Biography
Early Life
Thomas Kavanagh was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1652, to middle-class parents. From an early age, Thom was distinguished from other children, in both appearance and behavior - by his account, he was often the subject of much wonder and speculation to both his parents and other adults he came in contact with.
Thom was also afflicted with strange visions of "shining beings" from another time, visions that would never subside throughout his entire life. The most common of these apparitions involved a woman he called "his beloved" and two others, who all spoke of ways to avert a coming crisis.
He was at one point apprenticed to a Master Carpenter by the name of John Davenport, a slave owner, who would later provide good reference for Thom during his travels in the Caribbean. Davenport's estate where Kavanagh worked would eventually become the headquarters for the Colonial Assassins, and one of Davenport's slaves would eventually take on the name Achilles Davenport, and become the Mentor of the Colonial Brotherhood.
He discovered his hertiage as a Sage when he was rescued from Templars in Kingston, and taken to Tulum. He found the Observatory a few months later in Long Bay, Jamaica, and spent the rest of his life there living with the compound's Guardians. He died late in 1706 and was buried a short distance away.
He wrote messages detailing parts of his life and sent them via bottles to the sea. Between 1715 and 1722, those messages were eventually recovered by Edward Kenway. The last of these bottles was placed over his grave near the Observatory after his death.
