Name: Andrew Fulk
Born: May 12, 1722; Hochland, New York
Died: August 16, 1790; Bethania, North Carolina (age 68)
Allegiance: Assassins

Bio: Andrew Fulk (born Andreas Volck) was born in New York to a family of German Lutheran immigrants who had come over from the Holy Roman Empire in 1708. When Andrew was 7, he and his family moved to Allemaengel, Pennsylvania, where they united with the local Moravian church. He lived the average life of a good-natured church-going lad, training to become a priest in his early years. He married a darling young lady named Maria Margaretha Romig on November 16, 1743, and with her he built a loving family. Unfortunately, their fourth child was a stillborn baby, and the loss took a heavy toll on Andrew's psyche. He fell into depression, and it wouldn't be cured until years later.

In 1747, he came into contact with many local church ministers, including the famous Peter Boehler, who was preaching in the area at the time. These ministers helped him find a path to enlightenment that he needed to help him overcome his loss. Through their preachings, he found a new path in life, and he decided to devote his life to charity and church affairs. In 1749, he was officially accepted into a congregation and he travelled across Pennsylvania helping to establish new congregations and helping dozens of people in need. It was also around this time that his charity work caught the eyes of a certain Brotherhood, who approached him and explained that they were interested in working with him. After many weeks of talking with these hooded men that called themselves Assassins and working with them to protect the innocent on multiple occasions, Andrew eventually agreed to visit their headquarters at the Davenport Homestead in Massachusetts, where he met their Mentor, Achilles Davenport, and was formally made a member of the Brotherhood.

Afterwards, Andrew returned to his home in Allemaengel, where he continued to raise his family, improve the community, and combat his new enemies: the Templars, a group of knights whose goals were to take over the colonies so that they could rebuild their Order and claim power over the populace. Things turned sour as the colonies were engulfed in the Seven Years’ War, however. After a tragic accident in Portugal in 1755, a young Assassin named Shay Patrick Cormac betrayed the Brotherhood and joined the Templar Order by 1757. Shay and his newfound friends led a purge against almost all Assassins in the colonies, forcing many of them to go into hiding. Andrew and his family stayed safe under the guise of the church for a while, but a team of Templars led by the feared Haytham Kenway caught up to him in 1767, forcing Andrew to fight them off and flee with his family to a new home in North Carolina, where he would continue his work in secret, refusing to give up in his charity services.

A new hope came the form of a young Kanien’kehá:ka boy named Ratonhnhaké:ton, colloquially known as Connor, who came to the abandoned Davenport Homestead in 1769 in order to be trained by the now-retired Achilles. While reluctant at first, Achilles ultimately gave in and together they began to rebuild the Assassin Brotherhood at the dawn of the American Revolution. Connor exchanged correspondence with Andrew and met with him on a few occasions throughout the 1770s. Andrew and his family used their connections to assist the Assassins during the American Revolution, undoing all the work that the Templars had done over a decade prior. He never joined the Continental Army itself like many other Assassins did—in fact he obtained a certificate which freed him from muster in 1772—preferring instead to work with his resources at home as an intelligence ring. At one point he hunted down an oppressive Templar preacher named Federico Perez, who had a knack for hanging anyone he deemed a sinner, and assassinated him.

The Revolution ultimately proved a success, with the Americans winning their independence in 1783 and the last threads of the Templars being snuffed out by Connor and his friends, opening up a new era for the Assassins to figure out. Evils such as slavery were still rampant throughout the continent, meaning that the work of the Assassins was far from over. Andrew himself continued his charity work until he passed away in 1790 with his family by his side.

He is an ancestor of Carter Spainhower and Chelsea Patterson.
