Joe

Joe was believed to be a psychologically unstable mercenary who murdered the civilians of New York, but was in fact an extraordinary member of the Assassin Brotherhood, with justice as his primary motivator.

Since he avoided daylight, Joe always moved during the night, instilling fear into the populace. Since it lead him to gaining such an infamy, his name was only ever spoken in hushed tones. However, since his true name was known to none, he gained the moniker "Joe," after one of his Templar victims screamed out the name as he struck them down.

In 2012, his genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by the entertainment branch of the Templar company Abstergo Industries, to influence the general public via the Animus games console, under the title of the Night Stalker.
