- ―Achilles to Connor.[src]
Achilles Davenport (1710 - early 1780's) was a Master Assassin and a Mentor for a span of time during the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War.
Recruited in the mid 1730s, Achilles became the Mentor of the Colonial Brotherhood in 1746, as he had a gift for both recruitment and organization.[1] In 1763, he was tried by the Templar leaders after the branch was decimated to all but himself, during the aftermath of the French and Indian War. In a show of mercy, Achilles was allowed to live if he resigned his role as an Assassin and moved into the wilderness.[2]
By 1770, Achilles resided at the Davenport Homestead. In that same year, he reluctantly recruited Ratonhnhaké:ton into the Assassin Order, and acted as his mentor thereafter. He provided Ratonhnhaké:ton with advice, and cautioned the younger Assassin whenever his ambition led him astray.[1]
However, Achilles passed away in the final Homestead memory. When Connor discovered his body, there was a note to him Achilles' hand apologizing that he never got to say goodbye. A funeral was held on the cliff behind his mansion and while others put flowers on his coffin, Connor put a feather in honour of the Assassins.
