Julian
Julian (unknown – January 1713) was an associate of Tom Cobleigh and a Templar affiliate during the early 18th century.
Biography
Julian and the Cobleigh's held a deep-rooted rivalry with Edward Kenway, a young Welshman. In the summer of 1711, Julian, Tom, and Seth Cobleigh had a fight outside the Auld Shillelagh tavern with Edward, who was trying to defend a drunken woman called Rose from being abused sexually by Tom. Despite quickly gaining the upper hand, the trio were stopped by Rose's employer, Caroline Scott.
The rivalry between the Cobleigh's and Edward reached a head when Julian and Tom became involved in a plot to kill or otherwise remove Edward from the area. In January 1713, Julian, Tom, the Templar Wilson and a number of others burned down the Kenway farmstead. Edward tried to stop them, but the group pinned him to the ground, and subsequently left.
Infuriated, Edward returned to the Auld Shillelagh, searching for the group and taking a sword from the wall. Once Julian, Tom and Seth stepped into the tavern, Edward ran Julian through with the sword, killing him within seconds.
