Achilles Davenport
- "In your haste to save the world, take care you don't destroy it."
- ―Achilles to Connor.[src]
Achilles Davenport (1710 - 1781) was a Master Assassin and a Mentor for a span of time during the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War.
Recruited in the mid 1730s, Achilles became the Mentor of the Colonial Brotherhood in 1746, as he had a gift for both recruitment and organization.[1] In 1763, he was tried by the Templar leaders after the branch was decimated to all but him during the aftermath of the French and Indian War. He was allowed to live if he resigned his role as an Assassin and moved into the wilderness.[2]
In 1770, he reluctantly recruited Ratonhnhaké:ton into the Assassin Order, and acted as his mentor thereafter. He provided Ratonhnhaké:ton with advice, and cautioned the younger Assassin whenever his ambition led him astray. By 1770, Achilles resided at the Davenport Homestead.[1]
At an unknown point in time, Achilles eventually died and was buried next to his wife and son.
Trivia
