- "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]
Samuel Parris (1631 – 1701) was a colonial magistrate and administrator in Massachusetts Bay. A member of the British Rite of the Templar Order, he was in charge of the Salem witch trials.
Biography
By 1692, he worked closely with William Stoughton as an executioner. Having discovered that the Assassins Tom Stoddard and Jennifer Querry had come to Salem to hunt for a precursor artifact, Parris 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 Parris let the injured Querry go so that they could follow her to Stoddard and the seer Dorothy's location. Stoddard, thinking that Jennifer was a traitor, attacked her. Parris took this opportunity to assault Stoddard and tied the trio up.[2]
Parris tortured the Assassins for information and threatened to hurt the mute boy David, secretly Querry's son. The worried Querry then offered to give them information when Consus once again possessed Dorothy, much to the glee of Parris. Querry took upon the opportunity to kill a guard and free Stoddard when Paris shot her dead. The shocked Stoddard then tried to free Dorothy and David when Paris shot him in the arm.[3]
The Templar threatened Stoddard and revealed that he was planning to experiment on the captured women to create more oracles. However, Dorothy, hearing Parris's words and overcome with guilt, killed herself in the fire. The enraged Parris tried to kill Stoddard, blaming him for the loss of his oracle and ranted on that he would find another even if he would try every woman in the colonies as a witch when his fellow Templar William Stoughton interfered and shot him in the shoulder. Stoughton freed David and Stoddard as he clearly objected Parris's ways of violence.[3]
