Connor regularly explored the Frontier, hunting animals that had become infamous, such as a cougar that threatened children from his village in the neighboring valley. He befriended the explorer [[Daniel Boone]], who told him of mysterious and supernatural creatures and events he had witnessed, which Connor would often investigate and discover a logical explanation. He also joined the Boston Brawlers club, eventually winning a tournament, and was also invited to join a Thief's Club after they noticed his pickpocketing skills. Connor also explored the underground tunnels used by the [[Freemasons]] in the cities he visited, learning some of their secrets.

*'''Boone:''' ''There we was, eight months in the Kentucky frontier trappin' and skinnin' elk - well along my third bale - when they came upon us. No less than a dozen Shawnee hunters had us surrounded at the point of musket and arrow. My bush partner froze up stiff. The fear chilled me the same but I managed to muster what little Shawnee I was knowin'. The leader spoke too quick but I gathered we was poachin', havin' crossed into their territory a month or so hence. Their musket barrels stared us down - the heads of their arrows smilin' sharp at our backs. I bumbled a proposition in busted Shawnee: our full piece - my three bales and my partner's two less a half - in exchange for us quittin' the Shawnee bush on our own legs. Leader nods to his boys. They load up our take and start back into the trees. The honcho stays a spell longer just starin'. Starin' right through us with his two black eyes. And then he was gone. We picked up and set back east the way we came - months of profit lost but our own hides intact. Never saw the Shawnee again but I know they was followin' us. I could feel their eyes on our backs clear to North Carolina...

'''Finding the Sasquatch''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].
By 1524, the Chinese Assassins had been wiped out by the Emperor [[Jiajing]]. After seeking the aid of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], the former Mentor of the Italian Assassins, [[Shao Jun]] journey back to her country to rebuild the Order. By the 21st century, the Assassins had a cell located in [[Osaka]], [[Japan]].


==Description==
==Religion==
[[Daniel Boone]] told Connor of a mysterious beast stealing supplies, prompting him to investigate.
{{Era|AC|ACBL|AC2|AC2D|ACB|ACR|AC3}}
'''Religion''' is something the leaders of the [[Templars]] and [[Assassins]] do not practice due to their knowledge of the [[First Civilization]]. The former often moved into religious positions of power to control people, while the latter protected the rights of people to believe what they wanted.


==Dialogue==
The [[Aztecs]]' worship of {{Wiki|Tezcatlipoca}} involved human sacrifices, greatly disgusting the [[Spanish Army|troops]] under [[Hernán Cortés]].
*'''Boone:''' ''It stands upright, as a man, but its whole body is covered in a thick pelt. Its gait is slow and lurching - I've seen it with my own two eyes. It's clever, always at a distance or with something between us - like it knows where I'm gonna be before I get there. Things go missing where it goes, that much is certain. All manner of trinket. It took a man's prize antlers clear off his cabin wall. Takes kills outta traps too, wrenching 'em open with his big mitts. Somebody should find it and bring back its head for the world to see.''


Connor found the sasquatch's hideout in a cave behind a waterfall, and discovered the beast was just a man.
The [[Hermeticists]] believed man, the gods and the world were all equal, and were driven underground as their beliefs undermined the Church.


*'''Man:''' ''Hallo. You're the chap that was down the hill, yes? Welcome! Care for a leg of venison? Maybe a hen? I have some lovely wine, if you like. A Bordeaux!''
The [[Freemasons]] were a Brotherhood founded after the Renaissance which allowed any man, regardless of what god he believed in, to join.
*'''Connor:''' ''No thank you. Who are you and what is this place?''
*'''Man:''' ''I'm just a man and this is my home! Doesn't look like much from the outside but that's sort of the point. Not much of a people person.''
*'''Connor:''' ''The locals think you are a demon of some sort.''
*'''Man:''' ''Is that what they're saying now? Probably frustrated on account of my naughty little habit. I take things. I know it's wrong, I do, but I just can't help myself. Thing is, I like my privacy. If I gave you some coin, might you keep my home a secret? I'd be much obliged.''


==Outcome==
During the [[French Revolution]], the revolutionary government tried to replace Christianity with the worship of the Supreme Being, an anthromorphisation of reason. [http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-GB/news/news_detail.aspx?c=tcm:154-177119-16&ct=tcm:148-76770-32]

[[Daniel Boone]] told Connor about ghosts in the [[Boston Light]], prompting him to investigate.
 
==Dialogue==
*'''Boone:''' ''I'd been out in the puckerbrush for six weeks. Game was scarce in the area and my belly needed fillin' so a broke for the coast and some crab or lobster from the tide pools. That's when I saw it. A lighthouse said to have been abandoned years ago, but there it was fires a burnin'. Then the sound happened. A moaning in the wind. My heart crept up my throat so high I could taste it. Just then a ten point buck started and I took after it. Got the buck but never went back to the lighthouse. Spirits in there I wager, and I'd challenge any man to set foot inside.''
 
Connor sought to find the ghost near the Lighthouse. He approached it and eavesdropped on two men.
 
*'''Local:''' ''Crying in the wind. I've heard it. My wife heard it, it's there, no mistaking it. Spirits.''
 
Connor climbed to the top of the lighthouse and found the Fake Ghost, a cloth placed on a log.

==Description==
[[Daniel Boone]] told Connor about the Headless Horseman.
 
==Dialogue==
*'''Boone:''' ''I've never seen him myself but I've heard the stories from here to Kentucky. A German mercenary - [[Jägers|Hessians]] is what they call 'em - was fighting a battle when a cannonball took his head clean off. His whole battalion was routed and they lost the encounter. But the lad didn't die. He's been wandering the bush on horseback around the battlefield ever since, searching for his head, chasin' innocents when he sees 'em, taking their domes for his own. He wears a pumpkin for a head now, until he finds what he's looking for. Like I said, I haven't seen 'em, but I have seen the bodies he leaves lying about, headless and grotesque. God rest their souls.''
 
Connor looked for clues leading to the Headless Horseman. He found a victim's corpse, and spotted the Headless Horseman laughing as he rode away.

==Description==
Connor met [[Daniel Boone]] in a tavern.
 
==Dialogue==
*'''Boone:''' ''I'm not one for sailing but I know it's out there. Some call it a kraken, others just a sea monster. They say it's fifty feet long if it's an inch and it rolls ships for sport. You won't find me out on the high seas searching for the beast, that's a guarantee I can give you, but it's a riddle that needs solving.''
 
Connor began eavesdropping on conversations around town.

*'''Civilian 2:''' ''You bet your arse I've seen the serpent. Thing was horrifying.''
*'''Civilian 1:''' ''Where was it?''

*'''Civilian 4:''' ''Pfff. Some old man ordering a kraken about. What a bunch o' fluff.''
*'''Civilian 3:''' ''Dunno, mate. A lot o' men I trust spin the same yarn.''
 
*'''Civilian 5:''' ''You hear the serpent weaver died?''
*'''Civilian 6:''' ''The ol' thief's buried not far from here. Man was a blight. Good riddance.''
 
*'''Civilian 7:''' ''That old fellow people said called the kraken bought the farm not long ago. Nobody's seen the beast since.''
*'''Civilian 8:''' ''So it was true then!''
*'''Civilian 7:''' ''Didn't say that. Maybe you could ask his widow, she won't leave his grave.''
 
Connor approached the man's widow at his grave.
*'''Widow:''' ''You come to pay your respects? You're the first. He didn't have many friends. People just didn't understand. He was a good trader. He was a good husband. I never wanted for anything.''
 
Connor investigated the trader's workshop, and found his "Sea Monster" contraption.

Couldn't tell you what it was but I can tell you it wasn't of this earth.''
Connor went to investigate the source of the U.F.O. He found an umbrella stuck on a tree, concluding it had been "reflecting moonlight among in the trees".

Other things to do[edit | edit source]


"Hey, did you ever think about that word? "Smuggler?" Rather funny, isn't it?"
―A smuggler working for Upton Travers, 1715.[src]

Smuggling is the illegal transportation of goods.

Far East[edit | edit source]

For the inevitable Shao Jun or Japanese ACs.


The Far East referred to the countries located in east Asia.

The Chinese and Mongolian branches of the Assassins were active in the region, removing tyrants like Qin Shi Huang and Genghis Khan. Despite Genghis' assassination at the hands of Qulan Gal, and the aid of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, they were unable to stop the spread of the Mongol Empire and the conquering of China.

The Italian Assassins, including Marco Polo, travelled through the Far East and to the court of Kublai Khan, where they recovered Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex.

By 1524, the Chinese Assassins had been wiped out by the Emperor Jiajing. After seeking the aid of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the former Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Shao Jun journey back to her country to rebuild the Order. By the 21st century, the Assassins had a cell located in Osaka, Japan.

Religion[edit | edit source]

Religion is something the leaders of the Templars and Assassins do not practice due to their knowledge of the First Civilization. The former often moved into religious positions of power to control people, while the latter protected the rights of people to believe what they wanted.

The Aztecs' worship of Tezcatlipoca involved human sacrifices, greatly disgusting the troops under Hernán Cortés.

The Hermeticists believed man, the gods and the world were all equal, and were driven underground as their beliefs undermined the Church.

The Freemasons were a Brotherhood founded after the Renaissance which allowed any man, regardless of what god he believed in, to join.

During the French Revolution, the revolutionary government tried to replace Christianity with the worship of the Supreme Being, an anthromorphisation of reason. [1]
