Master Sun was a Chinese businessman who served as the head of the Hualien Trading Company under the Qing Empire.
Based in Portuguese Macau during the 1720s, he was a rival of the trading company led by Madam Lee alongside Jan van Aert of the Dutch East India Company and Alan Jacob of the Far East Company. All three ultimately allied with the Templars in order to sabotage Lee's business and benefit their own.
Biography
In February 1725, under the Templars' influence, Sun collaborated with Alan Jacob, a representative of the Far East Company, and Jan van Aert, the Chief Navigator for the Dutch East India 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 Sun and Jan at St. Dominic's Church in order to discuss their next course of action. During the meeting, Sun expressed his belief that the failed attack nonetheless served as a clear warning to Lee that if she did not stop indulging her avarice, she would pay for it with her life. 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]
Sun listened to Alan's plan to cripple Lee's company, which required Sun to use his connections with the Shimazu clan to have the ninja continue their attacks against Lee's operations. However, both Sun and Jan were hesitant to follow Alan's lead and questioned his motives. To entice their cooperation, Alan showed them a "treasure" he had acquired, which he promised would bring them unprecedented wealth.[3]
Having been convinced to go along with Alan's plan, Sun later did as he had been told and convinced the Shimazu clan to send several ninja to attack the Macau market, where some of Lee's most important workers were located.[3] He also used his connections with pirates across the Straits of Malacca to hire a crew to raid Lee's ships along the coast, promising them no interference from the Dutch Navy. However, this attack was ultimately thwarted by Edward Kenway, who subsequently interrogated the pirate captain and learned Sun was his employer.[4]
After Alan's plan to frame Lee's company for drug trafficking backfired and resulted in one of the Far East Company's ships being detained by the Dutch Navy thanks to Kenway's interference,[5] Sun met with Alan and Jan at the port. There, he witnessed a furious Alan accuse Jan of betraying their agreement and attempting to sabotage his company, despite Jan claiming he had no choice in the matter. Sun broke up their fight and revealed that he suspected Lee had somehow learned about their plan and had sabotaged it. He then offered to help Alan recover his confiscated merchandise and reminded him and Jan that they could not end their alliance until they had dealt with Lee.[6]
