| | The '''September Massacres''' were a wave of killings that occurred across [[France]], though principally in [[Paris]], during the [[French Revolution]]. |
|
| |
|
| Green was the son of [[Arbaaz Mir]], a {{Wiki|Kashmiri people|Kashmiri}} [[Master Assassin]] of the [[Indian Assassins|Indian Brotherhood]], and Princess [[Pyara Kaur]] of the [[Sikh Empire]], being through her, the grandson of the Maharaja [[Kharak Singh]] and the great-grandson of the Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]]. He was also the great-nephew, and an associate, of [[Duleep Singh]], the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire also exiled in London during the [[Victorian era]].
| | With the threat of foreign armies advancing upon them, the revolutionaries grew fearful that Paris' prison population could form a dangerous counter-revolutionary force if freed. Rallied by radicalists like [[Jean-Paul Marat]], they set out to pre-emptively eliminate any prisoner that showed even the slighest evidence of being against the revolution; ultimately, over a thousand people lost their lives in the massacres. |
|
| |
|
| In 1868, after he helped to kill [[Crawford Starrick]], the [[British Rite of the Templar Order|British Templar]] [[Grand Master]] and the man who had made an attempt to assassinate [[Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]], he and the Fryes were knighted by the Queen and became members of the [[Order of the Sacred Garter]]. A few months after the death of Starrick, Green married Evie, and they both settled in India for at least twenty years.
| | ==Background== |
| | Following the storming of the [[Tuileries Palace]] on the [[10 August|10th of August]] and King [[Louis XVI of France|Louis XVI]]'s arrest and imprisonment, France found itself in a state of uncertainty. |
|
| |
|
| ==Biography==
| | Adding to France's problems was the threat of invasion by foreign armies, who sought to put an end to the revolution and restore the monarchy. |
| ===Early years===
| |
| Jayadeep Mir was born within the borders of the Sikh Empire on 7 December 1843, to the Indian Assassin Arbaaz Mir and Princess Pyara Kaur, the daughter of Maharaja Kharak Singh.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

| |
|
| The young boy spent his childhood idolizing his father and his stories and was told that greatness lay ahead of him. Due to his charisma, he was able to twist his family and household to his will.<ref name="Underworld">''[[Assassin's Creed: Underworld]]''</ref> | | From 2 to 7 September 1792, the [[Jacobins]] took part in a series of murders of prisoners and priests, killing nearly 1500 people. The guard captain [[Frédéric Rouille]] led a group of guardsmen to the [[Grand Châtelet]] and began to massacre its [[guards]] and prisoners, but he was assassinated on the top of the prison by [[Arno Dorian]], who was informed of Rouille's location by his superior, [[Napoleon Bonaparte]]. |
| | ==Prison massacres== |
|
| |
|
| In 1847, Jayadeep began training under his father to join the Assassins, and was discovered to have extraordinary, almost supernatural potential. In order not to hinder the training of such a talented Assassin with a parental bond, Arbaaz called upon his friend, [[Ethan Frye]], to tutor his son.<ref name="Underworld"/>
| | ==Aftermath== |
| | |
| Ethan taught him swordsmanship and theories, putting the teachings into practice in the streets of the city. Though confused at first on his tutor's harsh manner and rough tone, the two eventually developed a mentor-pupil bond.<ref name="Underworld"/>
| |
| | |
| One day, Ethan ordered Jayadeep to return with information using covert means as a stealth exercise. The boy indeed returned to Ethan with gossip about his mentor, and learned that Ethan's wife had died in giving childbirth. His mentor confessed and in his own way, admitted that his friendship with the boy had awakened a parental instinct.<ref name="Underworld" />
| |
| | |
| However, as he let Jayadeep train using steel kukris, he discovered a serious problem with Jayadeep. As he was leaving for Britain in 1853, Ethan declared to a furious Arbaaz, that if indeed Jayadeep had tremendous Assassin skills, he would never be a true warrior because he lacked a killer instinct.<ref name="Underworld"/>
| |
| | |
| In order to let him prove his worth, the Indian Brotherhood sent Jayadeep out on a mission in 1860, which he not only failed but also put the Brotherhood in danger in the process. As a result, he was to be executed for incompetence, but thanks to Ethan who came back to India in order to save his former pupil, he was instead banished to [[United Kingdom|England]] to aid the Assassins there under the codename "the Ghost".<ref name="Underworld"/>
| |
| | |
| ===Searching for the Apple===
| |
| Arriving in London and as instructed by Ethan, he worked on the world's first underground railway, posing as Bharat Singh. Jayadeep was required to check the gravestone in [[Marylebone Church]] for Ethan's messages and warnings. Without a proper residence, he took residence in the [[Thames Tunnel]] along with other homeless beggars. Here, he befriended the street urchin [[Charlie]], the beggar [[Jake]] and saved an elderly woman [[Maggie]] from her attackers in the Marylebone Church. In addition to eliminating the criminals in the Thames Tunnel, he also served as the tunnel's guardian and personally aided his new acquaintances.<ref name="Underworld"/>
| |
| | |
| In 1862, when the body of [[Robert Waugh]] was discovered in London at the dig railway, it sparked the renewal of the hostilities between the Assassins and [[Templars]], with the undercover The Ghost playing his part in the conflict as the one who disposed the body.<ref name="Underworld"/>
| |
| | |
| ===Building a network===
| |
| {{Quote|Brother George. It is as I feared. London has fallen. Thrice I have written to you, begging your aid. Thrice you've responded - with silence. And yet I write again, so desperate my need, so few my options. I need you. London needs you.|Henry Green writing to George Westhouse, 1868.|Assassin's Creed: Syndicate}}
| |
| Some years later, on the advice of his mother, Jayadeep later opened a curiosity-shop and took the alias "Henry Green", after a name he heard repeatedly following his arrival in the county, and the color of the hat he was wearing at the time.<ref name="Underworld"/>
| |
| | |
| By 1868, the [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]] was deeply weakened, and as one of the last remaining Assassins in the city, Green became the leader of the Assassins in London. He wrote to his friend [[George Westhouse]] to petition the [[Assassin Council]] of [[Crawley]] for aid.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| ===Meeting the Frye twins===
| |
| {{Quote|Two Assassins. Equal in height. One female, one male. Two decades old, and those devilish smiles. You must be the Frye twins.|Henry Green, upon meeting the Frye twins, 1868.|Assassin's Creed: Syndicate}}
| |
| [[File:ACS Somewhere That's Green 6.png|thumb|250px|left|Henry meeting the Frye twins]]
| |
| One day, Green encountered the Frye twins, who hailed from Crawley, and assumed that the Council had sent them. He then brought them up to speed on Grand Master Crawford Starrick's dominion over the city. The Frye twins then began to disagree on a course of action; Jacob wanted to form a gang called the [[Rooks]] to cripple Starrick's control, while Evie wanted to find the [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] in his possession.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| Subsequently, the three Assassins bumped into [[Charles Dickens]]. While Jacob was easily dismissive of the author, Green advised the young Assassin to consider keeping a network of contacts, as Dickens knew every influential figure in the city. Unfortunately, a pair of [[Blighters]] attempted to follow them, forcing Green to split off from the Fryes, instructing them to keep the Blighters away from his shop, handing them a pair of pistols.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| When the Frye twins later arrived at his shop, Green showed them sketches of his allies, Sergeant [[Frederick Abberline]] and [[Clara O'Dea]]. He also provided information on [[Rexford Kaylock]], a Templar desiring to acquire Green's research on the [[Isu|First Civilization]].<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| As the newly formed Rooks began to stir up resistance against Kaylock's power base in [[Whitechapel]], Green informed the twins that Kaylock's gang wanted a street fight to settle the dispute, and provided them with kukris. Following Kaylock's assassination, the Assassins commandeered his train as a mobile headquarters. Noticing that Jacob was obsessed with Kaylock's grappling gun, which was damaged in the fight, Green introduced the twins to his friend [[Alexander Graham Bell]], who modified it for their gauntlets.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| ===Searching for the Shroud===
| |
| Upon meeting back at the train, Green showed the twins the hierarchy of Starrick's inner circle, most whose identities were unknown. While Jacob focused on the Templars, Green assisted Evie in her search for the Piece of Eden. Evie and Jacob had recovered an Assassin [[Edward Kenway's journal|journal]] from [[Lucy Thorne]] and Evie used her [[Eagle Vision]] to find a hidden image of a jackdaw. The trail led to [[Edward Kenway]]'s [[Kenway Mansion|mansion]], where Thorne and her henchmen were tearing the place apart. Green and Evie infiltrated the mansion and made their way into piano room, where they found a secret room underneath, where they found a hidden key. However, Thorne had found the secret passageway, forcing Green to seal it. He and Evie then escaped via secret passage.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| After Evie lost to the key to the [[Shroud of Eden 2|Shroud]]'s [[Buckingham Palace vault|vault]] to Thorne, she and Green looked through their research and determined that the probable location of the Shroud was the [[Tower of London]]. Green advised her to seek out his ally in the fortress guard for assistance. Though Evie discovered that the Shroud was not in the Tower, she was able to assassinate Thorne.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| After determining that the vault may be under [[Buckingham Palace]], Green and Evie went to meet his great-uncle, Maharajah Duleep Singh, who informed them that the blueprints for the palace had been confiscated by the Templars. In the Assassins' attempt to get it back, Green was captured by the Templars and taken to the sewers beneath a church in the Strand. He was rescued by Evie, who chose to forgo recovering the plans. After escaping the Templars, Evie advised Green to see [[Florence Nightingale]] to attend to his head injury and return to the train while she would go see Singh again. Green reminded her that she couldn't enter Buckingham Palace alone, and she promised that wouldn't happen.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| Green later returned to the train and intervened in an argument between the Frye twins, informing them that his spies had learned that Starrick was planning on infiltrating the palace to get the Shroud and then kill all the heads of state and the Church. This prompted the Fryes to agree to work together one last time.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| Green later infiltrated the vault, where Starrick had obtained the Shroud and had the Frye twins at his mercy. He threw a [[Throwing knives|knife]] at the Grand Master's back to release the Fryes, but was knocked unconscious when he charged at Starrick head-on. However, his intervention allowed the Fryes to relieve Starrick of the Shroud and successfully kill him. When Green regained consciousness, Evie assured him that he saved the mission instead of jeopardizing it, and she expressed her acceptance of their working in the field together, prompting the pair to share a kiss. The Assassins then returned the Shroud back to its casing.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| The Assassins later met with Queen Victoria, who was informed by Abberline of their deeds and promptly knighted them into the Order of the Sacred Garter. After the Queen departed their presence, Green watched Jacob and Evie make amends before they excitedly raced each other back to the train.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| Over the year, Green and Evie had developed romantic feelings for each other and they became a couple following the death of Starrick. Green eventually proposed to Evie and the pair later relocated to India where Green was accepted back into the Indian Brotherhood.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| ==Personality and characteristics==
| |
| A scholar, Green had developed an extensive knowledge about London's society and inner workings. He was also good at making connections and gaining the trust of peoples, his network throughout London became very useful when he helped the Frye twins in their quest to bring down the Templar control over London in 1868.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| While both sincere and hard-working, Green had a human side to him that many other Assassins lacked. Despite his exile, Green never lost hope of returning to India someday, after having proved to be a capable field agent.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| ===Equipment and skills===
| |
| Although he was raised as an Assassin since his birth and displayed incredible almost supernatural skill as an Assassin, Henry was more inclined towards books than he was to violence and proven to be a mediocre fighter as he was not permitted a [[Hidden Blade]] until his mother gave him a confiscated blade.<ref name="Underworld"/> In 1868, he was captured by a group of thugs working for the Templars and it was Evie Frye who had to save him. In his battle with Starrick, Henry managed to hit the Grand Master in the shoulder with a throwing knife.<ref name="ACS"/>
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *''Jayadeep'' is a Sikh name meaning ''Light of Victory'', while ''{{Wiki|Mir clan|Mir}}'' is a {{Wiki|Kashmiris|Kashmiri}} clan or tribe between present day India and Pakistan. ''{{Wiki|Mir (title)|Mir}}'' is also a loanword from the {{Wiki|Arabic language|Arabic}} ''emir, amir'', and thus has the meaning of "leader, commander, prince" in aforementioned places.
