Biography
Born to a Scottish sharecropper turned landowner and a freed-woman on the Massachusetts frontier, Jock was taught from early age by both his parents and the nearby Kanien'kehá:ka peoples.[1]
He grew up to be a peerless frontiersman, with great expertise in the wilderness. Though he faced some discrimination from other colonists due to his ethnicity, he was able to make a living hunting, fishing, and working as a guide and trapper. He lived for a time with his Mohawk friends, and was recognized by them as an exceptional hunter and tracker.[1]
Seeing the atrocities perpetrated against the native peoples and the excesses of the English and French colonial powers, Jock was easily pulled into the Colonial Brotherhood. With his strong sense of justice and kind heart, he took to the work of the Assassins conscientiously, with a special resentment against the Templars whom he viewed as the source of all injustices.[1]
