Brooklyn

Brooklyn is one of New York City's five boroughs, located in the state of New York, United States. It is the city's most populous borough.

History

On 27 August 1776, George Washington faced the British General William Howe's forces at Brooklyn Heights and commanded the Continental Army in his first battle of the American Revolutionary War. Mass desertion plagued Washington's forces and led to his defeat and retreat which the Colonial Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton covered by sending apprentices to aid him.

In the early 19th century, Tommy Greyling was born in the borough after his grandparents immigrated to the United States from Germany; he informed the Italian singer Adelina Patti of this fact in July 1863 after rescuing her from local ruffians.

In 1908, a memorial for the prisoners killed aboard the HMS Jersey in the late 1770s was erected in Brooklyn, 100 years after the bodies had been exhumed from the sunken wreck and buried in a local cemetery.

In 2003, the runaway Assassin Desmond Miles visited the Brooklyn bar Bad Weather in the hopes of gaining employment. Successful, he remained its bartender for 9 years until 1 September 2012, when the Master Templar Daniel Cross led Abstergo Industries agents in kidnapping him for use in their Animus Project. That day, security camera footage from Floyd Bennett Field caught Abstergo agents prepping Desmond for transfer in the early hours of the morning. The Initiates later collected this information and posted it to their secure private network.
