Biography
Originally hailing from Virginia, Wilkinson spend his early years working as a surveyor and hunter on the frontier, before he moved to Boston.
Having heard the rumors about Ratonhnhaké:ton's battle against the British oppression, Wilkinson requested his help in finding the man responsible for organizing the forcible recruiting of the young men to the British army in southern Boston.
Ratonhnhaké:ton's efforts allowed Wilkinson to discover the man's identity, and he told Ratonhnhaké:ton to join him at a meeting where the man would come out in public to address the unwilling recruits. The two then worked together in assassinating the man. In the aftermath, Ratonhnhaké:ton could conclude that the man was a member of the Templars, upon which Wilkinson agreed to join the Assassins' cause against the organization.
On recruiting Wilkinson, it allowed Ratonhnhaké:ton to use his Assassin recruits to pick off a target from a distance at any given time.
