	Having had enough of his father, Desmond yelled at William for provoking his own son too far, and accused him of being no better than the Templars, to which William responded by punching his son in the face. William revealed that the driving force of his whole career as an Assassin was to make a better place for his son, and that the impending countdown did not afford Desmond the luxury of time to relax. However, he did acknowledge that he had been a poor father to Desmond, though the two still avoided each other for some time.<ref name="AC3">		Having had enough of his father, Desmond yelled at William for provoking his own son too far, and accused him of being no better than the Templars, to which William responded by punching his son in the face.
