Boy Who Cried Wolf

Boy Who Cried Wolf was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Connor met Daniel Boone at a campsite, who informed him of an encounter with the Shawnee natives. Connor decided to investigate a nearby camp for clues.

Dialogue

• Boone: There we was, eight months in the Kentucky frontier trappin' and skinnin' elk - well along my third bale - when they came upon us. No less than a dozen Shawnee hunters had us surrounded at the point of musket and arrow. My bush partner froze up stiff. The fear chilled me the same but I managed to muster what little Shawnee I was knowin'. The leader spoke too quick but I gathered we was poachin', havin' crossed into their territory a month or so hence. Their musket barrels stared us down - the heads of their arrows smilin' sharp at our backs. I bumbled a proposition in busted Shawnee: our full piece - my three bales and my partner's two less a half - in exchange for us quittin' the Shawnee bush on our own legs. Leader nods to his boys. They load up our take and start back into the trees. The honcho stays a spell longer just starin'. Starin' right through us with his two black eyes. And then he was gone. We picked up and set back east the way we came - months of profit lost but our own hides intact. Never saw the Shawnee again but I know they was followin' us. I could feel their eyes on our backs clear to North Carolina...

Connor looked for clues at the Frontiersman camp, and found the corpse of an explorer. A wolf attacked him, but he managed to kill it.

Outcome

After investigating the site, Connor concluded that a lethal argument broke out between the frontiersmen with a wolf later killing the survivor.

Behind the scenes

This is the only Frontiersmen mission where Daniel Boone's intro does not match with what is written in the corresponding tale in the Animus Database which instead only states:

"A pair of our more ambitious Adventurers set out a few weeks back and have yet to return. Find out what befell our friends."

―Boone
