Duncan Little (1730 - unknown) was an Irish member of the American Assassins who lived in the northern district of the colony of Boston during the American Revolutionary War. Here, he was recruited by the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton.
On recruiting Little, it allowed Ratonhnaké:ton to use his Assassin recruits to begin a riot in the streets, in order to provide a distraction.
Biography
Duncan Little was originally from Ireland, and was the youngest son of a particularly large family. This was jokingly commented upon by Shaun Hastings in 2012 as "confusing", since his family's name was Little.
When Duncan was young, he attended an opera in London with his uncle. As he was returning to his seat, he encountered Haytham Kenway, who had just assassinated his uncle.
Later, Duncan entered the priesthood at a young age, and was sent to Africa as a missionary in 1756.
Little spent several years in Africa, but in 1760 he returned to Ireland, leaving the priesthood entirely. The reasons to why he left the Church are unknown, as the Vatican had locked down their records entirely.
Duncan then spent a time as a passenger on a ship to Boston in 1763. From his letters, it seems as if his family more or less drove him away, due to his split with the Catholic Church. Little settled in Boston's North End, where he gained a reputation as a good mediator – fair and less expensive than going before the local judiciary. When he wasn't spending time at the local pub, he was helping people to solve their problems – generally by talking them down from a fight.
