History
In 1725, the islands became overrun with pirates which led to a loss of trade for the Dutch East India Company. Jan van Aert, the company's chief navigator, requested the aid of the British Assassin Edward Kenway and his organization, the Zhang Wei Union, to rid the islands of the pirates, having been aware of Edward's former activities in the Caribbean. Jan offered Edward the opportunity to keep any valuables he looted from the pirates and promised to secure a five-year partnership between his company and Edward's upon the job's completion, which led Edward to accept his proposal.[1]
