Biography
In 2023, the Zhawang Corporation learned about Noa Kim, a Korean-American college student and descendant of the Zhang Wei Union's founder, Edward Kenway. Regarding Noa as a member of their "family", Claire and Nathan sought to rescue him following his abduction by Abstergo Industries.[1]
Working together, the two organized an ambush during Noa's trip with the Templar Shimazu Sei to the A-Ma Cultural Village in Macau. While members of Doom Eagle attacked Sei and her guards as a distraction, two of Claire's operatives attempted to convince Noa to leave with them. However, the rescue operation failed as Noa refused to leave with the agents and defeated Nathan's thugs to protect Sei.[1]
Claire's operatives continued to keep watch on Noa and eventually found that he was being held aboard the Exitus research vessel. When the Exitus left the Macau harbor, one of the agents contacted Claire to update her on the situation. Claire suspected the Templars' destination to be either Manila or Cebu and tasked her men to monitor the ship's course without being detected.[2]
Just then, Nathan snatched away the operative's phone in order to talk to Claire. Claiming that his organization had a foothold in the Philippines, Nathan asked to take over the operation to rescue Noa. Claire reluctantly conceded and asked Nathan to avoid "blowing it out of proportion", only for the latter to remark that, since their failed attack in the A-Ma Cultural Village, Abstergo had likely increased their security. An annoyed Claire then asked Nathan to still try and get the job done quietly, to which he laughed and said it would be easier said than done.[2]
