Achilles Davenport (c. 1710 – 1781) was Mentor of the Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins from 1746 until 1763. A man of Caribbean and British descent, Achilles’ tenure as leader of the American Assassins was turbulent, despite its promising start. His choices over the course of the French and Indian War had disastrous consequences, leading to the defection of Shay Cormac and the destruction of his Brotherhood.
After a large-scale attack on the Assassins by the Colonial Rite of the Templar Order in 1763, the Colonial Brotherhood collapsed and disbanded. Achilles abandoned the Assassin cause and spent the next six years living alone at his manor until meeting with the young Ratonhnhaké:ton, whom he started to train at the boy’s behest. Achilles spent his final years guiding Ratonhnhaké:ton, and this tutelage led to his apprentice’s important role in the American Revolution and the extermination of the Colonial Templars.
