Abraham

From the Assassin's Creed Wiki

Abraham (died 15 July 1863) was an Afro-American servant who, along with his daughter Eliza, was employed by William M. Tweed during the American Civil War. While a slave living on a plantation, his first wife was killed by an earless slave coming from another plantation. Abraham killed the murderer with his own hands before fleeing for the North. This traumatic event made Abraham very protective of the daughter he later fathered with his second wife.

Biography[edit | edit source]

In July 1863, Tweed sent Abraham to deliver a letter to Cudgel Cormac[1] and learned that the coming days were about to be very unsafe for Black people.[2] Returning home, the worried father discovered that his daughter was not there. Searching for her during the draft riots, the angry mob attacking the rich and the Afro-Americans, Abraham was eventually assaulted by a band of thugs, leaving him barely alive despite the policeman Tommy Greyling's intervention.[3] Greyling and Adelina Patti helped the old man reach Tweed's house, where Abraham was hoping to finally find his daughter. There, he died in the arms of his distraught daughter, who had also been looking for him.[4]
