- "And I don't think I've ever been so frightened as I was in that instant. It wasn't a fear that he was going to cause me pain, it was a sense that he saw right through me - into my heart - and he'd crush it if it pleased him."

Duncan Little (1730 – unknown) was an Irish member of the Colonial Assassins who lived in the Northern District of the colony of Boston during the American Revolutionary War. Here, he was recruited by the Assassin Connor.
Recruiting Little allowed Connor to use his Assassin recruits as bodyguards.
Biography
Duncan originally hailed from Ireland, and was the youngest son of a particularly large family. This was jokingly commented upon by Shaun Hastings in 2012 as, "confusing", in regard to his surname.
Later, Duncan entered into priesthood at a young age, and was sent to Africa as a missionary in 1756. Little spent several years there, but in 1760, he returned to Ireland and subsequently abandoned the priesthood entirely. However, the true reasons as to what motivated him to abscond the Church were unknown, since in 2012, Shaun was unable to access his records due to the Vatican having locked down their records entirely.
Following this, Duncan spent some time as a passenger on a ship to Boston in 1763. From his letters, it seemed as if his family had more or less drove him away, due to his abandonment of the Catholic Church. Little then settled in Boston's northern section, where he gained a reputation as a good mediator; fair and less expensive than going before the local judiciary.
Due to this, when he wasn't spending time at the local drinking house, he was assisting people with solving their problems, generally by talking them down from a fight.
Trivia
- Duncan confides to Connor that as a young child, he witnessed Haytham Kenway murder his uncle Miko in a balcony while attending a performance of The Beggar's Opera at the Theatre Royal in 1754.
- Since his database entry mentioned that he was born in 1730, Duncan would have been around 24 during the events in the theater, while the child present was significantly younger. However, the Animus database has been known to include incorrect birth years.
