"Did you know that your father was one of us? A bona fide Assassin, I mean. It's a tale as old as time. We leave behind those we love because it's the only way to keep them safe."

―Nathan Zhang to Noa Kim on his father, c. 2023.

The father of Noa Kim was a member of the Assassin Brotherhood and the Zhang Wei Union in the early 21st century.

Biography

At some point, he moved from the United States to Korea, where he lived for some time alongside his Korean wife and their young son, Noa. However, when the Templars initiated their Assassin purge in December 2000, Noa's father, like many Assassins, was forced to abandon his family for their own safety and go on the run. Noa was not made aware of the true reason for his father's sudden disappearance, which led him to resent him for most of his teenage years and early adulthood.

In 2023, Noa was kidnapped by Abstergo Industries, who sought to use his genetic memories to further their own goals. When the Zhang Wei Union learned of Noa's abduction, the Assassin Nathan Zhang and his criminal organization, Doom Eagle, were sent to rescue him in Cebu. However, seeing Nathan as nothing more than a criminal, Noa refused to leave with him, forcing Nathan to fight him. During their fight, Nathan informed Noa of the truth about his father's Assassin affiliations and the reason for his disappearance, though Noa was hesitant to believe him and ultimately chose to remain with Abstergo.

Later, Noa decided to ask the Templar doctor Shimazu Sei whether what Nathan had said about his father was true. Sei claimed that Abstergo had no prior knowledge of Noa's father prior to kidnapping him, and that given the large scale of the Templars' purge against the Assassins, it was impossible to determine whether his father had been among the casualties.
