Biography
Activities in Macau
- "If they're tracing Edward Kenway's footsteps... their next destination will likely be either Cebu or Manila. Either way, they'll be heading for the Philippines. Monitor their course and find out where they're heading without being detected."
- ―Claire instructing her agents to survey Abstergo, c. 2023.[src]-[m]
In 2023, the Zhawang Corporation learned about Noa Kim, a Korean-American descendant of the British Assassin Edward Kenway, who had originally founded the company as the Zhang Wei Union. Regarding Noa as a member of their "family", Claire and Nathan sought to rescue him following his abduction by Abstergo Industries, who wished to use Noa's genetic memories to locate a Piece of Eden.[1]
Working together, Claire and Nathan organized an ambush during Noa's trip with the Japanese Templar Shimazu Sei to the A-Ma Cultural Village in Macau. While members of Doom Eagle attacked Sei and her guards as a distraction, two of Claire's operatives attempted to convince Noa to leave with them. However, the rescue operation failed as Noa refused to leave with the agents and defeated Nathan's thugs to protect Sei.[2]
Claire's operatives continued to keep watch on Noa and eventually found that he was being held aboard the Exitus research vessel. When the Exitus left Macau's harbor, an agent contacted Claire to update her on the situation. Claire suspected the Templars' destination to be either Manila or Cebu and tasked her men to monitor the ship's course without being detected.[1]
Just then, Nathan snatched away the operative's phone to talk to Claire. Claiming that his organization had a foothold in the Philippines, Nathan asked to take over the operation to rescue Noa. Claire reluctantly conceded and asked Nathan to avoid "blowing it out of proportion", only for the latter to remark that, since their failed attack in the A-Ma Cultural Village, Abstergo had likely increased their security. An annoyed Claire then asked Nathan to still try and keep a low profile, to which he laughed and said it was easier said than done.[1]
Supervising Nathan
- Claire: "I guess this whole thing turned out exactly how you wanted. A complete mess, I mean."
- Nathan: "Hey, we're dealing with Kenway's descendant here. Did you really thing he'd be that much of an easy catch?"
- —Claire and Nathan, following the latter's failed operation to rescue Noa, c. 2023.[src]-[m]
To aid Nathan's rescue operation, Claire supplied Doom Eagle with several Zhawang Corporation trucks that were used in their ambush of the Abstergo convoy containing Noa.[3] In the end, however, Nathan's attempt to retrieve Noa failed, as the young man was insistent on following his own path, and Nathan was forced to escape from Abstergo's paramilitary task force Sigma Team, which arrived to secure Noa.[4]
After Nathan called Claire to update her on the situation, she reprimanded him for his recklessness and for almost running into Sigma Team, though Nathan was confident that they would have posed no challenge. When Claire expressed concern regarding Abstergo's search for the Piece of Eden, Nathan assured her that Noa would ultimately side with his "family" and deliver the artifact to the Corporation.[5]
Claire stated that she hoped Nathan was right about Noa, as keeping the Piece of Eden out of Abstergo's hands was the only way to ensure no one else would have to suffer like Nathan had. Nathan then pondered if the Brotherhood thought the same, before claiming that the Assassins were no brothers of his and that the only creed he and Claire followed was the one they had sworn to themselves: to never abandon family.[5]
Sometime later, Nathan again called Claire while he was on "vacation", informing her of his plan to ambush Abstergo when they inevitably attempted to retrieve a crescent amulet – a Piece of Eden – from the Strait of Malacca. After Claire expressed concern regarding the plan, Nathan assured her that we was not acting alone and that he had enlisted the aid of some "old friends" to put him in contact with Shimazu Sei so they could negotiate a deal.[6]
