Calais is a port city in northern France.
History[edit | edit source]
On 7 February 1788, the French Templar Élise de la Serre arrived at Calais' port and entered a nearby tavern. Pretending to be strong, she asked for a captain to sail her to London, only to meet a man called the "Middle Man." Their conversation soon turned sour as she and the man's guards drew their blades. Élise was captured and found herself in the company of another captive, a young girl named Hélène. Fortunately, the English smuggler Byron Jackson found both Élise and Hélène and killed their captors.[1]
Leaving the scene of the crime, Jackson offered the two girls a ride aboard his ship, the Granny Smith, as he worked to smuggle expensive goods along the eastern coast of England. After leaving the port, Hélène revealed that she had come to Calais to find a new life with her uncle, but he sold her to the Middle Man as his personal slave.[1]
On 10 April 1788, Élise returned to Calais after her time in England and met with Madame Levene, who helped her treat her mentor, the British Templar Frederick Weatherall, who had suffered a gunshot wound while in London. However, the injury proved too severe and Weatherall's leg had to be amputated. While Weatherall recovered over the following month, Élise wrote to Jennifer Scott to apologize, to truly introduce herself, and to ultimately agree with both her and her late brother Haytham Kenway's words to end the war between the Assassins and Templars.[1]
