Alan Jacob was a businessman who served as the representative of the Far East Company in Portuguese Macau during the 1720s.

All three ultimately allied with the Templars in order to sabotage Lee's business and benefit their own.

Biography

In February 1725, under the Templars' influence, Alan collaborated with Master Sun, head of the Hualien Trading Company, and Jan van Aert, the Chief Navigator for the Dutch East India Company, to sabotage the rival trading company led by Madam Lee and benefit their own respective businesses in the process. To this end, they hired Shimazu clan ninja led by the Templar Shimazu Saito to eliminate Lee at her own residence, the Mandarin's House.

After the ninja failed to kill Lee, Alan called an emergency meeting with Sun and Jan at St. Dominic's Church in order to discuss their next course of action. On his way to the meeting, Alan was unknowingly followed by the Assassin Edward Kenway, the one who had saved Lee's life. Observing the meeting from a balcony, Kenway listened to the three men's conversation and tried to figure out which of them was a Templar.
