Biography

Early life

"There is a girl of uncanny strength and wit: Patience Gibbs [...] I have attempted to recruit Patience for the Brotherhood, but she will not allow me to approach her with help."
―Connor in his letter to Aveline.[src]

Patience was born into slavery in Newport, Rhode Island, but even from an early age, she rebelled against her fate. When slavery was abolished in 1784, Patience could not accept that minors such as herself would be obligated to serve out their "contracts" until they reached the age of majority. Along with a small group of slaves, she escaped her master, Dr. Edmund Judge, and set up a camp on Goat Island, where she kept them safe using a charm she'd inherited from her mother.

During this time, she was approached by Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Connor, who recognized her potential and wanted to recruit her into the Brotherhood. However, Patience refused to establish contact, instead focusing on chartering a ship for her and the slaves.

Captured

"Jail her. Discipline her as you must. But remember, I'm paying you to keep her alive. I must have that charm."
―Judge ordering Patience's imprisonment.[src]

Despite Patience's efforts, the rebel camp was eventually discovered by Judge's guards and subsequently ransacked. While Patience herself was brought to Fort Washington, where Judge stayed, the rest of the slaves were detained in small groups and interrogated about the whereabouts of Patience's artifact, albeit with little success. At the fort, Patience was imprisoned for further interrogation on Judge's orders.

However, Patience was soon freed by French-African Assassin Aveline de Grandpré, whose aid had been requested by Connor. Distrustful of the female Assassin, Patience bolted, but was apprenhended while trying to escape the fort. Judge, having had enough of her antics, held her at gunpoint and demanded she hand over the charm, which she reluctantly did.
