A Single Madman was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus Omega.[1]

Description

Edward set out to kill Captain Julien du Casse, claim his vessel for Nassau's defense, and conquer the island's cove for himself.

Dialogue

Edward addressed his crew aboard the Jackdaw.

  • Edward: Gentlemen!

He walked through his crew and took a man's sword from its sheath. Jumping atop the deck railing, he waved the sword to be seen and the men gathered around him.

  • Edward: As is custom among our kind, we do not plunge headlong into folly on the orders of a single madman, but act according to our own collective madness! The object of our attention is a square-rigged galleon, and we want her for the advantage she'll bring Nassau. So I'll put it to the vote... All those in favor of storming this cove and taking this ship, stomp and shout "Aye!"
  • Crew: Aye!
  • Edward: Those who oppose... whimper "Nay."

Edward paused and heard no reply. Tossing the blade back to the man from whom he had taken it, he hopped down. On the way back to the helm, he passed Edward Thatch, who leaned on the railing to the quarterdeck, and James Kidd, who sat on the bottom step.

Edward left the Jackdaw and traveled through the jungle.

  • Soldier 1: ¿Le has dado a algo? ¿Ves algo? (Did you hit something? Can you see?)
  • Soldier 2: Si sientes curiosidad, ¿por qué no miras tú? (If you're so curious, why don't you have a look?)

Edward reached the small settlement on the other side of the island, but Julien was not present. Spotting the galleon still in harbor, he reasoned that Julien would be there if he was not on land. He swam to the ship and climbed its hull, eavesdropping on Julien giving orders to the crew.

  • Julien: Speed along, muchachos (men)! Double time!<>¡Vamos, deprisa! (Hurry now)! We've four harbours to hit this week!<>Eh, oh! Look alive!<>We'll weigh anchor before dawn!<> ¡Comed hasta hartaros! (Eat your fill, men)! This is the last time you will see land for a month!<>Lively, lads! What's happening there?<>See that the cargo is secure! Move your ass and do your job, (son of a bitch!)

Edward climbed the galleon's mast and assassinated Julien from above.

  • Edward: You remember the gift you gave me? Well it answers just fine.
  • Julien: Fils du putain! (You son of a whore!) As bold as a musket ball, and still half as sharp.
  • Edward: I'm sorry about this, mate. But I can't risk you telling your Templar friends about me still kicking around.
  • Julien: I pity you, boucanier (buccaneer). After all you have seen, after all we showed you of our Order, still you embrace the life of an ignorant and aimless rogue.

Edward took a key from Julien's body.

  • Edward: What's this...?
  • Julien: Is petty larceny the extent of your ambition? Have you no mind to comprehend the scope of ours? All the empires on Earth, abolished! A free and opened world, without parasites like you! Que l'enfer que tu trouveras soit le fruit de ton insouciance. (May the hell you find be of your own making.)

The Jackdaw pulled into the cove.

  • Edward: The cove is ours!

Outcome

Edward assassinated Julien du Casse, and claimed Great Inagua for himself.

Behind the scenes

If players try to have Edward approach du Casse's manor during the memory, it will make him desynchronize. Additionally, neither of the two tunnels that lead to the manor's later treasure cavern will be accessible.
