Sir William Wallace (c. 1270 – 1305) was a Highlander member of the Scottish Brotherhood of Assassins and a knight who served as one of the Scotland's leaders during the First War of Scottish Independence alongside Sir Andrew Murray. Although Wallace was captured and executed in 1305 by the English, his death inspired many to fight for Scottish independence.
Biography
Several years prior to joining the fight for Scottish independence, Wallace underwent his Assassin training under the watchful eyes of his mentor Sören, who took him in and raised him after his father died.[1]
By 1296, he was based on Scone Abbey, alongside the other members of the Brotherhood. While there, he spotted his fellow Assassin Deorsa talking to a newly-arrived Fillan and noticed that Deorsa had managed to get into Fillan's nerves. Seeing this, William drove Deorsa away and started talking to the boy. He introduced himself to Fillan and walked along with him around the abbey as he lamented the "death" of Fillan's twin sister, Ailéas. He then apologized for all the secrecy Fillan was experiencing, stating that he also had experiensed it before when he had first joined the Brotherhood. They then proceeded to talk about Sören and all the hardships he had faced to get to Scone. He then told the boy that a meeting with the other members of the Brotherhood was gonna be hosted later that evening, where he would get all the answers he craved for. While he was explaining this, Fillan took notice of the Stone of Destiny that two monks were moving, and William proceeded to explain the fabled story of said stone. After talking about the Gaelic descent of the stone, as well as Fillan's infatuation with Kyle Macdougall, William vaguely explained the relation between the stone and the Children of Fal.[2]
Once at the meeting, William, along with abbot Thomas of Balmerino, Amy Comyn and Deorsa, explained to Fillan the nature of his existence and the history of the Brotherhood in Scotland. William then handed the boy the Swords of Fal, the legendary weapons of his extinct clan, and told Fillan that they would hold another meeting tomorrow, where he would decide whether or not he would join the Assassin cause.[3]
Legacy
In 1791, the Haitian Assassin Fabien mentioned the impact Wallace's death had on Scots to his fellow Assassin Elsie. In Fabien's eyes, he believed that Dutty Boukman's execution would likewise inspire the Maroons to rebel against the French.[4]
Appearance
From Fillan's perspective, William was a very tall man, described as almost "mountain-like", being taller than his former master, Sören, and with muscles bigger than any Fillan had seen ever.[2]
