Ah Tabai (1660s – unknown) was the Mayan Mentor of the Caribbean Brotherhood of Assassins during the early 18th century. Two of his noteworthy students included Mary Read and Adéwalé, both pirates operating in the Caribbean.
In 1717, Read brought the pirate Edward Kenway, who had killed the traitorous Assassin Duncan Walpole and stole his robes, to Brotherhood base on Tulum. Tabai confronted the pirate for killing the Assassins sent after the Sage Bartholomew Roberts in Havana, as well as fulfilling Walpole's betrayal by handing the Templars the maps of Assassin bases. However, he did note that Kenway had met the Sage and asked if he would recognize him. Read then took Kenway into a temple to test him and see if a bust of the Sage resembled Roberts.
When the two returned, the compound was already seized by British soldiers. After Kenway worked to free both Assassins and his own crew, Tabai took note of both his noble and arrogant traits and stated that he had not earned the right to wear Assassin robes. Kenway smugly reminded him of the "Everything is permitted" part of the Creed. Tabai declares Kenway absolved of his actions in Havana, though he will not be welcomed in Tulum.
