Eventually, he was task to research an Apple of Eden, which was retrieved by the Templar. He soon began research on it in an underground research facility located under a train yard owned by Starricks in Croydon. After long periods of time, he has gained the secrets of the Piece of Eden little by little.

February 1868, he was called above ground by Starrick's faithful assistant and Templar occultist, Lucy Thorne.

After Lucy left, some guards have found a trespasser who they believed to be working for Henry Green. David orders them to interrogate him and before bringing him to his lab for experimentation. He then returned to his lab and continue his research with post-hast. However, everyone was unaware that an Assassin, Evie Frye, was eavesdropping on them.
