Biography
Originally hailing from Virginia, Wilkinson spend his early years working as a surveyor and hunter on the frontier, before he moved to Boston after a falling out with his family, who had joined the British Army.
Having heard the rumors about Connor's battle against the British oppression, Wilkinson requested his help in finding the man responsible for organizing the forceful recruitment of young men to the British Army in southern Boston.
Connor's efforts allowed Wilkinson to discover the man's identity, and he told Connor 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, and following the aftermath, Connor concluded that the man was a member of the Templars, upon which Wilkinson agreed to join the Assassins' cause against the organization.
