Freemasons
The Freemasons were a fraternal organization formed in the late 16th or early 17th century who were responsible for transporting an Apple of Eden to the New World, carrying it across the sea.[1]
The Freemasons moved around in tunnels beneath Boston and New York City. In the tunnels, there where un-uniformed Freemason guards that would attack Connor on site, regardless of his notoriety. To unlock tunnel exits exits, Connor analyzed Freemason documents to find clues to the arrangement of symbols formed by their magic lanterns.
During the American Revolution, some of the most prominent leaders of the revolutionary forces and the Continental Army were Freemasons.[2]
Trivia
