			==Biography==
	In 1723, Walpole met with the Assassin [[Edward Kenway]] after the former [[piracy\|pirate]] had seized the ''[[Charlotte (ship)\|Charlotte]]'', in an attempt to kill his old rival, [[Matthew Hague]]. Alongside Hague's father Sir [[Aubrey Hague]], a Templar, Walpole offered Edward and his crew pardons, new lives, and property in exchange for Matthew Hague's life, hoping to prevent "another act of barbarism", as well as a gesture of thanks to Edward for having dealt with his cousin [[Duncan Walpole]]. Eight years prior, Edward had taken Duncan's life and impersonated him in a scheme to steal Duncan's payment for his Templar service; Walpole was of the opinion that Duncan had brought dishonour to their family by betraying the Assassins to the Templars for profit.<ref name="ACBF">''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]''</ref>		In 1723, Walpole met with the Assassin [[Edward Kenway]] after the former [[piracy\|pirate]] had seized the ''[[Charlotte (ship)\|Charlotte]]'', in an attempt to kill his old rival, [[Matthew Hague]].
