Kenneth Abraham

"It's those lookout men you've really got to look out for. You hear the Abeng Horn, you don't laugh, you run. See you coming from miles away, they do. Catch you when you least expect it."

―Kenneth Abraham, speaking to a soldier.

Kenneth Abraham (1675 – 1716) was a member of the Templar Order in charge of eliminating the Assassins in Kingston and their bureau leader, Antó. The pirate Edward Kenway collaborated with Antó to track down Abraham and assassinate him.

Biography

Background

Abraham was born to an upper-class family in England in 1675. He was enrolled in boarding school at the age of five, and learned to fight for himself at an early age as a result. Upon graduation, he entered the British Army and rose up the ranks, culminating in him earning the title of Commander.

Due to his near obsession with order and discipline, it was not long before he was recruited into the Templar Order. He was further drawn in by the power extending beyond his military title, and soon became a trusted member. From 1705 and on, he ascended its ranks as quickly as he did in his military career by devoting himself to the promotion of order and peace.

He had the constant urge to rid the world of all unpredictable and disorderly elements, making him a very effective earner in the Templar Order. In 1714, he was tasked in the elimination of the Maroon Assassins, a faction of the Assassin Order based in Kingston, Jamaica, and their leader Antó. Abraham was also a slave trader, and when finding Maroon Assassins he would re-enter them into the slave trade instead of outright killing them.

Confrontation with Antó

In 1716, pirate Edward Kenway met with Maroon Assassin leader Antó in Kingston. He was initially tasked with releasing Maroons who were once more captured and forced into slavery, though he soon earned Antó's trust and was entrusted with the job of assassinating Abraham.

The pair tailed a group of soldiers to a banquet in upper Kingston, where a large group of Templars were gathering for a feast. Edward found Abraham consorting with the guests, leaving him out in the open for a killing blow. His assassination diminished the Templars' efforts to eliminate the Maroon Assassins to nothingness.

Trivia

• Kenneth is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Cainnech or Coinneach, derived from the word caoin, meaning "handsome".
• In the Animus database, Abraham appeared to be wearing the clothes of the Commander.
• The Animus database lists Abraham's date of death as 1715, which is incorrect considering Edward only found out about him and the Templar key he carried in March 1716.
