'''St. Clair's Defeat''', also known as the '''Battle of the Wabash River''' and the '''Battle of a Thousand Slain''', was a battle fought on November 1791 in the {{Wiki|Northwest Territory}} of the [[United States]] as a result of settler expansion into Native American territory. The [[United States Armed Forces|US army]], led by Major-General [[Arthur St. Clair]] was trounced by the combined forces of the {{Wiki|Northwestern Confederacy}} led by chiefs [[Mihšihkinaahkwa]], [[Weyapiersenwah]] and [[Buckongahelas]], leading to the worst defeat ever recorded at the hands of the Native Americans, where they lost almost a thousand men.<ref name="Wabash">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Battle of the Wabash]]</ref>

In the eve of the battle, [[American Brotherhood of Assassins|Colonial Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] and a few allies arrived at the longhouse being used by the Confederacy, hoping to obtain permission to go to a parley with the American general to try to avoid bloodshed. Mihšihkinaahkwa invited the group to sit and present their case, eventually granting them permission. The following morning, the group proceeded to the enemy camp to speak to St. Clair, unknowing they had been betrayed by a [[Shawnee]] spy, and were met with an ambush. As multiple [[rifle]] barrels were pointed at them, St. Clair addressed the group, claiming to have met [[Haytham Kenway]] and proudly boasting he would have [[Mihšihkinaahkwa's Apple of Eden]] in his possession in a few hours. The general was cut off by muffled gunshots and screams as the Natives attacked the army in the middle of their morning meal, Mihšihkinaahkwa having apparently decided against waiting for the group's return.<ref name="Wabash"/>

Being quickly overwhelmed, St. Clair retreated to [[Fort Jefferson]], having a soldier stay behind to gather his personal belongings. Ratonhnhaké:ton's group, having survived the ambush, entered the general's tent and stole his research, while cries of alarm outside indicated that the soldiers had been completely surrounded.<ref name="Wabash"/>

Formerly part of the [[British Army]] during the [[Seven Years' War]], St. Clair became major general of the [[Continental Army]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]] and later served as President of the [[Continental Congress]], before becoming governor of the {{Wiki|Northwest Territory}} in 1788. In 1791, St. Clair led the American forces in an attempt to conquer the Northwest Territory at a [[St. Clair's Defeat|battle]] at the [[Wabash River]], leading to the the loss of almost a thousand men and worst defeat ever recorded at the hands of the Native Americans, a feat that became widely known as "St. Clair's Defeat".<ref name="Wabash">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Battle of the Wabash]]</ref>

St. Clair, a Templar, had obtained intelligence regarding an [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]] in the possession of [[Mihšihkinaahkwa]] and pushed for an attack, despite a group led by [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] attempting to parley. Though he had prepared an ambush thanks to information from a [[Shawnee]] spy, St. Clair was surprised by the Natives attacking the army in the middle of their morning meal, Mihšihkinaahkwa having apparently decided against waiting for the diplomatic group's return. Being quickly overwhelmed, St. Clair retreated to [[Fort Jefferson]], having a soldier stay behind to gather his personal belongings, however, the group he had attempted to ambush entered his tent and stole all his research.<ref name="Wabash"/>

|-|British Empire=
The course of the 18th Century saw the [[British Empire]] become the [[Earth|world]]'s leading colonial power, with [[France]] and [[Spain]] as its primary rivals. After siding with the [[Netherlands]] and Austria in the [[War of the Spanish Succession]], the British Empire expanded, gaining territories from both Spain and France, and taking over control of the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] [[Slavery|slave trade]] in Spanish America.


|-|Dancers=
For a handful of coin, "Dancers" can be employed to distract guards and interfere with ongoing fights. They might also have some incredible stories of their own to tell, if only you'd bother to listen.


{{Era|Isu|Technology}}
|-|Drunkards=
{{Pre-release|[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]}}
Sailors flush with [[rum]] and the heat of the [[sun]], these Drunkards can be useful in a few ways. First as [[Blending|blend groups]] that allow [[Edward Kenway|Edward]] to hide in plain sight, and secondly as allies in the event of a scuffle. But remember to bring a bit of coin if you want them to fight alongside you, as these [[Piracy|pirates]] won't risk their lives for free.
'''Mihšihkinaahkwa's Apple of Eden''' was one of several [[Apples of Eden]], leftover [[Piece of Eden|pieces of technology]] created by the [[Isu]].


In 1791, the Apple was in possession of [[Mihšihkinaahkwa]], chief of the {{Wiki|Miami people}}. General and [[Templars|Templar]] [[Arthur St. Clair]], having obtained intelligence in regards to the artifact, as well as a possible [[Temple (Isu)|vault]] near [[Prophetstown]], attempted to use the [[United States Armed Forces|United States army]] to defeat Mihšihkinaahkwa and take the Apple for himself. However, St. Clair was forced to retreat to Fort Jefferson, having lost nearly a thousand men in battle and having his research stolen by a group of [[Assassins]] led by [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].<ref name="Wabash">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Battle of the Wabash]]</ref>
|-|Spanish Empire=
Already a global power, the Spanish defeated powerful adversaries such as the Aztecs and Incas in the Americas by exploiting existing conflicts and rivalries between tribes and nations between the 15th and 18th centuries.  


==Appearances==
Acquisitive and protective of the supply of precious metals its new colonies afforded it, the Spanish Empire enthusiastically participated in the Atlantic slave trade and defended its trade routes aggressively.
*''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'' {{Mo}}


==References==
Even after its defeat in the War of the Spanish Succession, the 18th century was nevertheless one of prosperity for the Spanish Empire, as their trade reputation grew steadily under Bourbon oversight, and continued to grow at an extraordinary rate until the 1780s.

|-|Swashbucklers=
{{Pre-release|[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]}}
Often used interchangeably, there are a number of important distinctions to make between these different kinds of swashbucklers...
'''Prophetstown''' was a Native American village located north of present-day {{Wiki|Lafayette, Indiana}}, [[United States]].<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Prophetstown State Park}}</ref> In the 1790s, there were rumors about a [[Temple (Isu)|secret vault]] in the area.<ref name="Wabash">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Battle of the Wabash]]</ref>


==Appearances==
[[Piracy|Pirates]]: Criminals on the open sea who use coercion, intimidation and violence to rob innocent people of their cargo and transport. The term pirate is a catch-all and may be used generally to refer to all who perform acts of larceny on the open ocean. Pirates have been a problem since the advent of long-distance ocean travel; every age has seen its share of pirates, and every age has cursed their name and romanticized their cause. During the so-called "[[Golden Age of Piracy]]" (roughly 1650 to 1725), the majority of pirates were from the [[United Kingdom|British Isles]]. Most were young men in their 20s and almost all had already gained some experience as sailors prior to falling into piracy.
*''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'' {{Mo}}


==References==
Buccaneers: Though often used as a synonym for Pirates now, the term Buccaneer refers more specifically to a group of pirates who lived and operated in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] in the middle of the 17th century. Best known for attacking settlements and fortifications on land in large groups, the Buccaneers derived their name from the [[France|French]] Boucanier -- an instrument used for smoking strips of meat over an open fire, a favorite sort of sustenance for these terrestrial pirates.
{{Reflist}}


{{Era|Timeline}}{{WP-REAL}}
Privateers: Non-commissioned sailors who attack and rob, having been given a Letter of Marque by their King or a royal official such as a Governor. Thus the distance between a Pirate and a Privateer is but a hair's breath of difference -- Pirates simply sail for one [[Monarchy|monarch]] fewer.

The '''Battle of the Monongahela''' was a battle that took place on 9 July 1755 between [[British Army|British forces]] led by General [[Edward Braddock]] and [[French Army|French troops]] led by {{Wiki|Daniel Liénard de Beaujeu}}<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Battle of the Monongahela}}</ref> and aided by a party of Native Americans led by the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Kaniehtí:io]] of the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]].<ref name="Initiates">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' – [[Database: Death of the Dog]]</ref> The ambush led to Braddock's death and marked the end of the [[Braddock Expedition]].<ref name="III">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' – [[The Braddock Expedition (memory)|The Braddock Expedition]]</ref>

During the battle, Washington himself was hit by four bullets and had two horses die under him but survived mostly unscathed,<ref name="George notebook"/> a fact that led a {{Wiki|sachem}} to prophesize Washington would become "the leader of the nations".<ref name="Wabash">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Battle of the Wabash]]</ref>
|-|Taíno=
Taíno refers to a group of related languages and cultures widespread across the Caribbean at the time of European arrival. Broadly speaking, they consisted of the Ciboney or Western Taíno of Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas; the Classic Taíno of Hispaniola and Borikén (the indigenous name of Puerto Rico); and the Eastern Taíno of the Antilles.


==Appearances==
A Taíno cacique or chief demonstrated rank by carrying an object forged from guanín, a unique indigenous alloy made out of copper, silver, and gold, noted for its lustrous shine. The term "tabaco" from which we also derive from a Taíno word, as tobacco was cultivated on the islands and its usage noted by Spanish explorers. Other English words with a Taíno origin include barbecue, canoe, hurricane, iguana, and potato.

A settlement was established by the [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] {{Wiki|Conquistador}} [[Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar]] around 1514. The city sits on a bay that opens to the {{Wiki|Gulf Stream}} and thus became a natural stopping point between [[Europe]] and the [[Americas]].


In 1770,<ref group="note">Mentioned to take place 15 years after the Battle of the Monongahela, which happened in 1755.</ref> [[George Washington]] traveled with some [[soldier]]s to the Kanawha valley to reclaim the land promised to them by the [[United Kingdom|British government]].

In the earliest stages of the [[Golden Age of Piracy|golden age of piracy]] Havana was burnt to the ground by [[France|French]] {{Wiki|French corsairs|corsair}}, [[Jacques de Sores]].

*''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'' {{Mo}}
Originally founded as another [[Charleston|Charles-Towne]], the city was renamed [[Nassau]] in honor of [[William III of England|King William III]] of the {{Wiki|house of Orange-Nassau}}. This city has a particularly colorful past: In 1706 the city's officially appointed Governor skipped town, thus severing the [[British Empire|Crown]]'s direct control over [[the Bahamas]].


==Notes==
The islands languished for almost a decade in the hands of [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Civilians|citizens]] with little or no interest in Statesmanship. By 1713, the entire region had become a haven for [[Piracy|pirates]] and it was in this period that [[Benjamin Hornigold]] declared Nassau to be a pirate republic. He proclaimed himself governor and thereafter every pirate of any sense and reputation used Nassau as a base of operation, transforming this small city of barely 1000 residences into a "nest of infamous bastards", according to the Governor of Bermuda.

Captain '''Tom Phillips''' was the captain of the [[Royal African Company]] [[slavery|slave]] [[ship]] ''[[Black Ivory]]'' in the early 1720s. After a long career as part of the [[Royal Navy]], he decided to work in a more lucrative field. Described as capable and charismatic, Phillips was someone who cared little about the nature of his cargo or the safety of his crew, only seeking to put aside enough money for a peaceful retirement.<ref name="Boarding">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Boarding of the Black Ivory]]</ref>


In 1722, the ''Black Ivory'' was used as bait for [[Edward Kenway]] and [[Adéwalé]] by [[Templars|Templar]] [[Jeffrey Bloodworth]], who meant to eliminate the pair using his [[Royal Bounty|own ship]] while the ''[[Jackdaw]]'' and the ''Black Ivory'' were occupied with each other. Phillips and his crew defended his ship bravely, though despite having superior numbers compared to the attacking Jackdaw, their losses were severe. Phillips wished to keep fighting but was knocked out by his crew, who had had enough of the bloodshed, allowing the pirates to comandeer the ship.<ref name="Boarding"/>

It is not known how early Ah Tabai acquired the title of Mentor, nor how large his impact was on the [[Assassins]] of the [[Caribbean|West Indies]]. However, that he maintained semi-regular contact with the [[American Brotherhood of Assassins|Assassins in the British colonies]] to the north, in various parts of [[Europe]] and [[Africa]], and in [[China]]. He was instrumental in opening his branch to men and women from all walks of life - mostly Europeans, Africans, and those Native to the area.


|-|The Nemean Claw=
As a native Mayan himself, rumors and stories of the ancient [[Observatory (Isu)|Observatory]] were not foreign to Ah Tabai. So when in 1713 rumors of [[Bartholomew Roberts|a new "Sage"]] began to surface, Ah Tabai took it upon himself to locate the man, believing the Assassins should be the protectors of the ancient and mysterious place. He sent word far and wide to as many Assassin outposts as possible, hoping their network of spies and informants would lead them to their prize. But after two years, there was no word.

Then, in early 1715, an experienced British Assassin named [[Duncan Walpole]] arrived at Ah Tabai's encampment, initially expressing a desire to train under the Mentor directly. Ah Tabai found the request odd but flattering, for Walpole had already achieved a level of Mastery few assassins ever reached. After many months of intensive training, Ah Tabai came to consider Duncan Walpole as one of his most trusted colleagues.

Then in June of 1715, word arrived that the [[Templars]] had located and imprisoned the [[Sages|Sage]] on [[Spain|Spanish]] lands in the far south.

The pair arrived in [[Nassau]] in April of 1716, settling down with an unclear idea of what shape their lives might take.

And though she took on a few lovers in the next few years, it was mostly out of envy and spite that the rabble of Nassau branded Anne a harlot and a tease.

If this was indeed the case, Ed Thatch would have seen his fair share of the [[War of Spanish Succession]], a protracted fight between most of the Empires of [[Europe]] that pitted Hapsburg Austia and its British ally against Bourbon France and Spain. In these early years, from 1700 to 1713, Thatch was a privateer or at the very least a merchant seaman, doing his part for the crown—[[Anne, Queen of Great Britain|Queen Anne]] at the time.

But with the [[Peace of Utrecht|Treaty of Utrecht]] bestowing peace upon a troubled [[Europe]] in 1713, Thatch and his fellow sailors found themselves far from home and out of work.

In the ensuing years, Thatch befriended a captain named [[Benjamin Hornigold]] and soon after joined his crew as quartermaster, at some point between late 1714 and early 1716.

This relocation had a depressing effect on young Edward's mood. He grew restless from a lack of contact with old friends and struggled to find an outlet for his limitless energy.

Even though not yet out of his teens, James Kidd was a cocky and confident lad with a brashness cultivated to counter his youth. He claimed to be the bastard son of the late [[William Kidd]], the infamous privateer-turned-[[Piracy|pirate]] who was captured and hanged by [[United Kingdom|British]] authorities in 1701. Although James had no proof of this connection, his mother always insisted on it, claiming that she spent a single "panicked night of passion" with Captain Kidd just before his departure from London in 1695.

Growing up fatherless and with a spendthrift mother did little to improve his prospects at leading a normal life, and at the age of 12 he found employment aboard merchant vessels sailing between the British colonies in [[North America]] and the [[Caribbean|West Indies]]. By the time he was 17 he called [[Jamaica]] his home, where he further honed his skills as a sailor here.

Of all the infamous [[Caribbean|West Indies]] [[Piracy|pirates]], [[Mary Read]] stands out as one of the most mysterious and inscrutable. No one is sure when she was born, with most speculation ranging over almost a decade, between 1685 and 1695. According to [[Charles Johnson]]—a frequently unreliable source—her mother began dressing Mary in boy's clothes from a very early age, with the hope of passing her off as another man's son.

In her teens, Mary evidently harnessed her skill for disguise to secure a job aboard a [[ship]]. Taking to sea, she worked her way forward until she found a position in the [[Royal Navy|British Navy]]. Still disguised as a man, she saw action in battle, though owing to the conflicting reports of her birth, which battle is uncertain. It was during these skirmishes that Mary met her first husband—so the author of the "General History of Pyrates" claims—a Flemish soldier who had evidently fought beside her.

But this union was not fated to remain intact, as Mary's husband was killed soon after their marriage. With few reasons to remain in [[Europe]], Mary sailed for the West Indies. It is unclear what transpired in the years following, but it is almost certain that she resumed the practice of dressing as a man. It is also assumed Mary continued working aboard ships, improving her skills as a sailor and swordsman.

Most assume he went to sea at a very young age -- at 13 or so -- but there is no record of him in any historical documents until his noted appearance in 1718 aboard a merchant's ship, [[Barbados|Barbadian]] in origin. Just a year later Roberts was pressed into [[piracy]] by the notorious [[Howell Davis]] while working aboard [[Princess|a slave ship]] under Captain Abraham Plumb.

'''Cudjoe's Town''' was a [[Maroons|Maroon]] settlement in western [[Jamaica]].

By the end of 1707, however, his business had suffered great losses by [[raid]]ing [[France|French]] forces, giving Rogers the idea to recoup these dreadful losses himself. Knocking about Bristol in search of a partner for this endeavor, he soon found himself in the company of [[William Dampier]], an old friend and unlucky [[Captain]] who suggested setting out on a [[privateer]]ing expedition, one that would range far and wide about the [[Americas|New World]]. In 1708, Rogers made the necessary arrangements and set out as Captain of his own vessel, on a difficult voyage that would last over three years.

Along this course Rogers met with many successes and failures.

Soon after Selkirk's recovery, Rogers' fleet engaged an enemy vessel in open combat—a skirmish that earned him a [[pistol]] shot to the left side of his face and a mangled heel. Neither wound was enough to remove him from command however, and he continued serving as captain until his return to England in late 1711.

[[File:ACLD Locus - British Museum.png|thumb|250px|The British Museum in 1872]]
The '''British Museum''' is a public museum dedicated to human history and culture located in London, England. First established in 1753, it currently houses one of the largest collections in the world.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|British Museum}}</ref> The building first used by the museum was the {{Wiki|Montagu House, Bloomsbury|Montagu House}} built in 1675 by [[Ralph Montagu, 1st Duke of Montagu]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Database: Montagu House]]</ref>
 
Construction of the building that would replace the Montagu House began in the 1820s at the same location,<ref name="Wiki"/> and the museum was closed to the public, with only a few sections open to scholars. By 1861, the new building had already been unveiled and the museum reopened.Among its many features figured a new reading room as well as sections dedicated to housing artifacts from the Romans, the Assyrians and the Egyptians. The museum lacked candles or lamps for fear of a fire and remained open only until natural light from the outside permitted, with some days having to close early due to the London fog.<ref name ="Magus">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 19</ref>
 
==History==
===19th century===
[[File:ACLD Locus - Mark Twain before the British Museum map|left|thumb|250px|Mark Twain near the museum's map]]
In October 1861, after his return to London, [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Simeon Price]] read a short news item on {{Wiki|The Times}} about an Assyrian eye artifact being discovered amidst the museum's recent acquisitions from excavations at {{Wiki|Nimrud}}, [[Mesopotamia]]. Expecting the news to be a trap set by his former mentor [[Oscar Kane]], Simeon had his protégé [[Pierrette Arnaud]] visit the [[Crystal Palace]] while going to the British Museum by himself. At the museum, Simeon found Kane and was given the ultimatum of either joining Kane or being arrested for desertion as he had already summoned the police. While trying to escape, Simeon broke his leg and was ultimately arrested.<ref name ="Magus"/>
 
In 1872, the museum was discovered to hold pages of the [[Voynich manuscript]] by the [[American Rite of the Templar Order]], as well as by  [[Horace Greeley]], who had a mole amidst [[Ulysses S. Grant]]'s administration. The [[Templars]] had their field agent [[Alice (Templar)|Alice]] travel to London after the pages.  A first attempt by her to recover them was seemingly foiled by [[Mark Twain]], [[Pinkerton]] detective [[Tommy Greyling]] and Sergeant [[Frederick Abberline]], though she managed to evade capture through the museum's rooftops.<ref name="Locus 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus 1|Issue #01]]</ref> The next day the group, aided by Assassins [[Evie Frye]] and [[Jayadeep Mir]], would learn that the chase was a distraction: while Alice was on the rooftops, she had crooked constable [[Niall Hobday]] retrieve the personal details of Head Clerk of Acquisitions [[Edward Feather]]. Needing to locate the item quickly, she kidnapped and tortured Feather until he told her the number of the box where the pages had been archived.<ref name="Locus 2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus 2|Issue #02]]</ref>
[[File:ACLocus - Tommy and Evie confronts Alice.jpg|thumb|250px|Alice being confronted in the Reading Room]]
After setting a trap at a slaughterhouse, Alice returned to the museum, accompannied by several [[Blighters]], and searched the Aquisitions Department managing to locate the pages before being confronted by the Assassins and the police. While the Blighters and the others traded shots in the department, she attempted to slip away but was stopped by Evie and Tommy at the museum's reading room. Alice then threw a smoke bomb, which forced Evie to stay behind and attempt to control any fire that could arise from a stray spark while she slipped away, pursued by Tommy.<ref name="Locus 3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus 3|Issue #03]]</ref>
 
Also in the mid-to-late 1800s, the museum exhibited a mysterious ancient artifact that attracted the attention of both Assassins and Templars, though an Assassin-affiliated group managed to swap the artifact for a counterfeit and hide the original.<ref name="ACRPG">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – Jacob & Evie Frye: Adventure Hook 4</ref>

The group managed to subdue their attacker, removing another [[Ring of Blood|ring]] from their finger, but the time that took allowed for the cameras to reactivate and the alarm to begin blaring. With guards and local [[police]] on their way, the  Crew nonetheless managed to leave the museum without being apprehended.<ref name="Hackney Diamonds"/>

==History==
===Creation===
As part of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Liberation of Rome|campaign]] against the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] in the early 1500s, a number of [[Switzerland|Swiss]] mercenaries working for the [[Papal Guard]] were kidnapped and delivered to [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor]] in [[Vienna]], who promptly had them employed as trainers for his army. Considering their ability to best the Swiss, Maximilian also requested Assassin input and they returned to the city disguised as ''condotierri''. The two groups, along with Maximilian's finest knight [[Georg von Frundsberg]], created a rigorous training method meant to train an infantry strong enough to rival to rival the Swiss. Having formed the first Landsknechte, considered then a powerful force more loyal to commander than coin, Maximilian offered the Assassins a regiment of the best among them, should the Assassins ever need the help.<ref name="Contracts PL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Contracts (Project Legacy)|Contracts]]: Vienna, Austria: "Raising an Army"</ref><ref name="Contracts Bh">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' – [[Contracts (Italian Brotherhood)|Contracts]]: Vienna: "Raising an Army"</ref>

The '''Roman Kingdom''', also referred to as the '''Roman monarchy''',<ref name="Origins">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Fall of an Empire, Rise of Another]]</ref> was the earliest period of [[Roman civilization|Roman]] history, beginning with the [[Rome|city]]'s founding c. 753 BCE<ref name="Timeline">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Animus Handbook]]'' – Key Events Overview</ref> and ending with the overthrow of the kings and the establishment of the [[Roman Republic|Republic]] c. 510 BCE.<ref name="Roma DB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' – [[Database: Roma]]</ref><ref>{{WP|Roman Kingdom}}</ref>
 
==History==
Archaeological evidence points to Rome beginning from pastoral settlements on [[Palatine Hill]], while [[Roman mythology|myths]] tell of the city's founding by [[Romulus]] and [[Remus]], who had been raised in the nearby cave of {{Wiki|Lupercal}} by a she-wolf.<ref name="Roma DB"/> At some point before 753 BCE, Romulus infiltrated the residence of King [[Amulius]] of {{Wiki|Alba Longa}} to free Remus from imprisonment and assassinate Amulius.<ref name="Amulius">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – Historical Hooks: "The Assassination of Amulius"</ref> In 753 BCE, the twins fought to the death due to irreconcilable views about Rome and the [[Excalibur|Sword of Mars]], with Romulus killing Remus and becoming the first king of Rome.<ref name="Timeline"/> Romulus then used the sword's powers to conquer and build his kingdom.<ref name="Supplementary">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – Supplementary material: "Romulus and Remus, and the Sword of Mars"</ref> A {{Wiki|Sabines|Sabine}} settlement at [[Quirinal Hill]] was assimilated by Rome in the 7th century BCE.<ref name="Quirinale">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' – [[Database: Colle Quirinale]]</ref> The nearby town of [[Fidenae]] was also conquered by the Roman army, an event seen as key to the expansion of early Rome.<ref name="Fidenae">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – Historical Hooks: "The Conquest of Fidenae"</ref>
 
In 717 BCE, after reigning for decades, Romulus softened towards his brother's vision of free will, also realizing that Rome had become corrupted by the desire for order and supremacy.<ref name="Timeline"/> That very year, some of the senators, ''pater familias'', and militia captains, unhappy with Romulus's politics and manipulated by the [[Cult of Uni]], plotted to [[Assassination|assassinate]] the king. Members of the [[Shields of Mars]], a group formed by Romulus' followers, killed the mastermind behind the plan.<ref name="Conspiracy">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The First Conspiracy]]</ref> An attempt on the king's life the next still happened, though it was easily foiled.<ref name="Wolves">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Of Wolves and Men]]</ref> Romulus was accused of tyranny and despotism as discontent simmered among the citizens,<ref name="Trial">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – Historical Hooks: "The Trial of Romulus"</ref> he disappeared, instructing his followers to act in secret to defend free will.<ref name="Timeline"/> Romulus was then succeeded by [[Numa Pompilius]].<ref name="Cards">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'' – [[Cards (Roleplaying Game)|Cards]]: Numa Pompilius</ref>

Transcription[edit | edit source]

For a handful of coin, "Dancers" can be employed to distract guards and interfere with ongoing fights. They might also have some incredible stories of their own to tell, if only you'd bother to listen.

Sailors flush with rum and the heat of the sun, these Drunkards can be useful in a few ways. First as blend groups that allow Edward to hide in plain sight, and secondly as allies in the event of a scuffle. But remember to bring a bit of coin if you want them to fight alongside you, as these pirates won't risk their lives for free.

Already a global power, the Spanish defeated powerful adversaries such as the Aztecs and Incas in the Americas by exploiting existing conflicts and rivalries between tribes and nations between the 15th and 18th centuries. Acquisitive and protective of the supply of precious metals its new colonies afforded it, the Spanish Empire enthusiastically participated in the Atlantic slave trade and defended its trade routes aggressively. Even after its defeat in the War of the Spanish Succession, the 18th century was nevertheless one of prosperity for the Spanish Empire, as their trade reputation grew steadily under Bourbon oversight, and continued to grow at an extraordinary rate until the 1780s.

Often used interchangeably, there are a number of important distinctions to make between these different kinds of swashbucklers... Pirates: Criminals on the open sea who use coercion, intimidation and violence to rob innocent people of their cargo and transport. The term pirate is a catch-all and may be used generally to refer to all who perform acts of larceny on the open ocean. Pirates have been a problem since the advent of long-distance ocean travel; every age has seen its share of pirates, and every age has cursed their name and romanticized their cause. During the so-called "Golden Age of Piracy" (roughly 1650 to 1725), the majority of pirates were from the British Isles. Most were young men in their 20s and almost all had already gained some experience as sailors prior to falling into piracy. Buccaneers: Though often used as a synonym for Pirates now, the term Buccaneer refers more specifically to a group of pirates who lived and operated in the West Indies in the middle of the 17th century. Best known for attacking settlements and fortifications on land in large groups, the Buccaneers derived their name from the French Boucanier -- an instrument used for smoking strips of meat over an open fire, a favorite sort of sustenance for these terrestrial pirates. Privateers: Non-commissioned sailors who attack and rob, having been given a Letter of Marque by their King or a royal official such as a Governor. Thus the distance between a Pirate and a Privateer is but a hair's breath of difference -- Pirates simply sail for one monarch fewer.

Taíno refers to a group of related languages and cultures widespread across the Caribbean at the time of European arrival. Broadly speaking, they consisted of the Ciboney or Western Taíno of Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas; the Classic Taíno of Hispaniola and Borikén (the indigenous name of Puerto Rico); and the Eastern Taíno of the Antilles. A Taíno cacique or chief demonstrated rank by carrying an object forged from guanín, a unique indigenous alloy made out of copper, silver, and gold, noted for its lustrous shine. The term "tabaco" from which we also derive from a Taíno word, as tobacco was cultivated on the islands and its usage noted by Spanish explorers. Other English words with a Taíno origin include barbecue, canoe, hurricane, iguana, and potato. Other, non-Taíno indigenous groups of the island include the Ciguaya, Macorix, and Kalinago or Caribs, for whom the Caribbean Sea is named.

There were several attempts to found a town near the Havana Bay in the early 1500s. A settlement was established by the Spanish Conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar around 1514. The city sits on a bay that opens to the Gulf Stream and thus became a natural stopping point between Europe and the Americas. In the earliest stages of the golden age of piracy Havana was burnt to the ground by French corsair, Jacques de Sores. By the 1700s, Havana had become a large, heavily fortified port city where Spanish treasure ships would dock on their way to Europe. Pirates lurked on the approaches to the city, hoping to capture these same ships.

Originally founded as another Charles-Towne, the city was renamed Nassau in honor of King William III of the house of Orange-Nassau. This city has a particularly colorful past: In 1706 the city's officially appointed Governor skipped town, thus severing the Crown's direct control over the Bahamas. The islands languished for almost a decade in the hands of British citizens with little or no interest in Statesmanship. By 1713, the entire region had become a haven for pirates and it was in this period that Benjamin Hornigold declared Nassau to be a pirate republic. He proclaimed himself governor and thereafter every pirate of any sense and reputation used Nassau as a base of operation, transforming this small city of barely 1000 residences into a "nest of infamous bastards", according to the Governor of Bermuda.

Dating generally from the Mayan Classic period (AD 250 - 900), most Mayan ruins can be found throughout the Yucatán peninsula and Central America. Mayan Temples have steep stone steps and a platform at the top for wooden crowning structures. Mayan architecture is composed with a sophisticated eye to decoration, often using wall paintings and elaborate bas-relief stone carvings. Mayan arches forego the use of a keystone, instead creating a triangle-like arch known as a corbel vault.

The Governor's Mansion housed the acting Spanish governor in addition to prison facilities. A new governor's mansion was constructed across the square in 1791.

This drinking spot, named after "The King of Pirates" Henry Avery, was highly popular among gritty seafarers in the early 18th century. Legend had it that Avery himself once had a financial stake in several establishments throughout the West Indies, but that appears to be nothing more than self-promotion.

The schooner was a class of ship used as a general sailing vessel by both navies and civilian operators, providing light firepower and ample speed.

The brig was a class of ship bearing two square-rigged masts, and represented a compromise between larger, more powerful ships, and the faster, but less well-armed ones.

The man o' war was a type of large warship purpose built for warfare, boasting multiple gun decks, and crewed by heavily armed professional soldiers.

El Dorado was a brig that formed part of the Spanish Treasure Fleet. The fleet was destroyed in a hurricane, with the El Dorado its lone surviving vessel.

The Jackdaw was a brig captained by the pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway, who named it after the small, swift bird of his native Wales. The ship was known as El Dorado before Edward and his future quartermaster Adéwalé captured it from its fleet.

The Royal Fortune was a man o' war captained by the pirate and Sage Bartholomew Roberts, who elected to keep and renamed it after he captured it as the Nosso Senhor da Compreensão from the Portuguese Navy.

In the Americas, the term ‘black panther’ generally refers to a melanistic jaguar. They are not a separate species, but a color morph of the spotted form. Black jaguars form less than ten percent of jaguars. Black jaguars can be found in Isla Providencia and Pinos Isle.

The cat is a small carnivorous mammal with a flexible body, sharp claws, and quick reflexes. Cats have long been domesticated, and are favored as pets for their affectionate independence, and playful natures. Sailors often keep cats aboard ships to deal with rats and other vermin.

The Crocodile is a large, tropical-dwelling tetrapod. Crocodiles can measure up to 15 feet long, weigh 2000 pounds, and live to be 70 years old. This prehistoric-looking predator preys on birds, fish, insects and other reptiles. Crocodiles have been known to indulge in cannibalistic behaviour. Because of this, they live in groupings of the same size. Not to be confused with alligators, crocodiles are bigger, lighter in color, and have narrower snouts. Although known to attack humans, the crocodile is more likely to flee than to react aggressively when approached. Crocodiles are most commonly found in Nassau, Long Bay, and Matanzas.

Deer are large hoofed ruminants notable for having two large and two small hooves on each foot. Males have antlers while the females do not, with the exception of a single species where the females also grow antlers. Deer are selective feeders, eating plant food low in fiber content and high in protein such as young grass, herbs, woody shoots, and bark. Various subspecies of deer can be found in the Caribbean bioregion. The red brocket deer, for example, is found in Trinidad and Tobago and the Key deer, introduced by colonists, inhabits the Florida Keys. Deer are most commonly found in Kingston, Salt Lagoon, and Santanillas.

Frigate birds are large seabirds with long wings, forked tails, and slender bodies. They generally inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans, often nesting on remote islands. Frigate birds are skilled fliers, and are known to steal food from other seabirds.

Found across the world in tropical and temperate waters, the hammerhead's unusual head shape gives it increased sensory ability to detect its prey. The hammerhead does not attack humans, although it can be lethal if provoked. Hammerhead sharks can be found in the Eleuthera and Gibara regions.

Considered one of the loudest animals on earth, the small-sized Howler Monkey generates a siren-like howl that can be heard from a distance of 3 miles (5km). They are not aggressive and are popular as pets in The West Indies. Howler monkeys are most commonly found in Kingston, Cape Bonavista, and Long Bay.

The hutia is a large rodent unique to the Caribbean basin which varies in size, and can form distinct species from island to island. Hutias are often hunted by locals to be eaten in a spiced stew. Hutias are most commonly found in Cayman Sound and Long Bay.

Iguanas are large, herbivorous lizards found throughout the Caribbean islands. The common iguana eats only leaves, flowers and fruit. Despite their at times fierce appearance they are not aggressive, and typically flee when threatened. However, they can lash their tails and bite if provoked. Iguana are found in Great Inagua, Andreas Island, and Abaco Island.

The largest feline in the Western hemisphere, the jaguar is distinguished by its compact and powerful build, its agility, and its unique killing method of biting directly into the skull to pierce the brain. The Mayans believed that the jaguars could carry messages to and from the afterworld. Jaguars are most commonly found in Cape Bonavista, Long Bay, Tulum, and Principe.

Although related to sharks, manta rays are harmless. They can be quite large (up to 30 ft (9m) wide) and feed on small fish and plankton, funneling food into their mouth using cephalic flaps extending from the eyes. Manta rays, which are found all over the world, have the unique ability to leap from the water into the air to escape attackers.

Monkeys in the Caribbean are primarily an introduced African species called the green monkey, although up to the 17th Century these still shared territory with the now extinct Jamaican monkey. Both species were omnivores that ate a variety of foraged foods including fruit, seeds, flowers, insects, and smaller animals like frogs and birds. Monkeys were viewed as pests by farmers as they continually raided crops, but were favoured by locals and sailors who adopted them as mischievous, intelligent pets.

The ocelot is a wild cat that typically has yellow fur with dark stripes in the manner of a jaguar. Ocelots are nocturnal and range from the size of domestic cats up to four feet (1.2 meters) in length. Ocelot hides are coveted by leather workers for their ease of working, patterned fur, soft texture, and durability. Ocelots can be found in Cumberland Bay and Abaco Island.

The Caribbean basin provides an excellent climate for both land and sea turtles. Turtles are reptiles with a hard, protective upper shell called a carapace. Although they are natural swimmers and can stay submerged for up to 7 hours while resting, turtles breathe air. Despite being awkward and slow moving on land, they go ashore to lay their eggs.

White coats in animals can be due to a specific genetic mutation or albinism. The genetic mutation that yields a white jaguar also results in a more aggressive animal, making them dangerous as well as rare. White jaguars can be found at Great Inagua.

The wild pig, or boar, is a large cousin of the domesticated pig covered by hairy bristles. They were introduced by Europeans to the Caribbean basin (Columbus himself brought eight pigs with him from Spain). Wild pigs flourished in the island environment and were hunted by sailors and pirates to provide salted pork on their voyages. Wild pigs are most commonly found in Nassau, Great Inagua, and Cape Bonavista.

So-called because of their short snouts and their tendency to head-butt prey, bull sharks are commonly found in warm, shallow waters. They are extremely aggressive and dangerous to humans. The females are larger than the males, and adults measure well over seven feet (2.15m) long. Bull sharks can be found in the Dry Tortuga, Gibara, and Punta Guarico regions.

Found throughout Central and South America, capuchin monkeys are small and highly intelligent. They eat almost anything -- nuts, fruits, small birds, frogs, clams, etc. Many pirates favored capuchins as pets. Capuchins can be found in Matanzas and Misteriosa.

The largest predatory fish in the world, the great white's lethal aspect is due to its nearly 300 serrated teeth arranged in rows. Great whites have been known to attack humans, but usually more out of curiosity than hunger -- "sample biting" and then releasing their victims. The great white reaches an average length of 15 feet (4.6m). Great white sharks can be found in the Cruz and Serranilla regions.

Known for emitting complex sequences of haunting moans, the humpback is a large whale that reaches up to 62 feet (19 meters) in length. They migrate from the poles to the equator seasonally and travel in pods. Humpback whales can be found in the Castillo De Jagua and Navassa regions.

Called the Grampus by sailors in the 18th century, the killer whale, or Orca, is part of the dolphin family. Known for their ferociously deadly predation, killer whales feast on seals, sea-lions and even other whales. They hunt in pods in the manner of wolf packs and are found throughout the world's seas. Killer whales can be found in the Cruz and Conttoyor regions.

Red howler monkeys can be located on Isla Providencia.

Born: 1692, Trinidad

Died: Unknown

Born to enslaved Ogoni parents in Yoruba, Adéwalé was sold to the owner of a prosperous plantation before his teens. He remained on this plantation, working the fields, until his mid teens, always scheming of ways to escape his predicament, but uneasy with the prospect of living life as a fugitive.

Then fortune struck, giving Adéwalé the sign he needed. At some point near his 16th birthday, a group of buccaneers raided the plantation, robbing it of raw cane, refined sugar, and as many reales as they could find. Seeing in this an opportunity, Adé grabbed a crate of sugar and hauled it aboard one of the longboats the buccaneers had rowed ashore. Surprised to see a slave among them, the buccaneers were nevertheless thankful for the aid, and welcomed Adé among them.

Adé sailed with this first group of men for many years, quickly learning the ways of a seaman, grateful for the chance to develop his own skills and chase his own passions. And though his life among buccaneers was not free of the usual bigotry of the era, Adé found the prejudice to be more confrontational than restrictive.

In 1715, misfortune struck a cruel blow when the ship Adé was aboard, struck a shallow sandbar near the port of Havana. The buccaneers—mostly British at the time—tried desperately to free the trapped vessel, but after catching sight of an approaching Spanish Galleon, abandoned ship only to be torn apart by schools of circling bull sharks. Adé made peace with his fate, and stood his ground.

Taken to Havana for questioning and inspection, Spanish authorities eventually decided to send Adéwalé to Spain, where they felt he would make an excellent interpreter, owing to his fluent command of Spanish, English, and French. Some weeks later, they loaded him into of the Galleons that made up their perennial treasure convoy, en route to Seville.

Born: 1660s, Yucatan Peninsula
Died: c.1745, Yucatan Peninsula Named for the Mayan god of hunting, Ah Tabai's given name remains a mystery, and very little is known about his earliest decades. The only child he is known to have fathered died before the age of ten. What little else we know about him comes from his own mouth; from the stories he told those who knew him. When speaking about his own past, he avoids personal details in favor of abstractions and hints. He frequently speaks of his love and admiration for the tragic history of his people, and used these stories to illustrate the complex intersections of cultures and religions, frequently pointing out the fact that "From within and without come enemies and allies alike. Nothing in life is guaranteed, except surprise..." It is not known how early Ah Tabai acquired the title of Mentor, nor how large his impact was on the Assassins of the West Indies. However, that he maintained semi-regular contact with the Assassins in the British colonies to the north, in various parts of Europe and Africa, and in China. He was instrumental in opening his branch to men and women from all walks of life - mostly Europeans, Africans, and those Native to the area. As a native Mayan himself, rumors and stories of the ancient Observatory were not foreign to Ah Tabai. So when in 1713 rumors of a new "Sage" began to surface, Ah Tabai took it upon himself to locate the man, believing the Assassins should be the protectors of the ancient and mysterious place. He sent word far and wide to as many Assassin outposts as possible, hoping their network of spies and informants would lead them to their prize. But after two years, there was no word. Then, in early 1715, an experienced British Assassin named Duncan Walpole arrived at Ah Tabai's encampment, initially expressing a desire to train under the Mentor directly. Ah Tabai found the request odd but flattering, for Walpole had already achieved a level of Mastery few assassins ever reached. After many months of intensive training, Ah Tabai came to consider Duncan Walpole as one of his most trusted colleagues. Then in June of 1715, word arrived that the Templars had located and imprisoned the Sage on Spanish lands in the far south. Seeing an opportunity to cripple his arch-enemies, Ah Tabai entrusted Duncan Walpole with the task of rallying various Assassins around the West Indies and leading an assault on the Templar prison ship en route to Havana. Duncan Walpole agreed to this task... and was never heard from again. It was only after Edward Kenway's disastrous meddling in Havana that Ah Tabai was made aware of the full extent of Walpole's betrayal.

Born: 1702, Ireland
Died: Unknown Anne was barely a teen when she left her native Cork in Ireland for the British colonies, and by sixteen she was en route to West Indies at side of her new husband, Mr. Jack Bonny, a gentle but sturdy young man in his early 20s. The pair arrived in Nassau in April of 1716, settling down with an unclear idea of what shape their lives might take. Jack eventually found work on one of the small plantations there, while Anne cultivated her ability to loaf and daydream. Unfortunately, her beauty, aloofness, and complete indifference to propriety made her the object of more romantic attention than she had ever known or cared for. Within a year of arriving in Nassau, the Bonnys' marriage was in shambles, a union only in name. While Jack disappeared further into his work, Anne grew more confident and sociable, eventually taking a job as a barmaid at the popular Old Avery tavern in the center of Nassau. And though she took on a few lovers in the next few years, it was mostly out of envy and spite that the rabble of Nassau branded Anne a harlot and a tease. But with no high society to shun or shame her, Anne's desirability only increased on the strength of these rumors.

orn: 1680, England
Died: ???? Known variously by different sources as Thatch, Teach, Theach, Tache, Titche, Teatch, Tack, and more, we are fairly certain Edward Thatch was born in or around Bristol and took to the sea at an early age, most likely in his teens. It is also speculated that he arrived in the West Indies quite soon after leaving England. If this was indeed the case, Ed Thatch would have seen his fair share of the War of Spanish Succession, a protracted fight between most of the Empires of Europe that pitted Hapsburg Austia and its British ally against Bourbon France and Spain. In these early years, from 1700 to 1713, Thatch was a privateer or at the very least a merchant seaman, doing his part for the crown—Queen Anne at the time. But with the Treaty of Utrecht bestowing peace upon a troubled Europe in 1713, Thatch and his fellow sailors found themselves far from home and out of work. Thus, they turned to piracy as a means of sustaining themselves. In the ensuing years, Thatch befriended a captain named Benjamin Hornigold and soon after joined his crew as quartermaster, at some point between late 1714 and early 1716. Settling in Nassau, Thatch, Hornigold, and the rest of the "Flying Gang" as these pirates called themselves, began cooking up schemes far larger than most pirates of the era dared dream. Wanting nothing less than a country of their own, they worked to turn Nassau into a place of liberty and freedom for all who desired an escape from the bonds of imperial rule.

Born: 1693, Wales
Died: ???? Edward James Kenway was born on the 10th of March in Swansea, Wales, to Bernard Kenway of Manchester and Linette Hopkins of nearby Cardiff. By Edward's 10th birthday, his father had moved the family to a small farm just outside Bristol, a nearby port town in the southwest of England. This relocation had a depressing effect on young Edward's mood. He grew restless from a lack of contact with old friends and struggled to find an outlet for his limitless energy. By his teens he was spending more and more time in the city away from his farm, where the lure of excitement overrode prudence. By age sixteen, he had substituted a career as a successful farmer for a life of hopeless tomfoolery, frequently shirking his responsibilities to his family in favor of rough company. In late 1711, at the age of seventeen, Edward met Caroline Scott, a woman of modest but steady means. Their friendship began cautiously, as Caroline's hand had already been promised to the boorish son of a wealthy East India Company executive. But Edward's charms eventually won out, and he and Caroline were married within a year of their meeting; a union that angered her father, and got the whole of Bristol talking. In the earliest months of their marriage, Edward resolved to do well by his wife and provide for her as he believed a man in his position should. But his grandiose dreams and exaggerated opinion of himself prevented him from taking immediate responsibility for their well-being. And after only a year, he had stumbled back into his worst habits - drinking, fighting and idleness. It was in this dark period that Edward revived an old idea of joining a privateering fleet sailing for the West Indies, with the aim of making war against the Spanish and collecting unchecked sums of gold and cargo. This, he told his wife, was their path to quick riches. Being a sensible and prudent woman, Caroline discouraged these fanciful ideas. By the summer of 1712, Caroline understood that her husband's departure was inevitable. She wanted no further part of Edward's reckless plan, and so left him to live with her parents. Stunned by this sudden turn, Edward was determined to earn his fortune fast and prove himself as capable as he always claimed he was. He left for the West Indies barely one month later, where he soon fell in with the privateer Benjamin Hornigold and his quartermaster, Ed Thatch. Edward spent the first half of 1713 sailing with these two seasoned sailors, on regular sweeps of the windward passage. But that year, fate threw him another upset. With the signing of the treaty of Utrecht, all hostile actions between the major empires came to an end and the prospects of British privateers dried up. Now poor, unemployed, and thousands of miles from home, Edward and his colleagues settled on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas to reconsider their options. These were fanciful days for Edward. He discovered in the small town of Nassau a life quite unlike that which he had left behind. The atmosphere of wild and noisy freedom in this small stateless encampment overwhelmed and captivated him. The drinking, the gaming, the women, the aimless desire to simply live as one pleased. And yet, as carefree as he was, his beloved Caroline was never far from his mind. If he could make something of himself in the West Indies—working a sugar plantation, perhaps—he might win her back after all his time away. But in absence of true conviction, habit takes hold fast; and it was only a matter of time before Edward set back out to sea with his mates, to live the life they knew best; no longer privateers—legal and sanctioned—but as pirates now, with nary a whit of loyalty to kin and country, earning his fortune by the sword and pistol, praying his end was never too near.

Born: 1682, Jamaica
Died: ???? Of the few infamous pirates to call the West Indies his birthplace, Jack Rackham was born in Jamaica at the height of Port Royal's boom as a den of scoundrels. This would likely explain his atrophied moral compass, for he was frequently drunk, rarely serious about anything, and always chasing women. He used his outrageous and offensive charm to keep out of most trouble. But a strategist and fighter he was not. Nicknamed "Calico" for his affinity for Indian and Asian prints, he was a terrible sailor and a worse pirate, given to flights of fancy and myopic ideas that served only himself, rather than solid strategic thinking. He was likely drunk for half of his adulthood, and had a weakness for women that trumped all basic needs, such as sleeping or eating. His disarming charm, dashing good looks, and his swift wit carried him far, but parties can only last so long before someone has to clean up after them.

Born: 1691, England
Died: ???? Daughter of Emmett and Elizabeth Scott, Caroline was born in Bristol, England, to a prosperous family of merchants and civil servants. Given a modest education by her father, she furthered her own studies in her own way, taking time to read as often as her familiar duties allowed. Splitting her time between this and helping her mother manage her father's affairs, she grew into a confident and level-headed woman with more skill and intelligence than her situation allowed her to exercise. Caroline first met Edward Kenway outside the Auld Shillelagh, in the aftermath of a drunken altercation. She had arrived to fetch one of her servants and there found Edward escorting the woman from the clutches of one of Bristol's more notorious cads. Thankful for his kindness, Caroline agreed to a second meeting on more equitable terms, hardly thinking a romance possible. And yet—against all odds—that is just what happened. Edward and Caroline grew quite close, and soon fell in love, quite much to the dismay of her father. Emmett Scott had already promised his daughter to the son of a wealthy East India Company executive, and made his displeasure apparent at every turn. But all his noise was to no avail. Caroline and Edward were married in 1712. For a time it seemed as though this odd pairing might produce a lasting union. But Edward's deep love for his wife was offset by his uncouth habits and reckless attention to responsibility. Not content to live a life of middle class drudgery, Edward dreamed large, and fixed on the idea that he could sail to the West Indies and fight as a Privateer against the Spanish. Or, barring that, buy some land and sow a sugar plantation. Caroline tried to dissuade her husband, but to no effect.

Born: 1680, England
Died: ???? A common refrain in any biography of a Golden Age Pirate goes something like this: "Very little is known about this man's early life..." And with Charles Vane it's no different. It is not known where he was born, or where he grew up, or when he first took to sea. But maybe that's just as well, for it further heightens the mystery of this strange, unstable man. Surely one of the most ornery and unstable of the "Flying Gang", the band of pirates who called Nassau their home for a time, Charles Vane began his career like most pirates of the era--honestly, as a privateer sailing for his King. Likely living in Jamaica in 1715, he was one of many aboard Henry Jennings' assault on a Spanish expedition to recover the gold from their ill fated wreck in 1715 off the coast of Florida. Barely a year later it had become impossible to keep up honest work as a privateer, as British Governors were skittish about breaking the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht, which called for a cessation of all aggression between the major empires. Having few other options, Vane sailed to Nassau where many of his former colleagues were now living. Quick to anger and ferociously mean, Charles Vane quickly earned himself a reputation as a difficult captain to sail under. At some point in 1717 or 1718, an old friend, "Calico" Jack Rackham joined his crew as quartermaster. The two remained partnered for some time, living and working out of Nassau with the likes of Benjamin Hornigold, Ed Thatch, and Henry Jennings.

Born: 1695, England
Died: ???? Even though not yet out of his teens, James Kidd was a cocky and confident lad with a brashness cultivated to counter his youth. He claimed to be the bastard son of the late William Kidd, the infamous privateer-turned-pirate who was captured and hanged by British authorities in 1701. Although James had no proof of this connection, his mother always insisted on it, claiming that she spent a single "panicked night of passion" with Captain Kidd just before his departure from London in 1695. Growing up fatherless and with a spendthrift mother did little to improve his prospects at leading a normal life, and at the age of 12 he found employment aboard merchant vessels sailing between the British colonies in North America and the West Indies. By the time he was 17 he called Jamaica his home, where he further honed his skills as a sailor here. Although he never sailed with the likes of Ben Hornigold, Ed Thatch, or Edward Kenway, James was among the first sailors to settle in Nassau, and was a central figure in its development as a pirate republic.

Born: Unknown, England
Died: ???? Of all the infamous West Indies pirates, Mary Read stands out as one of the most mysterious and inscrutable. No one is sure when she was born, with most speculation ranging over almost a decade, between 1685 and 1695. According to Charles Johnson—a frequently unreliable source—her mother began dressing Mary in boy's clothes from a very early age, with the hope of passing her off as another man's son. In her teens, Mary evidently harnessed her skill for disguise to secure a job aboard a ship. Taking to sea, she worked her way forward until she found a position in the British Navy. Still disguised as a man, she saw action in battle, though owing to the conflicting reports of her birth, which battle is uncertain. It was during these skirmishes that Mary met her first husband—so the author of the "General History of Pyrates" claims—a Flemish soldier who had evidently fought beside her. But this union was not fated to remain intact, as Mary's husband was killed soon after their marriage. With few reasons to remain in Europe, Mary sailed for the West Indies. It is unclear what transpired in the years following, but it is almost certain that she resumed the practice of dressing as a man. It is also assumed Mary continued working aboard ships, improving her skills as a sailor and swordsman. By 1715 or 1716, it was likely she had visited her fellow sailors in Nassau, though perhaps not for the same reasons...

Born: 1695, Cuba
Died: Unknown Born in Cuba, Assassin bureau leader Opía Apito was raised Taíno, among her mother's people, never knowing her father, a Spaniard. At twelve, her village was raided by the Spanish. Most of her community was kidnapped and killed. But Opía, the lone free survivor, fought and ran. She survived in hiding for close to a decade. Much of what we know of Opía is inseparable from legend. Her name, possibly self-given, is an amalgam of the Taíno words for "eternity" and "ghost." She claimed to be a direct descendant of the warrior Hatuey, who stood against the Spanish in the 16th Century. She was guided throughout her life by the mantra, Aji aya bom—better dead than a slave. In her early twenties, she was hired by the Assassins as a guide, and was soon adopted into their ranks. She delighted in a characteristic Taíno approach to strategy: preferring to harm the enemy by taking something from him in battle, that he might live to notice it missing. But as an Assassin she did not shrink from violence. True to her name, once promoted to Assassin Bureau leader, she built an agile and highly effective "ghost" bureau near the Cayman Islands, with virtually no physical footprint to speak of. We might regard it today as an early example of a terrorist cell, but she left no records and no descendants, and until now, history has held no record of it.

Born: 1688, Scotland
Died: Unknown Born in Scotland, Rhona Dinsmore was made for adventure. After suffering the lows of a troubled household–an absent father and a drunkard of a mother–Dinsmore left her home in Glasgow in her mid-teens. At nineteen, she found work amongst merchants in Bristol and remained at that post for nearly two years. By twenty-one, Dinsmore was trapped in a terrible marriage. She fled again and sought refuge in Boston, where she remained for six months, before moving on to the warmer climes of Jamaica. There she found it exceedingly difficult to find work among farmers, and finally took to the sea, ultimately finding her calling within the Assassin Brotherhood.

Born: 1688, Barbados Died: ???? Born into plentitude and wealth on Barbados, Stede Bonnet seemed destined for a life of pleasure and ease. The son of a successful and influential plantation owner, his early life was marked by tragedy when his parents died suddenly, leaving seven year-old Stede orphaned and in a perpetual state of melancholy. His inheritance of some 400 acres of land softened the blow caused by the loss of his parents, and by the time Stede was in his late teens, he had already restored the sugar plantation to a profitable state. He married young and set about starting a family as soon as possible, but owing to what some called a "disorder of the mind" he never found solace or comfort in these domestic trappings. To further complicate his unease, his firstborn son died in infancy, further amplifying his grief and stiming his restlessness. As a means of coping, he dreamed of going to sea and sailing about the world, meeting people, living life as a man free of the obligations thrust upon him. When Bonnet's ship was apprehended by the British Navy on suspicion of piracy, he was rescued by the pirate Edward Kenway who, with the help of Blackbeard and others, eventually influenced the affable and impressionable merchant into going on the account himself.

Born: 1688, England
Died: Unknown Upton Travers was born in England, in 1688, two years ahead of his brother, Vance Travers. Together, they traveled to the West Indies in search of their fortune. There they established a smuggling business, which they used to fund their growing involvement with the Assassin brotherhood. Although Vance was the more charismatic of the two Assassin brothers, Upton made up for it with his measured, sensible responses to life's challenges. However, every man has a breaking point, and Upton found his after Vance took up with the Chinese "Pirate Queen," Jing Lang, a Templar, and sought to steal the treasure on which they had staked their retirement before finally attempting fratricide. Depressed, Upton turned to alcohol, which may have been a factor in his retaliation. He ultimately had both Jing Lang and his brother dispatched with the help of Edward Kenway.

Born: 1682, Wales
Died: ????

Originally hailing from Wales, little is known about John Roberts, the real name of the man who would come to be known as "Black Bart" long after his death.

Most assume he went to sea at a very young age -- at 13 or so -- but there is no record of him in any historical documents until his noted appearance in 1718 aboard a merchant's ship, Barbadian in origin. Just a year later Roberts was pressed into piracy by the notorious Howell Davis while working aboard a slave ship under Captain Abraham Plumb. Though Roberts had likely not gone to sea with the intent of becoming a pirate, when the opportunity thrust itself upon him, Roberts was reported to have said 'A merry life, and a short one shall be my motto.'

A few months later Davis was killed in an ambush on the Portuguese Island of Príncipe, and Roberts was swiftly and unanimously elected to replace him. This was surely a testament to the man's natural charisma and leadership, for he had been a pirate only a few months. It was at this point he took the name "Bartholomew", likely naming himself for the infamous Bartholomew Sharpe, a pirate of some renown who had disappeared just two decades earlier.

One of the most intelligent and strategic pirates of the Golden Age, Roberts was a sturdy man, known to dress in fine clothes. Handsome, and carrying himself with a dignified but unpretentious air, he had dark hair to match his dark complexion, likely set from the almost two decades he had spent at sea. He often carried numerous pistols, each tied to one end of long silk sashes, which he kept slung over his shoulder.

Roberts' tactical ideas were usually radical, but thoughtfully considered. He never jumped into any scheme rashly, though his ideas seemed almost suicidal to those unacquainted with his methods. Ultimately responsible for the theft of around 400 ships in his three-year career, he bested every other pirate of the era by a factor of ten times or more, although it must be said that at least half of these boats were small periaguas and the like.

Born: Mid-1680s, England
Died: ???? Benjamin Hornigold was likely born in Norfolk, England. The first recorded instances of him are of his early exploits as a pirate in the West Indies around 1713-1714. Hornigold was one of the earliest pirates to emerge after the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, and one of the many hundreds of privateers who were left without gainful employment in the ensuing peace. Like many other British mariners, he spent much of his time in the Bahamas, eventually settling in Nassau. It was from there he launched his career as a full-fledged pirate, though he likely thought of himself as a privateer--in his earliest years, at least. A skilful sailor and strategist, Hornigold lacked some of the ruthlessness required to be a truly successful pirate, and until 1716, refused to attack English ships out of a sense of loyalty to his home country.

Born: Unknown
Died: Unknown Almost nothing is known about El Tiburón "The Shark" outside of his service as the loyal, mute bodyguard of Laureano de Torres y Ayala, the Grandmaster of the Caribbean Templars and the Governor of Cuba. The Shark's penchant for medieval armor and brutal violence cut a swathe of fear through Havana, leaving citizens and soldiers alike quivering in his blood soaked wake.

Born: 1682, England
Died: 1717, West Indies Hilary Flint was born to an aristocratic family, the youngest of three boys. The black sheep of the family, he sought solitude in his studies. Immersing himself in math and sciences, Flint discovered an abiding interest in explosives, earning him the label of "problem child". To correct his course, his parents enrolled him in military school, where he quicklyexceeded their expetations, working his way into the hearts of both teachers and students, as well as a few secret societies. After graduation, his connections and easy manner earned him access to Templar ranks where his obsession with firearms made him an important asset. Records reveal an ongoing relationship with Assassin Rhona Dinsmore, the full nature of which is uncertain. She vanishes from record after Flint's death at the age of 35.

Born: 1686, China
Died: 1717, Nassau Born to Chinese rebels, Jing Lang came into the world fighting, but survived to become a skilled diplomat with a flair for languages and a taste for discovery. Ambitious, Lang married the son of a General in the Qing dynasty, joining the Templar order, but severing ties with her family in the process. She served as a diplomatic advisor, until a shift in political tides provoked her escape into piracy. Over the next decade, she crossed every sea, developing a reputation for brutality that preceded her into most conflicts. In the West Indies, she fell under the spell of a rumored cache of treasure, and feigned a romantic relationship with one-time Assassin Vance Travers to gain access to it. She might have been successful had it not been for Travers' brother, Upton, an Assassin who schemed to have her killed, betraying his brother in the process. She died at the age of thirty.

Born: 1682, France
Died: ???? Nephew of the buccaneer Jean du Casse, Julien was born in Montpellier, France. He took after his uncle's example and took to sea at a young age, eventually joining him in a few skirmishes during the War of the Spanish Succession. Fighting on the side of the French, and by proxy, on behalf of King Philip of Spain, du Casse's skill as a gunner improved rapidly, even as he grew wildly disillusioned with the monarchy and its obsession with lineage and breeding over raw talent and skill. In 1704, ordered by his superior officers to join his uncle and hundreds of French troops in what would become known as the Battle of Vélez-Màlaga, du Casse opted instead to desert his post and seek his fortunes in the New World. At first he threw in with slave traders in Africa, and for a year made a modest profit off the venture. But he was never comfortable with the cruelty and detachment the job required, and so departed for the West Indies in search of yet another vocation. For the next 10 years, du Casse roamed the West Indies as a hired gun, working for whomever had the coin and confidence to pay him. Ever prizing the value of intelligence and skill over mere reputation and breeding, du Casse, eventually found his way into the company of Laureano Torres of Cuba, in whom he found a friend and confidant...

Born: 1675, England
Died: 1715, Kingston Born to an upper class family and educated in boarding schools from age five, Kenneth Abraham learned to fight for himself at an early age. Upon graduation, he entered the army and rose through the ranks, finally meeting the rank of Commander. His embrace of order and disciple drew him into the fold of the Templar Order, which offered him influence beyond that offered by his military career. From the age of thirty, he ascended its ranks in parallel to those of his military career by devoting himself to the promotion of order and peace. In 1715, the Assassin Anto infiltrated a Ball held by Abraham on his plantation, together with the pirate Edward Kenway. There, Abraham was assassinated by the pair, confronted in his final moments by the nemesis he had tried and failed to defeat. He remained, until his death, determined to rid the world of unpredictable and disorderly elements.

Born: 1645, Cuba
Died: ???? Born in Havana, but raised in Madrid, Spain, Laureano was of noble stock, the son of Tomas Torres y Ayala and Elvira de Quadros Castellanos. He joined the Spanish army in his late teens, and was later appointed as the governor of Spain's territories in Florida, a post he held from 1693 to 1699. He then returned to Europe to participate in the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1708, Torres was appointed as the governor of Cuba, a post he held for three years until he was accused of and arrested for corruption. He was acquitted of these charges, however, and managed to win a re-election bid in 1713. During his time in Cuba, he made many lasting improvements to the city, fortifying the island's defenses and introducing the production of tobacco there. He remained Governor until 1716, after which point he retired and devoted his life to charitable functions, such as building hospitals.

Born: 1630s, Amsterdam
Died: 1717, Kingston Laurens Prins (often anglicized as Laurence Prince) was a Dutchman from Amsterdam who spent the majority of his life in and around the West Indies. Operating out of Port Royal, Prins saw an incredible amount of action and adventure in his long life. Sailing as a privateer in the early days of the Golden Age of Piracy (1650s) he developed a reputation for courage fighting the Spanish on behalf of the British crown, sometimes bearing a letter of marque, often without. He even played a pivotal role in Sir Henry Morgan's infamous raid on Panama in 1671, for which he was roundly celebrated. Prins eventually retired from privateering and settled in a large acreage of land in Jamaica. Around this time he entered into the slave trade as a means of bolstering his wealth, an occupation he pursued well into his seventies. In 1717, his flagship slave galley, The Whydah, was attacked and captured by the pirate "Black Sam" Bellamy. He managed to survive the encounter, and fell back into his old occupation until his death some months later.

Born: 1689, Spain
Died: 1715, Pinos Isle Born in Spain, Lucia Márquez never knew her father. By the age of twelve she was supporting herself and her sisters on the streets, begging, borrowing, and stealing anything she could, all the while developing the skills of a master thief. At the age of seventeen, she was caught stealing a horse belonging to a high-ranking Templar, and wisely opted for training over jail time. The Templar life gave Marquez the focus she needed and she never found herself at a lack of challenge or adventure. She died at the age of twenty-six on Pinos Isle, wise beyond her years, on the order of the Taino Assassin, Opía Apito.

Historic archives contain scattered references to individuals known as "Sages", but they are few and far between. Each citation seems to refer to a different person living in a vastly different time and location. The earliest example was found in a Sumerian clay tablet in cuneiform script, while the latest survives only as a footnote in one of Laureano Torres's own journals, dated January 1704. In all – according to exhaustive research – seven different "Sages" seem to have graced the world's stage in the past twelve hundred years. But the real number is likely higher. Perhaps, the strangest aspect connecting each of these various sightings is the fact that, in every case, visual descriptions of each Sage are remarkably similar. So similar, in fact, that one wouldn't be faulted for assuming they ware talking about a single, immortal man. However, in two of the seven citations, explicit mention is made of their death and burial. Is this therefore some bizarre form of reincarnation? Or some simpler explanation that is presently unknown? More research is required.

Born: 1690, England
Died: 1717, Nassau Born in England, the passionate, creative, yet incredibly gullible Vance Travers, found a life for himself amongst the Assassin's Brotherhood in the West Indies, where he ran a successful smuggling enterprise, with his older brother, Upton. Business took a turn for the worse after he met and fell in love with the Templar, Jing Lang, who persuaded him to divulge knowledge of the location of buried treasure with which he and Upton planned to fund their retirement. Paranoid, Travers developed delusions that his brother plotted to steal his treasure and Jing's heart. He broke from the Creed and, after a failed attempt at fratricide, was killed by Edward Kenway.

Born: 1679, England
Died: ???? Woodes Rogers was born into money, to a seafaring family with deep roots in both Poole and Bristol, England. His early life was a picture of industriousness and ambition, and by the age of 18 he was an apprentice Mariner. Upon his father's death at sea in 1706, Woodes inherited his family's prosperous shipping company, which he took to managing with great passion. Between 1704 and 1707 Rogers' fortunes and family grew, and by the time he was twenty-seven his marriage to Sarah Whetstone had produced one son and two daughters. By the end of 1707, however, his business had suffered great losses by raiding French forces, giving Rogers the idea to recoup these dreadful losses himself. Knocking about Bristol in search of a partner for this endeavor, he soon found himself in the company of William Dampier, an old friend and unlucky Captain who suggested setting out on a privateering expedition, one that would range far and wide about the New World. In 1708, Rogers made the necessary arrangements and set out as Captain of his own vessel, on a difficult voyage that would last over three years. Along this course Rogers met with many successes and failures. In 1709, off the western coast of South America, he found and rescued a marooned sailor by the name of Alexander Selkirk, a sailor who had spent nearly 4 years living in isolation and who would serve as the inspiration for the book "Robinson Crusoe" just a few years later. Soon after Selkirk's recovery, Rogers' fleet engaged an enemy vessel in open combat—a skirmish that earned him a pistol shot to the left side of his face and a mangled heel. Neither wound was enough to remove him from command however, and he continued serving as captain until his return to England in late 1711. To commemorate this return, he had an operation to remove the offending bullet from his upper palate. Now in poor health but high spirits, he set about writing his memoirs. Upon their publication a few years, they were an immediate success, and proved a great source of income. But this brief glory was offset by the sudden death of his son, a tragedy compounded some months later by his wife's decision to leave him. Also at this time, Rogers was sued by former shipmates for allegedly hoarding goods and money plundered from enemy vessels. Rogers assembled a defense, but lost the case. In 1713, itching to return to sea, he organized passage to Madagascar claiming to be a merchant in the slave trade, but with the intended purpose of reconnoitering the rumored pirate colonies established there. When he arrived in Madagascar after months of hard sailing, he found that the legends of the pirate town "Libertalia" had been exaggerated one-hundredfold. The pirates in Madagascar were sickly and few and desperate for help. After spending just a few months here, Rogers set sail for England, a failure in his own mind. And yet, never one to give up hope, Woodes Rogers reoriented his attentions to the West Indies, eventually lobbying King George for a commission to hunt pirates in the Caribbean. On this score, he succeeded. After a few diligent years of making his case, King George appointed Woodes Rogers as the Governor of the Bahamas. Now, at last, he would make his mark, and bring justice to a land where chaos had taken root...
