Jan van Aert was a Dutchman who served as Chief Navigator for the Dutch East India Company. Based in Portuguese Macau during the 1720s, Jan, alongside Alan Jacob of the Far East Company and Master Sun of the Hualien Trading Company, were rivals of the trading company led by Madam Lee and allied with the Templars in order to sabotage her business and benefit their own.
Biography
In February 1725, under the Templars' influence, Jan collaborated with Alan Jacob, a representative of the Far East Company, and Master Sun, head of the Hualien Trading 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 Jan and Sun at St. Dominic's Church in order to discuss their next course of action. During the meeting, Jan remarked that the ninja's failure might be a sign they were not as strong as they had thought, but Alan pointed out that all the ninja had been allegedly killed by a single skilled warrior. Unbeknowst to them, the Assassin Edward Kenway was watching the meeting from above after following Alan there and suspected one of them of being a Templar.[2]
Jan listened to Alan's plan to cripple Lee's company, which required Jan to use his standing in the Dutch East India Company to detain Lee's ships in the Macau harbor. Jan remarked his role in the operation to be suspiciously easy and questioned Alan's motives. Seeing that Sun was just as hesitant to follow his lead, Alan then showed the two a "treasure" he had acquired to entice their cooperation, promising them unprecedented wealth.[3]
Having been convinced to go along with Alan's plan, Jan later did as he had been told and, when several of Lee's ships were attacked by pirates at sea, he prevented the Dutch East India Company from sending any ships to assist Lee's fleet.[3]
