|-|The Apples of Eden=
|-|John Adams=
My fascination with the enigmatic Apples of Eden continues to deepen. Apparently, these remarkable spheroidal artifacts, meticulously crafted by the Precursors, were devised to exert control over humankind, exploiting the intricate genetic composition of our species. Our very nature makes us uniquely susceptible to the profound influence wielded by these objects.
John Adams was a foundational figure of the American Revolution. A Harvard-educated lawyer from Massachusetts, Adams rose to prominence by opposing the 1765 Stamp Act, serving as a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and working to build the newly formed American navy.


Delving into the annals of time, we journey back to approximately 75,010 BCE when Eve, a unique Isu-human hybrid, harnessed the power of her mixed heritage to resist the mind-altering properties embedded within the Apples of Eden. In a courageous act, Eve and her companion Adam liberated other humans from the clutches of enslavement, igniting the spark of the rebellion against their creators that culminated in the sprawling conflict known as the Human-Isu war. This act of defiance has interlaced with the tapestry of human mythology, giving birth to the legend of Adam and Eve banished from the idyllic Garden of Eden for their audacity to partake in the forbidden fruit.
While sympathetic to the patriot cause, his belief in the rule of law led him to successfully defend British soldiers involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. In Congress, he was instrumental in persuading delegates to declare independence, nominating George Washington as commander of the Continental Army, and playing a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Later, he was central in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. Adams later authored the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, influencing the future U.S. Constitution. He served as the first vice president under Washington and as the second president of the United States.


The powers harbored within the Apples of Eden are vast, and capable of reshaping reality through the mere force of thought. Historical records reveal the futile endeavors of the Isu, who sought to exploit this potential by launching an Apple of Eden into Earth's celestial orbit in the grand ambition to manipulate human consciousness, implanting the belief that our world would be shielded from the imminent Toba Catastrophe. However, even the mighty Apples could not alter the course of destiny.
|-|Samuel Adams=
Born in Boston, Samuel Adams was a pivotal Founding Father, political philosopher, and civic leader who galvanized colonial resistance against British authority. He strongly opposed the Stamp Act and other parliamentary taxation measures, leading to his involvement in the formation and operation of the Sons of Liberty in Boston. During the 1760s and 1770s he coordinated anti-British activities both within Boston and across the colonies, including the Boston Tea Party.<br><br>As a delegate to the Continental Congress, Adams was a firm advocate for separating from Britain, signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was also involved in drafting the Articles of Confederation and, after the war, served as governor of Massachusetts.


Beyond their reality-altering capabilities, these artifacts also seem to be invaluable repositories of ancient knowledge, encapsulating an astonishing wealth of Precursor information. Some Apples can also track the elusive fragments of other Isu artifacts scattered across the globe. As the 21st century unfolds, we can confirm the existence of multiple Apples of Eden out there.
|-|Crispus Attucks=
|-|Apple 2=
Crispus Attucks was one of the first casualties of the American Revolution. As an escaped slave working as a sailor and dock worker in Boston, he became a protest leader and the first victim of the Boston Massacre. During the confrontation with British soldiers on King Street, Attucks stood at the forefront of a crowd, demanding that the soldiers leave. When the soldiers opened fire, Attucks was shot twice in the chest, dying instantly.<br><br>Although his death was used as political propaganda to fuel anti-British sentiment during the period, his status as a martyr was cemented by 19th-century abolitionists who highlighted his sacrifice as a testament to Black patriotism.
'''Known Owners:''' [[Bayek]], [[Al Mualim]], [[Altaïr]], [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]], and [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]]


'''Current Status:''' Destroyed
|-|Benjamin Franklin=
Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers. A seasoned diplomat in London, he initially opposed the Stamp Act and, upon returning to America, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. One of his most significant contributions to the Revolution was serving as the primary American envoy to France from 1776 to 1778. Using his fame as a scientist and diplomatic expertise, he secured essential French financial and military support. This support is widely regarded as being instrumental in turning the tide of the war.<br><br>Franklin is the only Founding Father to sign all three major documents establishing the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Treaty of Paris ending the war (1783), and the U.S. Constitution (1787).


The Apple of Eden was originally recovered from the Order of the Ancients by Bayek, who hid it within Aya's hideout in Alexandria. The former Mentor of the Assassins of Masyaf, Al Mualim, obtained it in the 12th century, but Altaïr exposed his treachery and recovered the Apple. Subsequently, the Apple passed through the hands of Queen Elizabeth I and later Gandhi, who was tragically assassinated by Templar agents seeking the artifact for themselves. The Apple was finally destroyed in 2011 in an accident at an Abstergo facility beneath Denver International Airport.
|-|John Hancock=
|-|Apple 4=
John Hancock was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot leader during the American Revolution. Inheriting a massive fortune from his uncle, Hancock became one of New England's wealthiest men and used this wealth and influence to oppose British taxation policies. His defiance made him popular in Boston, particularly after customs officials seized his ship, the Liberty, in 1768 on charges of smuggling.<br><br>Hancock served as the President of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, and after the war, he served as the first and third Governor of Massachusetts. He is best known for being the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, doing so with a large, bold signature to defy King George III.
'''Known Owners:''' [[Nikola Tesla]], [[Thomas Edison]], [[Henry Ford]], and [[Adolf  Hitler]]


'''Current Status:''' Unknown, probably owned by the Assassins
|-|Thomas Jefferson=
Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of ''"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"''.


This ancient and mysterious Apple has been in the possession of history's most infamous visionaries, intriguers, and warmongers, and has remained at the heart of the Templars' pursuit of power. It's existence was first recorded in 10th-century China, but it didn't resurface until the 19th century when it was discovered by Nikola Tesla. Tesla intended to use it as part of his grand vision of harnessing its energy to power the world for free, but the Templar Thomas Edison thwarted his ambition, acquiring the Apple for himself. The Apple ended up in the hands of various influential figures, including Mark Twain and Henry Ford. Ford effectively ensured the triumph of Capitalism by employing the Apple's power to manipulate workers in his factories, before sending it to Adolf Hitler in 1933 at the insistence of the Templars. With the Apple, Hitler was able to seize power and launched a world war that ultimately served the Templar's industrial interests. Later, the Templars kidnapped Tesla to help them create a proto-Animus called Die Glocke. ‘Project Rainbow', in temporary alliance with the Assassins in 1943, was a misguided mission to prevent the worst atrocities of World War II.
|-|Marquis de Lafayette=
|-|Apple 7=
Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay.<br><br>He quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.<br><br>After returning to France after the war, Lafayette remained a lifelong friend of the United States and was granted honorary U.S. citizenship in 2002.
'''Known Owners:''' [[Charles Pearson]], [[Cavanagh]], and Sir [[David Brewster]]


'''Current Status:''' Destroyed
|-|Paul Revere=
Paul Revere was a prominent Boston silversmith, industrialist, and dedicated Patriot. A leading member of the Sons of Liberty, Revere organized intelligence networks to monitor British troops and co-originated anti-British agitation, including taking part in the 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the war, Revere served in the Massachusetts Militia and manufactured gunpowder for the Continental Army.<br><br>He is most well known for his dramatic midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn colonists of advancing British forces. Following instructions, a ''"one if by land, two if by sea"'' signal was placed in the Old North Church, alerting Revere to the British route across the Charles River. Along with William Dawes and others, Revere spread the alarm from Boston to Lexington, enabling leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams to escape and allowing militiamen to prepare for the crucial battles of Lexington and Concord. Though captured by a British patrol shortly after his ride, his mission was successful. This was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1861 poem, ''"Paul Revere's Ride"'' transforming him into a lasting symbol of American independence and civic bravery.
 
|-|Joseph Warren=
Joseph Warren was a Founding Father of the United States and a central leader in the Patriot movement in Boston during the early American Revolution. A respected physician and member of the Sons of Liberty, Warren became a key political organizer. He often acted as a master spy, utilizing his intelligence network to stay ahead of British movements. Notably, on April 18, 1775, it was Warren who dispatched Paul Revere and William Dawes on their famous midnight ride to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British march toward Lexington and Concord.<br><br>Despite having little formal military training, Warren was later appointed a major general and showed immense courage by volunteering as a private soldier in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he was killed in action at age 34.
 
|-|George Washington=
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence.<br><br>Unanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.


Cavanagh, a British Templar, sought out this Apple of Eden while building the world's first underground railway in the mid-nineteenth century. Cavanagh was slain and the Apple stolen by his rival, Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick. At Starrick's behest, scientist David Brewster attempted to unlock its secrets. The Apple was destroyed and Brewster slain when an experiment in his Croydon laboratory backfired in 1868.

|-|The Staves of Eden=
|-|Banner=
During my extensive research on the Staves of Eden at Abstergo Industries, I have discovered many fascinating aspects of these artifacts. Resembling scepters, the Staves embody a sense of authoritative power, representing sovereignty in various contexts. Through their unique design, all Staves display the ability to command and govern, exerting control over the thoughts and actions of individuals. The enigmatic properties of the Staves extend further, as they have the potential to conceal the presence of the bearer and even enable levitation. However, the true nature of these effects remains shrouded in mystery, leaving us to ponder whether they are tangible manifestations or intricately crafted manipulations of perception. It is also noteworthy that the tip of a Staff can be utilized as a spear, adding to its versatility as both a symbol of authority and a deadly weapon. Throughout our research, we have encountered only four Staves of Eden, each possessing a captivating history, further deepening the intrigue surrounding these powerful artifacts.
;The Flag
|-|The Scepter of Alexander the Great=
You are outside Faneuil Hall. In 1776, while the Revolution was in full swing, this area was a hotbed of Patriotic sentiment. Talks were delivered here and revolutionary banners displayed openly despite the British occupation. Alongside Samuel Adams, create a banner and unfurl it on the front of the building in defiance at British rule.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era Boston and head to Faneuil Hall.
'''Known Owners:''' [[Alexander the Great]], [[Flavius Metellus]]
 
;Historical details
When the Thirteen Colonies of America were seceding from the British at the start of the revolution, it became necessary for a flag to be created to symbolize the patriot cause and rally individuals for the Revolution!<br><br>These flags were often created by local artists and revolutionary groups to reflect the locations or the key messages that they stood for. One famous example is The Moultrie Flag. Commissioned by Colonel William Moultrie in 1775 to prepare for war with Britain, it depicts a white crescent moon with the word “LIBERTY” inscribed within it on a field of navy blue.

Alexander the Great used this Staff of Eden, gifted him by the Order of the Ancients, to consolidate power in Macedonia and massively expand his empire over the Middle East and beyond. After his death, the Scepter was interred in his tomb in Alexandria. In 47 BCE the Scepter was stolen by two members of the Order of the Ancients, Flavius and Septimius, who intended to use it to unlock an Isu Vault in Siwa. The Scepter was then taken to Rome, where Septimius presented it to the local Order of the Ancients before being slain by Aya.

|-|The Swords of Eden=
In our database here at Abstergo, I've found much information focused on some of the artifacts left by the Precursors that I personally find to be among the most fascinating—the Swords of Eden. We have all the reasons to believe that these remarkable artifacts were originally crafted by the esteemed Precursor scientist Hephaestus, and were explicitly designed to amplify strength during battle and enhance leadership.


As correctly reported by my predecessors, a notable ability associated with these Swords is the capacity to unleash powerful energy blasts. Through analysis and research on the field, we have confirmed the existence of a few distinct Swords of Eden, each with its own intriguing history, often tied to myths about famous heroes and conquerors. Legendary figures such as Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan are believed to have wielded these powerful artifacts, further supporting their historical significance. Through our unwavering search for knowledge, I continue to delve into the puzzles surrounding the Swords of Eden, unearthing their undeniable impact on the course of human history

;Green Dragon
'''Known Owners:''' [[Jeanne d'Arc]], [[François-Thomas Germain]], [[Arno Dorian]], [[Simon Hathaway]]
The Green Dragon Tavern stands before you. In its original form, in 1775, it was used by the Sons of Liberty for their resistance activities in British-occupied Boston. Join William Bowes, a member of the Sons of Liberty, find a cipher hidden in the tavern, to decrypt an urgent secret message.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the famous Green Dragon Tavern.


'''Current Status:''' [[Abstergo Industries]]' HQ, England, Rikkin's office
;Historical details
The Green Dragon Tavern was a popular meeting place for the Sons of Liberty, a clandestine group of Revolutionaries who worked for America's independence. Their work was kept secret through a network of supporters and through a range of spy craft during the revolution, from coded lantern signals to invisible ink and complex ciphers. \n \nAmong the most notable ciphers of the era was that developed by James Lovell, though it frequently failed in practice. Lovell's hints at the keyword were often so obscure as to be useless, as this instruction to John Adams illustrates: \"You certainly can recollect the name of that family where you and I spent our last evening together... Make regular alphabets in number equal to the first sixth part of that family name.\" Adams struggled so persistently with the cipher that he once accused Benjamin Franklin of deliberately withholding information, having simply failed to decode his letter.


Before his arrest, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay, concealed a peculiar Sword of Eden. The artifact was enhanced by a small red stone known as the Heart, a gem that de Molay was able to hide. Later on, the Heart fell into the hands of Joan of Arc, who wore it around her neck, utilizing its unique energy to amplify the powers of the Sword she eventually acquired. However, following Joan's execution, the Heart was lost when her executioner callously threw it into the Seine. At the time of the French Revolution, the Sword suffered significant damage during a fierce clash involving Grand Master François-Thomas Germain, Arno Dorian, and Élise de la Serre, probably because it was missing the Heart. Many centuries later, the Sword found its place in the office of Alan Rikkin, Master Templar and CEO of Abstergo Industries. Simon Hathaway, an Inner Sanctum member and Head of Abstergo's Historical Research department, employed the Animus to locate and retrieve the Heart from the waters of the Seine, reviving the Sword's dormant power. After Alan Rikkin met his demise at the hands of the Assassin Callum Lynch, the Sword was placed among the collection of artifacts of the Templar Order.

The Harpe was a legendary sword attributed to Perseus, the Greek hero renowned for slaying Medusa and founding the city of Mycenae. It held great significance in the saga of the Writhing Dread. During the tumultuous period of the Peloponnesian War, the Harpe found its way into the possession of Ligeia, the most recent victim to be transformed into the gorgon. When Kassandra emerged victorious over Ligeia she claimed the coveted sword for herself.

|-|The Shrouds of Eden=
The study of the groundbreaking work of the Isu scientist Consus on the Shrouds of Eden is considered to be one of the keys to unlocking the secrets of many other Precursor artifacts. Differently from all other Isu creations, the Shrouds resemble pieces of ordinary cloth, possessing extraordinary capabilities of restoration and healing. As we learned, the original Shroud, designed by Consus himself, probably served as a vessel for his consciousness to allow a temporary possession of a living user's body. We also know that several Shrouds were made, although we do not know how many, nor we know much about their powers.


The original Shroud used to be contained within a plain wooden box and can be described as a white cloth stained with blood and bearing the faint imprint of a human shape. Its most renowned owner was probably Jesus of Nazareth, who utilized its powers to heal many followers in his time. Other instances of Shrouds recorded in history include the legendary Golden Fleece of Grecian myth, and Joseph's coat of many colors.
;Log
Alongside William Bowes, a member of the Sons of Liberty, I solved the puzzle of the Green Dragon tavern and managed to find the cipher to an urgent secret message.


All Shrouds are known to be able to mend wounds, reverse defects, and even amplify an individual's healing prowess and strength, as long as a user maintains contact with one of them. However, despite their astonishing capabilities, Shrouds cannot reverse death—while they can temporarily revive and animate deceased bodies, proper restoration of life remains beyond their reach. Finally, it has been reported that using these artifacts can have dire consequences, as individuals who utilize the Shrouds may be driven to madness or experience physical deterioration.

Gather your gear and prepare to join the fight as one of the famous Minutemen.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the street next to the encampments on Boston Common.


Our research at Abstergo is shedding some light on the way the Shrouds work. When applied to a body, these artifacts scan for damage and initiate cellular-level reconstruction, even in cases of partial decomposition. This intriguing discovery has sparked further investigation into the possibility of reconstructing actual Isu individuals from existing DNA samples. Our ongoing research into the Shrouds of Eden and the groundbreaking work of Consus continues to unravel the mysteries surrounding these artifacts and their profound influence on our understanding of the Isu civilization.

As war broke out between the American colonies and Great Britain, the Americans were forced to adjust and evolve their military. This was previously defined by informal militia but as events around Boston became more tense, many communities in Massachusetts began to create more elite regiments. \n\nTheir regiments trained more frequently and were expected to be ready quickly, “at a minute's warning...” They became known as “Minute Men.” These regiments were made of men from all economic and racial backgrounds and formed the backbone of the Revolutionary forces.\n

They don't possess the same powers of influencing and controlling displayed by the Pieces of Eden, yet such artifacts have been researched extensively by Templars and Assassins alike. Lesser still than the Precursor relics are later documentation and transcription of Precursor knowledge and information, which are nonetheless the subject of covetous attention. Both the Assassins and the Templars are convinced that, if they can decipher such writing, it will give greater insight into the Precursor civilisation. The Voynich Manuscript, Nicholas Flamel's two-part book of Abraham, as written by Abraham of Würzburg, are two such examples. All of these man-made relics must be unlocked or translated with some sort of key, such as a Precursor Box.

Equipment:
*Blanket
**Soldiers' blankets were mostly made of wool, linen, or the mixed cloth linsey-woolsey,  and came in a variety of colors and patterns. There was no official provision of blankets, and most were donated from people's own homes.
*Canteen
**A canteen - made of wood, tin, or glass - was vital for militia soldiers to carry water on the march. With a typical day's march covering 8 to 13 miles and a canteen holding just 1.4 liters, a soldier had to make that supply last the entire day unless he found a chance to refill it.
*Tricorn Hat
**Perhaps one of the most iconic and easily recognized pieces of clothing from the colonial era is the tri-corner hat, or more simply known as the tricorn. Although the style originated in Europe, it is now associated with the American Revolutionary War and the nation's fight for freedom.
*Powder Horns
**A militia soldier needed two powder horns: a large one, for the coarse powder used in the main charge in the musket, and a small one, to hold the more finely ground powder that was used in the priming pan. These were made from real horns that were often obtained from domestic cattle.
*Musket
**The most common weapon used during the American Revolution was the musket - a long smoothbore gun without grooves inside its barrel, fired from the shoulder. These weapons were slow, complicated to load and extremely inaccurate, and were normally only fired in volleys.
*Sword
**During the Revolutionary War, most infantrymen carried a hanger as a secondary weapon, a type of short sword with a blade about twenty-five inches long, designed to supplement their musket in close combat. This sword is based on the one carried by Massachusetts minute man James Taylor.
*Worm
**‘The Worm' was the name given to a corkscrew-shaped piece of metal which was used to extract any residual debris from the barrel of the soldier's musket when cleaning it. Every soldier had to carry one in order to keep the musket ready to use.

The intended use of the Prophecy Disks is unclear. Audio-visual messages can be recorded on these disks, which then separate in two – an amulet is then required to activate the message. The Assassin Aveline de Grandpré discovered both parts of such a disk in the Precursor ruins beneath the Mayan city of Chichen Itza, which were then activated with an amulet, The Heart of the Brotherhood.

You are opposite the house of the renowned patriot Paul Revere. In 1775, during the British occupation of Boston, this spot was a hub of revolutionary sentiment. Learn from Patriot leader Joseph Warren how to signal with lantern light, in order to warn patriots about the movements of the British troops. \n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head through the streets around the house of Paul Revere.


One particular Precursor Box was given by Ezio Auditore to Shao Jun, a Chinese Assassin, when she sought out his advice in 1524. Since then the Box has resurfaced a number of times, in both Assassin and Templar hands, amongst them Shay Cormac. Álvaro Gramática, Templar and scientist, used the Box in 2016 as part of the Phoenix Project, to help him comprehend the Shroud of Eden he had also obtained.
;Historical details
Paul Revere was a Revolutionary soldier and express rider who transported important documents and messages during the war. \n \nOn the night of April 18th, 1775, in response to a coded message delivered by the light of two lanterns in the tower of Old North church, he undertook a perilous ride to Lexington with the news that the British soldiers stationed in Boston were about to march.

Join the Militia recruits and practice using a musket for the coming battles. \n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the military training grounds.


'''Main Opponents:''' [[Cult of Kosmos]], [[Deimos]]
;Historical details
Warfare during the Revolutionary war was defined by the musket. A complex weapon, it required loading by hand with powder, wadding, and ramrod - a slow process demanding extensive training to master. This training was also essential for developing the discipline and coordinated movement necessary for cohesion on the battlefield. \n\nThe musket's smooth, non-rifled barrel also made it highly inaccurate, meaning speed of fire mattered far more than precision. A well-trained British soldier could discharge four rounds a minute; most recruits, however, could manage only one or two, making rigorous training vital to the Revolutionary cause.


"I am Kassandra, the Eagle Bearer, a descendant of King Leonidas I, the legendary Greek warrior king who once led the fierce city state of Sparta. I was raised by the Spartan General Nikolaos, who put me through the same rigorous training as my male companions and forged me into a formidable combatant. Yet, fate took an unexpected turn during a pilgrimage to the Oracle of Delphi, where my younger brother Alexios received a foreboding prophecy, destined to bring darkness upon our world.
;Instructions
Objective
Members of the Massachusetts militia needed to learn how to use a musket by loading, aiming, and firing at the targets on the training grounds. Have a go!


The Spartan Ephors, adhering to the Oracle's warning, ordered Alexios' execution at the cliffs of Mount Taygetos. In a moment of instinctual defiance, I saved my brother's life, but at the cost of a venerable Spartan elder's own. Retribution followed swiftly and I, too, was cast down from that treacherous precipice.
Loading
After each shot, you must reload. \n\nTap on the screen when the triangle touches the bar to load, then repeat to prime your musket.


Against all odds, I survived. I ran far from Sparta's clutches, seeking solace and a new beginning on the island of Kephallonia, a true haven on Earth for pariahs and misfits. Alone and isolated, I honed my talents and abilities and became a mercenary known as Misthios. Although I did not know its true power then, I used to wield the Spear of Leonidas, a Piece of Eden left behind by the gods themselves.
Aiming
To aim your musket, move your device; staying still will make the circle get smaller. \n\nYour shot will hit somewhere randomly within the circle, getting the circle to be smaller will help increase your accuracy.\n


Later, the clash between the brutal Spartan ideals and the progressive values of democracy and enlightenment promoted by the Athenians became inevitable, breaking out in the tumultuous Peloponnesian War.
Firing
Tap on the screen to fire your musket.


My journey intertwined with such an epic conflict as I sought to reunite with my lost family. During that period, I learned of the Cult of Kosmos, an insidious, secretive society manipulating prophecies through the Oracle of Delphi to wreak havoc and fear. To my dismay, their champion, Deimos, was none other than my lost brother, Alexios, raised as a weapon to ruthlessly oppose all who resisted the Cult's vision.
Targets
These are the targets you need to hit, there are four of each in total.


In my relentless pursuit of truth and redemption, I crossed paths with Pythagoras, who revealed a bewildering truth: Alexios and I bore the ancient Isu bloodline, and one of us had the solemn duty to safeguard the knowledge of Atlantis and undertake a quest to collect Isu artifacts. Given my brother's absence, such a responsibility fell to me. I was given the Staff of Hermes, which granted me the larger-than-life longevity needed to fulfill my role as the guardian of ancient knowledge and balance between order and chaos.

**Excellent shooting [good]/Good shooting [bad]
You have completed your musket practice - one of many skills vital to master as a member of the Massachusetts Militia.  


Long before the Brotherhood was born, I embodied the spirit of later proto-Assassins, driven by values of fraternity, free will, and the firm conviction that humanity should shape its own destiny. Alongside my loyal avian companion, Ikaros, I ventured into a life of discovery, unveiling the truths concealed beneath the veils of manipulation and power.

The Liberty tree was a famous elm tree that stood near Boston Common which became a focal point in the protest against the stamp act and British rule. In 1775, as tensions grew in the city, Loyalists felled the tree to the outrage of revolutionary supporters. The Liberty Tree became an enduring symbol for the spirit of the Revolution. \n\nThe Old South Meeting House hosted some of the most important meetings of the Revolution including angry speeches on the destruction of the Liberty Tree and the pivotal debate on British taxation which led to the Boston Tea Party.


We were in the sacred temple in Siwa when tragedy struck. Soldiers came, demanding access. I refused to grant it to th+em, driven by my dedication to protect the sanctity of our land. Little did I know that this act of defiance would lead to the murder of our young son. Consumed by grief, Aya and I found ourselves torn apart, our pain driving a wedge between us.

James Otis gave powerful speeches at the Old South Meeting House. He sought to make the ideas of liberty grow in the people of Boston. \n\nYou need to guide these ideas and help the vision of a Liberty Tree flourish!


In the twists and turns of fate, my path led me back to Alexandria, where I once again crossed paths with Aya. With persuasive words she urged me to look beyond my own personal quest for revenge, and consider the greater tapestry of our troubled times. Aya saw in Cleopatra the key to freeing Egypt from the shackles of oppression, and she pledged her support to aid her in reclaiming the throne. Together, we set forth on a mission to hunt down the Order of the Ancients, a shadowy organization pulling the strings of power in Egypt.
Guiding the speeches

You need to guide the beam, representing his speeches, from the glowing window of the Old South Meeting House to the Liberty Tree above it using the reflective shards.


As I ventured deeper into the heart of this mission, a profound realization dawned upon me. The people of Egypt deserved the freedom to determine their own destiny. They needed champions to rise against their oppressive rulers. My thirst for vengeance gradually transformed into an unyielding resolve to champion righteousness, seeking to safeguard the people's rights.
Adjusting the shards

Eventually, Cleopatra chose to ally with Julius Caesar, who was under the sway of the nefarious Order of the Ancients. Blinded by ambition, she dismissed Aya and me. In her actions we saw not just a personal betrayal, but a disloyalty to what we personally held dear—the safety and freedom of Egypt and its people. We resolved to continue our struggle, even if that meant standing against Cleopatra's allies, as we understood that our quest for justice would benefit the entirety of the land and strike a resounding blow against the Order of the Ancients.

With this goal in mind, we established a new organization; one founded not on bloodline alone but on a shared vision of justice. The Hidden Ones came into being, an organization destined to withstand the test of time. It would evolve and adapt, eventually blossoming into the revered Brotherhood of Assassins. Aya, embracing her newfound identity as Amunet, would emerge as one of the Brotherhood's most illustrious and celebrated Assassins, honored for her unwavering dedication to the cause.

The Boston massacre was a confrontation between a small contingent of British soldiers and a crowd of around 300 revolutionary supporters in which five protestors were killed and six were injured. The Boston government was determined to give the soldiers a fair trial so that there could be no grounds for retaliation from the British. \n\nJohn Adams, despite being a member of the Sons of Liberty and revolutionary supporter, defended the men at trial. The trial resulted in Thomas Preston, the senior British officer present, being acquitted after the jury was convinced he had not ordered his troops to fire.

"I am Basim Ibn Ishaq, born in the Abbasid Caliphate. My early years were spent in opulent Baghdad, but I grew up as a street thief, surviving by wit and cunning alone, together with my comrades in the shadows. Plagued by vivid hallucinations of a fearsome djinn from a young age, I harbored a deep-seated desire to unravel the mysteries surrounding these haunting visions. Eventually, my quest led me to the Hidden Ones, a secretive order of assassins dedicated to justice, operating covertly to uphold the greater good.
;What happens
*'''John Adams:''' ''Thank you for your help with this endeavor. Start by gathering the evidence we need.''
Evidence:
*Injured arm
**A physician stated that British Captain Preston's arm was damaged from a woodblock thrown during the riot and that, resultantly, he was unable to fire his gun.
*Carr's testimony
**One of the victims, American rioter Patrick Carr, who died later in the care of Dr. Jon Jefferies, said that he bore the soldiers no ill will and that he was satisfied that the soldier had no malice but fired to defend himself.
*Bloodied Coal
**It seems like the Revolutionary rioters were throwing more than just snowballs. This coal has blood from a soldier on it.
*Preston's coat
**There are gunshot burns on British Captain Preston's coat. He must've narrowly missed being shot by his men.
**[Adams' comment] These gunshot marks came from behind. Preston must've stood in front of his men when they fired.
*Soldier's hat
**It seems like this British soldier must have taken quite the blow to the head.
**[Adams' comment] Seems like Kilroy took a nasty blow to the head.
*[Jane] Whitehouse's testimony
**One of the eyewitnesses to the massacre stated that she saw British Captain Preston stand in front of his men.
*Mysterious man
**Jane Whitehouse, a civilian eyewitness, reported that a man who did not look like an officer came behind the soldiers and walked backward and forward, encouraging them to fire. She was positive the man was not British Captain Preston.
*Montgomery's account
**One of the British soldiers involved in the massacre stated that they were grabbed and were directly ordered to fire.
*Kilroy's account
**British soldier Kilroy stated that the soldiers only fired when the order was given.
*'''John Adams:''' ''We've collected all of the evidence. We should now assign them to the questions.''


In a reckless attempt to earn favor with the Hidden Ones, I chose to pilfer a mysterious artifact meant for the Caliph. Unbeknownst to me, this decision thrust me into a vast conspiracy orchestrated by the Levantine branch of the Order of the Ancients. Forced to flee the Caliph's palace, I was horrified to discover that my actions had triggered a ruthless reprisal, resulting in the massacre of my fellow street thieves. Amidst the chaos, it was Roshan, a member of the Hidden Ones, who rescued me, and together we fled Baghdad, seeking refuge within the fortress of Alamut. In the sanctuary of Alamut, I found solace and a newfound sense of purpose among the Hidden Ones. Through rigorous training, I transitioned from a young thief to a skilled warrior. Entrusted with missions abroad on behalf of the Hidden Ones, I ascended to the leadership of the Constantinople bureau, mentoring the aspiring assassin Hytham as my apprentice along the way.
*'''John Adams:''' [Question 1] ''What evidence proves Preston did not order his men to fire?''
[Present evidence]
*'''John Adams:''' [Answer 1] ''Based on testimony and marks on Preston's coat, it's clear he stood in front at the time. Therefore, he would not have called for them to fire unless he wanted to get shot!''


In the year 870, amidst our numerous assignments, I encountered Sigurd Styrbjornsson. Recognizing a chance to advance my covert objectives, I trailed the Viking to Norway, intent on unveiling the presence of the Order of the Ancients in the distant north. In Norway, I crossed paths with Sigurd's foster sister, Eivor, and, impressed by her deeds, I entrusted her with a Hidden Blade as a symbol of our alliance. Together with Eivor's Raven Clan, Hytham and I founded a bureau in the settlement of Ravensthorpe, England, with the aim of revitalizing the presence of the Hidden Ones on the island.
*'''John Adams:''' [Question 2] ''What evidence proves Preston's men did not shoot with malice?''
[Present evidence]
*'''John Adams:''' [Answer 2] ''It's clear from the evidence that Preston's men did not shoot with malice. Kilroy had taken a substantial blow to the head and had large objects thrown at him. Even Carr said he had never seen soldiers bear half as much as those soldiers did.''


As Hytham and Eivor relentlessly pursued the Order of the Ancients throughout the land, I embarked alongside Sigurd Styrbjornsson on a quest to find the elusive Saga Stone, driven by a desire to uncover the answers I had sought throughout my life."
*'''John Adams:''' [Question 3] ''If not Preston, who told his men to fire?''
|-|The Alruh=
[Present evidence]
"This is my Great Work. I call it Alruh. It will take you on a journey to another realm."<br>
*'''John Adams:''' [Answer 3] ''The real mystery then is, if not Preston, who told these men to fire? Montgomery recalled being grabbed from behind and hearing someone yell at him to fire. Miss Whitehouse saw a man in dark-colored clothing who approached the men from behind. Who it was that caused this terrible tragedy, we may never know.''
- Fazil Fahim al-Kemsa to Basim Ibn Ishaq


The Alruh, a creation of Hassan (also known as The Doctor), was a machine concealed beneath the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. Designed to unlock the secrets encoded within Memory Seals, it served as a gateway to a paradisiacal past. However, while partially functional, the Alruh's progress was hindered, leading to frustration within the Order of the Ancients. Its full potential remained elusive, with only glimpses of its capabilities witnessed through partial experiences.
*'''John Adams:''' [All evidence presented] ''My thanks. We have served the cause of the law and shown our convictions this day.''


'''The Efficacy of Our Discovery'''<br>
;Outcome
"My dear Al-Rabisu,<br>
*Verdict Reached
Work on the device progresses wonderfully. The engineer will unwittingly provide us the key to unlock its infinite potential. The new parts I mentioned last time are en route to the House of Wisdom. The Hour of our Order is at hand."<br>
You have helped John Adams gather the evidence and look at the questions central to the trial of those involved in the Boston Massacre. The pursuit of liberty under law demonstrates not just a passionate commitment to freedom but a willingness to hold all to its standards.

|-|Caesar Glover=
"For love and joy, words can jade. Our souls must sound in a heartful song. And when... no, no... You are less mine than I am yours. And I ask of you only this, keep me honest in the times to come."
Caesar was one of hundreds of sailors, White and Black, who helped the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in 1776, enabling the rebellion to survive. Born in Africa, he was enslaved as a child and brought to North America.<br><br>Somehow, he earned his freedom, and in 1775 he joined the Revolution as part of the Marblehead regiment. This group of seamen manned the boats in the New Jersey and New York campaigns, including the famous crossing of the Delaware River. Black New Englanders like Caesar were among the Continental Army's first recruits, 150 of whom carried Washington's troops from Brooklyn Heights to Peck Slip in August 1776. The amateur military, greatly outnumbered, was badly defeated in Long Island. But they were saved by a thick fog, an early historian writing that no one in the region could remember any such weather “within the space of twenty or thirty years\". If not for the skill of mariners like Caesar, military historians agree, no more than half of the decimated rebel army would have escaped.


'''Dates:''' 847 CE – unknown
|-|Nathan Hale=
Nathan Hale is one of the American Revolution's most famous spies and one of its earliest martyrs. Having volunteered to stay in New York after the Battle of Long Island in order to pass information to the Revolutionary cause, the 21-year-old Patriot was hanged by the occupying British government on September 22, 1776. This underscored the importance of effective espionage practices for the rebels. <br><br>Alongside George Washington's spy ring on Long Island, intelligence-gathering was far more commonly done by everyday unsung heroes of the cause. Knowledge is typically passed mouth to mouth, through both formal and informal communication networks. Waitresses overhearing conversation between officers in a tavern passed information on to rebel informants. Slaves moving goods from city to country reported on the British army's health. Families permitted to cross battlefield lines to visit relatives shared observations in conversation and correspondence.\n


'''Location:''' [[Europe]]
|-|Alexander Hamilton=
Alexander Hamilton was one of George Washington's trusted advisers during the American Revolution and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in 1757 in the West Indies, he was orphaned at the age of 11. His cleverness showed early, and his employers pooled their money to send him to university. Hamilton moved to New York in 1773 and began attending King's College (later Columbia University). By 1774, he was writing pro-rebel articles, and by 1775 he'd joined the volunteer militia to oppose the British. \n \nIn 1776 he formed his own artillery company, becoming a captain, before being appointed as aide-de-camp to Washington in 1777. A skilled military commander, his leadership was decisive in the Battle of Yorktown. After the war Hamilton went on to become a respected statesman, representing New York and the nation in the preservation of the principles of the revolution and formation of the new government.


'''Time Frame:''' [[Viking Age]]
|-|William Howe=
William Howe was the commander in chief of the British Army in North America (1776–78). Despite several military successes, he was unable to destroy the Continental Army and stem the American Revolution.\n \nWilliam Howe had been active in North America during the French and Indian War a few years earlier, where he earned a reputation as one of the army's most brilliant young generals. He initially captured New York in 1776 when the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Long Island and later led the campaign to capture Philadelphia. These victories were, however, not enough to defeat Washington's armies, and he resigned in 1778 to return to Britain.


'''Affiliation:''' The [[Hidden Ones]]
|-|Thomas Jefferson=
Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of \"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness\".\n


'''Key Allies:''' [[Sigurd Styrbjornsson]], [[Valka]], [[Hytham]], [[Deirdre Na Linni]]
|-|Marquis de Lafayette=
Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay. \n \nHe quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.

|-|Francis Lewis=
Francis Lewis was a Welsh-born merchant and patriot who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. As a dedicated radical in New York, he served in the Stamp Act Congress and was a member of the Committee of Sixty and the New York Provincial Congress before joining the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779. <br><br>During the Revolutionary War, Lewis utilized his commercial experience to help secure supplies for the Continental Army, particularly through his work on the Continental Board of Admiralty. His commitment to the patriot cause came at a high personal cost. Following the Battle of Long Island in 1776, British forces destroyed his estate in Queens and imprisoned his wife. While she was later released in a prisoner exchange, the harsh conditions of her captivity severely affected her health, leading to her death in 1779. Devastated by his wife's death, Lewis subsequently retired from politics, leaving Congress in 1779 and retiring completely by 1781.


"I am Eivor Varinsdottir, the Wolf-kissed, a Viking shieldmaiden and jarlskona from Norway. In the late 9th century, I embarked on daring raids that would shape the destiny of what would become England. But my story goes beyond mortal bounds, for I am believed to be the reincarnation of the Isu Odin, the chief of the Æsir and a god revered in Norse mythology.
|-|Hercules Mulligan=
Hercules Mulligan was a vital spy for the Continental Army and a dedicated patriot during the American Revolution. Raised in New York City, he was an early member of the Sons of Liberty and a close associate of Alexander Hamilton, whom he mentored and introduced to revolutionary ideals. Working as a successful tailor, Mulligan cultivated relationships with high-ranking British Officers, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence directly from the enemy. Despite the dangers of operating within British-occupied New York, he operated as a confidential correspondent for George Washington, supplying information that helped shape the war's outcome. <br><br>Mulligan is credited with saving Washington's life on two occasions by revealing plots to capture him. Even after being suspected of spying and briefly arrested, he continued his intelligence work with the help of his enslaved assistant, Cato. Following the war, Washington solidified Mulligan's reputation as a patriot by having breakfast with him shortly after the British evacuation of New York.


My journey began in the embrace of noble parents, Rosta and Varin, who pledged their allegiance to jarl Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson of the Raven Clan. Tragedy struck when they were killed during a raid on Heillboer, perpetrated by Kjotve the Cruel and his Wolf Clan. Left without kin, I found sanctuary in Styrbjorn's household, and I was raised alongside his son, Sigurd. The flames of retribution burned inside me as I dreamed to avenge my parents and seek glory in their name.
|-|Isaac Sears=
Isaac Sears was the public face of the Sons of Liberty in New York City, the second and perhaps most active chapter in the colonies. He was a prosperous merchant, like so many leaders of the underground rebel group. During the mid-1700s, he made fine income as a privateer, hunting the ships of imperial rivals for the British. Only when the Sugar Act brought an end to his trade in the West Indies did the sea captain turn against Britain. During the revolution he was a member of the Committee of Sixty and was involved in raids on British troops and in the destruction of Loyalist property throughout New York City.


As I grew into adulthood, I often waged raids on settlements affiliated with Kjotve, while Sigurd embarked on his own adventures across Europe. In the year 872, the return of Sigurd to Norway led to a pivotal encounter that would forever change my path—I met Basim Ibn Ishaq and Hytham, two members of the mysterious Hidden Ones. They bestowed upon me the Hidden Blade, a weapon of stealth and precision that would become my ally in the battle against our enemies. With their guidance and the aid of the army of Guthorm the Wise, I was able to strike down Kjotve, finally avenging my parents.
|-|Anna Strong=
Anna Smith Strong was the only recorded female member of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret network established to gather intelligence for General George Washington in British-occupied New York. Living in Setauket, Long Island, she utilized her position to pass messages while avoiding suspicion, partly because her relatives were Loyalists. <br><br>Strong's fame stems from the ingenious clothesline code which she used to signal Caleb Brewster, a courier who transported intelligence across the Long Island Sound. When a message was ready to be picked up, she would hang a black petticoat on her clothesline, clearly visible from across the bay. She would add a specific number of white handkerchiefs to indicate which of the six designated coves Brewster should use to meet his contact.


But my journey was far from over. Opposing Styrbjorn's decision to yield his kingdom to Harald Fairhair, many of the Raven Clan, including Sigurd, followed me to England. We settled in Ledecestrescire and founded Ravensthorpe, a sanctuary where we built our strength and forged alliances with the various kingdoms across the land. The Great Summer Army, the Sons of Ragnar, and Clan Hemmingsons were among the allies we gained, solidifying our position and preparing for the challenges ahead.
|-|George Washington=
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence. \n \nUnanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.

I took up arms alongside Hytham to rid England of the Order of the Ancients, a sinister organization threatening our newfound home. Little did I know that the Grand Maegester Alfred of Wessex secretly aided our cause, using our actions to further his own agenda, unknowingly paving the way for the emergence of the Templar Order.

;Passing Judgment
You are at Fraunces Tavern. In 1783, as the war came to an end, a joint British and American commission overseen by Brigadier General Birch convened here to review the claims of Black Loyalist ex-slaves seeking freedom and evacuation with the British Army. Boston King was one of these ex slaves. In this memory he presents his case to the panel to obtain a certificate of freedom.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head from City Hall towards Fraunces Tavern.


A year later, as the jarlskona of my clan, I received an invitation from my maternal cousin, Bárid mac Ímair, to join him in Dublin. There, I aided him in securing his throne through an alliance with Flann Sinna, the High King of Ireland. I also confronted the Children of Danu, a druidic cult determined to preserve their own faith against the encroachment of Norse and Christian beliefs.
;Historical details
In 1783, as the British prepared to evacuate New York at the end of the Revolutionary War, the city became the site of a tense and historic reckoning. During the conflict, British commanders had promised freedom to enslaved people who escaped Patriot owners and joined their lines, and thousands sought refuge in British occupied New York. <br><br>When peace was declared, American officials demanded the return of formerly enslaved people under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. To address the crisis, British authorities convened hearings at Fraunces Tavern, overseen by Brigadier General Samuel Birch. There, formerly enslaved Black Loyalists petitioned to prove they had served the British cause and were entitled to evacuation. These proceedings, later called the Birch trials, required testimony about military service and escape. Those who qualified had their names entered into what became known as the Book of Negroes and were granted passage to Nova Scotia and other parts of the British Empire. <br><br>More than 3,000 ultimately departed New York under British protection. For many, the evacuation marked the beginning of a new and uncertain chapter, but it also represented one of the earliest large scale emancipations in American history, unfolding in the final days of British rule in the city.


Years passed, and I participated in the second Viking siege of Paris, alongside Sigfred's Elgring Clan. We clashed with Charles the Fat, defending England from his avid pursuit of conquest. Amid the struggle, I uncovered a conspiracy orchestrated by the Bellatores Dei, a fanatical group seeking to purge Francia of its pagan roots.

Questions
|-|Consus=
The officer will ask you questions. You need to provide the right piece of evidence to answer him.
In ancient times, there lived a brilliant scientist known as Consus, also known as Prometheus. He was a gifted Precursor whose talent was crucial in creating the enigmatic Pieces of Eden. Working alongside Hephaistos, he contributed to crafting the powerful Swords of Eden.


However, as the war unfolded, Consus recognized the urgent need for advanced medical technology. He set his mind to design a remarkable device called the Shroud of Eden. This ingenious creation had the ability to scan and reconstruct a body, effectively healing injuries and restoring it to a predetermined state. It had one limitation, though – the Shroud could not reverse death itself.
Presenting Evidence
Tap on the haversack button to examine the items you can present as evidence. \n \nTap on an item to submit it for review.


As Consus approached the end of his natural life, he hatched a daring plan to overcome mortality. He decided to transfer his consciousness into the Shroud, hoping to evade the clutches of death. The transfer was a success, but it had an unforeseen consequence—Consus found himself trapped within the artifact, where he was eventually forgotten by time and history.
;What happens
*'''British Officer:''' [start] ''Good day, Boston King. I hope you are keeping well in these trying times. These trials are intended to enable us to demonstrate your suitability to receive a Certificate of Freedom. The certificate will give you passage to Nova Scotia and a new life. There are three questions to address. Let us begin.''


Centuries later, during the research conducted by the Capitoline Triad in their quest to survive the impending Toba Catastrophe, the Isu Juno stumbled upon the lost artifact. Discovering Consus trapped within the Shroud, Juno saw the opportunity to exploit his vast knowledge. She experimented with transferring Isu consciousness into artificial bodies, a daring endeavor that ultimately failed.
Evidence:
*Pay Records
**[Details] I managed to keep hold of my pay records despite the chaos of the war. Hopefully this will help.\n-\nCharles Town, the 1st Day of August, 1782 Received of the Paymaster of His Majesty's Forces, the sum of Eight Shillings, being one week's pay for Boston King, a Negro man employed with the troops in military duty and camp service. \nThe said Boston King having come within the British Lines and since served with the Army, is to receive the above allowance, or the equivalent in provisions, clothing, or other necessaries, as available. \nSigned, Deputy Paymaster\n
**[Boston King comment] These are my pay records from the army.
*Letter from Captain Grey
**[Details] I was given this letter from Captain Grey who I served under in the New York Volunteers.\n-\nI do hereby certify that Boston King, a Negro man, having formerly come within the British Lines in South Carolina, hath for some time served with me in the New York Volunteers, and hath conducted himself with fidelity and good behavior. \nGiven under my hand this fifteenth day of October, 1783. \nCaptain Grey, New York Volunteers\n
**[Boston King comment] I was given this letter from Captain Grey.
*A Herbal Remedy
**[Details] Using powdered yarrow root to help cuts and wounds heal was something that my mother taught me. She was so knowledgeable about herbal remedies having learned from the Native Americans in South Carolina. <br><br>Her literacy and love of learning have been a constant inspiration and I hope one day to be able to write an account of my life.
**[Boston King comment] I carried herbal remedies like this throughout the war.
*My British Uniform
**[Details] Though I started out as a servant to the British officers it wasn't long before I found myself in the uniform of the brave New York Volunteers. <br><br>As a former slave, I was often assigned the most dangerous missions. It was in 1781 when I was sent alone to gather reinforcements when my battalion was under siege at Nelson's Ferry. I narrowly avoided capture and returned to a hero's welcome.
**[Boston King comment] This is my uniform from the New York Volunteer British regiment.
*Dunmore's Proclamation
**[Details] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me freedom in exchange for the service that I have given as a Loyalist.<br><br>I was a young man when Loyalist forces seized Charlestown in May 1780 and I determined to throw myself into the hands of the English. They received me readily, and I began to feel the happiness of liberty. The impact of the Proclamation has been huge, 500 slaves left the day it was made and over 5,000 have since done so.
**[Boston King comment] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me my freedom.
*My Carpenters Tools
**[Details] I was 16 years old when I first apprenticed to a carpenter. He treated me very cruelly, and I was subject to frequent beating whenever a tool was misplaced. I was fortunate that my previous owner heard of my hardships and came to speak to him about my treatment.<br><br>The skills I learned there, no matter how unpleasantly, have enabled me to work for the British and the cause of my own Liberty\n
**[Boston King comment] These are the tools I used when I was a slave.


Throughout the ages, Consus managed to possess different users of the Shroud, offering them invaluable guidance and counsel. His wisdom proved instrumental to those fortunate enough to possess the powerful artifact.
*'''British Officer:''' [1st question] ''What proof can you bring that you were in His Majesty's Service or Loyal to the Crown and its officers?''
*'''British Officer:''' [1st answer] ''Very good. Your service in the British Army is ample evidence.''
*'''British Officer:''' [2nd question] ''Have you evidence to confirm your arrival at his Majesty's garrison prior to November, 1782?''
*'''British Officer:''' [2nd answer] ''Yes, that pay record demonstrates when you were serving.''
*'''British Officer:''' [3rd question] ''Can you show that you are not known to be a man of bad behavior?''
*'''British Officer:''' [3rd answer] ''Captain Grey clearly declares you of good character.''


However, fate took an unexpected turn in 2014. The Shroud faced destruction, and with it, Consus' consciousness appeared to be lost forever.
*'''British Officer:''' [Some wrong] ''I think that's just enough evidence to get that certificate.''

*'''British Officer:''' [All correct] ''Congratulations Sir. Your service qualifies you for a Certificate of Freedom.''

;Outcome
*Certificate of Freedom
In September 1783, Boston King was declared free and forever emancipated by order of Sir Guy Carleton. He was permitted to depart with the Black Loyalists for Nova Scotia.


The Shrouds of Eden are rare artifacts with mysterious healing capabilities whose earliest appearance can be traced back to Greek mythology. This specific Shroud represents one of Juno's first failed experiments to clone the technology developed by Consus. The result is a Shroud of Eden that maintains the original's extraordinary healing properties, significantly improving the wearer's physical faculties, but retains fragments of the consciousnesses of the Isu Consus and Juno. Both consciousnesses can speak with the wearer and attempt to possess them. For this reason, wearing the Shroud of Eden can be dangerous, eventually leading to insanity and death.

Not far from here, in 1781, British officers were billeted in the grand houses lining Broadway during the occupation of New York. Join Washington's Culper Spy Ring and use your role working in one of these houses to secretly gather information that could help the war.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head down revolutionary era Broadway towards a British occupied house.


While I was unraveling this intricate web of deceit and manipulation, I encountered a shocking revelation—my trusted Mentor Al Mualim was in league with the Templars. He sought to harness the power of the Apple for his own, nefarious purposes. To protect the Creed and preserve the delicate balance of power, I had no choice but to confront him. Al Mualim fell by my blade, and the Apple was retrieved, unveiling the hidden locations of other Pieces of Eden scattered across the globe.
;Historical details
Between 1776 and 1783 New York became a center of espionage! The most famous American spy network, known as the Culper Ring, reported directly to George Washington and relied on informants across the region.  British officers were often billeted in private homes, living alongside civilian families, which blurred the line between public war and private life. While American men such as the merchant and tailor Hercules Mulligan played important roles, much of the intelligence gathering depended on women, both free and enslaved, whose daily work allowed them to move through the city with less suspicion. <br><br>Domestic labor placed women in kitchens, parlors, markets, and streets where British officers spoke openly. They could observe troop movements, overhear conversations, and quietly pass along information through coded messages and trusted couriers. In a city filled with checkpoints and patrols, ordinary routines became acts of resistance. In occupied New York, intelligence gathered inside homes and boarding houses helped shape Washington's decisions and influence the course of the war.


In time, age and experience brought me wisdom, and I ascended to the position of Mentor within the Levantine Brotherhood. Driven by my newfound understanding, I initiated a series of reforms, transforming the Brotherhood into a more egalitarian and inclusive organization. I dedicated considerable time to the refinement of our equipment and delved deep into the secrets hidden within the Apple of Eden.
;Instructions
Objective
Agent 355, a member of Washington's Culper Ring, secretly gathered information on the British for the Revolution. <br><br>Search through the house and carefully gather important military intelligence from amongst the soldiers' items.


I compiled my vast knowledge and insights into a meticulously encoded collection I named the Codex. it contains a wealth of wisdom gleaned from the experiences of my life, as well as the profound knowledge imparted by the Apple. This invaluable resource chronicles my journey and may serve as a beacon of guidance for future generations of Assassins.
Detection
Your presence must go unnoticed. Avoid creaky floorboards and don't spend too long in the room, or suspicion will grow.\nWatch the suspicion indicator on your screen. If it fills up, it will be too dangerous to continue and the mission will end.


Thus, I, Altaïr, through trials and tribulations, evolved from a young and headstrong Assassin to a wise and revered Mentor. My legacy lives on in the reforms I instituted, the Codex I crafted, and the profound impact I left upon the Creed. May the wisdom and knowledge I have gathered guide those who come after me, and may the Brotherhood forever remain a beacon of hope in the eternal struggle against the forces that seek to control and oppress humanity.”

;Historical details
In August 1776, nearly 9,000 soldiers evacuated Manhattan in small boats. The Revolution had nearly collapsed. British forces overwhelmed the Continental Army on Long Island in the largest battle of the war. By August 29, George Washington and thousands of soldiers were trapped in Brooklyn, pinned against the East River with the Royal Navy blocking escape. If the army were captured, the rebellion might end before it had truly begun. <br><br>As night fell, a daring plan took shape. Under cover of darkness and aided by a thick fog that rolled in before dawn, soldiers began evacuating across the river in small boats. Experienced mariners from the region, including White, Black, and Native seafarers, quietly ferried troops to Manhattan while British warships sat unaware in the harbor. All night long, men, horses, and supplies crossed the water in near silence. <br><br>By morning, thousands of soldiers had escaped without detection. It was not a battlefield victory, but it was decisive. The survival of Washington's army ensured that the Revolution would continue, and New York became the setting for one of the war's most dramatic escapes.


"All my life, a fire of passion blazed in the depths of my soul, an energy that pushed me along an extraordinary path that eventually transformed me from a carefree youth into a respected leader among the noble Assassins. I was born into a family intertwined with the Brotherhood, but I wasn't aware of this heritage until my seventeenth year. It was then that the specter of tragedy fell upon us, when my father and brothers met their untimely demise at the merciless hands of executioners.
;Instructions

The Continental Army and Caesar Glover escaped Brooklyn. <br><br>Navigate to the highlighted area on the Manhattan docks without being detected.


I was rescued by my wise and noble uncle, Mario, who extended his guiding hand and welcomed me into the fold of the Assassins in the peaceful refuge of Monteriggioni. There, I learned the ways of our esteemed order under his watchful gaze, honing my skills and expanding my knowledge. Alas, that serene interlude didn't last, as we were soon besieged by the insidious Borgia, a powerful family owning its allegiance to our sworn enemy, the Templar Order. In their ruthless quest for power, they took the life of my dear uncle and wrested an Apple of Eden from our protective custody.
Steer the ship by drawing a circle on your screen to rotate the wheel. Drag the sail bar up or down to control speed.


Fueled by an unyielding determination to resist the corrupting influence of the Templars in Rome, I brought new companions to our cause. For many years, I poured my heart and soul into dismantling the Borgia's iron grip on the city, sparing no effort in liberating its people from their clutches.
Detection

Yet, my ambitions extended far beyond the confines of Italy. A thirst for knowledge consumed me, compelling me to undertake a monumental task: the search for and reassembly of the scattered pages of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex. I embarked on this quest to enrich the Brotherhood's techniques and uncover lost wisdom. The journey took me to the vast expanses of the Middle East, where I faced a desperate race against the Templars, as they too vied to possess the fabled treasures concealed within Altaïr's long-lost library.

*'''Caesar Glover:''' [halfProgress] ''If this fog lifts, we are done for sure. We will have to trust in fate.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [threequarterProgress] ''We are almost there! Hold fast!''


In the year 1512, standing at the threshold of that sacred library, I felt anticipation ripple through my veins. However, what lay inside defied my expectations. No volumes awaited, only the remnants of Altaïr himself, the lingering echoes of the Apple of Eden, and a Memory Seal etched with his final recollections.

With trepidation, I activated the Apple, unearthing its hidden truths. In that moment, a message from the enigmatic Precursors revealed itself, casting a blinding light on my purpose. I, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, recognized my role as a conduit between these ancient beings and a future generation of Assassins. It became clear that destiny had chosen me to transmit knowledge and vital information from one era to the next. Overwhelmed, I meticulously transcribed my experiences and the profound message from the Precursors onto the sacred pages of the Prophet's Codex.
;Outcome
 
*Escape successful!
Upon my return from the Masyaf library, I made a solemn decision. I chose to withdraw from the active duties of the Brotherhood, finding solace and love in the embrace of Sofia Sartor, a remarkable woman who had captured my heart. Together, we chose a life free from the shadows, raising a family and savoring the tranquility that had long eluded me. Although my days as an active Assassin had drawn to a close, the flame of passion and purpose continued to burn brightly within, forever reminding me of the extraordinary odyssey that had shaped me into the man I had become."

In 1783, with the British still in control of New York, Sir Guy Carleton commissioned an investigation into the causes of the devastating fire of 1776.

Speak to people present at the time of the fire, help prepare an investigation, and accuse someone of being the cause.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York that were destroyed by the fire and begin questioning the suspects.


'''Time Frame:''' [[Ming Dynasty]]
;Historical details
On September 20, 1776, just days after British forces captured New York, a massive fire broke out and spread rapidly across lower Manhattan. Fueled by wooden buildings and strong winds, the flames destroyed nearly one fifth of the city. Churches, homes, warehouses, and vital infrastructure were reduced to ashes. <br><br>As autumn approached, thousands of residents including Loyalists, British soldiers, formerly enslaved people seeking refuge, and civilians caught between loyalties were left homeless. Much of the city became a patchwork of tents and temporary shelters, reshaping life in British occupied New York for the rest of the war. Suspicion quickly followed. British authorities arrested several individuals, accusing revolutionaries of setting the blaze to sabotage the occupation. <br><br>In 1783, just weeks before evacuating the city, Commander in Chief Sir Guy Carleton ordered another investigation. Officials reported possible incendiary evidence and conflicting eyewitness testimony, but no definitive cause was proven. Historians continue to debate whether the fire was accidental or deliberate. The Great Fire of 1776 remains one of the most destructive disasters in New York's history and a stark reminder that the Revolution unfolded not only in battles, but in a city divided by fear and uncertainty.

Notes
I was born into the bonds of royal captivity, destined to become an imperial concubine. I was esteemed for my agility and discretion, and during my travels as a companion to Emperor Zhengde, my talents were honed in the art of espionage. Little did I know that his demise would reveal a secret war between the Templar faction known as the Eight Tigers and the Brotherhood of Assassins.

At the tender age of sixteen, I was liberated from my gilded cage by the Assassins, forever grateful to those who had delivered me from my plight. Immersed in the ways of the Brotherhood, I vowed to return and liberate my fellow concubines from their chains. But, alas, I arrived too late, for the cruel hand of the new emperor had tortured and extinguished the lives of most, revealing his sadistic nature to the world.

The Emperor Jiajing unleashed a ruthless campaign to obliterate the Brotherhood in China, aided by the treacherous Eight Tigers led by the cunning Zhang Yong. Many of my brethren were killed, forced into hiding or compelled to flee to foreign lands for their safety. Determined to find new allies, I embarked on a perilous journey to Italy, where I sought the counsel of the legendary Ezio Auditore, who had retired from active duty in 1524. His sage advice guided me on the path to rebuilding the Brotherhood in my homeland.

'Twas then that I sought redemption, training in the ways of the Assassins.


Having secured a pardon for my piratical escapades, I returned to England, where I ascended to the title of co-leader of the British Brotherhood.

*Accused: John Baltus Dash
You have accused the Fire Chief of starting the fire. He buried his own valuables before the fire broke out, suggesting he knew what was coming, and, despite being a known loyalist, he didn't inform the British. His behavior is suspicious, but the evidence is circumstantial and not conclusive.
*Accused: General William Howe
You have accused the British forces of causing the fire, either through malice or incompetence. While British troops were seen looting buildings and numerous Revolutionary supporters were later arrested, the evidence against them remains circumstantial and inconclusive.
*Accused: General George Washington
You have accused the Revolutionary forces of being involved in deliberately starting the fire. General Washington's outspoken desire to deny the British the city, the presence of unexploded incendiaries, and the removal of church bells by American soldiers all point to planned sabotage - but the evidence remains circumstantial and inconclusive.

'''Main Opponents:''' [[Pierre, Marquis de Fayet|Marquis de Fayet]]
;Historical details
The Revolution was almost lost, not with a grand battle or cunning act of espionage, but with a shortage of supplies. When George Washington took command in 1775, he discovered the evolutionary army had a critical shortage of supplies. The shortages included food, clothing, and weaponry, however the most critical was with Gunpowder. With only 38 barrels of gunpowder, equivalent to just nine rounds per soldier, in the stores they were almost unable to fight the British. <br><br>America lacked the natural deposits of saltpeter that was needed to create their own and as a result they were reliant on imports, largely from their allies in France. These supplies were largely shipped across the Atlantic then via French colonies in the Caribbean. These routes sought to avoid the British blockades and seizures, a process that required a deep understanding of international shipping. <br><br>The newly formed American army turned to people like Francis Lewis, successful merchants who has taken up the patriot cause despite the risks to both their life and fortunes. This approach saw moderate success and led to several crucial clandestine shipments reaching America in 1777, supplies that enabled the army to engage in some of the most important early battles.

'''Affiliation:''' [[American Brotherhood of Assassins|Colonial Brotherhood]]
;Historical details
After Parliament repealed the Stamp Act, New Yorkers marked the moment by raising what became known as a liberty pole on the Common, near where British soldiers drilled. \nIn the 1760s, new British taxes and trade regulations had sparked fierce protests, especially among maritime workers and laborers who felt the economic strain most directly. The streets were a battleground.<br><br>The tall white pine mast, timber normally reserved for Royal Navy ships, rose above the barracks with a flag proclaiming liberty. It was meant to provoke. British troops and Loyalists repeatedly cut the pole down, and each time supporters of the Patriot cause raised another. <br><br> The conflict escalated into street fighting known as the Battle of Golden Hill, often described as the first bloodshed of the Revolution in New York. During the later British occupation, liberty poles continued to appear as symbols of resistance. Some were reinforced with metal bands or greased to prevent soldiers from climbing them. These towering masts were more than protest signs. They were bold declarations that even under imperial authority, many New Yorkers refused to surrender the idea of self government.

"I humbly share my story, born as the unfortunate offspring of the British Templar Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io, my beloved mother. The burden of this truth weighs heavily on my spirit, for I believe that the Templar Order was directly responsible for my village's destruction, and my mother's demise during the Seven Years' War.
Finalizing
When you have finished designing, tap on the check mark on the paper at the bottom of the easel to finalize your Liberty Pole.


In the turbulent years of my adolescence, destiny set me on a path fraught with challenges. At this time, I chanced upon a cursed relic, a Piece of Eden concealed inside a Crystal Ball. The relic showed me a vision of flying like an eagle, while ominous whispers compelled me to seek a sign. The vision lit my spirit with a sacred fire, binding me to the duty of safeguarding my homeland from the insidious grasp of the Templars.

*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [end] ''With every flag flown and every voice calling out in dissent, the support for the cause grows, my friend.''


Fueled by a ferocious thirst for justice, I embarked on a hunt that brought me to meet Achilles, a former chief of the Assassins. I prayed to him to share his wisdom and skills, dreaming of standing against the Templars and fighting for America's liberty and independence. In the year 1770, after harrowing trials and tribulations, I was reborn as the Assassin I was meant to be, embracing a new name—Connor.
;Outcome
*Liberty Pole Raised!
You successfully raised a Liberty Pole in front of the British barracks, sending a clear message to the occupying forces. It may be cut down, but a new one will be raised in its place.


Unyielding in my resolve, I fought ceaselessly to reclaim the nascent nation from the Templar's poisoning roots. I joined the American Patriots, seeking to cast off the shackles of the British dictators, and I became an agent of their Revolution. However, the shadows of disillusionment soon fell over my path like tempestuous clouds as I witnessed the cruel, horrific treatment inflicted upon my fellow Natives by those whose freedom I was fighting for. Desperately chasing after my visions of freedom and unity, I even went as far as trying to reconcile myself with my father, the esteemed Grand Master of the Colonial Rite. Yet, the ethical and moral divide between us eventually forced me to use my hidden blade against him.
;Log
Alongside Sons of Liberty member Isaac Sears, I designed and raised my own Liberty Pole in protest against British occupation.


Thanks also to my efforts, the Revolution granted political rights for men and women, freeing them from the grasp of the Templars. Still, my spirit could not escape the burden of failure, for the marginalized and indigenous communities remained entangled in the oppressive web of inequality. My loyalty to the Creed demanded a bitter toll, where the sacrifice of a worthy few became the price to pay for protecting the many.

;Nine Men's Morris
1779 New York, occupied by the British, was torn apart by war, its streets shared uneasily by loyalists, patriots, and those caught somewhere in between. Take a moment's respite from the simmering tensions to sit here at City Hall Park, and play Nine Men's Morris with people with differing opinions on the war.<br><br>Enter the streets and taverns of revolutionary era New York to find a game.


In the end, I found relief in the embrace of a woman. Our union became a safe harbor that gave birth to three precious souls. I nurtured the intuitive connection to the land of my youngest daughter, Io:nhiòte, teaching her the ancient ways of tracking and hunting. In the pictographs of my existence, I acknowledge the many limitations and disillusionments that mar my noble intentions, looking forward to those brief moments of contentment that still light a flicker of hope in a world drenched in injustice."
;Historical details
|-|Mihšihkinaahkwa's Apple of Eden=
Nine Men's Morris was a popular strategy game during the American Revolution and was played by soldiers and civilians alike. Boards were scratched into stone tavern tables, barrack walls, and public spaces across New York. Taverns and coffee houses were central gathering places where people shared news, argued politics, and passed the time. The rules of the game were simple: place your pieces carefully, block your opponent, and trap them until they could no longer move. But the strategy required patience and calculation. <br><br>In the 1770s, New Yorkers were engaged in a far more dangerous contest. Debates over Parliament's taxes and British authority filled these same public spaces. When talk turned to independence, the city divided. Some residents still considered themselves British and supported the Crown. Others were uncertain, worried about challenging the world's most powerful empire. Many favored resistance but disagreed about whether armed conflict was the answer. Class, occupation, faith, and neighborhood shaped opinion, and choosing a side carried real risk. Like Nine Men's Morris, the struggle for New York required careful moves. One wrong decision could leave you exposed in a city where politics, loyalty, and survival were deeply intertwined.

*'''Charles Inglis:''' [end] ''Well played.''


"I, Arno Victor Dorian, will recount the tumultuous tale of my life. The son of an Assassin, I was born into a world of intrigue and shadows. I was raised by my father Charles in Versailles, as my mother Marie left us upon discovering his clandestine activities, until the fateful day when he was killed, his life cruelly taken by the hand of a Templar, Shay Cormac.

In the year 1789 I languished within the confines of the Bastille, falsely accused of my adoptive father's murder. There, the veils of deception began to unravel when I met Pierre Bellec, a Master Assassin, who revealed the truth of my ancestral Assassin heritage. Under his guidance, I honed my skills, preparing to avenge my biological and adoptive fathers' deaths.

*You won!
Quick wit and smart strategy were needed to win the game. Why not try against one of the other people from the city?


Emerging from the darkness of the Bastille, I embraced the mantle of the Brotherhood, my purpose infused with righteous fury. Though Élise was a member of the Templar Order, she perceived the dangers lurking within its ranks, and she joined forces with me to expose those who manipulated the turbulent tides of the French Revolution for nefarious gains.
;Log
Taking a moment's respite from the simmering tensions in the city I sat and played Nine Men's Morris with several people with differing opinions on the war.


Eventually, a series of unfortunate events led to the demise of the Parisian Brotherhood Mentor, Honoré Mirabeau, killed by Bellec. This thrust me into a harrowing duel with my former teacher—I emerged victorious from that clash, but carrying a heavy burden.
|-|Press=
;Printing Pressure
You are standing on Hanover Square where printers used to work in the many buildings around this area. In 1775 tensions between Loyalists and Patriots were running high.  Printers were publishing the latest news arriving into the city on the packet ships. Take to the printing press, assemble different articles, and print your newspaper.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head towards the Hanover Square print shop.


The Brotherhood exiled me, deeming my actions to be part of a personal vendetta. Yet, fate guided my steps back towards Élise's side. Together, we unraveled the machinations of the new Templar Grand Master, François-Thomas Germain. We faced him beneath the hallowed grounds of the Parisian Temple, where both Germain and my beloved Élise met their end.
;Historical details
By the mid eighteenth century, New York had become the communications capital of colonial America. With a regular packet ship connection to England, news from Europe arrived here first and spread outward to other colonies. At Hanover Square near the East River waterfront, merchants, sailors, and printers gathered to exchange information that shaped public opinion. <br><br>During the imperial crisis after 1763, printers played a powerful role in the growing debate over Britain's authority. One of the most controversial was James Rivington. In 1773 he launched the New York Gazette, and its outspoken Loyalist tone won support from British officials while angering revolutionaries. In 1775 a Patriot mob destroyed his printshop and forced him to flee to London. <br><br>When British forces captured New York in 1777, Rivington returned as the King's official printer, publishing newspapers that defended royal rule. Yet the story did not end there. Evidence later suggested that he secretly supplied information to George Washington's spy network. In a city divided by war, the press became its own battlefield, and loyalty was often far more complicated than it first appeared.


Consumed by grief, I abandoned the Assassin's path, seeking peace in solitude. However, the relentless tide of revolutionary France refused to release its grip upon me. Compelled to action, I intervened, thwarting Napoleon Bonaparte's insidious schemes to unearth a hidden Precursor Temple beneath the Basilica of Saint-Denis and seize the Apple of Eden concealed within.
;Instructions
Objective
Alongside James Parker, a printer in occupied New York, you must use the printing press to create a newspaper. <br><br>The articles are politically varied and what you choose will determine your future.


Guided by Élise's poignant final wish, I devoted myself to bridging the chasm that divided the Templar and Assassin factions. In honor of her memory, I pledged to forge a path of unity. May my actions serve as a beacon of hope, illuminating a future where the clash of blades is replaced by a shared purpose."

**Let none, Economy, disdain to hear\nThy doctrines salutary, sage, and clear:\nOf them, observant thro' our lives, we ne'er\nShall by grim Want be driv'n to despair?\nOf them observant, we, in ev'ry state,\nClass'd with the low, the little, or the great,\nShall keep in view the standard of expence,\nWhich proves the strongest, surest test of sense:\nIf we through weakness, vanity or pride,\nTake not that standard as a faithful guide,\nWe may, with all the wealth beneath the sun,\nBy false seducers lur'd, to ruin run:\nEven those who, pow'rful, keep the Treasury keys,\nThe nation's wealth, dividing, as they please,\nWithout thy vital, influential aid,\nMay blast the best designs of lib'ral trade,\nAnd with the happiest measures the land to bless,\nFind numerous ways to spread around distress.
*This article, written by the newspaper printed James Rivington, advocates for the freedom of the press.
**To the Public.\nAs many Publications have appeared from my Press which have given great Offence to the Colonies, and particularly to many of my Fellow Citizens; I am therefore led, by a most sincere Regard for their favourable Opinion, to declare to the Public, that Nothing which I have ever done, has proceeded from any Sentiments in the least unfriendly to the Liberties of this Continent, but altogether from the Ideas I entertained of the Liberty of the Press, and of my duty as a Printer. <br><br>I am led to make this free and public Declaration to my Fellow Citizens, which I hope they will consider as a sufficient Pledge of my Resolution, for the future, to conduct my Press upon such Principles as shall not give Offence to the Inhabitants of the Colonies in general, and of this City in particular, to which I am connected by the tenderest of all human Ties, and in the Welfare of which I shall consider my own as inseparably involved.<br><br>James Rivington.\nNEW-YORK, April 27, 1775.\n


'''Key Allies:''' Henry Green ([[Jayadeep Mir]]), [[Alexander Graham Bell]], [[Frederick Abberline]]
Cartoons:

'''Main Opponents:''' [[Crawford Starrick]], [[Lucy Thorne]]
;Outcome
*Printing pressure
[LOYALIST] Your pro-British articles will find favor with some in New York, but should the British be defeated, expect trouble.
[REVOLUTIONARY] You've backed the Revolutionary cause with your published articles, winning favor with some in New York - as long as you can avoid being shut down or forced out of the city.


"Let me tell ya a story ‘bout the blood that runs through our veins, the Frye twins, Jacob and Evie, born of Assassin lineage. We were raised in the bosom of the Brotherhood, molded by our old man's wisdom, layin' the groundwork for what was to come.
;Log
With tensions between Loyalists and Patriots running high in New York I joined the printers in Hanover Square and assembled different articles to print my own newspaper.


Now, my dear brother Jacob, he was always one to buck the system. Our paths diverged on how we approached the “Assassin game”. Me, Evie, I valued knowledge and stayin' hidden, seein' those Pieces of Eden as the key to everythin'. The fate of the world depended on ‘em, in my eyes. Jacob, though, was impulsive, and couldn't resist divin' headfirst into danger, not a thought for the consequences.
|-|Statue=
;Tearing down the King
The statue is gone now, but in 1776, revolutionary supporters gathered here on the Bowling Green, at the foot of the British-controlled fort, around a statue of King George. General Washington did one of the first readings of the Declaration of Independence here. Join the riot alongside Issac Sears and throw ropes onto the statue of King George to topple it.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head towards Bowling green.


But despite our differences, it was like a bloody orchestra when we worked together. We complemented each other's strengths and made up for the other's weaknesses. And that's when the Frye twins became a force to be reckoned with, a sight that struck fear deep into our enemies' hearts.
;Historical details
On July 9, 1776, crowds gathered in what is now City Hall Park to hear the Declaration of Independence read aloud to Washington's troops and the public. With those words, the colonies renounced their allegiance to King George III and declared themselves free states. The news echoed across a city already on edge, as British warships filled the harbor and redcoats stood in nearby barracks.<br><br>That evening, energized by the declaration, a group of sailors and laborers marched down Broadway to Bowling Green, just outside Fort George, the center of British power in New York. Inside the iron fence stood a towering gilded statue of King George III, erected only a few years earlier as a symbol of imperial authority. By torchlight, the crowd pulled the 4,000 pound lead statue from its pedestal and broke it apart while onlookers cheered. <br><br>The fragments were later sent to Connecticut, where much of the metal was melted down and recast into bullets for the Continental Army. In a single night, a royal monument became ammunition, and the Revolution in New York moved from bold words to visible defiance in the streets.


Our tale is woven into the fabric of the Brotherhood. We carved our way through history, hell-bent on seekin' justice, freein' mankind from the Templars' iron grip. Remember, the Frye twins' bravery will forever be a light in the darkness, provin' that even the oppressed can rise against their oppressors!"
;Instructions
Objective
Rioters toppled the statue of King George at the Bowling Green.<br><br>Throw ropes onto the statue to pull it down.


"Now, gather ‘round, listen up! It's Jacob speakin' here, spillin' the beans ‘bout our adventures. Evie and I said sod it to our mentor's advice and set up shop in the grand ol' city of London, ready to give those Templar bastards a good thrashin'.
Ropes
Tap and hold on the pile of ropes, then swipe toward the statue to throw and attach them.


We teamed up with a bloke named Henry Green, a true Assassin, and we had our own little mission goin'. Our plan? Stick it to the Templar-backed Blighters and rid the city of their filth.
Topple
Once three ropes are attached to the statue, rapidly tap the screen when prompted to topple it.


That's when the real fun began. We formed the Rooks, a gang of fierce fighters ready to shank the Templars and their cronies. Yours truly, Jacob Frye, led the charge, bashin' heads, and takin' names. We fought for justice, breakin' the chains of the poor sods workin' in factories, treated like dirt. We made ‘em reckon with the power of the people.
;What happens
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [Start] ''Right, chaps, you heard him; we have broken free of the tyranny of the King.''
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [FirstRope] ''Right, chaps, we'll need two more ropes to topple him.''
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [AllRopes] ''That should do it. Now pull with all your might, patriots!''
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [PullStart] ''He's starting to topple. Keep at it and show them our commitment to independence.''
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [PullSecond] ''We almost have it down. Pull!''
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [Topple] ''This is where it starts; we'll cast this into bullets and send them to the King one shot at a time.''


While I was raisin' hell, Evie, the clever one, had her sights on them Pieces of Eden. She was all in to keep the Templars from gettin' their grubby hands on that Shroud of Eden, a powerful artifact they were itchin' for.
;Outcome
*Statue Toppled
The statue of King George has been toppled! The conviction of New York to oppose the occupation by the British forces and resist their tyranny has been made clear to all.


But here's the kicker, mates. Even with our different approaches and personal missions, the Frye twins left a mark on history. We set London on fire, liberatin' the city from a century of Templar tyranny. We even saved the bloody Queen, herself. The Crown couldn't ignore our dash an' derring-do, and knighted us for it. The British Brotherhood rose to new heights, all thanks to us.
;Log
Joining the riot in front of the British fort, I worked with Patriot Isaac Sears and toppled the statue of King George.


Evie, always wanderin' like a restless soul, buggered off to India after tyin' the knot with Henry Green. She got mixed up with the Indian Brotherhood, fightin' the good fight over there. But she couldn't resist a return to London in 1872. Her and Henry tried to help this bloke Abberline, tryin' to stop some Templar scumbag from nickin' pages outta the Voynich manuscript in the British Museum. Didn't quite succeed, but it didn't stop ‘em from headin' back to India, trainin' British Assassins and teachin' ‘em every trick from the Indian Brotherhood.
|-|Turtle=
;The Turtle
In 1776, with American forces in control of New York, Sergeant Lee launched David Bushnell's newly invented Turtle submersible along this bank overlooking the East River. Pilot it undetected beneath the Royal Navy ships, in an attempt to sink the British flagship.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York and head to the Turtle launch location.


So there ya have it, mates. The epic tale of the Frye twins, kickin' arse, makin' history, and turnin' the tide against them Templar wankers. We're legends, and ain't nobody takin' that away from us."
;Historical details
|-|Aegis of Minerva=
In 1775, inventor David Bushnell created a remarkable new weapon that looked more like a wooden barrel than a machine of war. Called the Turtle, it is considered the world's first military submarine. Powered by hand and foot, the one person vessel included ballast pumps to control depth, a compass, a depth gauge, and an early screw propeller. Bushnell designed it to carry an explosive charge that could be attached to the hull of a British warship, hoping to disrupt the blockade tightening around New York. <br><br>When Bushnell fell ill, the mission fell to a young volunteer, Ezra Lee. In September 1776, after the British captured the city, Washington approved an attack on General William Howe's flagship, the 64 gun HMS Eagle. Under cover of darkness, Lee pedaled from the Battery toward the massive warship and attempted to drill into its hull to secure the explosive. A metal plate prevented him from attaching the charge, and as he surfaced, British guards began to stir. Lee released the timed device and escaped. The explosion caused little damage, but the attempt was groundbreaking. <br><br>Though the Turtle saw limited use before being lost later that year, it marked the beginning of underwater warfare and showcased American ingenuity in desperate times.

;Instructions
Objective
Take on the role of Sergeant Lee and navigate the Turtle submersible through the Royal Navy blockade to the British flagship, the HMS Eagle.


As the ancient tales go, the Aegis was said to have been worn in battle by the Isu Minerva herself. Many millennia passed, the skilled Assassin Michel Reuge discovered the elusive Aegis in the vicinity of Bath, England. Recognizing its significance, he stashed the artifact in an abandoned bank vault beneath London.

|-|The Sages=
Aita was an Isu scientist and Juno's husband. As the Toba Catastrophe approached, Aita volunteered to test one of the methods the Capitoline Triad (Jupiter, Minerva, and Juno) had devised to survive the disaster—the transference of Isu consciousness into an artificial body. The experiment failed, and Aita was left trapped inside the surrogate body, slowly driven insane by his predicament. Juno could neither heal nor rescue Aita and was forced to put him out of his misery. Before doing so, Juno preserved his genetic material by inserting it into human DNA in order to create the Sages. By this means, Aita has been reincarnated in a series of humans over the millennia, each Sage echoing his physical appearance and his opinions concerning the inferiority of the human race. Aita's goal is to manifest Juno in physical form so that they may be reunited.
|-|Sword of Mars=
'''Known Owners:''' [[Romulus]], [[Arthur Pendragon]], [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], [[Niamh of Argyll]]


'''Current Status:''' Hidden by the [[Women of the Mist]]
Movement
Tap the highlighted levers to access the controls. You can control the direction and propulsion with the slider.


The Sword of Mars was one of the Swords of Eden, created by the Isu scientist Hephaestus to use in the fight during the War of Unification.
Navigation
Use the map to track your position and the British ships.


Later, the Isu Mars bestowed this powerful Piece of Eden upon the twins Romulus and Remus. With this sword, Mars aimed to counter the baleful actions of the Isu Juno, laying the foundation for a realm where humans could be free.
Detection and hazards
Be careful to avoid hazards such as rocks and anchors from the British ships. You can check for ships and rocks on your map.


When the sword arrived in the lands of Albion, it took the name Excalibur (or Caladfwlch in Welsh). Initially held at Avalon by a Celtic clan called the Women of the Mist, the sword served as a sacred relic and played a crucial role in determining the Lady of Avalon. By the 5th or 6th century, the sword became lodged in a stone and was later pulled out by Arthur Pendragon, who used it to lead Britain against the Anglo-Saxons. After Arthur's betrayal and death, Excalibur, considered one of the thirteen Treasures of Britain, was hidden in an Isu vault beneath Myrddin's Cave.
The Bomb
When you reach the British flagship, tap on the highlighted handle to activate the drill and attempt to attach the bomb.


In the late-9th century, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir claimed Excalibur, but different factions, including the Women of the Mist, the Order of the Ancients, and the Descendants of the Round Table, sought to obtain the sword. The sword had become more than a mere weapon; it symbolized control and authority over all of England under one king.
;What happens
*'''Designer:''' [start] ''Greetings, Sergeant. Board the submersible when you are ready to start your mission. The weather is good, but you will need to rely on your compass and map. Good luck!''


The Women of the Mist entrusted Niamh of Argyll to recover Excalibur and with the help of the Hidden Ones, represented by Hytham and Marcella she successfully safeguarded Excalibur and sought refuge at Valka's. Tensions arose as the Descendants attempted to seize the sword, but Niamh, Valka, and Hytham thwarted their efforts.
*'''Pilot:''' [start] ''I'm glad I've got a little light from the fungi. Without that, it would be awfully dark down here.''
*'''Pilot:''' [quarter] ''Once I've sunk the British flagship, we'll be striking a blow at the British and raising morale. I've just got to avoid detection.''
*'''Pilot:''' [half] ''I don't think I'll ever get used to these controls. Bushnell may be a genius, but this is not exactly simple.''
*'''Pilot:''' [three quarters] ''Almost there now, not much further to go.''
*'''Pilot:''' [Flagship] ''There is their flagship! Now to attach the bomb with the right hand lever.''
*'''Pilot:''' [bomb] ''Darn it all. I've succeeded in getting here but the bomb won't affix!''


Collaborating on a strategic plan, the trio deceived the Descendants with a replica sword, ensuring the safe return of the real Excalibur to Avalon. Niamh presented Excalibur to the Women of the Mist, confirming her destiny as the chosen Lady of Avalon. A few years later, however, the danger posed by the Descendants of the Round Table recurred, and Eivor and Niamh fought together to prevent the sword from falling into the wrong hands.

Boston People of the Revolution[edit | edit source]

John Adams was a foundational figure of the American Revolution. A Harvard-educated lawyer from Massachusetts, Adams rose to prominence by opposing the 1765 Stamp Act, serving as a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and working to build the newly formed American navy. While sympathetic to the patriot cause, his belief in the rule of law led him to successfully defend British soldiers involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. In Congress, he was instrumental in persuading delegates to declare independence, nominating George Washington as commander of the Continental Army, and playing a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Later, he was central in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. Adams later authored the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, influencing the future U.S. Constitution. He served as the first vice president under Washington and as the second president of the United States.

Born in Boston, Samuel Adams was a pivotal Founding Father, political philosopher, and civic leader who galvanized colonial resistance against British authority. He strongly opposed the Stamp Act and other parliamentary taxation measures, leading to his involvement in the formation and operation of the Sons of Liberty in Boston. During the 1760s and 1770s he coordinated anti-British activities both within Boston and across the colonies, including the Boston Tea Party.

As a delegate to the Continental Congress, Adams was a firm advocate for separating from Britain, signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was also involved in drafting the Articles of Confederation and, after the war, served as governor of Massachusetts.

Crispus Attucks was one of the first casualties of the American Revolution. As an escaped slave working as a sailor and dock worker in Boston, he became a protest leader and the first victim of the Boston Massacre. During the confrontation with British soldiers on King Street, Attucks stood at the forefront of a crowd, demanding that the soldiers leave. When the soldiers opened fire, Attucks was shot twice in the chest, dying instantly.

Although his death was used as political propaganda to fuel anti-British sentiment during the period, his status as a martyr was cemented by 19th-century abolitionists who highlighted his sacrifice as a testament to Black patriotism.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers. A seasoned diplomat in London, he initially opposed the Stamp Act and, upon returning to America, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. One of his most significant contributions to the Revolution was serving as the primary American envoy to France from 1776 to 1778. Using his fame as a scientist and diplomatic expertise, he secured essential French financial and military support. This support is widely regarded as being instrumental in turning the tide of the war.

Franklin is the only Founding Father to sign all three major documents establishing the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Treaty of Paris ending the war (1783), and the U.S. Constitution (1787).

John Hancock was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot leader during the American Revolution. Inheriting a massive fortune from his uncle, Hancock became one of New England's wealthiest men and used this wealth and influence to oppose British taxation policies. His defiance made him popular in Boston, particularly after customs officials seized his ship, the Liberty, in 1768 on charges of smuggling.

Hancock served as the President of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, and after the war, he served as the first and third Governor of Massachusetts. He is best known for being the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, doing so with a large, bold signature to defy King George III.

Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness".

Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay.

He quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.

After returning to France after the war, Lafayette remained a lifelong friend of the United States and was granted honorary U.S. citizenship in 2002.

Paul Revere was a prominent Boston silversmith, industrialist, and dedicated Patriot. A leading member of the Sons of Liberty, Revere organized intelligence networks to monitor British troops and co-originated anti-British agitation, including taking part in the 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the war, Revere served in the Massachusetts Militia and manufactured gunpowder for the Continental Army.

He is most well known for his dramatic midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn colonists of advancing British forces. Following instructions, a "one if by land, two if by sea" signal was placed in the Old North Church, alerting Revere to the British route across the Charles River. Along with William Dawes and others, Revere spread the alarm from Boston to Lexington, enabling leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams to escape and allowing militiamen to prepare for the crucial battles of Lexington and Concord. Though captured by a British patrol shortly after his ride, his mission was successful. This was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1861 poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" transforming him into a lasting symbol of American independence and civic bravery.

Joseph Warren was a Founding Father of the United States and a central leader in the Patriot movement in Boston during the early American Revolution. A respected physician and member of the Sons of Liberty, Warren became a key political organizer. He often acted as a master spy, utilizing his intelligence network to stay ahead of British movements. Notably, on April 18, 1775, it was Warren who dispatched Paul Revere and William Dawes on their famous midnight ride to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British march toward Lexington and Concord.

Despite having little formal military training, Warren was later appointed a major general and showed immense courage by volunteering as a private soldier in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he was killed in action at age 34.

George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence.

Unanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.

NYC People of the Revolution[edit | edit source]

Caesar was one of hundreds of sailors, White and Black, who helped the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in 1776, enabling the rebellion to survive. Born in Africa, he was enslaved as a child and brought to North America.

Somehow, he earned his freedom, and in 1775 he joined the Revolution as part of the Marblehead regiment. This group of seamen manned the boats in the New Jersey and New York campaigns, including the famous crossing of the Delaware River. Black New Englanders like Caesar were among the Continental Army's first recruits, 150 of whom carried Washington's troops from Brooklyn Heights to Peck Slip in August 1776. The amateur military, greatly outnumbered, was badly defeated in Long Island. But they were saved by a thick fog, an early historian writing that no one in the region could remember any such weather “within the space of twenty or thirty years\". If not for the skill of mariners like Caesar, military historians agree, no more than half of the decimated rebel army would have escaped.

Nathan Hale is one of the American Revolution's most famous spies and one of its earliest martyrs. Having volunteered to stay in New York after the Battle of Long Island in order to pass information to the Revolutionary cause, the 21-year-old Patriot was hanged by the occupying British government on September 22, 1776. This underscored the importance of effective espionage practices for the rebels.

Alongside George Washington's spy ring on Long Island, intelligence-gathering was far more commonly done by everyday unsung heroes of the cause. Knowledge is typically passed mouth to mouth, through both formal and informal communication networks. Waitresses overhearing conversation between officers in a tavern passed information on to rebel informants. Slaves moving goods from city to country reported on the British army's health. Families permitted to cross battlefield lines to visit relatives shared observations in conversation and correspondence.\n

Alexander Hamilton was one of George Washington's trusted advisers during the American Revolution and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in 1757 in the West Indies, he was orphaned at the age of 11. His cleverness showed early, and his employers pooled their money to send him to university. Hamilton moved to New York in 1773 and began attending King's College (later Columbia University). By 1774, he was writing pro-rebel articles, and by 1775 he'd joined the volunteer militia to oppose the British. \n \nIn 1776 he formed his own artillery company, becoming a captain, before being appointed as aide-de-camp to Washington in 1777. A skilled military commander, his leadership was decisive in the Battle of Yorktown. After the war Hamilton went on to become a respected statesman, representing New York and the nation in the preservation of the principles of the revolution and formation of the new government.

William Howe was the commander in chief of the British Army in North America (1776–78). Despite several military successes, he was unable to destroy the Continental Army and stem the American Revolution.\n \nWilliam Howe had been active in North America during the French and Indian War a few years earlier, where he earned a reputation as one of the army's most brilliant young generals. He initially captured New York in 1776 when the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Long Island and later led the campaign to capture Philadelphia. These victories were, however, not enough to defeat Washington's armies, and he resigned in 1778 to return to Britain.

Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of \"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness\".\n

Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay. \n \nHe quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.

Francis Lewis was a Welsh-born merchant and patriot who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. As a dedicated radical in New York, he served in the Stamp Act Congress and was a member of the Committee of Sixty and the New York Provincial Congress before joining the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779.

During the Revolutionary War, Lewis utilized his commercial experience to help secure supplies for the Continental Army, particularly through his work on the Continental Board of Admiralty. His commitment to the patriot cause came at a high personal cost. Following the Battle of Long Island in 1776, British forces destroyed his estate in Queens and imprisoned his wife. While she was later released in a prisoner exchange, the harsh conditions of her captivity severely affected her health, leading to her death in 1779. Devastated by his wife's death, Lewis subsequently retired from politics, leaving Congress in 1779 and retiring completely by 1781.

Hercules Mulligan was a vital spy for the Continental Army and a dedicated patriot during the American Revolution. Raised in New York City, he was an early member of the Sons of Liberty and a close associate of Alexander Hamilton, whom he mentored and introduced to revolutionary ideals. Working as a successful tailor, Mulligan cultivated relationships with high-ranking British Officers, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence directly from the enemy. Despite the dangers of operating within British-occupied New York, he operated as a confidential correspondent for George Washington, supplying information that helped shape the war's outcome.

Mulligan is credited with saving Washington's life on two occasions by revealing plots to capture him. Even after being suspected of spying and briefly arrested, he continued his intelligence work with the help of his enslaved assistant, Cato. Following the war, Washington solidified Mulligan's reputation as a patriot by having breakfast with him shortly after the British evacuation of New York.

Isaac Sears was the public face of the Sons of Liberty in New York City, the second and perhaps most active chapter in the colonies. He was a prosperous merchant, like so many leaders of the underground rebel group. During the mid-1700s, he made fine income as a privateer, hunting the ships of imperial rivals for the British. Only when the Sugar Act brought an end to his trade in the West Indies did the sea captain turn against Britain. During the revolution he was a member of the Committee of Sixty and was involved in raids on British troops and in the destruction of Loyalist property throughout New York City.

Anna Smith Strong was the only recorded female member of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret network established to gather intelligence for General George Washington in British-occupied New York. Living in Setauket, Long Island, she utilized her position to pass messages while avoiding suspicion, partly because her relatives were Loyalists.

Strong's fame stems from the ingenious clothesline code which she used to signal Caleb Brewster, a courier who transported intelligence across the Long Island Sound. When a message was ready to be picked up, she would hang a black petticoat on her clothesline, clearly visible from across the bay. She would add a specific number of white handkerchiefs to indicate which of the six designated coves Brewster should use to meet his contact.
