Desmond has traveled the ages visiting his ancestors in his time with the Animus he has been to the time of the Crusades without her he has seen Renaissance Italy with Ezio and now here in the temple as his friends and father place his unconscious body under the Rapture of the beating effect into Rebecca's newly updated animus he is to experience the life of this man his name is Connor this is a story about family about loss hatred Revenge Duty struggle and sacrifice but perhaps mostly for Connor it's about belonging but we're not ready for his story yet to find the key to the inner chamber Desmond needs to go back a little further across the Atlantic to London it's 1754. invitation please [Music] who is this man he finds his Target like an assassin he scales the walls of the Opera House like one and he Bears his hidden blade in a way Desmond has seen so many times this assassin is here for something just like Desmond here for the key this is what they need this man is Haytham Kenway and he returns his prize to his fellow assassins and his master Reginald Birch Bay two searched for the temple fascinated by the knowledge of this Lost Civilization I hold in my hand a key and if this book is to be believed it will open the doors of a storehouse built by those who came before whatever Waits behind those doors shall prove a great Boon to us all or our enemies should they find it first they don't know what Desmond knows but they were on the trail a trail that became lost why they know the temple lies on the east coast of America and that is why we've called you here Master Kenway we'd like for you to travel to America locate the storehouse and take possession of its contents upon this paper are the names of five men sympathetic to our cause we've booked you passage to Boston your ship leaves at door go forth Haytham and bring honor to us all on the cusp of his 30th year Haytham Kenway arrives in Boston on his Brotherhood search for the grand Temple Boston in the middle of the 18th century at the very start of the Seven Years War America colonized by over 2 million britons and far less French the French compete in the war between them by rallying Native Americans to their cause in Boston in 1754 Haytham arrives to a city controlled by British Redcoats there is relative peace trade exists in the port but with a war Brewing poverty and discontent is on the rise foreign has a job to do and a list of names in which to help him one of those names is waiting at the Port Charles Lisa a pleasure to make your acquaintance Charles has been given leave from the British army to help Haytham set up his team an order sent over from London the Brotherhood there has reach I had hoped that I might study under you if I am to serve the order I can imagine no better Mentor than yourself Charles is not part of their order yet but admires and aligns with what they stand for he is Keen to impress hathan oh no need sir I've arranged for your bags to be delivered to the end that Inn is the Green Dragon Tavern and it will be the headquarters for all the work hatham and his team will undertake in the coming years with the help of Charles Lee they begin to gather those names William Johnson a man with great knowledge of the surrounding lands and Native people living within it Thomas Hickey a strong pair of hands with his ear to the ground of the criminal underworld Benjamin Church he's a finder and a fixer and a doctor with a broad knowledge of the city and finally John pitcan he will prove difficult to recruit he currently serves the British soldiers his Commander Edward Braddock Braddock and Haytham share a history they serve their orders as brothers but Edward was one of us upon a time I considered him a close friend but everything changed at the siege of Bergen op Zoom he killed killed he maintained that violence was a more efficient solution he became his Mantra and it broke my heart Braddock is the same Commander that Charles Lee serves currently released to help Haytham it's Charles Lee's connections that gets them in the barracks where Pitcairn is currently installed hey them General Braddock it's bad enough my superiors have insisted I grant her use of Charles but they said nothing about this traitor you'll not have him denied but not deterred hatham and Charles later Ambush a patrol containing pitcair they get their man through the disdain of Braddock traitor go on then join them on their Fool's errands stay in my hand today because you were once my brother or should our path ever cross again all debts will be forgotten Haytham has his team he now sets about tapping their strengths we believe there's a precursor site in the region I require your knowledge of the land and its people to find it in his business Pursuits Johnson has long had dealings with the local native tribes people and when he sees hatham's artifact he immediately makes a connection it appears Kanye and gahaga in origin can he trace it to a specific location I need to know where it came from Johnson lacks this knowledge but the canyon kahaka tribe may know more this is not information they will give freely especially to the British we'll need to earn their trust before they'll share what they know there may be a way hickey hears rumor men Moonlighting among the British are kidnapping and enslaving the native people freeing those captured while slaying The Man In Charge may go some way to earning that trust Benjamin Church knows just the man capable of such an Endeavor a British soldier named Silas Thatcher a crueler and more vicious creature I've never known their plan is simple disguise themselves gain entry under guise of ferrying newly captured Natives and shut down the operation for good but as Haytham takes his place at the Helm of the slaver's carriage his focus on the task waivers one of the captured slaves is this woman we're here to help you along with those held inside Southgate Forte not until we're inside the gate using the woman and her tries people as cover they enact their plan delivery for Silas the slaver's ring destroyed the captives liberated see I'm freeing you just as I said I would now if you allow me to explain it is clear to hathan that the trust they seek will take time who is this woman and how has such a brief encounter made him feel this way he must see her again for his order's sake as well as his own it would be months before Charles Lee finds a lead word is she's been stirring up trouble just outside the city in a town called Lexington Haytham uses his innate skills passed down through the ages to track this elusive woman I come in peace what do you want well your name [Music] just call me Zio with her name just as complex as the feelings in his heart he plainly gets to the point she recognizes the artifact immediately I've only seen such markings in one other place she is still reticent to share look I am not the enemy there is more Zeo can gain from this man than just her Freedom her Town Hall soldiers who seek to drive my people from these lands they're led by a man known as the Bulldog Edward Braddock you know him he's no friend of mine Haytham spared Braddock once through Nostalgia but his death will now pay for something far greater ridding this threat to zeo's people will earn the trust needed to learn of this sacred Place Braddock's death is the key at first we have to find him it would take time time spent together gaining Intel putting plans in place their connection grew that wasn't necessary thank you we should move on they have a plan they know where he'll be why he'll be there and when we will Ambush him here near the river go and gather your allies I will do the same it would be five months before their plan would come to fruition but with the assassins and their allies assembled it was time to sabotage Braddock's Expedition he plans to take Fort Duquesne from the French everything all right sir amongst his officers is a young ambitious George Washington just savoring the moment the French will leave or they will die but its moment would be dashed they are ambushed on Route and amongst the chaos the Assassins strike in a Redcoat disguise Haytham gets his chance your death opens a door it's nothing personal well maybe it is a little personal but we are brothers in arms once perhaps all those Innocents slaughtered and for what whether we applied the sword more liberally and more often the world would be a better place Haytham gives him the Assassin blade but takes a ring they were once Brothers but even within brotherhood's method and purpose sometimes fail to align Haytham sees this as a cleansing and strips him of his life and his place in the order zeo's trust has now been earned and she takes Haytham to the sacred site where the symbols match the amulet will this key open a door the artifact glows as do the ancient symbols on the walls but the key is not the right one no no this room is all there is I expected more what do they mean it tells the story of your system your eyes still watch over us her ears still hear our words her hands still guide us and the love still gives us strength oh yeah I should go with his heart unlocked and with the door to the answers he saw close to him he returns to his Brotherhood to regroup we need to redouble our efforts and expand our order it is time to recognize one of their own just as the recruits of times past are inducted it is time for a ceremony he has proven himself a loyal disciple and served unerringly since the day he came to us initially teased privately for being a sycophant over eager too Keen to please the Assassins have accepted him and it is vital to their success he becomes a permanent member and we welcome you into our fold brother to Desmond the ceremony had perhaps changed throughout the ages the levantine Assassins sacrificed a finger the Assassins of Italy saw fit only to Brand their loyalty give me your hand now here in Boston this fledgling Brotherhood of the Americas opted only for a ring but Desmond did not recognize the tone of the ceremony it did not chime with those he'd seen before the rhetoric was off something was not right together we will usher in the dawn of a new world one defined by purpose and order you are a Templar wait what may the father of understanding guide us Desmond's ancestry had included a Templar there were signs obvious to him now but he had not the time to feel duped by time after all they knew who had the key they must follow its Trail but to do this they must follow the DNA not only did hathan earn Zio's trust he also earned her love and in reciprocating that love they spent a stolen spell together which they knew could not last they stepped away from both of their worlds for a moment and for a short time created their own in the wilderness but unbeknownst to hatham Zeo returned to her world bearing his child the lineage had passed from father to son to follow the trail of the key Desmond must now live the memories of Raton again Desmond you need to keep going but in the grand Temple Desmond struggled with his more immediate lineage Desmond left the Assassin order he was born into at 16. he was captured by the Templars and used since escaping he has spent little time outside the service of his cause the cause for a time he felt his father imposed upon him I'm sick of being a goddamn Pawn I thought it might be different with you I mean you're my father but turns out you're no better than the Templars breath maybe I pushed a little too hard asked a little too much but try and remember exactly what's at stake here the emotional disconnection the one that turned him from his family from his cause still exists but since the moment he entered the Animus he has seen firsthand the cause of the Assassins Through the Ages the oppression of the Templars and the gravity of the impending catastrophe he does not need to have the cause imposed upon Him by anyone anymore he knows what he must do this is his cause within the Animus he must follow the key but within the temple they also have a problem they need to find more sources of power like Desmond first found in the temple in order to power the temple sufficiently to gain access to the inner Chambers they need more this task lies on Sean's shoulders I intend to tiptoe into the abstergo database now if I can cross-reference these particular devices with their database then maybe we'll get lucky the ones who came before LED them to this Temple the Specter of Juno seems to be present she appears sporadically urging the Assassins to keep going to unlock the secrets within do you think it's a recording or is she a ghost but I can't shake the feeling we're being watched I don't know why they had to make this all so complicated I mean if they need something from me they should just come out and say it throughout Desmond's Journey he's met this Triad of characters Juno Minerva Jupiter inside the sync Nexus but never collectively Minerva didn't exactly see eye to eye but maybe you'll find something down here that can shed light on the mystery what happened between Desmond doesn't need coaxing from Juno he enters the Animus a new ancestor beckons had his father's eyes he was told this he'd never met him despite being a child of Two Worlds he was loved by his tribe their Village was in the heart of the Mohawk Valley despite the importance of the valley as a route to the frontier by colonists they still kept their lands choosing not to fight with the French during the Seven Years War now over looking to stay impartial hoping to be ignored the village was near that cave those symbols they saw it as part of their culture to protect its Mysteries Madonna Gardens mother Zeo the daughter of the clan mother traded that mystery she loved Hayden once but she knew him and feared that haytham's Darkness his lust for control would rear itself in her son but at this age she just saw a playful curious child and did her best to create a safe and loving world for him on the day her child went out to the valley to play that world ended what have we here you look familiar where have I seen you before we have questions for your elders only tell us where your village is boy and you can go for Desmond this is not the quiet helpful unassuming Charles Lee he had seen Through The Eyes of Haytham this was a man with the eyes of hate he meant harm to the Mohawk people ratuna Garden would never tell you are nothing a speck of dust you and all your ill but I am not unkind let them know the sooner we are given what we see now you can return to your pathetic empty lives oh what is your name Charles Lee why do you ask so I can find you Awakening from the black we're done again rushes back to the place he feels safest he hadn't seen a white man before these people with desire and disdain in their eyes despite his outward bravery he had never been so scared in his life if he were to describe evil what he saw in the eyes of this man would be it and that evil had found his village the men didn't need his help to find it it was a blaze burning in the name of ambition and greed he had one thought his mother yeah is it hot stick s they say to raise a child takes a village and this Village rebuilt raised within a garden with love the clan mother his grandmother loved him and knew there was a plan for him nine years later he was 13. his loss was still with him but he had grown strong he climbed he hunted better than anyone his age better than his best friend Canon dorgan but he never leaves him behind go he does his best to elevate his peers the valley is still a paradise to them with all the bounties they would ever need but more and more colonists have been seen and it's only a matter of time before they settle here forcing his tribe out they gather special items for a ceremony called by the clan mother Garden has no idea what awaits him the crowd's part the clan mother knows it's time for him to understand his Destiny why they do not wander like the other tribes why they hide from the conflict brewing in their lands for they have a purpose that transcends this to protect what is sacred the clan mother presents the artifact that has been entrusted to them Through the Ages a piece of Eden its purpose is to deliver a message to one individual to show what might be and what might be changed on touching the artifact raduna gerdun is transported to the Nexus greetings Guardian Juno you who will bring to him the last piece I do not understand nor need you in the form of an eagle the Nexus takes him through the probability of Time how a malevolent group planned to seize their lands destroy their Sanctuary Juno explains his special lineage many who have changed the world who will change the world so too shall you he and his people know it only as the sanctuary they'll never know it as the temple and what it holds within it he knows only that he is chosen to save his people to protect this site for if the men with evil in their eyes enter it too soon it will mean the end must save his home and his people at all costs he must then retrieve the key what am I to do you will learn of a man who will provide additional training seek this symbol as he emerges from the Nexus he scrambles to remember this symbol it is his first breadcrumb the clan mother knows it well once upon a time her daughter his mother sought help from the same man he lies to the east it is 1769 and at 13 he will leave the Mohawk Valley for the first time and enter the frontier he feared what lay ahead but knew the fate of his people if he chose inaction he will find this man and after days of travel he does at the homestead described by the clan mother what I I was told you could train me no this is not the outcome he'd rehearsed during those miles through the frontier but there was no question of him giving up the homestead was Grand but it used to be grander it had clearly been neglected in its structure and surroundings he used its ramshackle Stables to rest and shelter persisting daily meeting the same outcome get the hell off my land he would not not even when the skills he wished to learn were used against him you stayed this course and the only thing you're gonna be is dead fear had never been a deterrent for a Dunagan the world's moved on boy best you do too he licked his wounds in the Stables you will train me you have to his chance to break through to the old man would arrive in the form of Bandits here to strip the homestead of further value with Gunner Gardens fighting skills are instinctive but Wrath the man could see this oh thank you clean this up then I suppose we should talk this is Achilles Davenport like the house he hides within he is old broken and past his best like we're doing a garden he is a man of different color to the European colonists who brought their entitlement greed and oppression to this land he once defended himself and others against this mentor of the colonial order of Assassins but both the Brotherhood and his will was broken and collapsed he did not know it but inviting redunagerden in he had invited in hope hope he thought was lost forever who are you my name is Rado hangado right well I'm not even going to try and pronounce that I was told to seek this symbol the spirit said that that I am spirits of yours have been harassing the Assassins for centuries ever since Ezio Uncorked the bottle uh but you don't even know what an assassin is do you over the course of that long evening and into the Night raduna Garden found out about the history of the Brotherhood the Templars the ones who came before and about his lineage painful truths like his father hatham the leader of the Templars will stand in the way of his ultimate mission to save his people to protect their secret he is and has the key to all of this he also remembers those eyes Charles Lee is a Templar and now an enemy in more ways than one the man responsible for his mother's death they have to die don't they all of them even my father if they succeed your spirit's Visions will become reality come on I have something to show you [Music] huh I don't think you can just come in here throw those on and call yourself an assassin I did not I would never presume before that he needs to prepare himself for everything that is to come what he sought comes to pass Achilles spends the next weeks months indeed years training him his body and his mind sculpting him into the beginnings of an assassin he's exposed to history philosophy politics and how to kill while feeding retina Garden the wisdom he needs he has also fed life into himself he sees a feature he did not care to Fathom before and with that a care to improve the house the homestead around him to make a home instead of a prison the closest city Boston has some of the supplies needed to do this raduno Garden sees the beauty Bedlam and bureaucracy of the big city of Boston for the first time he is awed by it there is so much life here so many opportunities for a few my boy he also learns its dangers and how to avert The Gaze of the Redcoats to blend in and divert and also how to get around the city fast and undetected Achilles explains the change that is starting to brew in these new lands the British spent big in their seven years war against the French their efforts to tax the colonists to pay for it are met with disdain there is talk of Revolution but will that also be for the few maybe it is this change in the air that prompts Achilles to suggest a change for adonageddon you're also going to need a new name your skin is fair enough that you might pass for one with a Spanish or Italian blood what would you call me then Achilles nose instinctively Karma yes that will be your name so Connor has a new name home a new life and a mentor his mother once worried that he may inherit some of his father's nature but our nature reacts to the movements and mentors around us Conor absorbs and adopts the Assassin philosophy with all his heart perhaps never to be wavered or broken in all his fiber he is a guardian as Juno called him he would choose to guard the freedom of all those denied it denied by men like his father the biggest lesson he was to learn that went against his nature is patience he knows he needs to spend time absorbing everything he can if he's to stand up to the skills of his father it's not until 1773 his 17th birthday that both he and achilles believe he can begin his fight if you're going to stand a chance against the Templars you're going to need these and this put them on you of your tools and training your targets and goals and now you have your title welcome to the Brotherhood comma he is now ready to take the fight to Charles Lee to the Templars to his father back in the temple Sean's hunt has borne fruit I've managed to locate a power source and it's relatively close by a short drive to Manhattan but there's a catch I think we're better off having you drop in from above what do you mean above Desmond parachutes from the adjacent building to the ostergo office below the fact is on display in a corner office did absteggo even know what they had that wasn't so bad so you must be Desmond who are you ask your father I'm not supposed to kill you but the boss man didn't say anything about you up so you've got to the cap abstergo had tracked them but Desmond has the artifact and on returning to the temple the Assassins feel Desmond Inn on this mystery Templar so who the hell is Daniel Cross believe it or not he used to be an assassin it turned out he was a sleeper agent for abstergo programmed to infiltrate and destroy the organization cross is a dangerous asset to Warren vidic and the Templars his volatility his mental state has been exacerbated by extended periods in the Animus they must be wary of him abstego know what the Assassins search for and they are tracking them they need two more power sources which Sean will track down all the while avoiding Daniel Cross and the cross he represents Desmond focuses again on the key in the four years since Conor had been at the homestead he had seen great change in both himself and the people of this land the British were losing their grip on America and something new was brewing but underneath this the Assassin's sensed strings were being pulled by the Templars for their own ends he saw this in Boston as Charles Lee's gunshot lit the touch paper of discontent outside the Boston custom house he saw the satisfaction in his father's face as lives were lost and hatreds galvanized they want Power if not through the British then they look to place themselves somewhere in this emerging regime Conor must determine where but where to start it will start with Connor on the back foot his childhood friend Karen dorgan delivers news of the British looking to force them from their lands he said that the land was being sold and that the Confederacy had consented do you have a name he is called William Johnson at this moment he resides somewhere in Boston prepare hearing for the purchase of the land Conor must defend the tribe he still feels so much a part of Achilles nose who can help draw out William Johnson Connor finds Samuel Adams a member of the Sons of Liberty Samuel Adams At Your Service Adams has discerned that William Johnson is funding the purchase of the land by smuggling and selling British tea from the ships at the Docks a stage requires a spectacle and I may know the play the play is twofold the Sons of Liberty get to send a message to England and you rob William Johnson of his financing your village will be saved on December 16th Conor leads the Sons of Liberty in raiding the ships fighting back the British and dumping the tea profit Center of both British and William Johnson into the Harbor Waters The Village has been saved for now but America will never be the same again the revolution has officially begun a threat to the villagers stand but the Templar threat is still ever present you should have killed him there was no need time will tell if you speak the truth Conor took no pleasure in killing but if it stands in the way of Liberty he would do so in a heartbeat he pledged his blade to the people liberating areas of the city from the hands of oppressors and recruiting those that would Aid in this endeavor wherever he could help he gave back power to the people so they could live in Freedom he saw a way of life away from control and greed indeed he looked to create that ideal in his new home surrounding the house the homestead boasted Bountiful land too long had it languished and tended he encouraged a community with people who did not fit in in The Wider world he invited them to stay and put their skills towards this ideal our village is growing and in need of all forms of trade just business and a new life people who just wanted to contribute Farmers Carpenters Hunters clothes makers doctors priests and publicans the homestead was its own ecosystem and thrived what resources they did not need themselves they sold the proceeds fed back into the community and into the fight below the homestead its harbor was rejuvenated and within it pride of place docked the famed assassin ship the Aquila foreign to its former glory keep by the oft inebriated Robert Faulkner she'll fetch 12 knots in a stiff Gale near a ship from here to Singapore can outrun her on her best day what do you say we take her out show you what you can do first hand as Conor does in the cities he does so on the high seas seeing to the Templar threats wherever it lies [Applause] victory for the Akita for Glory Adventure on the waves also brought mystery as he tracked Treasures in far-flung Seas a local character that frequented the harbor kept letters left by William Kidd the famed sailor and pirate who a hundred years before Connor looked to keep artifacts from the hands of the Templars Connor found the artifact he looked to protect this Shard of Eden would help Connor in his fight with the Templars a precursor device to help Shield its wearer from projectiles each time he ventured to the Horizon he always returned to the bosom of his adopted family he will always be Canyon kahaka but this is the world he hopes he can help create in the whole of America where people respect difference Embrace cooperation and love one another because of it it's while basking in the glow of his creation the Achilles is warning becomes a reality William Johnson has returned with all the money required to buy our land he meets with the elders as we speak if Conor stayed his blade once he would not do so again Achilles is right they will not stop the elders try to resist we are not here to negotiate not to sell we are here to tell you and yours to leave these lands perhaps you'll respond better to the sword Connor does not hesitate like many Templars of the past even in death their convictions remain I could have saved you all you speak of salvation but you were killing them because they would not listen and so it seems William Johnson believes the colonists will turn on the Mohawks in time but for now they remain on his body is revealed information on his next Target John pitcair John Pitcairn has risen to command that level within the British Army and his orders are to Target Patriot weapons and supplies to stem the flow of the Revolution the Templars cannot where they assume power at this moment they have placed themselves in both camps in order to have total influence but topple Pitcairn and Connor ridged the world of a Templar and tips the scales towards the resistance Conor can't do it alone he joins the Sons of Liberty in helping gather the Patriots to the cause the British are coming and stands beside them in defending the town of Concord as Pitcairn looks to take those Patriot weapons and supplies we did it the Turning tail Connor helped Aid the cause of the Patriots but failed to further his own I should have struck when I had the chance it would be weeks before he had another he meets Samuel Adams at the Continental Congress in Philadelphia the Patriots are gaining strength becoming organized the new continental army Alexa leader George Washington an ambitious individual he did not find the advancement prospects he desired within the British Army and he left for politics a decade after the French Indian War he finds himself at the spearhead in the revolution for Independence the vexation of one man that is accepted this arduous employee someone I want you to meet Charles Lee won't recognize that scared young boy in the face of Connor but Charles Lee's face is seared in Connor's memory it was Lee that killed his mother here Charles Lee has been passed over for this command a blow for the Templars what a boon it would have been to be at the very top of this emerging power an independent United States is close to a reality the Templars need to grasp the Reigns for Connor Lee must wait the grasp of the British is loosening and it's near Bunker Hill that Connor gets his chance to meet piccan he fights his way through the British to end his life like so many Templar last words that have occurred before their aim is that of Peace but method is the difference between them they would have succeeded had you let me play my part part of the Puppeteer who better we hold the strings than another no the strings should be severed all should be free and it's on his dying body that Connor discovers the next Templar plan to assassinate Washington and play Charles Lee as his obvious successor the man charged with completing the task is another name on the Assassin wall Thomas Hickey Connor heads to New York Thomas Hickey runs a counterfeiting ring in the city Connor looks to shut it down and take hickey out of action huh are you supposed to be none of your kind left suppose I must be rectifying that in game Connor is not the only one looking for the counterfeiters you are both under arrest the Patriots have shut down the ring what are the charges counterfeiting I had nothing to do with that listen there are more important things at stake here this man is planning he awakes imprisoned and with only the bars separating them he gets closer to his father than he ever has before the rescue James there can be no further mistakes Thomas am I understood what about is the Assassin deal with this Charles at once sir Haytham knows who Connor is he was unaware at the time that he had a child and he is not known for long but he knows he will not meet his eyes Lee remains they were unaware of the rise of the Assassins here on American Shores until now they capitulated long ago with Achilles you're meddling in the revolution has caused us no small measure of grief it cannot continue our work is too important a child in the force with you you know all of this might have been avoided had you only done what I asked what does he mean I think I have an idea yes two birds with one stone that idea is to frame Connor for the murder of the prison Warden and accuse him of the plot to kill George Washington while Washington looks Over The Gallows to see his plotter hang the Templars will complete their plan but as Conor approaches The Noose he sees the Assassin order he has rebuilt with Achilles come to his Aid he knows not which of them severed the Rope but he is free free to stop Thomas Hickey and end the plot go Thomas Hickey was a faithful servant to the Templars but his reason for service was not as Grand as some I asked the money they asked the power that's the reason I threw him of him that's the only reason you're just some blind fool who's always chasing butterflies whereas I'm the type of guy who likes to have a beer in one hand and a tea in the other Connor's purpose stretches further the plot scuppered for now he joins Washington in Philadelphia for a pivotal moment for their country they officially declare independence the British are all but finished the months draw on without event despite the inevitable impending Return of the Templars it is quiet Connor travels to the Continental Army's encampment at Valley Forge he can help Washington and possibly the Assassin cause as well Supply Caravans meant for the camp have gone missing I suspect treachery a traitor named Benjamin Church recently released from prison has vanished as well the two events are surely related Conor investigates reports on the Southern Road Benjamin Church is an enemy of the Patriots passing information to the British but he also has other enemies Conor hopes to find sign of church here but instead has a meeting he is long rehearsed in his head father Connor any last words come to check up on Church make sure he's stolen enough for your British Brothers Benjamin Church is no brother of mine Haytham sees the man his child has become without his influence he is a wash with emotions Pride Envy possibly even hatred but he sees opportunity and a dovetail of purpose to seek revenge on the traitor church and subconsciously the chance to know the child he sired perhaps some time together might do us good you are my son after all and might still be saved from your ignorance Connor's silence speaks to an agreement their record lasted the following weeks as they tracked a weak Trail through the Snows of the frontier the burnt out shells of the great fire and bustling docklands of New York we need more speed culminating in a sea Voyage to the Caribbean where Church looked a profit from his theft of patriot supplies throughout their partnership they found common ground but just as many differences as has been held between assassin and Templar for centuries order purpose Direction it's your lot that means to confound with this nonsense talk of freedom but they stuck for now to their Common Ground hatham did not know his father well he lost him at a young age but he settled into a shorthand with Conor although one of critique you could have killed me when we first met what stayed your hand curiosity any other questions oh I'm sorry would you like me to come along and hold your hand perhaps provide kind words of encouragement it's almost as though you want him to escape you do it why me because I said so now go how is it you came to Captain a ship given the way you say it was at least resemblance of a Father's Love For His Son you I recognize not the Savage here's my son but bubbling under this is Connor's resentment he has always held for his father Templars Charles Lee I found my mother Burning Alive Charles Lee is responsible for her death by your order that's impossible I gave no such order it is done and I'm all out of forgiveness further discussion May jeopardize Connor's immediate Mission they must find church and they do so on the Caribbean Sea they board the ship and take their prize enough where are the supplies you stole Connor aims to understand the mind of Benjamin Church like Braddock he had drifted from his order it's all a matter of perspective there is no single path for life that's right and fair and does no harm how dedicated as you are to fighting Templars who themselves see their work as just Conor understands this he always has good people do bad things out of ignorance and fear but he fights for what he thinks knows is right and he will not see people controlled manipulated oppressed he fights for freedom and he is wary of the mindset of the Patriots do they have everyone's freedom in mind and like his father hopes of him he hopes hatham can be saved from his ideologies their work together is not done they return with the stolen supplies both assassin and Templar want rid of the crown in order to defeat them they must know their plans they capture British officers to find out they are to march on New York when do they begin two days from now a must warn Washington they head to Valley Forge we should be sharing what we know with Lee not Washington you seem to think I favor him but my enemy is a notion not a nation your opposed tyranny Injustice these are just symptoms their true cause is human weakness you have said much yes but you have shown me nothing and we'll have to remedy that then won't we as Connor delivers news of the British attack Haytham finds just the evidence to deliver the Revelation he has kept to himself for now and what's this private correspondence would you like to note it says Connor Washington the Patriots are due to attack a native Village reacting to Intel that they are working with the British against them Washington's orders are to burn the Village Salt the land eradicate its people the village in question is Connor's not the first time either tell them what you did 14 years ago since that day the day he lost his mother he blamed the Templars for her death Charles Lee specifically but it was another during the Seven Years War as the natives worked with the French it was Washington's orders to stop this threat at any cost Washington orders his village to burn and he does so again and so now you see what happens to this great man when utter duress he makes excuses there's a great many things in fact accept take responsibility enough Conor knows there are many minds and many moving parts to a collective greed Washington is guilty yes but he has his village to save not to save his Nation but to enact a notion Connor is an assassin and he stands for those that struggle to stand for themselves he realizes he can't forge peace on such disparate ideals of how to live he must do this alone a warning to you both choose to follow me or oppose me and I will kill you Connor rides for his village as Charles Lee lit the touch paper before the massacre at Boston he does so here the Templars have sculpted the perfect scenario they have forewarned the village of the Patriot attack they will see the British fall under a preemptive strike from the natives and in doing so Charles Lee will see the certain death of the natives he so despises Connor tries to head off the Mohawk attack he must stop it he must save the village he subdues who he can until he meets his childhood friend his brother Cannon dorgan Charles Lee had spread lies to manipulate the village that Connor wants the end of the village that he has been corrupted the hate and the Betrayal that this is engendered is unassailable Connor has no choice another of those he loves has to die due to Greed Charles Lee is acting like every powerful Templar before him he is pulling the strings and manipulating the tide of change on both sides his plan has always been to weaken the British while at the same time undermine the leadership of George Washington Lee wants the seat of power in this new world Lee does such during the Battle of Monmouth Connor AIDS the Patriot Victory despite Lee's tactics Charles Lee has betrayed you he forced retreat in the midst of battle hoping the Lost would take the lives of your men and see you relieved of your command what that man is your enemy and he will not stop until you are dead or Dishonored should you choose to spare Lee's life then I will take it myself enjoy your Victory Commander it will be the last I deliver you Connor hates Washington he has every right to but at least his leadership is free of Templar Grandeur and at least he is steering a country towards Revolution he no longer needs to guide this ship it will reach his destination of its own accord they will get their independence Charles Lee is the only person who can stop it Connor knows what he must do in order to open the door and gain access to whatever is in there whatever the ones that came before needs Desmond to get to the Assassins must have haytham's artifact but before then they need the power sources the first one Desmond found switched the lights on the second taken from Manhattan store movement behind the door Sean hacked into the database and found news of more they traveled to Brazil to find a third artifact just like in New York Daniel Cross was there to Scupper them Desmond narrowly escaped with a prize news of the fourth and final artifacts came from Egypt Desmond needed to concentrate on haytham's amulet William would step up to the plate and retrieve it from the museum there Desmond woke from the Animus to hear the news abstergo has your dad where Italy in place they were holding you and the man holding him is familiar to Desmond too hello again Mr Miles Warren vidic the man that kept him prisoner forced him into the Animus turned Lucy Stillman to his will and now has his father I propose a trade bring me the apple and I'll return your father to you no worse for the where Desmond knows William would want them to move on find another power source focus on the mission but despite their differences the parental missteps the misconnection he loves his father there is no question what he must do they leave for Italy with the Apple the Apple left by Ezio beneath the Coliseum that opened the door to the Grand Temple the Apple that holds so much power they know I'm here Rebecca there's no way they don't subdue with the subject please Desmond doesn't need to be shown he knows exactly where to begin where it all started the Warren vidic's pet his best soldier stands in his way give me the app all right Desmond no what the hell was that that was cross's adult brain too long spent in the Animus in the care of abstego the care of Warren vidic so close to the Apple helped by Desmond it triggered the bleeding effect cross was no longer a threat he could not defend himself please don't kill me I'll let you in Desmond has the Apple but he has no intention of handing it over you want it fine here it is wait no he knows how to wield it it was meant for him left for him after all he's had the practice [Music] he has his father they have the final power source and Desmond has the Apple three power sources in hand Desmond begins to bring the temple back online when doing so the ever-present Juno tells stories stories of the ones that came before and their failure to stop the sun Four Towers would be built pull her Fury into this place and dispel it they did not have the time the first Tower was only partially completed and the project was abandoned but while we labored on other endeavors a few returned they thought to automate the process metal might finish with flesh could not they tried to use their existing Shield technology to perhaps Shield the Earth but they could not scale it enough they looked to harness the power of the Apple the phenomenon that multiple mines harness to it could change the very fabric of reality their aim was to place the Apple in the atmosphere to do this just as modern day of Sturgill hope to do once placed sentence would be uttered make us safe but they could not control it Minerva took charge of a divination project to enact a future solution they created a device so complex as to predict the infinite possibilities of the future enough so they could communicate with future allies that device was called the eye but every future they predicted led to the same outcome the destruction of the world they turned to bioengineering Juno's project to change their genetic makeup to resist the effects of the cataclysm in this manner we might thrive in a world made poisonous Juno's husband aita volunteered to test the process he was consumed with pain he begged for the end I pleaded with him to give us time to find another way but there wasn't one not for him not for us Juno could see their Race's fate was sealed for their bodies at least but what if they could save their minds what if they could transfer it to another vessel one more sturdy like stone for this they found a way it proved easy enough to enter [Music] acquired something more something wrong and so this too they abandoned I wondered though were they right to turn away however Juno is communicating with the Assassins now it's clear that before her kind passed she suffered great pain somehow she is even able to communicate with us digitally hacking the emails and leaving written dire tribes of her disdain for the human race who were inferior animalistic wretched things a hatred that is familiar to Desmond he has seen it Through the Ages none more so than with Charles Lee and his similar disdain for the natives and those that oppose the Templars in one email Juno describes how she lost her father to human hands during Humanity's revolution in the temple there is no Minerva no Jupiter just Juno it is clear she has no love for Humanity why is she helping them whatever's on the other side of that door it benefits Juno we need to be careful the temple is now powered they just need the key home stretch Desmond I can feel it hatham has that key but he's nowhere to be found Connor still hopes to spare him to make him see sense but in the homestead his other father his mentor that gave him the strength to fight his strength is waning Conor he's asking for you I'm Washington Spirit Lee's life so long as he lives all are in danger the same is true for your father but with league on my father might listen to me both men must die Connor leaves the ailing Achilles to construct his plan Lee currently takes refuge in Fort George in New York Connor can't enter from the ground he will use the underground system to gain access and with the help from his allies who will cause distraction at range from the sea in the chaos I will slip inside find Charles Lee and silence him forever Connor infiltrates the gun's rage the bells ring out he continues to the heart of the fort where are you Charles gone come now you cannot hope to match me Connor ah give me Lee impossible he promise a better future Haytham knows he cannot turn the tide in Conor's mind Connor knows the same there was a time for Haytham but that time has long gone he is too old too buried in the work he is done in the lives he has taken in the cause he has championed Lee must live to see this world Thrive under Templar ideals he is their best chance he does not hope to best his son maybe he will he just needs to stand in his way we did not harm your people we did not support the Crown we worked to see this land United and at peace under our rule surrender and I will spare you Brave words from man about to die we require no Creed no indoctrination by desperate old men all we need is that the world be as it is why the Templars will never be destroyed Haytham has the upper hand but he knows the Assassins he knows where they wear their hidden blades he wears one himself to truly give the Templars the world all he has to do is use it but who he is the life he has lived the product of that stolen summer with Zeo at his Mercy he won't he leaves his son's blade arm free he has given Lee the chance to flee it's up to him now and it's up to Connor I will not weep and wonder what might have been so you understand What Might Have Been is a story unto itself as a young boy Haytham was leading a different path until that path was diverted for him not unlike the relationship he had with Connor not unlike the relationship William has with Desmond haytham's father was cold distant but intent on instilling skills and a mindset his father was an assassin and before he could impart that wisdom he was killed unbeknownst to hatham by a man he would come to know well that man would become his mentor and his master he was a Templar named Reginald Birch before Haytham found out the truth Birch trained him taught in the Templar mindset and inducted him he lived a life he was born to despise a Templar life around the time Zio was having his son hatham acted on the knowledge that Birch was his father's killer and took his life Revenge was its only outcome Haytham now was who he was he was a Templar and he still longed for a world under its ideology over the preceding years he would wrestle with this after so long trying to unite his opposing thoughts inherent from his father and a Templar life he has led sick of being pulled in opposing directions now here he accepts the world as it is he accepts who he is he accepts who his son is like haytham's Father Connor was an assassin Connor's grandfather's name was Edward Kenway his story is yet to be told foreign before biddingly to flee before facing his son allowing Charles to escape he gave him the amulet Charles Lee now leads the Templar order and Connor must track him down and face him like his father Connor has been pulled in Myriad directions is he Canyon kahaka American Patriot Homestead owner assassin like his father he must remember who he truly is a guardian of those oppressed I cannot afford to be consumed with doubt the people need me now more than ever I must stop the Templars I will kill Charles Lee McConnor knows he will find him at the memorial service for his father Conor knows the Templars know he'll be there he doesn't care he needs to face his enemy This I Swear not here though not today first I'll destroy all you hold dear I'll burn that Homestead of yours to the ground and roast the seven heads of your precious founding fathers in its flames you can try Charles but as with all your schemes this too will end in failure take him away he knew Charles would not strike here he knew when hell the Templars could not keep him for long he knew that his presence would unsettle Charles and he knew despite his threats his defiant eyes would strike fear into Charles Lee Connor would just need to wait for his moment and with patience it came Charles's time in the Americas has come to an end the threat of Conor's next move is too much for him he knows he is no match Lee is at the harbor booking passage from these Shores Connor's there to meet him foreign he gives Chase through the harbor into the shipyard why do you persist you try so hard but it always ends the same yet you fight you resist why because no one else will his midriff punctured blood loss clouding his vision he will not be stopped he winged Lee Connor tracks him up the Charles River to Monmouth to the last drink Tavern so long as he waited for this moment Charles Lee was not responsible for his mother's death like he thought but his leadership of the Templars have been and will be responsible for so much more pain in the world this is not for Connor this is for the people he protects Charles Lee knows this is the end of the line there is nothing else to be said oh laughs Connor finally has the Amulet the key to the Grand Temple the tasks set him by the spirit all those years ago has been completed recovered from his wounds Connor returns to the Village his Endeavors Were Meant to save it to keep his people here unopposed by the changes outside the valley but the village has moved on without him headed west to delay the inevitable all that is left is the door to the Nexus to Juno now you must hide it when None Shall think to look and then in time what once was shall be again I do not understand nor need you but what of my people you have saved this place as was your people's purpose and that matters most remember you must hide the amulet where none might find it [Music] Connor started out all those years ago on a journey to save his people but as people have gone the independence the freedom he helped the Patriots attain has been achieved but not for all although the Templars are beaten for now his fight is not over not until Freedom prevails for everyone is an assassin but in the homestead by the community he built he's known as Conor this is the world he hopes to see multiplied across the land where peace laughter and unity Prevail where people share success share problems and work together for peace not a nation but a notion this is where Connor belongs when Connor arrived it was a shell that housed a Broken Man he was once a great assassin he was once a happy family man his story we may yet hear more of but for now the house the lands they are repaired and that broken man found Hope again Achilles as Achilles sat in his chair for the last time he could be happy that the cause he fought for for so long would be in good hands the hands he helped shape in the young Native boy Achilles saw hope so much so he gave him a name very dear to his heart the name he gave to the little boy he lost years before he lost everything the day he lost his family but in Connor he glimpsed a future the community they built together gathered round as they buried the old man on the hill I will make you proud old man and it is here that Connor will hide the amulet at the request of the spirit guarded by the grave of his namesake Achilles's infant son Connor and his wife and achilles a family at rest on the hill overlooking the community that has been born and that is where the assassins in 2012 find it I guess this is it we're right behind you they make their way to the door to the inner sanctum of the grand Temple Moment of Truth with his assassins behind him his friends his family he meets Juno at the altar of what he hopes is Humanity's savior here how he failed all our hopes extinguished save one one of their ideas to repel the sun was to do so with the construction of Four Towers to absorb the sun time allowed them to barely complete one although abandoning the project they left the job to machines they automated the project it took centuries long after the ones that came before had succumbed the machines finished their work to activate it needed just one thing your touch that's Ark spark to save the world wait do not touch the pedestal Minerva Minerva returning as a projection to warn Desmond you but how you left you destroyed the device did you think there was only one you must not free her free her one of the projects the Triad abandoned was that of transcendence rehousing Consciousness to another vessel Juno resurrected this technology and moved her mind to the very fabric of this Temple waiting for the moment she could be freed Juno's priority was not to save the world from the sun while we worked to save the world she sought instead to conquer it she used our machine to set her plans in motion the eye that Minerva built to Divine the future was appropriated by Juno to use it for her own ends to deliver a message to Desmond in the Coliseum to kill Lucy Stillman when we discovered her treasury we put a stop to it and then we left but first we called to you to Desmond and the Assassins to come to the temple to try where they had failed Minerva wanted to save Humanity in the future even if she could not save her own species with the message sent she destroyed the eye in the temple but there was another kept safe by Minerva used to project to this moment now I see we were deceived she survived she endured and then she began to work after the temple was sealed she transferred her Consciousness to the temple to the first civilization computational Hardware within it to be immortal but trapped whatever her plan was before her treachery was discovered she now had thousands of years and the power of the temple to communicate through the pieces of Eden scattered throughout the world to communicate with Humanity through time the tribe of the Mohawk Valley subject 16 with Desmond to formulate a new plan to free herself and set about conquering the Earth her message to Desmond in the temple under the Coliseum as he stepped towards Lucy blade drawn was cryptic it is done the way lies all before you only she remains to be found awaken the sixth in the grand Temple as Desmond placed those power sources Juno talked of six methods the first civilization attempted to save the world the sixth of those she described was Transcendence she was saved but trapped by the sixth method and she needed to be free to be awakened what she needed was a spark Desmond's High concentration of first civilization DNA the touch from him would activate the towers the towers that took so long to build they would absorb the sun's power saving the world but somehow transferring Juno to another vessel one in which she can leave these walls seek the power she craves and an opportunity to punish enslave the species she so despises Minerva's message to the Assassins is that it's too late in touching the pedestal the catastrophe may be averted but a worse catastrophe would take its place only touched the pedestal and the world will be saved better the world burn it is that so show him then Minerva long ago divined what would happen when the sun's Rays hit the world would burn its people would perish save a lucky few the few people like Desmond and his fellow assassins safe underground protected when they emerged Desmond would become a leader amongst them inspiring Unity to rebuild to be at one with each other in peace that word would spread and take seed but in time like all great leaders his body would fail those words would be taken and corrupted and the cycle of Humanity's failings would begin again so tell me how is this better they will enslave your kind Desmond is this not why you fight is this not why you came here to ensure more than just our Race's future but it's Freedom what future what Freedom billions dead and the whole cycle began Anew enough you must not do this whatever Juno's planning however terrible it might seem today we'll find a way to stop it but the alternative what you want there's no hope there it's done Minerva the decisions made save the world but free a tyrant that is the decision Desmond will not wipe the Slate clean killing billions however Bleak the state of the world however terrible the things to come there are still assassins out in the world that will dedicate their lives to changing it to freeing it to stopping those that look to oppress it you need to go all of you now get as far away from here as you can son in his time in the temple Desmond achieved something he never thought he would he became his father's son again Desmond is the world's savior but his father and his fellow assassins will be at hope they must live on it's already started I need to do this now so go go Desmond is not the boy he was that fled from the farm all those years ago he ran from a cause he felt was not his his father knew he was special so wanted him to be prepared abstergo knew he was special and slaved him to the Animus the ones that came before knew he was special and pulled all the strings for him to be here before the pedestal but he was no longer anyone's puppet this was his cause his choice and in touching the pedestal he would give Humanity a chance however small to be free foreign Desmond but now now it's time that I played
