Master Sun was a Chinese businessman who served as the head of the Hualien Trading Company under the Qing Empire. Based in Portuguese Macau during the 1720s, he was a rival of the trading company led by Madam Lee alongside Jan van Aert of the Dutch East India Company and Alan Jacob of the Far East Company. All three ultimately allied with the Templars in order to sabotage Lee's business and benefit their own.

Biography

In February 1725, under the Templars' influence, Sun collaborated with Alan Jacob, a representative of the Far East Company, and Jan van Aert, the Chief Navigator for the Dutch East India Company, to sabotage the rival trading company led by Madam Lee and benefit their own respective businesses in the process. To this end, they hired Shimazu clan ninja led by the Templar Shimazu Saito to eliminate Lee at her own residence, the Mandarin's House.

After the ninja failed to kill Lee, Alan called an emergency meeting with Sun and Jun at St. Dominic's Church in order to discuss their next course of action. During the meeting, Sun expressed his belief that the failed attack nonetheless served as a clear warning to Lee that if she did not stop indulging her avarice, she would pay for it with her life. Unbeknowst to them, the Assassin Edward Kenway was watching the meeting from above after following Alan there and tried to figure out which of the three men was a Templar.
