Outline A

===Sequence 1 ~ Singapore, Singapore (British Empire) - 16 August 1839 ~ Anglo-Chinese Opium Conflict  ===

~ Bartel Noltes, Born an orphan around September 1801, in Guangzhou (Canton), China- Dutch-Chinese Assassin - Chinese name Zhu Shao Ying (Zhu) - Ethnically Han Chinese - Learned English in an Anglican missionary's church - Arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1810 as a stowaway - Was adopted by Dutch Assassin Herbert Noltes, an important assassin during the Napoleonic Wars - Herbert killed in 1815 by French Templars under Napoleon's regime - Began training as a Novice in 1816 - Full fledged Assassin by 1838 - Sent to China on a diplomatic mission to contact Eastern Assassins involved with the Opium plot and the Ring of Eden.

The Western Assassin's have learnt of this news, and Bartel Noltes became the first of the sub-order to be sent on the mission to stop these Templars. But this is not a field trip... Bartel returns for his birthland.

• Bartel rescues an Assassin Novice and spy from British guards, whom take the Novice for a stowaway.
• The Novice gives Bartel the basic information on the Opium fleet and the gained information, and tells him that another Novice was supposed to meet him at the dock rendezvous point.
• Bartel goes to an inn to search for the imprisoned colleague, whom is on the mission to find the Opium fleet's captain's location.
• From a bartender/innkeeper, Bartel learns that the novice was taken away by British police earlier that day, and brought to a district courthouse.
• Bartel sneeks into the courthouse, and discovers
