David Corsei was an African-British slave aboard the Experto Crede. He had been the result of a night of passion between a British nobleman, John Pykes, and an African tribeswoman. When he was five years old, David's mother was killed and he was forced into a life of slavery. It was 1735 and Experto Crede was docked in the country of Haiti.
That night, it was raining heavily, and David was forced to remain on deck to guard the ship. He saw a hooded figure climb the mast. The hooded figure killed the French guard on the mast easily and threw him onto the deck. David smiled and remained silent. He looked around and saw members of the famous Maroon rebellion kill the French guards. One rebel walked up to David and held his sword by David's throat.
"A guard you are?" asked the rebel. David replied, "Of course not. I'm forced to remain on deck in stormy weather, unarmed. Also, do I look French to you?"
The rebel nodded and walked off. The hooded figure walked up to David next. David bowed and thanked him. The hooded figure introduced himself as Adewale.
"So the quartermaster of the infamous Edward Kenway you were? Amazing!" David cried out in delight. "So you serve a nobler cause now. Even back home in Africa, I heard of stories of the international war of the Assassins and Templars."
"You seem smarter than the other slaves. Let me tell you something, slave. Seek out the Assassin bureau in Kingston, Jamaica. The bureau chief, Anto, will teach you the way of the Assassin," Adewale instructed David. Adewale gave David a pouch of coins and sent him on his way.
