Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 – 1898), better known by his penname Lewis Carroll, was a British mathematician, poet and writer who lived in England in the late 19th century. His most famous works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass.
Biography
In 1868, Carroll could often be found in The Strand reading a few of his poems, such as Jabberwocky and The Walrus and the Carpenter, to a group of children. During his reading of the Jabberwocky, the children will ask what a bandersnatch is, which Carroll has yet to decide on. He just knows "it's fearsome and has a taste for children".[1]
In November 2015, a Helix Initiate modified their Animus and included the Vorpal Kukri inspired by Carroll's poem Jabberwocky into Jacob and Evie Frye's arsenal.[1]
Behind the scenes
Lewis Carroll appears as a small easter egg in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, where he can be found in The Strand district of London reading the poem Jabberwocky to a group of children. Afterwards, Lewis Carroll prepares to read The Walrus and the Carpenter.
Carroll is also referenced in the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla memory "Alisa in Wunderlandscire".
