Chapter 30: Logan

Mentor Kenway,

I suppose that is fair. Logan was only supposed to distract you; we expected Moluntha to ease tensions. McGrary shocked all of us, and with the murder of their Chief we knew there would be no peace.

I do not approve of Logan's decisions; indeed, I would have condemned him did I not know too well what it is to be the man on the ground giving orders, amidst the stress and fear of combat. With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear that better precautions should have been taken. If I were to do it again, I would not leave the entire matter to Logan's discretion. But what is done, is done.

I have never objected to your decision to assassinate the man, despite his use to me. I never could bring myself to forgive him, despite his years of loyal service. The only defense I may give is that you left me with barely a Rite to work with.

I will not shame myself with lies, however. If it had to be done again, I would do it. The Constitution was utterly necessary. It had to be brought about.

Yours,

Shay Patrick Cormac

Grandmaster of the American Rite

Mr. Miles,

It seems Cormac was involved in Logan's Raid. Nasty business, that. Well, we knew Logan was a Templar, so this isn't exactly news. It seems Moluntha's death wasn't actually planned, which was considerably less clear ― assuming Cormac is a trustworthy source, which I don't. Those events started the North-West Indian War, but I assume you knew that already.
