Cotton (unknown - 1839) was a General in the British Army and a member of the Templar Order who fought the Assassin Arbaaz Mir before dying at the hands of the First Civilisation.
During the 1830s, Cotton was assigned to accompany William Hay Macnaughton, the aide to the British Governor General to India, Lord Auckland. It was through this position that in 1839, Mister Cotton visited the Summer Palace in Amritsar, India, to attend the royal court of the Maharajah Ranjit Singh.
Upon arriving, he spotted the Assassin Arbaaz Mir posing as a Kashmir Emissary. Confronting the Assassin, he was told the two had no need to fight at that event. Sometime later during the function, Cotton oversaw Mir's attempts to locate the Koh-i-Noor diamond in the vaults beneath the palace.
Alerting the palace authorities to the attempted theft, Cotton had Mir temporarily imprisoned until he was released by the Princess. Confronting him a second time, this time with the Maharajah also present, Cotton preceded to again set the guards on the Assassin, claiming he was trying to take the Maharajah's life.
A conflict between the two followed, which was ended by the appearance of a member of the First Civilisation who attempted to destory the diamond, creating a blast that subsequently killed Cotton.
Trivia
- It is inferred by Cotton that, similar to characters such as Haytham Kenway and Julien du Casse, he is one of the few Templars to possess atleast one hidden blade, obtained as trophies of the Assassins he has killed.
