- "I joined the Brotherhood for a reason: that humanity - all humanity - must be free. I may not be a fighter, but I believe in that battle. Any man who leaves a child to die, fights for nothing."
- ―Jennifer Querry scolding Tom Stoddard, 1692.[src]
Jennifer Querry (unknown – 1692) was a 17th century British Assassin active during the Salem witch trials. She had one son, David, and was a nurse before joining the Brotherhood.[1]
Biography
In 1692, Querry was tasked with scouting Salem and gathering information about a potential Piece of Eden as her first mission. She used her profession to infiltrate the warehouse to locate enemies and gain information from the women.[1]
After a month, she was joined by the more experienced Tom Stoddard in their investigation. Finding a prison underneath the warehouse, Querry and Stoddard freed Dorothy Osborne and a mute boy named David with the latter's promise to show them the artifact's location.[1]
However, as Stoddard was convinced that Dorothy was bluffing, he threatened the young girl as Jennifer tried to stop him and reminded him of the Creed. Dorothy suddenly fainted and her eyes turned white as she repeated Stoddard's father's last words. Querry immediately went to the young girl's side as Stoddard defended them from an oncoming wave of attackers.[1]
With the help of David, Jennifer discovered an exit. Stoddard then set the underground base aflame and the four escaped to the swamp. However, due to exhaustion, Querry and Stoddard was unable to carry David and Dorothy further. Jennifer contradicted Stoddard's idea to send the boy to Ipswich, and still forced herself to save the boy, resulting to a gunshot wound to another wave of attackers. The Templars and the men finally caught up to her and she finally chose to leave David.[2]
Unbeknownst to Jennifer, the Templars were following her. After bandaging herself, she found Stoddard and Dorothy hiding by the dock and told them that she abandoned the boy. Stoddard, thinking that she was lying, attacked the woman. However, they were suddenly assaulted by Templars and tied them up.[2]
Personality and characteristics
As a new recruit in the Assassin Brotherhood, Querry was a bit careless. However, she was a believer of the Creed and showed compassion to abused people. Jennifer was also an excellent freerunner as she was able to keep up with a senior Assassin.[1] Jennifer was not great in combat and Stoddard had to engage enemies for her.[2]
