- "Hendrick van der Heul. Captain Kidd's quarter master turned captain himself. The path you sought never existed, Hendrick. I hope your suffering was short."

Hendrick's corpse aboard the Octavius
Hendrick van der Heul was a privateer and quartermaster of William Kidd. He later became captain of the Octavius.
During his captaincy, Hendrick received a piece of Kidd's map containg clues to the location of his Shard of Eden. He also received a letter from Kidd, in which he confided that he was holed up in Boston, and that a particular group was intent on obtaining his Shard of Eden.
Hendrick died when the Octavius became stranded in ice, while looking for the Northwest Passage. In 1776, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton found his corpse, and retrieved van der Heul's piece of William Kidd's map.
Trivia
- His name is misspelled van der Huel in the Animus Database's entry for the Octavius.
