Storyline
The plot is set in a fictionalized version of real-world history and follows the ancient struggle between the Assassins, who fight to preserve peace and free will, and the Templars, who seek peace through control. A framing story set in the 21st century casts the player as an employee of Abstergo Industries, a company used as a front by the modern-day Templars, who is manipulated into uncovering secrets tied to the Assassin and Templar conflict and a precursor race known as the First Civilization. The main story unfolds in the West Indies during the Golden Age of Piracy, from 1715 to 1722, and follows the notorious Welsh pirate Edward Kenway as he searches for fortune and a mythical location called the Observatory, sought by both factions. Woven through it is the attempted founding of an independent pirate republic in the Caribbean.
