Throughout the GameInformer issue, you can see quotes by the Founding Fathers and Thomas Payne about the importance of freedom, and a snippet of the Declaration of Indepence with the Assassin logo on it. And more of little tidbits like that. I think it's quite safe to say that they were Assassins, or at least Washington, Franklin, Adams and Jefferson. I would be more wary of Charles Lee, in your case.
