			In February 1692, a young girl named [[Dorothy Osborne]] inexplicably became "ill", presenting symptoms which no one could explain. The situation caught the attention of Parris, who believed the illness to be the result of exposure to a [[Piece of Eden]]. For unknown reasons, Parris then pushed his daughter and niece to fake having the same seizures, which started a mass hysteria in the town as other women also became "ill". The Puritan Church declared that the illness was the work of the Devil, and neighbors began accusing each other of witchcraft, leading to their arrest.<ref name="AC #02"/>

			Parris' fellow Templar [[William Stoughton]] was appointed as the chief magistrate of the court tasked with judging the individuals accused of witchcraft. However, both Templars secretly used the trials as a pretext to search for the Piece of Eden which had supposedly caused the mass "illness". They imprisoned all women accused of witchcraft, including Osborne, as well as a mute boy named [[David (Salem)\|David]], until they could conclude which of them had come into contact with the artifact.<ref name="AC #02"/>

			Meanwhile, the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assassins]] also heard the rumors concerning the presence of a Piece of Eden in Salem, and sent the [[Master Assassin]] [[Thomas Stoddard]] to investigate.<ref name="AC #01">''Assassin's Creed'' – [[Assassin's Creed 1\|Issue #01]]</ref> Arriving in June 1692, Stoddard was met by two undercover Templar agents, whom he killed before the arrival of his real contact: the local Assassin and [[nurse]] [[Jennifer Querry]]. Together, the pair infiltrated the warehouse where the Templars held their captives, and freed Osborne and David, the former of whom promised to lead them to the Piece of Eden.<ref name="AC #02"/>

			Having learned of Stoddard's arrival in Salem, Stoughton convinced the townsfolk that the Assassin was the Devil incarnate and ordered them to capture him, despite Parris' protests.<ref name="AC #02"/> A group of Puritans ambushed Stoddard, Querry, Osborne, and David, but the Master Assassin fought them off, allowing the group to flee into the swamp before more attackers arrived. However, Querry was shot during their escape, slowing her down and allowing the Templars to follow her to Stoddard and the others, whom they captured.<ref name="AC #03"/>

			[[File:AC - Templars torturing Tom and Jennifer.png\|thumb\|240px\|The Templars torturing Stoddard and Querry]]
			Stoughton and Parris subsequently took their prisoners to a basement, where Stoddard and Querry were bound and tortured while the Templars tried to discern which of the two children was the "oracle" they sought. When Osborne suddenly became possessed by the [[Isu]] [[Consus]], who delivered a cryptic message intended for Stoddard's descendant [[Charlotte de la Cruz]], Querry seized the opportunity to free herself. However, she was shot and killed by Stoughton. Witnessing this, a remorseful Osborne decided to commit suicide by walking into a fire, foiling Stoughton's plans to use her to create more "oracles".<ref name="AC #04">''Assassin's Creed'' – [[Assassin's Creed 4 (issue)\|Issue #04]]</ref>

			Furious, the Templar decided to execute Stoddard, but was stopped by Parris, who shot his Templar brother in the arm. Disagreeing with Stoughton's violent methods, Parris declared that their mission in Salem was done, and was convinced by Stoddard to let him and David go. The Templar also handed Stoddard the keys to the cells holding the remaining captive women, allowing the Assassin to free them.<ref name="AC #04"/>

			Later, Stoddard buried Querry and Osborne on a hill outside Salem and reflected on his failed mission. Deciding to change his ways and become more compassionate, he adopted David, whom he deduced to be Querry's secret son. He gave the boy a copy of [[Dante Alighieri\|Dante]]'s ''{{Wiki\|Inferno (Dante)\|Inferno}}''—a family heirloom—and offered to teach him how to read as the two left the city.<ref name="AC #04"/>
