Edward Braddock (1695 – 1755), nicknamed the Bulldog by his soldiers, was a member of the Templar Order and a general in the British Army.

During the French and Indian War, Braddock was the commander-in-chief for the thirteen colonies of British America. He had several soldiers under his command, including John Pitcairn and Charles Lee, whom he rarely saw due to their allegiance to the Templar cause. Over the course of the war, Braddock turned away from the Templar ideals and impeded the Order's goals in the colonies, much to the chagrin of the other members.

This disobedience came to a head when Braddock was confronted by Haytham Kenway, Braddock's former friend and fellow Templar, when Haytham attempted to recruit John Pitcarin for the expedition to find a First Civilization storehouse.

Braddock was eventually killed by Haytham, in order to gain the trust of Kaniehtí:io, a Mohawk woman who promised to show Haytham the location of the storehouse, in exchange for eliminating Braddock. Haytham also took the Templar ring from Braddock's finger, which was later given to Charles Lee upon the latter's initiation into the Templar Order.

Final Words

• Edward: Why, Haytham?
• Haytham: Your death opens a door. It's nothing personal. Well, maybe it is a LITTLE personal. You've been a pain in my arse, after all.
• Edward: But we are brothers in arms.
• Haytham: Once, perhaps. No longer. Do you think I've forgotten what you did? All those innocents slaughtered. And for what? It does engender peace to cut your way to resolution.
• Edward: Wrong! Were that we applied the sword more liberally and more often, the world would be a better place than it is today.
• Haytham: In this instance, I concur.
