Ah Tabai (1660s – unknown) was the Mayan Mentor of the Caribbean Brotherhood of Assassins during the early 18th century. Two of his noteworthy students included Mary Read and Adéwalé, both pirates operating in the Caribbean.
In 1717, Read brought the pirate Edward Kenway, who had killed the traitorous Assassin Duncan Walpole and stole his robes, to the Brotherhood base on Tulum. Tabai confronted the pirate for killing the Assassins sent after the Sage Bartholomew Roberts in Havana, as well as fulfilling Walpole's betrayal by handing the Templars the maps of Assassin bases. However, Read noted that Kenway had "the Sense", and had met the Sage, for which Tabai asked if Kenway would recognize him. Read then took Kenway into a temple to test him and see if a bust of the Sage resembled Roberts.
When the two returned, the compound was already seized by British soldiers. After Kenway worked to free both Assassins and his own crew, Tabai took note of both his noble and arrogant traits and stated that he had not earned the right to wear Assassin robes. Kenway smugly reminded him of the "Everything is permitted" part of the Creed. Tabai declared Kenway absolved of his actions in Havana, though he would not be welcome in Tulum.
