In 1754, Haytham assassinates a patron at the Royal Opera House to steal a Key in his possession. Instructed by his Order (later revealed as the Templars) to find the Temple they believe it opens, Haytham travels to the American Colonies and recruits several allies to aid his expedition. In the process, he meets and falls in love with a Mohawk woman, Kaniehti:io, who enlists his help in eliminating Edward Braddock before taking him to the Grand Temple, which Haytham is unable to access.
