Master Sun's floating gambling hall was a gambling ship owned and operated by Sun, the head of the Hualien Trading Company in Macau, in the early 18th century.
History[edit | edit source]
The gambling den served as Sun's primary headquarters and source of revenue. As such, it never remained in one place for long, in order to make it more difficult for Sun's enemies to reach him.[1]
In 1725, Sun formed an alliance with the Templar Shimazu Saito, granting protection to her and her subordinates in exchange for a sea log that Saito had acquired which contained encrypted information on the location of the lost Khmer city of Angkor. Seeking the city's treasure in order to deliver it to the Qing Emperor for a reward, Sun reached out to his nephew Xiao Han, the Chinese Assassins' Mentor who was familiar with the language used to encrypt the log.[2] Sun asked Xiao Han to meet aboard his gambling ship and, while awaiting his arrival, had Saito and her men serve as the vessel's guards.[3]
Shortly before Xiao Han's arrival, the British Assassin Edward Kenway infiltrated the gambling den to recover the sea log but was discovered by Saito.[3] After fighting the Templar and saving her from drowning,[4] Edward struck an alliance with her and the two attempted to retrieve the sea log together.[2] However, they were forced to fight Fuma Sukuna and his ninja, who had also infiltrated the gambling den to recover the sea log and assassinate Sun on the orders of his rival, Lee Huiyin.[5]
Edward's friend John Young, who was also aboard the ship and serving as the Assassin's decoy, witnessed the massacre left by Sukuna's ninja in their wake as they attempted to locate Sun and the sea log. After the ninja began indiscriminately killing the ship's staff, John told the waitress Xialun Qing, with whom he had been spending most of the night, to hide and went to assist Edward.[2] When the staff began evacuating the ship, Qing accidentally fell into the water but was saved by John, who had stolen a gunboat.[6]
Once Xiao Han and his fellow Assassins Liu Qing and Xue Yan arrived and met with Sun, they quickly learned of his plans with Angkor's treasure. Seeking to use the artifact to overthrow the Qing dynasty, the Chinese Assassins then attempted to kill Sun and retrieve the sea log from him,[2] leading them to cross paths with Edward and Saito.[5] The former dueled Xiao Han until they both realized the other was an Assassin. Upon learning of Xiao Han's plans with Angkor's treasure, however, Edward opposed him due to disagreeing with the use of Isu artifacts for personal gain.[7]
In the subsequent battle for the sea log, all of Saito's men were killed by Sukuna's ninja[8] and Sun was assassinated by Xiao Han, who claimed the log for the Chinese Assassins. Just then, the ship was bombarded with cannon fire by Zheng, an admiral hired by Lee to wipe out Sun's fleet.[9] Edward and Saito escaped by boarding John's gunboat and, though Zheng attempted to kill them, the admiral was forced back by the Fenghuang, the flagship of Edward's Zhang Wei Union.[6]
The destruction of the gambling den and Sun's death was a major blow for the Hualien Trading Company and allowed Lee to take over as the dominant merchant in Macau.[10]
Known staff[edit | edit source]
- Sun (owner)
- Shimazu Saito (head of security; 1725)
- Xialun Qing (waitress)
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Although Macau has become a major gambling center since the Portuguese government legalized gambling in the 19th century,[11] there are no recorded gambling ships operating in Macau or anywhere else in the world before that time period. As such, the gambling den's appearance in Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple may be anachronistic.
