Southeast Asia is a geographical south-eastern region of Asia that is located south of the mainland China, east of the Indian subcontinent, and north-west of Australia.
History
Age of Colonialism
In the early 18th century, Southeast Asia became the "latest stage for the great game" among world powers, including the Qing, Dutch, British, Portuguese, French, and Spanish Empires, all of which competed to hold as much territory and influence in the region and established numerous colonies there.[1]
In 1725, the British Assassin Edward Kenway travelled to Southeast Asia after being informed of potential Isu vaults in the region that could contain Pieces of Eden. Initially conducting much of his investigation within the Portuguese colony of Macau, Edward later established his own organization, the Zhang Wei Union, alongside the allies he had made in the city.[2] These allies accompanied Edward when he left Macau to continue his investigation in the Philippines, where the Union clashed with other factions seeking the Pieces of Eden for themselves.[3]
In Manila, the Union members came across a Piece of Eden in the shape of a crescent amulet,[4] which was claimed by Rajah, the leader of a Visayan resistance against the Spanish colonists.[5] Edward ultimately defeated Rajah in Cebu,[6] where the latter had retrieved a sea log containing clues to the whereabouts of two other Pieces of Eden.[5] Although Edward managed to escape with the amulet, he lost the sea log to members of the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins, who sought to use the Pieces of Eden's power to overthrow the Qing dynasty and rebuild their collapsed Order.[7]
The Union members were later betrayed by their ally Jan van Aert, the Dutch East India Company's chief navigator, and imprisoned in the Sultanate of Sulu as a result.[8] After escaping, they sought to recover the crescent amulet but were forced to fight against the Chinese Assassins.[9] The latter ultimately won the battle and fled with the amulet after killing the Union's doctor Xialun Qing,[10] while Edward and his remaining companions were forced to escape from Sulu empty-handed.[11]
While recuperating in Singapore, Edward was unexpectedly reunited with his wife Tessa and daughter Jennifer, who had come to warn him that the Assassins had uncovered a Templar plot to kill him.[12] After parting ways with his family, Edward and his allies sailed to Burma in search of the second Piece of Eden, which was hidden in the Shwedagon Pagoda.[13]
Modern times
By the 21st century, the Zhang Wei Union had been reformed as the Zhawang Corporation, but continued to operate throughout Southeast Asia, occasionally working alongside the Assassin Brotherhood. In 2023, they attempted to rescue Noa Kim, a Korean-American descendant of Edward Kenway who had been abducted by Abstergo Industries[14] in order to use his genetic memories to find the crescent amulet encountered by Edward.[15]
After two failed attempts to retrieve Noa in both Macau[2] and Cebu,[16] and following Abstergo's retrieval of the amulet from the Strait of Malacca,[17] the Assassin Nathan Zhang made a deal with Dr. Shimazu Sei, who sought to save Noa after Abstergo ordered his termination.[18] Nathan helped Sei, her bodyguard Yuki, and Noa escape from Abstergo with the amulet and brought them to a safehouse in Singapore. There, while Noa recovered from the amulet's effects, Sei used the Animus to relive the memories of her ancestor Shimazu Saito in the hopes they would lead her to another Piece of Eden that could speed up Noa's recovery.[19]
When Sei began to suffer from the Bleeding Effect, Noa took her place in the Animus,[8] and his genetic memories ultimately revealed the location of the Piece of Eden hidden in the Shwedagon Pagoda.[11] Sei, Noa, Yuki, and Nathan subsequently traveled to Myanmar, which was in the midst of a civil war, to recover the artifact while avoiding Abstergo.[20]
