D’Éon: I am the Chevalier d’Éon. Master swordsman, diplomat and sometimes spy. Do not be confused by my attire. I simply prefer to clothe myself in female garb.
Arno: It is a little confusing.
D’Éon: You are an Assassin. I’m hoping you can help me. But first, I’d like to ensure that you’re the man for the job. There are several swordsmen who will test your acumen. Challenge each of them and draw ‘first blood’… and watch you don’t step on my dress.
“Nice find! If it was me, I’d snoop to see if there’s any juicy stuff on it… but I might be a terrible person.” – Violet da Costa
Shay: So Liam, what can you tell me about Adéwalé? You obviously admire the man.
Liam: Aye. I had the honor of working with him once. I’ve never known anyone who’d done so much for our cause… but it’s much more than that.
Chevalier: Adéwalé was already a légende (legend) before joining the Brotherhood. He was a pirate – the scourge of the West Indies! – rubbing elbows with the likes of Blackbeard, Woodes Rogers and Calico Jack Rackham.
Shay: Calico who?
Chevalier: Oh, read a book, will you?
“Wh–what is that? Wh–stop it! Get away from me! Don’t touch me!” – Shay Cormac
It’s time to go now, Haul away your anchor, Haul away your anchor, It’s our sailing time.
Get some sail upon her, Haul away your halyards, Haul away your halyards. It’s our sailing time.
Get her on her course now, Haul away your foresheets, Haul away your foresheets, It’s our sailing time.
Waves are surging under, Haul away down Channel, Haul away down Channel, On the evening tide.
When your sailing’s over, Haul away for Heaven, Haul away for Heaven, God be by your side.
It is time to go now, Haul away your anchor, Haul away your anchor, It’s our sailing time.

“Long, Long Ago” from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (lyrics from Contemplator)
Tell me the tales that to me were so dear, Long, long ago, long, long ago, Sing me the songs I delighted to hear, Long, long ago, long ago, Now you are come all my grief is removed, Let me forget that so long you have roved. Let me believe that you love as you loved, Long, long ago, long ago.
Do you remember the paths where we met? Long, long ago, long, long ago. Ah, yes, you told me you’d never forget, Long, long ago, long ago. Then to all others, my smile you preferred, Love, when you spoke, gave a charm to each word. Still my heart treasures the phrases I heard, Long, long ago, long ago.
Tho’ by your kindness my fond hopes were raised, Long, long ago, long, long ago. You by more eloquent lips have been praised, Long, long ago, long, long ago, But, by long absence your truth has been tried, Still to your accents I listen with pride, Blessed as I was when I sat by your side. Long, long ago, long ago.
