History
In Portuguese Macau during the 1720s, the organization was represented by Alan Jacob who, under the Templars' influence, collaborated with Jan van Aert of the Dutch East India Company and Master Sun of the Hualien Trading Company to sabotage a rival trading company led by Madam Lee.[1] Under Alan's direction, the Far East Company secretly began trafficking opium, which Alan hoped to frame Lee's company for. However, his plan was foiled by the Assassin Edward Kenway, who raided one of the Far East Company's ships smuggling the opium into Macau and exposed their drug trafficking to the public.[2]
After the company's ship had been detained by the Dutch Navy, both Madam Lee and Master Sun sought to acquire its opium cargo for their own benefit.[3] However, they ultimately failed in this endeavor as the ship and its cargo were destroyed by Kenway and his allies, John Young and Captain Rupiya.[4] The Far East Company later retaliated by using its influence to blacklist Kenway's ecently-established organization, the Zhang Wei Union, so that its members would not find any clients to hire them.[5]
Around this time, the company, under the Templars' influence, began looking for a codebreaker to decipher an encrypted sea log in the Templars' possession. They also recruited people for an expedtion in Southeast Asia, which had the goal of locating the lost city of Angkor, an alleged Precursor site.[5]
