Assassin<\/h2>\n

(It’s Assassin Month)<\/p>\n

Edward Kenway<\/a> was a Welsh-born British privateer-turned-pirate. Born to farmers, Edward sought to acquire riches and fame. He became a privateer for the Royal Navy early in his life and, once accepted, found himself stationed in the West Indies. However, a quick end to the War of the Spanish Succession and the promise of gold, glory and fame eventually seduced him into a life of piracy.<\/p>\n
