History

The Colonial Brotherhood was founded by John de La Tour around the early 18th century after his arrival to the colonies. After having been recruited in the 1730s, Achilles Davenport became the Mentor of the Colonial Assassins in 1746. Blessed with a talent for recruitment and organization, Achilles also strengthened the Brotherhood's ties with the Iroquois.[1]

In 1763, the Templars launched an attack on the Assassins in the colonies and the Brotherhood was decimated. Achilles was captured and tried by the Templars, but was allowed to live out his life if he abandoned the Assassins' cause and moved into the wilderness.[2]
