George Davidson

George Davidson (1752 – 1777) was an escaped slave, Loyalist soldier, and member of the Templar Order.

Escape from slavery
During the 1770s, George managed to escape slavery with the aid of the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré and her stepmother Madeleine de L'Isle. Aveline helped George escape the city of New Orleans unharmed and found safe passage for him through the Louisiana Bayou. Upon arriving there, Aveline and George met with her smuggler allies Élise Lafleur and Roussillon, who were in the process of delivering supplies to American patriots.

However, they were facing opposition from Spanish soldiers under the command of a Templar named Vázquez, but Aveline and the smugglers managed to hold them back as they escorted George and the supplies through the bayou. After successfully reaching their destination, Aveline asked whether the patriots would allow George to accompany them to the North. They agreed, accepting him into the Patriot cause.

Death
In 1777, Aveline was sent to New York to meet the Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin, Ratonhnhaké:ton, in order to track down a Loyalist soldier called Officer Davidson, who was working for the "Company Man", the head Templar of Louisiana. Aveline infiltrated a fort located within the New York frontier and confronted Officer Davidson, who she shockingly discovered to be George. Aveline questioned his allegiances to the Templars and the British Army, but George replied that he had been guaranteed freedom by the Loyalists in return for service to their cause. Following a heated battle, he attempted to escape, but his carriage was shot down by Aveline.

George claimed that he had chosen his destiny, and that deciding his fate was true freedom. Aveline hesitated, before asking him as to the identity of the Company Man. In his dying breath, he told her that "the answer has been in her own backyard all along", prompting the Assassin to understand that the Company Man was her own stepmother, Madeleine de L'Isle.
