Biography
Roaming the seas
On September 10, 2012, Gavin was contacted by an Assassin operative who called him from a public phone in Brisbane, Australia. The caller told Gavin that it had been three days since he had last heard from his team, and that they had failed to report again. As Gavin was giving instructions to the caller to quickly pull out of the area, the telephone signal was interrupted. At some later point, Gavin himself confirmed that the whole team in Brisbane had been eliminated.
Two days later, on September 12, Gavin received a call from an operative named Janice, who was a part of an Assassin team in Whistler, Canada. During their conversation, Janice demanded that Gavin send additional manpower as she had only two operatives with her. He replied that he would see what he could do, but this proved to be a moot point when, at that moment, Templars led by Daniel Cross attacked the Whistler team.
Weeks later, on October 5, Gavin called William Miles via cellular phone. He updated William about the status of the Assassin teams in Brisbane, Osaka and Moscow. In turn, William, who was in Italy, briefly informed Gavin of the favorable progress the Assassins were seeing at his end.
Travelling in America
On October 24, Gavin recieved a coded message from Adriano Maestranzi to head to New York and that William should be making contact with them soon. Two days later, Gavin met with William's team at an airport in Syracuse, New York, providing them with fake documents, allowing them safe passage into New York.
Gavin then began travelling around the United States, attempting to draw the Templars attention away from William's team. On November 2, Gavin sent William a text from Stillwater, Oklahoma, informing him that the Templars had no clue where they were. The next day, he sent another text to William from New Orleans, updating William on the status of the Assassin team in Florence, which had lost a member.
Trivia
