John Harrison (unknown – 9 October 1757) was a member of the British Rite of the Templar Order.
Due to his intelligence and loyalty, Harrison became a trusted agent of the Grand Master Reginald Birch. He was tasked with meeting Templar allies across the world, such as Duarte Jorge Correia Pinto, Alonso Fernández de Heredia, and Magdelaine Lévesque. Harrison was also involved in coordinating the Order's major operations, including the search for the Grand Temple in the American colonies, and the Prophecy Disk in Chichen Itza. He would often make suggestions to Birch, such as moving the headquarters of the Chichen Itza operation to Louisiana under Madeleine de L'Isle's supervision, and to promote her to the rank of Master Templar as a reward for her services.[1]
On 18 April 1754, Haytham Kenway murdered the Assassin Miko at the Theatre Royal in London, and acquired the amulet in his possession. Birch explained that the amulet served as the key to the Grand Temple, that he had spent decades searching for. Harrison used his skills to narrow down the location of the temple, and told Haytham that it was located somewhere in the northern part of the colonies, most likely New York or Massachusetts area. Subsequently, Haytham set off to locate the Grand Temple and aquire its contents for the Templars.[2]
In 1757, Haytham learned that Birch was the man responsibke for the murder of his father, Edward, in Haytham's youth. On 9 October, Haytham and his half-sister Jenny arrived at Birch's home in Troyes, France, to confront the Grand Master, but Harrison stood in their path. He attacked Haytham with a pistol at the house's stairwell, but Haytham dodged the shot and proceeded to grapple Harrison to the floor to demanded answers from him. As Harrison remained silent, Haytham responded by killing him with his Hidden Blade.[3]
