Biography
Originally living in Virginia, Wilkinson spent his early years working as a surveyor and hunter on the frontier with his family, where he trained and became an excellent marksman. However, growing up as the youngest of five children, Clipper felt less valued than his elder brothers and grew tired of competing with them. As a result, he became estranged with his family and chose to move to New York. During his journey, Wilkinson hoped to find contracts in New York for a living and take part in the Colonist expeditions to the west of Ohio.
While in Boston, the American Revolutionary War began and Wilkinson's family had sided with British Loyalists. However, Wilkinson noticed that many young men and boys were being forced into military service by the British and executed those who refused to take part. Wilkinson was greatly opposed to the conscription, hence sided with the Patriot's cause for freedom.
Having heard rumors about Connor's battle against the British oppression after the Boston Tea Party, Wilkinson approached Connor and requested his help. Connor liberated the South Boston district by assassinating the conscription agents. Connor soon after met up with Wilkinson, who had discovered a British officer who was responsible for the conscription and was assembling a group of men to be recruited into the British Army.
Connor decided to take action and assassinated the officer with the help of Wilkinson and his marksmanship skills. After freeing the recruits, Connor revealed the truth of the Templar Order and explained the Assassins' cause to liberate all of mankind. Wilkinson joined Assassin Brotherhood to fight for freedom.
