Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 – 1898), better known by his penname Lewis Carroll, was a British mathematician, poet and writer who lived in England in the late 19th century. His most famous works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass.
Biography
In 1868, Carroll could often be found in The Strand reading a few of his poems, such as Jabberwocky and The Walrus and the Carpenter, to a group of children. During a reading of the Jabberwocky, some of the children asked what a bandersnatch is, to which Carroll responded that he had yet to decide on. He just knew "it's fearsome and has a taste for children".[1]
Legacy
In December 2012, when William Miles' Assassin cell (comprised of his son Desmond, Rebecca Crane, and Shaun Hastings), first entered the Grand Temple underneath Turin, New York, Hastings quoted "In another moment, down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again." from Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.[2]
In November 2015, a Helix Initiate modified their Animus and included the Vorpal Kukri inspired by Carroll's poem Jabberwocky into Jacob and Evie Frye's arsenal.[1]
Behind the scenes
Lewis Carroll appears as a small easter egg in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, where he can be found in The Strand district of London reading the poem Jabberwocky to a group of children. Afterwards, Lewis Carroll prepares to read The Walrus and the Carpenter.
Carroll is also referenced in the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla memory "Alisa in Wunderlandscire" as well as the Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game campaign Lost in Time which has chapters "Down the Rabbit Hole" and "The Mother of Wisdom's Playground".
