The Merchant was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description[]
Connor was told to find "The Merchant" in New York and beat him to participate in the Boston Brawlers Tournament.
Dialogue[]
- Merchant: Another one. Alright, let's get it over with, then.
Won't get far with me on my feet.
Try and get me down.
Standing toe-to-toe? This is easy.
Connor defeated his three sidekicks. He found throwing the Merchant, breaking his defense and downing him was the fastest way to hit him.
- Merchant: Oof! That smarts.
