Cape Bonavista

Kenway off Cape Bonavista, June 1715

In June 1715, his ship "Jacobite" came under attack from British frigate HMS Intrigue off Cape Bonavista, Cuba, during his pirating career. He sunk 5 British gunboats and also sunk HMS Intrigue, just the powder on "Jacobite" was set up alight and the ship exploded. Edward survived and swam to shore, where he encountered Duncan Walpole, the other survivor of the battle off Cape Bonavista. The two lay next to each other, and Walpole told Kenway that he had to become to Havana. Walpole offered Kenway 100 Escudos if he took him to Havana, but when Walpole refused to tell Kenway more and Kenway asked if he had the gold on him at the time, Kenway approached him and Walpole aimed a gun at him. Walpole and so fled into the jungle, so Kenway pursued him. Kenway was shot in the chest, but he eventually cornered him and slashed him twice across the chest, killing him.

Kenway so constitute a alphabetic character, maxim that the writer awaited his arrival with eagerness. He also said that he would laurels Walpole handsomely for information, and told him to come to Havana in haste and would be treated as a Brother. Kenway and so found out that the letter of the alphabet was written past Governor Laureano Torres y Ayala, and Kenway took his uniform so that he could collect Walpole'south reward under his personality.

He spotted a schooner in the cape and headed to the site, where he found a man and ii other sailors being harassed past British soldiers. Kenway saw the ii sailors be shot as they fled, and the human being offered to pay the British saccharide and money in substitution for letting him go. Kenway killed the guards to rescue Bonnet, and he introduced himself every bit "Duncan". He asked Bonnet if he could have him to Havana, and Bonnet said that his destination was also Havana, and so the two headed to the urban center together. Kenway and Bonnet prepare a course for Havana, leaving Cape Bonavista safely.

In July 1715, Kenway and Stede Bonnet arrived in Havana, and Bonnet bartered with Spaniards similar they were cousins. Kenway bought a pair of swords with money that Bonnet gave him, and he found a small cafe where a group of pirates were eating. When he entered the cafe as Bonnet headed to a concern meeting, he was recognized by an English pirate, and then Kenway got into a fight and was forced to crush downwardly 6 pirates. Only then, Raimondo de Garcia arrived with Spanish troops, so Kenway was forced to flee. He dropped a smoke bomb earlier fleeing to safety, away from the Castilian Ground forces.

While he was able to escape, the Castilian turned on Bonnet and seized his send's holdings, including the package meant for Torres. Edward infiltrated the Spanish fort to recover the package before going to the intended meeting with Torres.

Edward carefully maintained his deception every bit he conversed with prospective Templars - Woodes Rogers, whose married woman had met Duncan, and Julien du Casse. Du Casse equipped Edward with a new pair of Hidden Blades and requested that Edward show them some Assassin techniques in action. Picking up on hints from Du Casse and Rogers, Edward was able to replicate the moves with relative accuracy.

When Torres eventually arrived, Rogers, Du Casse and "Walpole" were inducted into the Templar Order. Edward listened to Torres' plans to locate a First Civilization site known as the Observatory, which the Templars believed would allow them to monitor every person in the earth and larn all their secrets. Uninterested, Edward took the opportunity to pickpocket the Templars as they discussed their plans.

The 4 and then traveled to the city docks to think a man named Bartholomew Roberts, an alleged Sage who knew the Observatory's location. On the way back to the governor's house, they were ambushed past Assassins and Roberts fled, though Edward managed to chase him downwards and retrieve him. As Roberts was led away, Torres gave Edward Walpole's intended pay for a job well done - 1000 reales.

Striking by a tempest, they narrowly managed to escape earlier the entire accompanying fleet was sunk. Edward decided to proper name his newly acquired ship Jackdaw and, realizing that hardly any of his new crew would have Adéwalé every bit captain, dubbed him Quartermaster.

Thatch shared with Edward his concerns virtually protecting their newly formed "Pirate Republic" from British recapture, and proposed a plan to take a particular Spanish Galleon in order to better protect the nascent revolutionary state. At his request, Edward located and tailed the Galleon to Great Inagua, simply to learn that the send was owned by none other than Julien du Casse. Reasoning that du Casse could not be immune to live and spread news of Edward's escape, Edward approached the cove through the jungle, snuck aboard the send and assassinated du Casse.

James Kidd congratulated Edward on his victory, and brought him to a Mayan stela in the jungle, telling him to use "the low-cal of life" to uncover the treasure to which it pointed. Kidd and then showed Edward an surreptitious tunnel leading to the du Casse manor and the special armor locked away there, and proposed that Edward go along the island equally his base.

Kidd diffused the situation by telling Ah Tabai that Edward had "the Sense", and requested leave for them to enter a nearby temple. Later on claiming that he would recognize Bartholomew Roberts if he saw the man again, Edward was granted access to the temple with Kidd.^[ane]

While explaining the nature of the Assassinator-Templar conflict and the Creed, Kidd led Edward to an antechamber containing a sculpture of the Sage. Edward originally claimed that information technology did non resemble Roberts at all; however, equally he and Kidd completed an associated puzzle, layers of the sculpture were removed to show a better likeness underneath. Astonished, Edward confirmed that the statue perfectly resembled Roberts.^[i]

When Edward and Kidd exited the temple, they found the Assassin base of operations under siege by Templar forces. Edward aided the Assassins in their fight, freeing several who had been captured and earning the appreciation of Ah Tabai. Nevertheless, considering the damage he had caused through negligence, Ah Tabai decreed that Edward was not welcome in Tulum any more.
