James Wardrop (c. 1705 – July 1754) was a merchant, politician, and member of the Templar Order in the years leading up to the Seven Years' War. Operating along the Thirteen Colonies, Wardrop was the custodian of the Voynich manuscript, a First Civilization artifact.
Raised in a Templar family, Wardrop's main role in the Order was to secure land and wealth, building up the foundation for the fledgling Colonial Rite. In his efforts, Wardrop also created a valuable trade network with the Caribbean, earning a substantial revenue.
In 1752, as war with France was imminent, Wardrop came into possession of the manuscript and was tasked with translating it by his fellow Templar, Lawrence Washington. However, Wardrop's colleague Samuel Smith was killed by the Assassin Shay Cormac some months later, and Wardrop's own progress with the artifact was halted.
Two years later, Wardrop was in Albany during the Albany Congress, but was killed by Shay during the proceedings, and the Assassin managed to retrieve the manuscript from him.
