Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands are a British overseas territory located in the western Caribbean Sea. The territory comprises three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman located south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica. There is also a small island called Cayman Sound in the western bay of Grand Cayman.
The West Indies Brotherhood had an Assassin bureau in the Cayman Islands called the "ghost" bureau, which had virtually no physical footprint to speak of. The bureau's leader was the Taíno Assassin Opía Apito.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
During his quest to collect the Templar keys in the early 18th century, the pirate Edward Kenway visited Cayman Sound to warn Opía Apito about the Templar agent pursuing her. Following a hunting contest, the two agreed to help one another.[2]
As they arrived at a small fishing village on the eastern coast of Grand Cayman, they learned that the Templar Lucia Márquez used the home of her right-hand man Vargas as a headquarters. Tasked with eliminating Opía, who led the Cayman Islands' Assassin bureau, Lucia sent out several ships to scout the area,[3] but was soon tracked down herself. She subsequently fled the settlement, but Vargas, who had stayed behind, was located by Opía and Edward shortly thereafter, allowing them to determine Lucia's destination.[4]
During his later travels in the Cayman Islands, Edward accepted two assassination contracts via pigeon coop in Grand Cayman. One of them was eliminating the Thomson brothers, twin Templar smugglers operating in the Caribbean;[5] another was killing a smuggler chief who had crossed the line by selling his stolen goods to the Templars and murdering innocents in the process.[6] Another time, Edward accepted an assassination contract from New Bone, tracking down a man who had killed many innocent civilians on Cayman Sound and making him pay for his actions.[7]
