Peter Carroll was a high-ranking member of the British Rite of the Templar Order with his wife and daughter, May.[1]
Biography
In spring of 1774, Peter Carroll and his family visited the de la Serre estate in Versailles to discuss with the Parisian Templars' Grand Master François de la Serre about his plans regarding King Louis XVI and the future of France. While his wife and daughter were entertained by Julie and Élise de la Serre, Mr. Carroll attended a meeting with François and his Templar associates.[1]
In 1788, their fellow British Templar Frederick Weatherall asked for the Carrolls' assistance in hunting the attempted murderer Bernard Ruddock. This caught the Carrolls' attention, since Ruddock was a former member of the British Assassins. The following day, Élise and her handmaiden Hélène unexpectedly arrived at the Carrolls' home in Mayfair. Unaware that their arrival was unplanned, Weatherall claimed that Élise was to aid them in their hunt.[1]
The Carrolls accepted their request in exchange for Élise's cooperation in infiltrating the Kenway Mansion where the late Assassin Edward Kenway's daughter Jennifer Scott still lived 's home and retrieving a series of letters written from her half-brother Haytham Kenway, which Carroll believed would give guidance to the Order. Before leaving, Élise requested to bring Hélène with her and Carroll agreed. They told her to take the alias of the non-existent Yvonne Albertine. In truth, they had murdered both Monica and Lucio Albertine to avoid compromises.[1]
The Carrolls received information that Ruddock was staying at the Boars Head Inn on 6 April; with Weatherall, they infiltrated the place only to find Élise freeing Ruddock. Peter asked Élise to hand over Haytham Kenway's letters. Élise obliged, and told them of Haytham's goal to unite the two Orders and end their tireless feud, which Peter found stupid and naïve.[1] Not bothering to read the letters and oblivious to the fact that they instead were from Élise's lover Arno Dorian, May tossed them into the fire as Carroll explained that those ideals were impossible. He then ordered his daughter to kill Élise as her first blood, but it was May who was killed. In shock, Élise took her advantage and knocked Carroll off-balance while Weatherall fought off their three swordsmen.[1]
Mrs. Carroll attempted to kill them with her pistol but only managed to maim Weatherall's leg as they attempted to escape. Unfortunately, the pistol exploded and wounded her hand. Enraged with May's death, the Carrolls chased the pair to the Dover beach, but failed. In July 1789, Mr. Carroll placed a bounty on Élise, Weatherall, and Hélène. He also hired Hook and Harvey to eliminate them, but the pair failed in their attempt.[1]
Legacy
In 2015, his name was on a list of known British Templars used by the Templar Isabelle Ardant.[2]
Personality and traits
Peter Carroll was proud and vain, treating other peoples' lives with little respect. He also put little trust in people, doubting them and making sure that they stayed loyal to the Carrolls. Similar to his wife, he always appeared to wear a bemused smile.
