"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]

-{{Era|RW}}
-[[File:Wet Work 1.png|thumb|250px|Ezio swimming in [[Romagna]]]]
-'''Swimming''' is a game mechanic introduced in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', allowing [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] to navigate through water, or to use it as a [[Hiding spots|hiding spot]].
-[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] is unable to swim in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. In the instruction manual of ''Assassin's Creed II'', [[Lucy Stillman]] attributes this to a bug in the [[Animus]].
-Ezio's swimming moves consists of {{Wiki|breaststroke}}s, but he uses the {{Wiki|front crawl}} for fast swimming. He is able to dive and hold his breath for several seconds. The mechanics went unchanged for the three subsequent console games, including for the ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' playable characters [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] and [[Haytham Kenway]]. [[Civilians]], [[guards]] and other nonplayable characters will instantly drown in water, while [[apprentices]] will disappear but not be killed.
-In the portable game ''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]'', swimming is expanded for missions where [[Aveline de Grandpré]] explores the flooded caverns beneath [[Chichen Itza]]. The camera follows her underwater, and she can hold her breath for under a minute.
-''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'''s main playable character is Haytham's father [[Edward Kenway]], a [[Piracy|pirate]] who can dive to the seabed to find treasure. His ship, the ''[[Jackdaw]]'', is equipped with a {{Wiki|diving bell}} allowing him to dive for extended periods of time by placing his head in it whenever he needs to take a breath. The game also introduces underwater combatants in sharks. The developers invented "freeswimming", where Edward can push himself from objects to boost his speed, or take advantage of a current while maneuvering himself to dodge obstacles.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf1vEfy5oNo ''The Escapist'' AC4: ''Black Flag'' underwater gameplay]</ref>

-The '''Kenway family''' were a [[United Kingdom|British]] family during the 18th century, whose members individually swore allegiance to the [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]].
-==History==
-The earliest known member of the Kenway family was the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]], born to an English father and Welsh mother. He married [[Caroline Scott]] and had a daughter named [[Jenny Kenway|Jenny]]. After joining the Assassins and ending his life in the [[Caribbean]], Edward remarried to [[Tessa Kenway|Tessa Stephenson-Oakley]], and they had a son named [[Haytham Kenway|Haytham]] in [[London]].
-In 1735, Edward was murdered by men secretly working for [[Reginald Birch]], who also kidnapped Jenny and sold her into [[slavery]]. Birch took in Haytham under his wing and trained him to become a Templar. In 1757, Haytham rescued Jenny from [[Damascus]] and learned the truth, and they killed Birch. Despite this, Haytham remained loyal to the Order.
-Two years beforehand, while searching for the [[Grand Temple]] in [[North America]], Haytham conceived a child with the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]] woman [[Kaniehtí:io]]. Their son [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] became the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial Assassin]] Connor, who eventually killed his father when it became clear their ideologies were irreconcilable.

-Connor eventually had children, whose bloodline continued to [[Desmond Miles]].

+{{Quote|Hey, did you ever think about that word? "Smuggler?" Rather funny, isn't it?|A smuggler working for [[Upton Travers]], 1715.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
-And that's it for now, until we learn about Connor's kids or if Haytham had a French child or something. :S
+'''Smuggling''' is the illegal transportation of goods.
-==Tactics==
-Edward, Haytham and Connor were masters of [[Fists|hand-to-hand combat]] and [[dual-wielding]], and trained in [[freerunning]] and [[swimming]]. They were also adept at being inconspicuous while [[blending]] and [[eavesdropping]], making more of an effort to socialize while doing the former. They all possessed [[Eagle Vision]].
-As he was trained by Templars rather than Assassins, Haytham lacked skills his father and his son shared, like the ability to balance on tree branches or [[hunting]] and fighting wild animals. He also never commanded his own ship.
-==British Assassins==
-{{Era|ACB|AC3}}
-The [[United Kingdom|British Brotherhood]] originated from the members of the [[Italian Assassins]] who came to [[London]] in 1503 to kill [[Margaret of York]]. They gained the trust of [[Henry VII of England|King Henry VII]] and earned a seat in the {{Wiki|Star Chamber}}.
-In 1754, the Assassin [[Miko]], who possessed a [[Grand Temple Key|key]] for the [[Grand Temple]], was murdered in the [[Theatre Royal]] by the Templar [[Haytham Kenway]]. Kenway promptly left for [[Boston]] on the ''[[Providence]]'', but was followed by [[Louis Mills]], who left a trail for the [[Colonial Assassins]] on the ''[[Aquila]]''. However, Kenway discovered Mills' allegiance and killed him, before sailing the ''Providence'' into a storm to shake off the ''Aquila''.
-And that's it until AC4, or if Ubisoft makes a Robin Hood game. :D

-{{Era|ACB|AC3|AC4}}
-'''Taverns''' or '''inns''' are buildings where people can meet, drink, eat, gamble, and which sometimes provide lodging for travellers and their [[horses]]. Innkeepers were expected to be knowledgable about the community they served, and to be an important source of news.
-The [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]] could recruit crewmembers for the ''[[Jackdaw]]'' from taverns. His grandson [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] was a teetotaler but frequented taverns to [[Interactive conversations|chat]] with his friends and [[apprentices]].

-“He has such a mixed heritage and upbringing and exposure to so many different ideas, so he’s quite unique in the world,” May said. “It makes him more thoughtful. He’s more considerate of different perspectives. He spends a lot more time observing and thinking than he does making snap judgments and proclamations.”
-Unlike previous Assassin Altaïr, who was motivated by his desire to restore his honor, and Ezio, who was motivated by revenge, Connor is motivated by a desire to “just do good in the world,” May said.
-“He sees a lot of wrong in the world … and he finds that there’s no one else out there willing to do anything about it,” May said. “It definitely makes him a bit of an idealist and in some sense, it makes him a little bit naive, that he thinks that one person can make a difference, but he clings to that belief and remains very firm in his convictions, so I think it makes him endearing in a way that previous assassins haven’t been.”<ref>[http://herocomplex.latimes.com/games/assassins-creed-3-writer-corey-may/ ''Los Angeles Times'': ‘Assassin’s Creed 3′ writer Corey May adds revolutionary details]</ref>
