A Man They Call the Sage was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst in 2013 at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus Omega.[1]
Description[edit | edit source]
Edward met with the Templars at the docks to meet the Sage and escort him to the governor's mansion.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Edward met with the Templars near the docks.
- Woodes: Good morning, Duncan. Just over here...
- Stede: Edward! Hello, Edward! I found a man to purchase my remaining sugar! Quite a coup, I must say!
- Woodes: He just called you Edward.
- Edward: Oh, that's the merchant who sailed me here. Out of caution, I gave him a false name.
- Woodes: Ah... well done.
- Edward: We'll catch up, Bonnet! Later.
He followed the Templars under a small pavilion, where a man sat cuffed in a chair and under guard.
- Laureano: Very punctual, Duncan. This way. Here he is, a man both Templars and Assassins have sought for over a decade. I am told your surname is Roberts. Is this so? You recognize this, I think.
He produced the blood vial and drew some of Roberts' blood into it.
- Julien: According to the old tales, the blood of a sage is required to enter the Observatory.
- Laureano: We have the key. Now we need only its location. Perhaps mister Roberts will be eager to provide it. Transfer him to my residence.
The group headed towards Torres' residence, with Roberts still under guard.
- Edward: Such a fuss over one man. Is the Observatory really such a grand prize?
- Laureano: Sí, sin duda. (Yes, indeed.) The Observatory was a tool built by the Precursor race. Its worth is without measure.
- Edward: Precursor race... I see.
- Laureano: One of your early letters mentioned the desire to kill the Mayan Mentor, Ah Tabai. Were you able to carry out this contract before coming here?
- Edward: I... I was not, no. Too many... complications along the way.
- Laureano: A pity. But the maps you delivered with the blood vial will see that job finished.
- Edward: Aye. That's the idea.
- Woodes: I don't like this route, Torres. We're exposed.
- Julien: Something is wrong. Stay close, Grand Master!
- Lareano: I feel it too. Do not let them get their hands on the Sage! At whatever cost!
During the journey to the mansion, the group was attacked by Assassins.
- Woodes: Assassins! Above! They're on the rooftops!
Crossing me is fatal, cur!
Don't expect mercy.
I've survived much worse than you!
To action then.
It ends now!
You're consigned to oblivion. - Julien: Watch the streets and alleys. They could be anywhere!
- Torres: Protect the Sage!
Edward and the others fought off the attack, but they were caught by surprise when more Assassins ambushed their group. One landed to Rogers' left and used a blowpipe to fire a poison dart at him just when a dart hit the right side of his neck. Another leaped down to air-assassinate one of Roberts' two escorting soldiers with his right Hidden Blade. His comrade immediately drew his sword to impale the Assassin, but they swept their right arm within the sword's guard to knock it aside and used their left Hidden Blade to stab the soldier's neck, killing him.
A third Assassin leaped down and fired a dart at Edward, slowing him down long enough for them to break Roberts' cuffs with their Hidden Blades; behind them, El Tiburón charged an Assassin and chopped at their back with his battleaxe, but his target dodged and a scuffle ensued. Distracted by the fight, the Assassin freeing Roberts left his wrists near the man's face, allowing him to redirect the still-activated Blades into the Assassin's neck. Beaten back a few paces, El Tiburón saw his Assassin target attempt to flee and lunged forward to draw his axe along their back, then threw it at the one still beside Rogers, lodging the blade in their chest. Amidst the chaos, Roberts took the chance to escape.
- Guard: Ah!
- Laureano: Stop him!
Edward gave chase after Roberts.
- Edward: You're a nimble one, I'll give you that.
Hang back and make this easy on both of us mate!
Stop or I'll kneecap you!
He managed to capture the Sage and escorted him back at gunpoint.
- Roberts: Well done, lap dog.
- Edward: Quiet!
- Julien: We'll see him to the prisons, Grand Master.
- Laureano: Double the watch.
- Woodes: Well, I'll be buggered. What an active day we've had, gents!
- Laureano: Sí. (Yes.) Beset on all sides by our enemies. We must be more cautious.
- Woodes: I do wish I could remain to see our drama done, but I must avail myself of these winds and sail for England.
- Laureano: By all means, Captain. Speed and fortune to you.
- Woodes: With luck, I'll return myself a governor. And with my idiot King's blessing, no less. ¡Adios! (Goodbye!)
- Laureano: As for you, Mr. Walpole... I consider this the first payment in a long-term investment. Gracias. (Thank you.)
- Edward: Obliged.
- Torres: I would like you to be present for the interrogation tomorrow. Call around noon.
- Edward: Yes, sir.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Edward managed to recapture the Sage for the Templars, and received the payment for the delivered maps and blood vial.
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
In the novelization, the Assassin attack on the Templars in order to rescue Roberts is omitted, and the Templars' initiation scene leads directly into Rogers' departure for England. Despite this, Ah Tabai still berates Edward for murdering his students in the novel.
Some Assassins can be seen assassinating guards from hiding spots, and Edward could shoot the unarmed Assassins during his walk with the Templars.
The music that plays while escorting Roberts and the Templars is borrowed from Assassin's Creed III, making it the only major piece of music in the game not newly-composed from the soundtrack.
