon, he was spotted by Templar operative [[Juhani Otso Berg]], who had been sent by [[Laetitia England]] to investigate the security breach at the office. A confused and delirious Daniel attacked Berg but was swiftly neutralized and taken back to Abstergo, where he was detained in a holding cell until [[Warren Vidic]] could be contacted.

	New York's sewers in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' are anachronistic. In reality, an open canal known as {{wiki\|Canal Street (Manhattan)\|Canal Street}} was used for transporting sewage during the 18th century.

	New York is depicted quite differently between ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue\|Rogue]]'' despite relatively short past time. Entire buildings are different structurally or are made of different materials or are missing completely, stone walls are replaced with wooden palisades, different pavements are being used in the same place and a particular church is missing due to ''Rogue'' having its unique version of the city rather than reusing the ACIII version.<ref>{{Youtube\|C6-xgcbZNuY\|Assassin's Creed New York Comparison (AC III VS Rogue)\|UCHXcmYcI1FTChnQ5Ba8ZOfA\|Kaine852}}</ref> Also the ''Rogue'' version of the city has a more colorful and vivid atmosphere compared to the somewhat gloomy incarnation seen in ''Assassin's Creed III''.
