- "Why endanger Templar blood when we have so many here that would see killing him as God's work?"
- ―William Stoughton defending his point to Samuel Parris, 1692.[src]
William Stoughton (1631 – 7 July 1701) was a colonial magistrate and administrator in Massachusetts Bay. A member of the Templar Order, he was in charge of the Salem witch trials. By 1692, he worked closely with Samuel Parris as an executioner.[1]
Having discovered that the Assassins Tom Stoddard and Jennifer Querry had come to Salem to hunt for a precursor artifact, Stoughton encouraged the Salem townsfolk to hunt and kill the Assassins, an idea that Parris objected.[1]
They eventually caught up to the Assassins in a swamp and Stoughton let the injured Querry go so that they could follow her to Stoddard and Dorothy's location. Stoddard, thinking that Jennifer was a traitor, attacked her. Stoughton took this opportunity to assault Stoddard and tied the trio up.[2]
