==Start of a Templar==
When Haytham Kenway first arrived in Boston, it was Charles Lee who assisted him, despite the fact that Lee was not a Templar. Due to his work helping Haytham recruit the needed individuals for his expedition to the Grand Temple, Haytham permitted Charles to join the Templars at the end of Sequence 3.
==American Revolution==
When Connor was a young boy, Charles Lee was one of the men who attacked and burned his village, resulting in the death of Connor's mother. He first attacked the young Connor to find his village and ordered William Johnson to knock the boy out once he had what he wanted.
Years later, Charles had risen to the rank of Haytham's second-in-command, providing assistance to many other Templars and once again knocking Connor out in prison when Connor was attempting to prevent Thomas Hickey's plot to kill George Washington.
==Decoy==
When Connor attacked Fort George in the hope of finding Lee there, he was instead confronted by Haytham, who had secretly sent Charles away from the fort, as he had expected Connor to assassinate Lee there.
==Assassination==
After Haytham's assassination, Charles attempted to flee back to Europe. Connor confronted him at the docks and chased him through the docks and a burning boat, the case ending when the floor collapsed underneath them and both sustained injuries. Lee was injured by the falling planks and Connor's side was impaled by a wooden pole. Charles asked Connor why he continued to fight despite the apparent futility of his actions. Connor replied it was because no-one else would as he shot Lee in the stomach before falling unconscious.
After he woke up, Connor tracked Lee downriver to an inn. Lee sat calmly at a table, offering Connor a drink which was accepted. Charles took one last drink and accepted his fate before Connor stabbed him in the heart.
