   Summary

   William Miles is the Mentor, keeping the ever dwindling Assassins together with his bare hands and trying (and failing) to have a relationship with his son.

   Before that, he’s a simple Assassin desperately trying to uncover what Abstergo is looking for inside the Animus before it’s too late.

   Before that, the event which changes the trajectory of his entire life.
