Hope Jensen (1732 – 1759) was a member of the Assassin Order operating in North America during the Seven Years' War. Along with Liam O'Brien and Shay Cormac, Hope was mentored by Achilles Davenport; her resourcefulness allowed her to control much of New York City's organized crime.
Biography
Early life
Born in New York City to a modest family, Hope was placed in an orphanage after the death of her parents. She was subsequently adopted by a German couple, who hoped to build a new life for themselves in the colonies. They symbolized this desire by naming their newly-adopted daughter Hope. Although it took several years, the Jensens eventually grew wealthy, the business endeavors of Hope's father turning great profits, and began to mix with New York's finer circles. However, despite their best efforts to fit in, they were never truly accepted by the city's elite.
Growing up, Hope was taught by private tutors and gradually realized the injustice rampant in the world. In 1742, her father disappeared under mysterious circumstances and was never found again, following which her father's former business partners took control of the family business. Left with nothing, Hope and her mother were forced to live on the streets.
Eventually, Hope's mother fell ill, her health slowly deteriorating. Despite her daughter's best efforts at stealing food and medicines, she died a slow and painful death. Hope subsequently vowed never to depend on anyone again.
Joining the Assassins
In 1746, Hope met Achilles Davenport, who was impressed by her survival instincts, pickpocketing skills and strength of will; she was officially inducted into the Brotherhood a year later. Tasked with setting up a network in New York, Hope soon controlled most of the city's organized crime, her Assassin gangs taking control of each district. She also helped trained a great many apprentices, including Shay Cormac.
In 1751, Hope worked with Shay to obtain Benjamin Franklin's assistance in using electricity from lightning on a Precursor box that revealed the locations of Pieces of Eden. Afterwards, Shay had to flee the scene while Hope masqueraded as Franklin's housekeeper to avoid suspicion from the guards.
Shay set off for Lisbon to retrieve the Piece of Eden, only to return in a fury, accusing Achilles of having him commit mass murder, claiming that disturbing the Precursor site set off an earthquake that destroyed the city. Shay later stole the manuscript needed to translate Precursor language, resulting in the Brotherhood attempting to kill him for his betrayal. They assumed Shay was killed and the manuscript lost, unaware that the Templar George Monro had rescued him and recruited the traitorous Assassin into the Templar Order.
Death
In 1760, Hope managed to replicate the Franklin experiment to find more Precursor sites. Once they had another location, Liam went to inform Chevalier. Hope then detected Shay spying on her and shot him down. She then unleashes poison gases in the warehouse, giving herself the antidote and fled. But upon seeing Shay emerge unscathed, she struck him with a poison that slowly his heartbeat, but that didn't stop Shay from chasing her down and assassinating her and taking the antidote from her. Shay expressed remorse at having to kill her. With her dying breath, Hope stated that she bought Chevalier time to reach the Precursor site and lamented that Shay had so much potential.
