	~~[[File:The Battle~~ of ~~Arsuf Plains~~.~~jpg\|thumb\|250px]]~~		Under the threat of death, Jeanne abandoned her family and began a new life at a freed slave camp in Chichen Itza, far away from her daughter, Aveline de Grandpré, in New Orleans.
	~~While his Crusaders clashed~~ with ~~Saladin’s army at~~ the ~~battle~~ of ~~Arsuf~~, ~~King Richard I~~, ~~also known as “the Lionheart”~~, ~~was confronted~~ by ~~Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad~~, ~~a member of~~ the ~~Levantine Assassins~~.
			After nearly a decade of separation, Jeanne came face-to-face with Aveline when the latter journeyed to the Mayan site during an investigation into the disappearances of slaves from Louisiana. To Aveline’s dismay, Jeanne fled upon learning of her daughter’s ties to the Assassin Brotherhood and her mentor, Agaté.

			Years later, she explained her reasons for leaving, before refusing her daughter’s offer to return to New Orleans.

			After escaping a trap laid by Benjamin Church through an abandoned brewery in New York, the Assassin Connor and his father, Haytham, learned that Church had left for the Caribbean.

	~~Altaïr accused Robert de Sable, one of Richard’s most trusted generals~~ and the ~~Grandmaster of the Templar Order~~, ~~of betraying his King by exploiting~~ the ~~conflict for~~ the ~~Templar’s gain.

After an arduous chase through rogue winds and narrow canals, the ambushed Aquila engaged Church’s defenders into battle and managed to destroy the man-of-war’s masts. Father and son then boarded the enemy vessel to confront the Templar defector.

	~~Man of Controversy=~~
	~~===Man of Controversy: Oxford, England, 1583===~~
	~~[[File:GiordanoBruno.png\|thumb]]~~
	Having gained widespread fame and notoriety for his outstanding memory retention and grasp of the mnemonic system, Giodano Bruno quickly gained the favor of some of Europe's most influential individuals, including Pope Pius V and King Henry III of France.

	Bruno was an Italian Dominican friar, astronomer, mathematician, and Hermeticist. His thirst for cosmological knowledge saw him surpass the models of Nicolaus Copernicus. He proposed that the Sun was but one star in a sky of infinite stars, which were orbited by an infinite number of planets inhabited by intelligent extraterrestrial life.

	In 1593, Bruno travelled to England at the recommendation of Henry III. There, he met with members of the Hermetic inner circle who surrounded John Dee. Whether or not he met with Dee himself and what he accomplished at these meetings remains a mystery to this day. Bruno lectured at Oxford University for a time, but his controversial theories did not sit well with other educators and he was denied a permanent position.

	~~His flair for displeasing powerful people proved to be his demise, as he was later arrested during the Roman Inquisition, branded a heretic, and burned at the stake.~~

	After years of living and working with fellow occultist Edward Kelley and his family in Prague, the influential astronomer, mathematician, and Hermeticist John Dee parted company with his colleague following a quarrelsome period of disagreements and high tensions.

	Dee, who at the time was in possession of an Apple of Eden, and Kelley had been absorbed in the study of a mysterious tome with the power to overpower the human mind with revelations. The pair came to a head when Kelley became obsessed with the book. It consumed his fragile mind and sent him down the path of mental instability.

	Realizing the dangers, Dee pleaded with Kelley to abandon his studies, but the latter refused. Soon after, following a spate of blistering arguments, Dee departed their shared home in Prague, taking the book with him.

	~~===Death of the Dog: Braddock, USA, 1755-07-09===~~
	Having enlisted in the Virginian militia during the "French and Indian War", George Washington came under the command of British Army General and Templar, Edward Braddock. Acting as his guide, he rode with Braddock during the Battle of the Monongehala, as British forces moved to conquer Fort Duquesne.

	During the campaign, Braddock and a group of his men, were ambushed by Templar Haytham Kenway and a group of natives from local tribes assembled by Kaniehtí:io of the Kanien'kehá:ka. In a desperate attempt to prevent his general's assassination, Washington shot Haytham's steed, trapping him beneath the horse. But before he could fire another shot, he was pinned down by Kaniehtí:io, who held her blade to his throat, while Haytham Kenway wriggled free and fatally wounded Braddock.

	~~With Braddock's death and the expedition a failure, Washington rallied a retreat of the obliterated forces and recovered the body to prevent its desecration.~~

	~~===Conspiring with the British, Bengal, India, 1757===~~
	~~[[File:ACIMirJafar.jpg\|thumb]]~~
	Mir Jafar sought to overthrow his brother-in-law as the head of the government of Bengal and began a secret alliance with the British Empire. In the Battle of Palashi, fought on June 23, 1757, he swore by the Holy Quran to fight the British but instead informed Robert Clive of the Bengal ruler’s tactics, urging the British to advance to seize the territory. Following their victory, the British installed him as the new ruler.

	Mir Jafar offered the British financial compensations to the East India Company, and promised that he would exclude France from the region. He also promised special favors to the British military and naval forces in Calcutta. Ultimately, the endless monetary concessions forced upon him by the British resulted in his financial and political ruin. In October 1760, The East India Company forced him to resign in favor of his son-in-law Mir Qasim.

	~~Traitor of the Revolution=~~
	~~===Traitor of the Revolution===~~
	~~[[File:ArnoldTrumbull.jpg\|thumb]]~~
	Benedict Arnold was a general serving in the patriot army who had earned a number of victories against the British during the Revolutionary War. In 1776, he forced the surrender of British general John Burgoyne at Saratoga. Despite his military successes, Arnold never received much recognition from the Continental Congress, and was often passed over for promotions. Moreover, Congress refused to pay the expenses of some of his campaigns. He was even accused of corruption, although he was proven innocent.

	However, it seems that Benedict Arnold never forgave the Continental Congress for his poor treatment. In 1779, he began to send secret military information to the British side and, in 1780, he pushed Congress to obtain the command of the West Point fort in New York. He then offered the fort to the British in exchange for a position in the British Army and a vast sum of money.

	Ultimately, Arnold’s plan was exposed by the Assassin Connor, but he fled on the British ship Vulture. Benedict Arnold still managed to earn a position in the British army, but also a reputation as the greatest traitor of the American Revolution.

			===William Miles===
			Cold and calculating, William Miles took over what was left of the modern day Brotherhood and sacrificed everything to save the world.

			William was born in 1948, and spent much of his early life working with Assassin cells around the world. By the 1980s, he settled in a compound known as "The Farm", where he trained recruits, including Clay Kaczmarek, Lucy Stillman, and his own son, Desmond.

			In 2000, the Templars, eradicated a vast majority of the Brotherhood in an event known as "The Great Purge". William became the de facto leader of the few Assassin cells that remained.

			In 2003, Desmond rebelled and ran away. He resurfaced in 2012, when he was abducted by Abstergo and forced into the Animus Project, attempting to locate an Apple of Eden. William led the rescue effort and brought Desmond to New York. Father and son, along with Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane, found a First Civilization temple, and worked together to prevent a prophesied global catastrophe. Saving the world came at a high cost: Desmond died, and the Precursor entity known as Juno was released.

			Grieving, William retreated from the Assassins, handing off leadership to his friend Gavin Banks, along with a coded journal that contained many of his secrets. One year later, William has returned to the fight, but his motivations remain elusive as ever.

			===Desmond Miles===
			An Assassin who initially rejected his origins, Desmond Miles embraced his destiny and saved the world.

			Desmond was raised on a remote compound, but rebelled against his father's stifling control and ran away. The Templars found and kidnapped him, putting him into the Animus to relive the genetic memories of his ancestor Altaïr and find them a powerful artifact called the Apple of Eden.

			He was eventually rescued by the Assassins, but by then, he had absorbed Altaïr's wisdom through the Bleeding Effect. Despite the dangers, he continued his research so he could defeat the Templars. Through another ancestor, Ezio, Desmond learned the physical skills of the Assassins. Using these new abilities, he led his team to an Apple, but was possessed by an ancient being who drove him to stab one of his allies. Falling into a coma, Desmond was placed in the Animus to restore his mind.

			After recovering, Desmond relived the memories of two more ancestors: Haytham, a Templar, and Connor, an Assassin. Through them he accessed the Grand Temple, a site of great power where he sacrificed himself to save humanity from a global catastrophe.

			===Gavin Banks===
			Gavin Banks is a long-time member of the Assassin Brotherhood who has worked with cells all over the world. Gavin was mentored in Japan by [[Kenichi Mochizuki]] and has engaged in Assassin missions in Australia, Brazil, and America.

			Gavin is an old friend of the Assassin leader William Miles. When William went underground to mourn the loss of his son Desmond, he gave Gavin his journal, which contained everything he knew about the modern-day Brotherhood, albeit in coded puzzles. As the new leader, Gavin's mission was to rebuild the Assassins, who had struggled since the "Great Purge" of 2000.

			Gavin travels the world with his team, aboard a ship called the Altaïr II, which serves as a mobile headquarters for the Brotherhood. Gavin's crew includes:

			*[[Susan Drayton]], captain of the ship
			*[[Eric Cooper]], navigator
			*[[Emmanuel Barraza]], armorer
			*[[Emmett Leary]], computer expert
			*Dr. [[Stephanie Chiu]], ship's medic
			*[[Nodar Ninidze]], Chief Stewart
			*[[Akaki Ninidze]], Chief engineer
			*[[Galina Voronina]], Assassin enforcer

			===Blackbeard===
			Blackbeard (c.1680-1718) was the most famous pirate of the Golden Age and is credited for creating the fearsome image of the pirate that remains in public consciousness to this very day.

			Edward Thatch was born in or around Bristol in 1680 and took to the sea in his early teens. Thatch was known by many names throughout history, among them Teach, Theach, Tache, Titche, Teatch, and Tack, to name but a few. He was likely a privateer between the years of 1700 and 1713, but once the [[Treaty of Utrecht]] restored peace between England and several European powers, Thatch found himself as one of hundreds of unemployed sailors.

			Soon thereafter, Thatch befriended Benjamin Hornigold and sailed with him for a few years before they settled in Nassau. There, they began to hatch schemes for nothing less than their own sovereign nation built around their new piratical values.

			In 1717, after growing a long black beard, Thatch began to refer to himself as Blackbeard, and so a legend was born.

			===Black Bart===
			Charismatic and handsome, Black Bart (1682-1722) was the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, taking more than 470 vessels in his career.

			Although he is known to history as Black Bart, he never used that name while he was alive. He was born John Roberts in Wales, though little else is known about his early life.

			It's assumed he began a life at sea in his teens, and in 1719 he was pressed into piracy by a man named [[Howell Davis]], who recognized Roberts' abilities as a navigator. When Davis was killed, Roberts was elected captain of the Princess. It's around this time he adopted the name Bartholomew, likely inspired by the renowned buccaneer Bartholomew Sharp.

			===Benjamin Hornigold===
			Benjamin Hornigold (c.1685-1719) had a relatively short career as a pirate before turning his back on his former comrades to become a pirate hunter on behalf of the Governor of the Bahamas.

			Much of Hornigold's life is unrecorded, although it is believed he was born in Norfolk, England. He was an early pirate, with his first activity recorded in 1713-14, which makes it likely that he was a privateer. His second-in-command was Edward Thatch, who would later be better known as Blackbeard.

			For a short time, Hornigold was based in Nassau, where he became involved in plans to create a free republic of pirates. Although he was a skilled sailor and strategist, many felt that he wasn't ruthless enough to succeed as a true pirate.

			===Adéwalé===
			Born to enslaved parents in [[Trinidad]], Adéwalé was sold to the owner of a prosperous plantation before his teens. He escaped by joining a group of buccaneers who raided the plantation.

			Adé sailed with this group of men for many years, honing his skills as a sailor. In 1715, he was captured by Spanish authorities, who decided to send Adéwalé to Spain, and loaded him into one of the galleons that made up their perennial treasure fleet. Thanks to a hurricane, and a young Welsh pirate named Edward Kenway, Adé escaped. Freeing more prisoners as they went, Adé and Edward commandeered a brigantine and set sail just in time to beat the worst of the storm. When the hurricane passed, Adé was free once more.

			Adé became the quartermaster aboard Captain Edward's ship, the Jackdaw. Operating out of Nassau for a time, they grew wealthy off their spoils and lived the lives they had always dreamed of. But Adé was a man who valued the democratic ideals of this pirate republic community far above the spoils they acquired while living it. And as he saw Edward Kenway fall deeper into a spiral of selfish greed and pointless glory, he wondered if there wasn't a more noble cause he might adopt to suit his ideals.

			Adé met with Ah Tabai at the Assassin's village in Tulum. There he spoke with the old Mentor and asked him many questions about the Brotherhood. After hearing answers that pleased him greatly, Adé joined them. For over fifteen years, Adé faithfully served the Assassins. But in time, he became increasingly troubled by memories of his past.

			In 1735, while on a mission to eliminate a Templar admiral off the coast of Saint-Domingue, he was thrown overboard and washed ashore near Port-au-Prince.

			===Edward Kenway===
			Edward James Kenway (1693-1735) was a pirate trained by Assassins whose dream of making something of himself came true in a way he never could have imagined.

			Edward was born in Swansea, Wales and at the age of ten his family relocated to a farm in Bristol. This pastoral life did not agree with the young Edward who became a well-known troublemaker by the time he was in his teens. At 17, this reckless young man met Caroline Scott and a year later they were married, much to her well-bred family's dismay. Edward was committed to providing for his new wife, but quickly fell back into his old habits. In a desperate attempt to get rich, he clung to a dream of privateering. Caroline left him soon after, knowing she could not persuade him to stay.

			Across the Atlantic, Edward met Edward Thatch, who would later take the name of Blackbeard, at Nassau. Although he loved the carefree life of a pirate, Caroline was never far from his thoughts, and he still sought out a way to earn big and win her back.

			And then one day, Edward Kenway met an Assassin named Duncan Walpole...

			===Haytham Kenway===
			Haytham Kenway (1725-1781), a principled man and formidable Templar, found himself on the wrong side of both history and his son.

			Haytham's father was Edward Kenway, who trained him with a secret purpose. But on day, young Haytham's home was burned, his half-sister taken, and his father killed. Reginald Birch, a family friend, revealed that he was a Templar and offered to help.

			Years passed and Haytham became a ruthless and efficient killer for the Templars. He was sent to the colonies to establish order and find a crucial First Civilization site. He secured the assistance of Kanien'kehá:ka natives by freeing several captives, including Ziio, with whom he had an ill-fated but passionate affair.

			When Haytham found his sister, she revealed that the Templars were behind the attack on his home. Edward had been an Assassin, and Birch had him killed for his secrets. Once Birch was dead, Haytham returned to his rolel, disillusioned by Templar corruption.

			Haytham wanted to control the growing American Revolution, but the half-native Assassin Connor sabotaged his efforts. Haytham realized Connor was his son with Ziio, and while he tried to find common ground, he knew reconciliation was impossible. Haytham fell to his son's Hidden Blade.

			===Aveline de Grandpré===
			Aveline de Grandpré, a charming and determined Assassin, operated in the complex world of colonial Louisiana.

			Aveline was the illegitimate child of a French merchant and an African slave. Shortly after her father married Madeleine de L'Isle to further his business, her mother vanished mysteriously. Her unique upbringing let her grow into a social chameleon who could take on any guise from slave to lady.

			At first, Aveline was an obedient disciple of her Mentor Agaté. When she discovered a Templar plot to send Louisiana slaves to Mexico to dig for ancient artifacts, she investigated against her Mentor's will and found her mother there. She also learned about a high-ranking Templar called "The Company Man". She sought "him" for years, even enlisting the aid of the American Assassin Connor, only to learn that "he" was Madeleine.

			When she tried to warn Agaté, he doubted Aveline's loyalties and his despair led him to suicide. Aveleine then joined the Templars, a final ruse to destroy them from the inside. She assassinated her stepmother and kept a crucial artifact from Templar hands.
