Nicholas Biddle (1750 – 1778) was a member of Templar Order and one of the first captains of Continental Navy during the American Revolution. While he appeared to support the Continental cause, his true plan was to patrol the Eastern Seaboard of North America for Templar benefit.
Eventually, Biddle came across the Assassin Connor, where the two clashed during the Battle off Barbados in 1778, with the Aquila and its crew boarding the Randolph. During this duel, Connor held the offense until the floorboards of the ship collapsed from underneath them.
On recovering from the distraction in the cargo bay, Connor located and continued to strike at Biddle until he was defeated. Following this, on hearing Biddle's dying wish, Connor set fire to the Randolph's gunpowder reservoir, destroying the vessel to the dismay of the Assassin's first mate, Robert Faulkner, who wanted to take the Randolph as a prize.
