Duncan Walpole (1679 – 1715) was a British member of the Assassin Order stationed in the Caribbean, during the early 18th century, who attempted to defect to the Templars. During his time in the Caribbean before his betrayal, he briefly trained under Assassin Mentor Ah Tabai.
In June of 1715, the Royal Navy warship carrying Walpole, the HMS Intrigue, identified and attacked a pirate brig, the Jacobite, captained by Bramah. The pirates managed to de-mast the frigate, but soon found that their own weapon magazine had been hit. Boarding the ship, Walpole assassinated the captain, but was thrown overboard by the magazine explosion.
Shipwrecked in Cape Bonavista, Cuba, Walpole attempted to enlist the aid of the only other survivor - the pirate Edward Kenway - in reaching Havana. Edward attempted to haggle the price of passage, but Duncan threatened him with a flintlock pistol in response, only to find that it was unable to fire due to wet gunpowder. Walpole subsequently fled into the jungle, and Edward gave chase before eventually dueling and killing him.
On Duncan's corpse, Edward found a letter from the Spanish Governor of Cuba, Laureano de Torres y Ayala, referencing the cargo Walpole was bringing to him: a blood vial and maps pertaining to the locations of Assassin bureaus across the Caribbean. Edward chose to assume Walpole's identity and collect the reward himself.[1]
While disguised as Walpole, Woodes Rogers mentioned that Duncan had previously met his wife at a party and she described Duncan as handsome. Torres also mentions that Walpole had stated in one of his letters that he desired to kill the Assassin Mentor Ah Tabai.
Trivia
