I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
- "Sometime during the Seven Years' War the Templars made their move and destroyed [the Colonial Brotherhood] during the Assassin witch hunt."
- ―Shaun Hastings on the 1763 attack, 2012.[src]
The 1763 Colonial Assassin purge was a full-scale assault on the Assassin Brotherhood in the Thirteen Colonies by the Colonial Rite of the Templar Order, led by Grand Master Haytham Kenway.
History
Following Haytham's arrival in the New World in 1754, the newly formed Colonial Rite quickly came into conflict with the already established Assassin Brotherhood in the region. While initially a proxy war between the Templars and mercenaries recruited by the Assassins, the conflict soon intensified.
After nine years, the Templars launched their assault and attacked the Davenport Homestead; they killed all Assassins present, with the exception of their aging Mentor, Achilles Davenport.
Convinced that the lone Assassin no longer posed a threat, the Templars spared Achilles' life, on the condition that he give up his life as an Assassin. Achilles agreed, and spent the next six years in complete isolation in his manor until the arrival of Ratonhnhaké:ton.
