Alan Jacob was a businessman who served as the representative of the Far East Company in Portuguese Macau during the 1720s. Alongside Jan van Aert of the Dutch East India Company and Master Sun of the Hualien Trading Company, he was a rival of the trading company led by Madam Lee. 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.[1]
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 suspected one of them of being a Templar.[2]
To cripple Lee's company, Alan came up with a plan that would require him, Sun and Jan to work together more closely and combine their respective companies' resources. While Sun was going to use his connections with the Shimazu clan to have the ninja continue attacking Lee's operations, Jan would have the Dutch East India Company detain Lee's ships in the Macau harbor.[3]
Seeing that Sun and Jan were hesitant to follow his lead, Alan tried to entice their cooperation by showing them a "treasure" he had acquired, which he promised would bring them unprecedented wealth. Having convinced the two to do as they had been told, Alan then left the church in order to prepare for the next step of his plan.[3]
As it turned out, this plan was to frame Lee's company for transporting illegal narcotics - actually smuggled into Macau by the Far East Company - so that the Dutch Navy would detain her ships in the harbor for investigation. Deciding to put an end to this plan, Kenway followed Alan to one of his convoys, which he then tailed to a basement in an alley where Alan's men were unloading the narcotics.[4]
