Animus Console

Since the disappearance of her mother, Aveline has been raised by Madeleine de L’Isle. With the realization that they shared similar views on slavery, the bond between the two women grows stronger.

Two years have passed since Aveline disposed of Governor d’Abbadie. During that time she found no trace of the man called de Ferrer, yet his plans continue to threaten New Orleans’ population.

The revelation that Agaté knew her mother Jeanne – a fact he chose to keep from her – strained the relationship between mentor and mentee. With de Ferrer back in New Orleans, Aveline redoubles her efforts to protect its citizens.

After taking care of her father’s business troubles, Aveline sets out to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearances of slaves and vagrants.

Confident that Governor Ulloa is behind the disappearances in New Orleans, Aveline puts her plan in motion to lure him out of La Balise, which he seldom leaves.

Firm in her belief and confident that she can put an end to the machinations of her enemies, Aveline disobeys Agaté and boards a slave ship bound to an unknown location. This decision further strains their relationship.

Deciphering clues left behind by her long lost mother lead Aveline to a cenote’s entrance where her treasure hunt begins.

With de Ferrer dead and the slave colony free, Aveline travels back to New Orleans. Upon her return, she finds a world very different than the one she had left. Yet, the identity of the Company Man remains a mystery.

After discovering a plot to force her mentor out of hiding, Aveline journeys to the bayou, determined to win back Agaté’s trust and refusing to give up on the Brotherhood.

The documents found aboard the Spanish ship contained orders to travel to Chichen Itza and reclaim the worksite. Fearing for her mother’s safety – and perhaps hoping to find the second half of the Prophecy Disk – Aveline returns to Chichen Itza.

Having secured the second part of the Prophecy Disk, Aveline travels back to New Orleans to continue her search for Vázquez, the man she believes is the Company Man.

Despite her father’s ill health, Aveline continues her search for the man called Vázquez.

Aveline paid a heavy price for killing Vázquez, whom she learned was not the elusive Company Man. Unable to be with her father in his dying hours, she begins to doubt her course of action. Her loyalty to the Brotherhood falters.

George Davidson gave just enough clues as to the identity of the Company Man. It is with a heavy heart that Aveline returns home.

Following a confrontation with the Company Man, Madeleine de L’Isle – her beloved stepmother – Aveline finds herself confused and alone. She journeys to the bayou to seek Agaté’s counsel, and test her own faith in the Brotherhood.

Agaté’s failure as an Assassin and his lack of trust in Aveline leaves her completely adrift. She returns to Madeleine, ready to embrace her stepmother’s cause.

…in which our Hero, the notorious Pirate, Edward Kenway, acquired for himself a Disguise and a Purpose: the Deliverance of a Letter, Maps, and a strange Crystal Cube to the Governor of Havana, in exchange for a perceived Reward;-- here too was a Merchant named Stede Bonnet befriend'd;-- pair'd up, the Two set sail for the Spanish Capital, Havana.

Sequence 02 - The Spanish Main

…in which Edward Kenway dallied for a Time in Havana under the false Name, Duncan Walpole, whereupon he came into Contact with men calling themselves "Templars" named Laureano Torres, Woodes Rogers, and Julien du Casse;– it was from these men that Edward attempted to collect his monetary reward, and here too that he inadvertently joined the Templar Order, attacked and killed a sort called "Assassins", and met a strange man referr'd to as the Sage;– a mysterious Location called The Observatory was talked about with Reverence by all;– shortly thereafter, the Sage escaped the Templars' prison just as Edward's Deceptions were discovered;– he was then imprisoned and set aboard a departing Spanish Treasure Fleet for delivery to British Templars in London;– yet, using his Wits and Cunning, and accepting the Aid of a Trinidadian called Adewale, Edward escaped his bonds, acquired a Spanish Brigantine, and sailed away at the head of a Hurricane to Safety.

Sequence 03 - The Republic Of Pirates

…in which Edward Kenway, newly named Captain aboard his newly christened Jackdaw, set sail for Nassau, Pirate Republic;– whereupon he reunited with old friends, Ed Thatch, Benjamin Hornigold, and James Kidd;– and there under the Tutelage of his Betters, learn'd the proper Methods of Captaining, Seafaring, and Pirating;– and did ultimately cross Paths with the Templar, Julien du Casse, whom he killed out of Caution, wishing not to raise the Templar's Attentions against him, as he continued his own private Search for the mysterious Observatory, and the only man who knew its Location – the Sage.

Sequence 04 - Retribution

…in which we saw the Maxim "As ye reap, so shall ye sow" play out in full;– for it was here that Edward Kenway learn'd the Consequences of his Actions in Havana;– and here he discover'd the Allegiance of his Friend, James Kidd, to the Assassins;– and here he learn'd that the Maps he sold to the Templars in Havana named Assassin Encampments throughout the West Indies;– and here he found the Assassins were none too pleased with this Betrayal;– and in Consequence of these Actions, Edward was compell'd by Kidd's Mentor, Ah Tabai, to explore the Depths of a Mayan Temple, whereupon he spy'd a Statue of the so-called Sage, further deepening the Mystery of this Man;– after which Edward helped the Assassins defend their Camp against a Templar-funded attack perpetrated by the Slaver Laurens Prins;– whereupon the Assassins thank'd Edward, yet barr'd him from their Order.

Sequence 05 - Mistaken Motives

…in which the notorious Pirates Charles Vane and "Calico" Jack Rackham appear'd in Nassau, bringing word of a large Shipment of Gold to a nearby Spanish Fort;-- within which, the Templar Laureano Torres was busy counting and gathering Money to offer as a reward to the Slaver Laurens Prins for his delivery of the Sage to the Templars;-- a scheme our Hero Edward Kenway discovered and adopted as his own;-- thus taking this Templar as a prisoner, Edward set about liberating the Sage for himself, using Torres and his Gold as bait;-- yet complications arose when the Assassin James Kidd arrived to murder both Prins and Torres, confounding Edward's own plans;-- After heated discussion, Edward agreed to help Kidd kill Prins in exchange for finding the Sage, somewhere upon the Slaver's property;-- it was here too that James revealed himself to be a woman, Mary Read;-- and in consequence of their confounded scheme, Laurens Prins was killed, but the Sage escaped yet again, much to Edward's Dismay.

Sequence 06 - Shifting Sands

…in which the Announcement of King George's Pardon to all Pirates touched the Ears of those in the distraught Pirate Republic, causing great Dissention among the Ranks of Rogues and Buccaneers there;-- whereupon our Hero devised the idea to acquire Medicines for the people of Nassau to strengthen their Health and Resolve should the British launch an Assault;-- whereupon Edward Kenway and Ed Thatch -- calling himself Black-Beard -- searched the seas high and low for such Elixirs, bringing them at the last to the shores of Charles-Towne in the Carolinas, whereupon they took Hostages, assaulted the City, and acquired the Medicines they sought;-- yet here it was too that Black-Beard did announce his wish to Retire from a Life of Roguery and Theft;-- thus, leaving Edward in a State of much Glumness.

Sequence 07 - The British Invasion

…in which the Templar and now Governor Woodes Rogers arrived in Nassau with the Commodore Peter Chamberlaine with the aim of scrubbing the city of its piratical Influence;– and in response, it was thence that Benjamin Hornigold did take the Pardon graciously and fell under the sway of the Charismatic Rogers;– and by Contrast, here did Edward Kenway, Charles Vane, and "Calico" Jack Rackham resolve to take Flight, leaving Denizens like the Irish Anne Bonny to live once more under the British Yoke;– and it was here that the Commodore Chamberlaine – no friend of the Templar Rogers – did concoct an order to sink all Pirate Ships in Nassau's Harbour, yet was prevented by our Hero's Blade from issuing such Order;– whereupon the remaining Pirates did ignite a Fireship which, when sent at the British Blockade, exploded with so great a fury as to allow our hero an Escape.

Sequence 08 - No Regrets

…in which Edward Kenway was reproved by Mary Read for remaining ever fix'd to the Piratical way of Life;-- and as such, sailed north to recruit Blackbeard back into his cause;-- and failing such, thereby resolved to drink with him instead, until a sudden attack surprised their Lot, resulting in the untimely death of Ed Thatch;-- whereupon our Hero rejoined with Captain Vane and Mr. Rackham to pursue his original quest for the Observatory;-- yet suffered a setback when a disgruntled Mr. Rackham raised a Mutiny against them both;-- and so set adrift on a damaged ship, our Hero found himself Marooned with Captain Vane, whose Sanity appeared in danger of slipping;-- whereupon Vane attacked Edward Kenway, forcing our Hero to retaliate in Kind, thus subduing his old friend and leaving him for Dead;-- after which time, Edward Kenway located a small fishing Schooner and slipp'd from the Island.

Sequence 09 - Muddied Waters

…in which Mary Read further reproved our Hero for seeking the Observatory for reasons Selfish in Nature;-- whereupon Edward sailed for Kingston in pursuit of a Rumor that the Sage might be docked there;-- and whereupon he discovered that the Templars Torres, Rogers and Hornigold had learned of the Sage's departure from Kingston to the African Island of Principe;-- after which Edward made a hasty departure East -- offending much of his crew, who preferr'd simple piracies to Treasure hunts;-- and arriving thus, landed upon Principe to make the acquaintance of the Sage, a man now turned Pirate and calling himself Captain Bartholomew Roberts;-- whereupon Edward Kenway kill'd two Templars sent to capture the Sage -- the men Burgess and Cockram -- thus earning Robert's full trust.

Sequence 10 - Dead Reckoning

…in which the mysterious Bartholomew Roberts requested of Edward Kenway a favor, in exchange for a glimpse of the Observatory, to which our Hero agreed;– at which time this Pair of Captains did raid and loot a chest of Blood-filled Crystal Vials from a Portuguese Templar's ship, much to Roberts' satisfaction;– whereupon Roberts was pleased and agreed to show our Hero the Prize he had so long sought, yet only after Edward agreed to dispatch the pirate hunter Ben Hornigold, then tailing them;– And past doing the sad deed, Edward did get his Glimpse at the Observatory – a strange Device capable of seeing through another Man's Eyes;– after which, Bartholomew Robert's betrayed and imprisoned Edward Kenway, and threatening to deliver our Hero unto British hands for safe keeping, as Adewale and the rest of the Jackdaw's crew sailed off in Solidarity and Safety.

Sequence 12 - The Eagle And The Jackdaw

…in which our Hero took on Anne Bonny as Quartermaster, then began his provisional Training with the Assassins, agreeing to eliminate the three targets presenting the most immediate threat to the safety of the World -- Woodes Rogers, Laureano Torres, and Bartholomew Roberts;-- whereupon Edward first sought Rogers in Kingston and struck, wounding but likely not killing the man;-- whereupon he then sailed to Africa in pursuit of Bart Roberts, and thus finding him, delivered the killing blow and recovered from him a crucial piece of the Observatory;-- and from thence, he sailed to Havana in pursuit of Torres, using the Observatory Skull to locate him, yet finding only El Tiburón, the Templar's bodyguard;-- and so killing him, Edward sailed further to the Observatory, and there finding a disappointed Torres, killed him, replaced the Observatory's device, and vowed never to use it for ill;-- whereupon he received an old letter from Bristol bearing unsettling news.

Sequence 1

Shay Patrick Cormac, a young man of ill manners but moral intentions, finds himself a member of those infamous renegades, the Assassin Brotherhood. This branch of the Brotherhood operates in the colonial territories of northeastern North America, as well as in the waters of the Atlantic. Young Assassin Shay helps some allied seamen and gains a shabby vessel of his own, the Morrigan. Back at the Assassin homestead, he receives some training from his compatriots, of which he was in dire need. Shay then learns from the heroic Adéwalé that a terrible earthquake has struck Haiti, with thousands of souls lost. What is more, during the disaster the Templars absconded with two crucial artifacts, a box and a manuscript. The Mentor Achilles tasks Shay and his brothers with retrieving these valuables, which he believes can bring the Assassins to dominance. Following a tip from a French spy, Shay takes the life of one Lawrence Washington in the search for these peculiar items. Little does he know that his quest has barely begun…

Sequence 2

Months pass and what began as mere enmity between the British and French ignites into war. Meanwhile, the Assassin Shay hones his technique while cutting a swathe through the ubiquitous Templar Order. He murders Samuel Smith to get the Precursor box, and James Wardrop for the ancient manuscript. Along the way he improves his Morrigan and outfits her with fine weapons indeed. He also meets Benjamin Franklin, an inventor and political thinker of no little repute. With this man’s help, Shay combines the box and manuscript to discover a Precursor site of great power. But alas! When Shay finds the site, he triggers a calamity that destroys the city of Lisbon itself. With tens of thousands of souls on his conscience, Shay confronts his Assassin allies, only to be persecuted by the same. Left with no choice, he seizes both his fate and the manuscript and jumps to his doom.

Sequence 3

In New York, Shay awakens in the home of a kindly and venerable couple, the Finnegans. He soon finds that their existence is far from peaceful, however, as they and their neighbors are terrorized by roving gangs of ill-doers. But ha! They are no match for Shay and his uncommon skills. These same skills bring Shay to the attention of a certain Colonel James Monro, who shares his perspectives on civic duty with the young man. In more prosaic terms, he also asks Shay to rescue his Falstaffian friend, Christopher Gist. Shay regains his ship and takes Gist as his quartermaster. But he soon encounters his old ally Franklin, albeit under unfortunate circumstances: Franklin has been unwittingly helping criminals create dangerous poisons and weapons. Shay discourages Franklin and sets out to destroy the ruffians’ armament. Having done so, fate reserves a surprise for Shay: the Templars congratulate him on his heroic deeds! And Monro and Gist among them! With his life and soul in danger, Shay says nothing that might reveal his past.

Sequence 4

The war rages on and Shay's Templar friend Colonel Monro finds himself outmanned and outmatched at Fort William Henry. But Shay comes to his rescue, escorting Monro and his men from the place. This respite is but temporary, though, as the Assassins recognize their prodigal son. They take up arms against him and any who would aid him. What is worse, the manuscript resurfaces, along with the possibility of a hecatomb. Shay stops one Assassin, but another – his dear friend Liam – steps up to slay the Colonel. Shay promises he will have revenge against his brother. Inspired by the fallen officer, he takes the oath of the Templar.

Sequence 5

Having attracted the attention of the Templar Grand Master, Haytham Kenway, Shay plunges himself into martial matters. To this end he befriends an English navigator, James Cook. With Cook’s help, Shay leads the Templars and the Royal Navy against French reinforcements for Louisbourg. They are successful – the Gallic fleet sinks in a raging inferno! That matter settled, Shay turns landward for an even greater prize: the life of the Assassin hero Adéwalé. Knowing this victory will shake the Assassins to their very core, he extinguishes Adéwalé, though not without regret.

Sequence 6

Back in New York, the battle-hardened Shay searches for the source of both the criminal activity and its toxic weaponry. To great disappointment but little surprise, he learns that a particular woman from his former Assassin life, Hope, is in charge of both. He engages in a mission to turn the army against her minions, then must face off against Hope herself. She is merciless, poisoning him and leaving him for dead. But Shay fights off the viper’s venom and returns to the lady with a sting of his own! But, the dire deed done, our hero’s face is overcast with grief. Was this Hope perchance his Dulcinea? Alas, we may never know.

Epilogue

Shay and Haytham sail on in search of the artefacts. The Assassins are a step ahead of them, but not for long. Shay tracks down a former tormentor and discovers the Assassins’ destination: an Arctic island that conceals a Precursor secret. Shay’s former Mentor Achilles is there, along with Liam, the man who slew Monro. Shay and Liam had been best friends once, and shipmates… But no more. Their skirmish disturbs the very site Shay was trying to protect and lo! Another earthquake begins. With the temple collapsing around them, Shay and his former boon companion engage in a fight to the death. When Shay emerges, he spies the Grand Master and Mentor locked in similar combat. Shay prevails upon Haytham to show mercy, and he does – more or less. The danger resolved and the manuscript retrieved, Shay can sail on to his next destination with the Order.

Helix navigator

Sequence 1

The Brotherhood is struggling. Having waged war with the Templars in various colonies, little is to be done. The leaders are afraid to travel into the heart of darkness, into London, to face Grandmaster Starrick. Instead, they lurk around the edges. Enter Jacob and Evie Frye, as they prepare to take down two targets outside Croydon, a suburb of London.

Sequence 2

Jacob invaded Ferris Ironworks, taking note of the squalid conditions. Improvising the mission, he successfully assassinated Rupert Ferris, who taunted him as he died for not having the bravery to visit London. Jacob escaped on a train that derailed, but jumped off to safety.

Sequence 3

With their targets out of the way, brother and sister met to regroup. Jacob’s target planted a seed: the desire to take on Starrick’s London network and destroy it. Evie’s target revealed a cryptic tale of a Piece of Eden. Both Fryes snuck onto a train bound for London, Evie after the Piece of Eden and a liberated London, Jacob after Templars and glory.

Sequence 4

Once in London, the Fryes began to disagree. Jacob started a gang called the Rooks, seizing the train of a gang boss named Kaylock to use as a hideout. He mocked Evie’s quest for the Piece of Eden, while Evie dismissed his campaign to take on the Templars as reckless and sloppy.

Sequence 5

Templars were supplying Starrick's Soothing Syrup to the poor to keep them docile. Jacob partnered with Charles Darwin to find and take out the source: Dr. Elliotson. Meanwhile, working with Henry Green, Evie followed clues to find the Piece of Eden - in a race against Templar Lucy Thorne.

Sequence 6

Jacob searched for Starrick’s Templar specialist in transportation and worked with rival Pearl Attaway to take him out. But he was misled: Attaway was Starrick’s cousin, and Jacob's true target. Evie's search for the Shroud of Eden led to a hidden vault and mysterious key which was stolen by Lucy Thorne.

Sequence 7

Jacob discovered that Starrick's banker, Philip Twopenny, was planning to use his position as Governor to rob the Bank of England. Jacob infiltrated the vault and assassinated Twopenny. Evie headed to the Tower of London, hoping to find the Shroud. After a final confrontation with Lucy Thorne and recovered the key, but the Shroud is still missing.

Sequence 8

Jacob visited parliament to uncover Starrick's plant in politics, assassinating the Earl of Cardigan. Evie and Henry attempted to recover plans showing the location of the Shroud. Henry was captured, and Evie chose saving him over finishing the mission. Blaming herself for the failure, Evie cut her ties with Henry.

Sequence 9

Jacob's encounter with the leader of the Blighters was a surprise. Maxwell Roth was a charming anarchist, whose views spoke to Jacob’s own. The two began to sabotage Starrick, but Jacob's moral objections ended the friendship. Devastated and betrayed, Roth hosted a deadly stage show at the Alhambra Music Hall. Jacob saved the guests and assassinated Roth.

Epilogue

An argument between Jacob and Evie had them ready to part ways when Henry arrived with the news that Starrick would attack Buckingham Palace. Faced with this threat, the three assassins put aside their differences for one last mission. Together they defeated Starrick, and agreed to continue protecting London together.
