The Zhawang Corporation, also known as the ZW Corporation or the ZW Company,[1] is an organization based in Southeast Asia that is part of the Zhang Wei Union. In the 2020s, Claire Zhang served as its Director.
History
In 2023, the Corporation learned about Noa Kim, a Korean-American college student and descendant of the Zhang Wei Union's founder, Edward Kenway. Regarding Noa as a member of their "family", Claire enlisted the help of her relative Nathan Zhang and his criminal organization, Doom Eagle, to try and rescue Noa following his abduction by Abstergo Industries.[1]
During Noa's trip with the Templar Shimazu Sei to the A-Ma Cultural Village in Macau, Claire dispatched two of her operatives to retrieve him while members of Doom Eagle ambushed Sei and her bodyguards as a distraction. However, the rescue operation failed as Noa refused to leave with the Corporation agents and defeated Nathan's thugs to protect Sei. The two operatives subsquently contacted their superior to inform him of the situation and he decided to respect Noa's decision to be left alone for the time being.[2]
At their superior's request, the agents continued to keep watch on Noa and eventually found that he was being held aboard the Exitus research vessel. When the Exitus left Macau, one of the operatives contacted Claire to update her on the situation, but had his phone snatched away by Nathan, who wanted to talk with Claire. Suspecting that the Exitus was heading to the Philippines, where Doom Eagle had a foothold, Nathan convinced Claire to let him and his organization handle Noa's rescue.[1]
During Doom Eagle's attempt to retrieve Noa in Cebu, the Corporation supplied them with several trucks which were used to ambush the Abstergo convoy cointaining Noa and Sei.[3] However, the rescue operation failed once again, as Noa refused to leave with Nathan and the latter was forced to escape when Abstergo's paramilitary task force, Sigma Team, arrived to secure Noa.[4]
