History
By February 1725, John had made a lot of money, though lost it all gambling in Macau which made the poor man attempt to drown his sorrows by drinking heavily and boasting about discovering the ruins of the lost city of the Khmer Empire. After arriving in Macau to search for the ruins, which the Assassins believed to house Pieces of Eden, Edward Kenway approached John in Burnt Brian's Pub and tried to question him about his alleged discovery of Angkor. Mistaking Edward for a debt collecter, John caused a brawl and fled the tavern, though he was eventually caught by the Assassin and revealed it had been his friend Hendrik who had discovered the city. The pair were then attacked by a group of ninjas, who sought to silence John,[1] but they were quickly killed by Edward.[2]
John identified their attackers as pirates from Cipango and took Edward to the Dutch East India Company's dormitory in the city, where Hendrik was staying, so that the Assassin could protect him in case he was similarly attacked. John was told to wait outside and watched as Edward climbed up to his friend's room.[2] Minutes later, John was startled by Edward, who had jumped out the window and into a cart of hay below. After explaining to a shocked John that Hendrik had been murdered, Edward revealed that there had been a "little misunderstanding," as Hendrik's Dutch East India Company colleagues had mistaken Edward for his killer and were now chasing him. As both Edward and John attempted to escape their pursuers, the former told John that their time together had come to an end and pushed him into a nearby alley to get him out of danger.[3]
