1869 - 1880 Victoria, Australia

The bushranger, Ned Kelly would definitely be an assassin or assassin ally. he fought injustice, and the corruption of the law enforcement. 1869, he's 14, he had a bushranger mentor by the name Harry Power. Also 1869, he defended his sister from an attacker who later falsely accused Ned of robbing him. The Victorian police, specifically Sergeant James Whelan, had it in for the Kelly family ever since arresting Ned's father John "Red" Kelly for stealing cattle and not being able to afford to pay the fine.1870 March - April Ned and mentor Harry robbed many people. The press named Kelly as the culprit and he was arrested and imprisoned on three charges of robbery. The police however failed to gather adequate evidence, as they were predjudiced against him anyway. After 3 weeks a lack and evidence Kelly was sent home (police harrassment, abuse of power – possibly Templar influence).

His mentor, Harry had been arrested on land owned by Kelly's maternal grandfather, James Quinn. Kelly was accused of informing the authorities of his whereabouts and was treated with hostility by the community. The informant was in fact Kelly's uncle, Jack Lloyd, who received £500 for his assistance (possible Templar bribery).

The Fitzpatrick incident was what we was most well known for. Drunk corrupt cop with no warrant shows up to take Dan (Ned's brother) away, makes a pass at Kate (Ned's sister), threatens his mother. The situation escalates, the cop is killed. Classic example of police harrassment and abuse of power.
