===Early life===
Faulkner began his career in the Royal Navy, but as he was unable to purchase commissions, he left to work for the United Company of Merchants. Faulkner proved to be great mariner, running a disciplined crew and avoiding trouble. He also had an uncanny knack of predicting the weather. During his time as a merchant in {{Wiki|Nova Scotia}}, he had a brief relationship with [[Amanda Bailey]].
In 1753, Faulkner was recruited by the [[Colonial Assassins]] to be first mate of their ship the ''Aquila''. He served aboard for fifteen years, though he deferred the position of captain. During the 1760s, the Templars - led by [[Haytham Kenway]] - launched an all out extermination of the Assassins, culminating in the ''Aquila'''s destruction in 1768. Faulkner had the wreck towed to the [[Davenport Homestead]]'s harbor, and fell into alcoholism.
===Mentoring Connor===
Two years later, the former Mentor [[Achilles Davenport]] introduced Faulkner to his recruit Connor. Connor had recruited the lumberers [[Terry]] and [[Godfrey]], who gathered the timber necessary to repair the ship. Six months later, after the ''Aquila'' had been repaired, Faulkner gathered a crew and took Connor aboard to teach him how to captain a ship.
They sailed to [[Martha's Vineyard]] to buy cannons and recruit gunnery officers. Faulkner reunited with Amanda and recruited [[David Clutterbuck|David]] and [[Richard Clutterbuck]]. However, Connor noticed the Templars [[Nicholas Biddle]] and [[Benjamin Church]] sitting nearby, and almost provoked them into a fight. Faulkner and Bailey defused the situation by leaving. Faulkner then taught Connor how to use the cannons and swivel guns. However, as they began sailing home, they were waylaid by English frigates, giving Connor a baptism of fire.
Three years later, the ''Aquila'' sailed to Martha's Vineyard following reports of gunboats gathering to threaten merchant ships. Connor and Faulkner escorted a ship to safety while firing on the gunboats. They encountered a blockade of [[naval mines]]: Faulkner suggested firing on the mines to use them to their advantage. They then discovered [[Fort Phoenix]] had been reoccupied, and despite heavy mortar fire, the ''Aquila'' managed to destroy the fort. Faulkner deduced Templars were responsible for the raids, while Connor opted to sail home to piece things together.
1773 was also the year Connor began searching for [[William Kidd]]'s treasure. During these voyages, the ''Aquila'' was anchored and Faulkner would row a boat to take Connor where he needed to be. The first clue to Kidd's treasure was located in [[Fort Wolcott]]: Connor infiltrated the fort and obtained part of the treasure map, while Faulkner returned to the ''Aquila'' and ordered an attack so the captain could make his escape. Faulkner also accompanied Connor a year later to [[Dead Chest Island]] for the second part of the map, and to [[Cerros]] when he searched for [[Captain Kidd's Sawtooth Cutlass|Kidd's cutlass]].
===American Revolutionary War===
In 1776, the ''Aquila'' sailed to Nantucket. They rendezvoused with Bailey, who informed them Biddle - now captain of the [[USS Randolph|USS ''Randolph'']] - was raiding the coast. The ''Aquila'' sailed into a storm to rescue a merchant ship being attacked by the ''Randolph'' and her fleet. After saving it, they pursued the ''Randolph'', but were attacked by English frigates. After sinking them, the delay and the storm forced the ''Aquila'' to leave. Faulkner was confused as to why Biddle, a Patriot, was working with the British, but Connor realized he was manipulating them to convince the [[Continental Congress]] to strengthen the Navy.
Later that year, the ''Aquila'' sailed to the [[Caribbean Sea]] to escort the [[France|French]] supply ship [[Belladonna|''La Belladonna'']]. The ''Randolph'' had been her escort, but had abandoned her. The British soon attacked, and their man-of-war disabled the 'Belladonna''. The ''Aquila'' boarded the man-of-war and Connor interrogated the captain, who was a Templar that had been alerted to the ''Belladonna'' by Biddle. When Connor spotted the ''Randolph'', Faulkner ordered an attack, but the captain belayed that order as he could not leave the ''Belladonna'' defenseless.
1776 also took the ''Aquila'' to the [[Northwest Passage]] and [[Jamaica]] so Connor could recover two more pieces of Kidd's treasure map. Looking at the complete map, Faulkner realized the treasure was on [[Oak Island]], a forgettable isle he had sailed past dozens of times. When they arrived there a year later, Faulkner was nervous, concerned by the lengths Kidd went to hide his treasure on such a remote island. After Connor found the sinkhole the treasure was buried in, they were attacked by wolves: Faulkner ran, but the captain quickly dispatched them. Afterwards, they used explosives to open the sinkhole and Connor leapt in. When he finally emerged from a cave, Faulkner was disappointed to see he'd emerged with a mere coin. But when he lifted his flask to have a drink, the coin emitted an energy field that knocked it out of his hand, and Connor realized Kidd had possessed a [[Shard of Eden]].
In 1778, Faulkner sailed to [[Martinique]] with Connor and his father - Haytham Kenway - to find Benjamin Church, who had stolen supplies from the [[Continental Army]] at [[Valley Forge]]. Faulkner generally defended Connor from Haytham's dismissive attitude and exasperated criticisms of his son's sailing, fearing they were going to lose their pursuit. When the ''Aquila'' disabled Church's ship, Faulkner realized Haytham had pushed Connor to take the wheel, and collided the ships to board. Regardless, Faulkner continued with his duty of ordering the men to hook the ships up and attack.
That year, the ''Aquila'' also located the ''Randolph'', successfully boarding her so Connor could assassinate Biddle. However, Connor opted to fulfil Biddle's last request of letting him sink with his ship - much to Faulkner's disappointment, as he considered sinking the ''Randolph'' a waste of a good vessel. Regardless, he encouraged Connor to let the crew celebrate their victory.
Faulkner sailed with Connor during the [[Battle of the Chesapeake]]. The ''Aquila'' was ordered to hold the bay with just two other ships, until [[Admiral De Grasse]] returned with the main fleet. Ultimately, her allies were sunk and the ''Aquila'''s guns were disabled by a man-of-war. To Faulkner's disbelief, Connor rammed the ship, as he jumped on board, killed the captain and blew up their gunpowder, and returning just as the enemy ship exploded. Faulkner cheerfully dubbed Connor a "mad bastard", just as the French fleet arrived to relieve them.
