Biography

Meeting Haytham Kenway

In 1754, Lee met with Haytham Kenway in Boston to aid in the search for the Temple of the First Civilization. Lee helped Haytham recruit those on his list to his Order, and helped assassinate Silas Thatcher and Edward Braddock. Afterwards, Lee was inducted into the Templar Order.

Meeting Ratonhnhake:ton

Years later, Lee and his fellow Templars (with the exception of Haytham) sought to meet with the elders of the local Kanien'keha:ka tribe. Lee encountered a young boy in the forest and forciblly demanded the location of his village. Instead of answering, the boy merely asked for Lee's name, so he could hunt him down later. Amused, Lee said that he would look forward to it and left after knocking him out. Lee would only find out years later that the boy was Ratonhnhake:ton, the son of his master, Haytham Kenway.
