Edmund (19th century)
Edmund (died 1805) was a former marine and deserter who was active in Tripoli during the early 19th century. He was also an old friend of Napoleon's agent Jan van der Graff.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1805, Edmund and his associate Ahkbar met in the shady Octopus' Beak tavern with van der Graff and Solomon Bolden to give them intel about the secret entrances to Sultan Selim III's palace. Before he left, Edmund reminded van der Graff of their agreement; if the Flemish was to find "the diamond", he would give a share of the profits to Edmund to allow him to finally return home.[1]
However, as he exited the Octopus' Beak, Edmund ran into a patrol of soldiers, who recognized him as a deserter and shot him in the head when he tried to flee.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The facial features of Edmund, a character in Assassin's Creed: Templars, are based on the features of actor Eddie Marsan. [citation needed]
