	Once at the meeting, William, along with Abbot [[Thomas of Balmerino]], [[Amy Comyn]] and Deorsa, explained to Fillan the nature of his existence and the history of the Brotherhood in Scotland.

	~~On Winter~~ 1296, after the English attacked Scone, William spent months moving the real Stone of Destiny through Scotland while being chased by the [[Lann Fala]], an elite group of [[British Rite of the Templar Order\|British]] [[Templars]] who hunted the Assassins on Scotland a decade ago. Fortunately, the winter slowed the Templars and the English but it also slowed Wallace down and so he ~~couldn't~~ deliver the stone to its intended destination, the [[Iona Abbey]].

	On May 1297, William, accompanied by [[James of Crannach]], the apprentice of Thomas, encountered Fillan, Sören, Deorsa and the mercenary's group at a forest on {{Wiki\|Lanarkshire}}. After untying Deorsa, he explained how the raid would work to the rest of the group. While James ~~and him~~ would go off to kill [[William Heselrig]], the English sheriff of Lanark, Fillan would dispose of [[Bradley Dacre]], an English commander in charge of the garrison nearby. While Sören was wary about the plan, William hoped that with coordination and patience, the revolt would be successful and the Assassins would not be related to the murders by the English. When he announced that they were launching the assault that day, Deorsa was infuriated, but William explained that the element of surprise was of the essence and if they waited longer the people would rise without them.

	On May 1297, William, accompanied by [[James of Crannach]], the apprentice of [[Thomas of Balmerino]], encountered Fillan, Sören, Deorsa and the mercenary's group at a forest on {{Wiki\|Lanarkshire}}. After untying Deorsa, he explained how the raid would work to the rest of the group. While James and him would go off to kill [[William Heselrig]], the English sheriff of Lanark, Fillan would dispose of [[Bradley Dacre]], an English commander in charge of the garrison nearby. While Sören was wary about the plan, William hoped that with coordination and patience, the revolt would be successful and the Assassins would not be related to the murders by the English. When he announced that they were launching the assault that day, Deorsa was infuriated, but William explained that the element of surprise was of the essence and if they waited longer the people would rise without them.
