"It's nice to be a part of something. Until now I was sort of drifting about the neighborhood getting irate when I saw things unjust. Sometimes I'd intervene, other times I would come here. Now I feel like all my energy is pointed at something."

―Deborah to Connor.

Deborah "Dobby" Carter (1736 - unknown) was a member of the Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins in the latter part of the 18th century, who lived in the Northern District in the colony of New York.

On recruiting Carter, it allowed Connor to use his Assassin recruits to lure away selected guards whenever they were available.

Biography

Deborah Carter was born to Amos Carter, a local merchant in New York who came into heavy debt. To this, she turned to the streets at the age of ten, becoming an errand-runner and disguising herself as a boy to allow her to do so, taking on the nickname, "Dobby".

However, as a teenager, she had to drop her disguise since her body's growth had foiled it, though she kept the alias of, "Dobby", and continued with her errand work, while also negotiating contracts between businesses. Accompanying this, Carter was known for looking out for the poor, often fighting merchants to ensure that they were not charging exorbitant prices.

She met Connor in the northern end of New York, where a famine had been affecting the population. As Connor aided the citizens, she went on to discover that a Templar merchant had been hoarding provisions, causing the famine. With her help, Connor assassinated the merchant, and she joined the Assassins afterwards.

Later, during a conversation in Boston, Connor exchanged friendly words with her. When she asked him what he planned to do, "after it was all over", he mentioned the possibility of settling down and having a family, to which Carter asked him to give her the first chance, prompting Connor to agree.
