Early life
Kesegowaase was born in 1730 in the territory of the Wolastoqiyik tribe, around modern day New Brunswick. During his youth, he lived in a fortified village surrounded by agricultural land, and practiced hunting, fishing and other methods.[1]
As tensions arose between the British and his people, Kesegowaase and other members of his tribe became mercenaries for the French Army. In 1746, he met Achilles Davenport and Liam O'Brien, Assassins who fought for the French. Impressed by Kesegowaase's determination, the two invited him to join the Assassin Order. In 1749, Kesegowaase met Shay Cormac and would serve as one of his instructors. He would also gain the loyalty of warriors from nearly every native tribe in the region, providing the Brotherhood with a valuable force.[1]
Hunting the Templars
In March 1752, Kesegowaase taught Shay the finer points of hunting and how to craft holsters for his pistols, while also criticizing him for his tardiness. Kesegowaase would later meet with his fellow Assassins to discuss the Templars' progress on the Precursor box, noting that they had sought information about the artifact from many tribes. Around this time, Kesegowaase also reported that the Templar James Wardrop had evicted several tribes from their original homes.[1]
In early 1756, Shay returned from Lisbon, having unintentionally caused an earthquake there while attempting to recover a Piece of Eden. Determined to keep the Assassins away from any Precursor sites, Shay stole the Manuscript in Achilles' possession. With Shay being caught in the act, Kesegowaase and the other Assassins of the Davenport Homestead attempted to kill the former. Although Shay was eventually cornered, he jumped off a cliff, leading the Assassins to believe him dead.[1]
Siege of Fort William Henry
In August 1757, the French Army under Louis-Joseph de Montcalm and a large force of native warriors under Kesegowaase's command besieged Fort William Henry. After several days of bombardement, and no sight of reinforcements from William Johnson, the British garrison under the command of the Templar George Monro surrendered to Montcalm. Thanks to the latter, the British were allowed to surrender while keeping their arms and colors.[1]
As the British retreated on the morning of 9 August, Kesegowaase and the Assassins and natives under his command ambushed them, breaking the terms of the surrender and killing a large number of troops. Liam tolerated this, believing it would serve the Assassins' interests. At his time, Shay, now a Templar, arrived. Upon being informed of the events by Jack Weeks, Shay managed to rescue Monro and his men. As they headed for Shay's ship, the Morrigan, Kesegowaase appeared. Shocked by Shay's survival, Kesegowaase ordered his men to attack the British column.[1]
The column fought off the attackers, and continued onwards slowly, while Shay eliminated any potential ambushers. As the British boarded the Morrigan, Kesegowaase and his men attempted to follow, Weeks threw a powder barrel at them while Shay shot it. The explosion severly scarred Kesegowaase's face, and his men pulled him away.[1]
Attack on Albany
Having failed to kill Shay and Monro, Kesegowaase prepared to attack Albany and sent his men to threaten an Oneida village in order to acquire an ancient set of native armor. In anticipation of the attack, Shay managed to defeat the French troops attacking the British in the area and also liberated the Oneida village from Kesegowaase's men.[1]
On 3 November, Kesegowaase and his men attacked Albany, plundering the town and attacking the nearby Fort Frederick. Shay arrived in time to defend the fort from the attacking Assassins, and instructed Monro to take the Manuscript to the Morrigan while he defended Fort Frederick.[1]
Death
As Liam set off to assassinate Monro and retrieve the Manuscript, Kesegowaase infiltrated the fort in order to distract Shay. Shay was able to mortally wound Kesegowaase with a Puckle gun, and after a brief struggle he held the Assassin up against a wall. In his dying words, Kesegowaase scolded Shay for having betrayed the Assassins, and told him that he was too late to save Monro, with Liam already on his way to kill him.
