Oh hey look who's birthday it is today-

Name: Carter Spainhower
Born: April 26, 1999; Indianapolis, Indiana
Allegiance: Assassins

Bio: Carter was born the eldest son of an aspiring musician and a stony businesswoman. He and his little brother Braden were initially raised in a quaint little neighborhood of Whiteland, Indiana, under the loving eyes of their father and the passive watch of their mother. He spent most of his childhood there, and made many friends around town, though he never really learned how to be social with others, something he'd heavily regret in his later years. It was also here that he met his older cousin, Chelsea, who lived down the street and became an older-sister figure to Carter. He lived an average childhood and assumed it would stay that way, until one day in January 2012, when his parents sat him down in his room and explained that they would be moving into the small slummy house that they had lived in when Carter was four due to financial issues. It was heartbreaking news, and it only got worse when not long after, he was told that his parents were getting divorced, and that he'd be stuck in the custody of his increasingly abusive mother.

When the boys moved in to the older house with their mother, things only got worse and worse. On top of the horrid condition of the place (more a construction site than a house) and the constant bullying at school, Carter's mother grew increasingly insane and abusive, obsessed with power to the point where she would slip additional drugs into her children's antidepressant medication in order to screw up their brain chemistry so badly that they would grow more and more submissive. But Carter resisted, despite his crippling depression and anxiety brought upon by the abuse, and for two hard years he fought alongside his father and stepmother and cousins to get the courts to turn the boys over. It was a long and painful fight, but it eventually ended in their victory. In October 2013, the court ruled that custody would be given to their father, and the police came and removed Carter and his brother from the hell they had lived under for so long. Carter went to bed in his father's clean apartment that night, wish fresh food and his stomach and, for the first time in years, a smile on his face.

His depression began to fade as things got better. He was treated fairly in his new home, and he was able to make many loving friends at his new school that would protect him with their lives as they helped him overcome his inner demons. Chelsea was a big help too, as she worked as a charity worker who specialized in cases like this. She often came to check on Carter and hang with him, and one night in December 2013 she took him to the local museum in order to help lift his spirits a bit. However, the trip did not end as well as planned. The two were ambushed by armed men whom Chelsea fought off before grabbing her cousin and rushing him to a warehouse in the middle of Indianapolis. When questions started pouring out of Carter's mouth, Chelsea explained to him that she was actually a part of an Ancient Brotherhood called the Assassins, devoted to protecting humanity from their enemies: the Templars, of whom Carter's mother was a member of. Realizing he had a chance to make things better not just for himself but for the whole world, Carter took up his cousin's offer to join and fight the good fight to free Indianapolis.

Over the next two years, Carter and his friends worked to take out all the major Templar players in Indianapolis one by one. By January 2015, the Order was practically extinct in the city. Carter hunted down his last target: Grand Master Natasha Wolfgang, and fell into a trap where he was forced to confront his mother. The two had a tough and vicious battle that ended in Carter's victory, though he spared her, forcing her to wallow in her defeat since he knew that was a fate worse than death for her. He proceeded to walk out the building, find Natasha Wolfgang cornered in a warehouse, and assassinate her, freeing his city once and for all. Needless to say, Carter and his friends celebrated spectacularly that day.

Carter's only future interactions with his mother were during the visitations that were later assigned by the court. His mother, tired from defeat and on the edge of excommunication for her corruption, passed a mission file she had been working on for years to her son, thinking he might have better luck than she did. There was only one word on the file: “Prophetstown”, and that was what Carter began his next journey with. He and Chelsea continued to clean up the last scraps of Templar activity in Indianapolis, and in November 2015, Carter recruited his best friend, Jacob Singer, into the Brotherhood after rescuing him from the Templars. Three other friends joined the Hoosier group in December, when Chelsea called on her friends, Ben Dylan, Ruby Mills, and Ava Arlie, for help with the Prophetstown case. They explained that they had discovered a Precursor Temple underneath the old Shawnee settlement of Prophetstown via Ava's genetic memories, and that in order to find the Key to unlock it, Carter had to use the Animus to explore the memories of his ancestor: Priscilla Abbott, and so he took up the mission.

Between his Animus sessions, Carter continued his Indianapolis adventures in the modern day. During his many confrontations with Abstergo and the Blume Corporation, Carter encountered his new big enemy: Jessica Wolfgang, the psychotic brainwashed daughter of Natasha Wolfgang out for revenge. However, Carter realized during their many encounters that it was not of her own volition, and that deep down she wanted no part in the Order that had abused her her whole life. He continuously tried to break through her mental wall of fear and oppression, but never could. Things weren't so good on the other side of the spectrum either. Jacob, after helping Carter and friends claim a Staff of Eden from the Templars, was slowly being corrupted by the artifact’s power. By spring 2016, he had lost his mind and stolen the Staff for himself, using it on an already mentally fragile Ava and making her Bleeding Effect trauma ten times worse. Jacob fled after the ensuing fight, and the next few weeks were spent on a hopeless moping around the hideout. Eventually Carter got the emotional boost he needed from his friends at school to return to the Animus and find the Key to the Prophetstown Temple. He located the Key thankfully, but there was still one final obstacle before he could go claim it: Jacob had made his way to the top of the Chase Tower in downtown Indy and was using its power to try and annihilate the city. Realizing he had no choice but to fight his best friend before any innocent lives were hurt, Carter rushed downtown as fast as possible. He was stopped along the way by a broken Jess, whom he fought and defeated and offered one last chance to change herself and help the Assassins win this fight. Jess finally gave in and accepted her true self, and helped her new friends defeat Jacob and save the city.

Carter, Jess, and Chelsea then went to recover the Temple Key, and just as they did, they got a phone call from Ben panicking and saying that Ava had gone into a coma from how bad her Bleeding Effect trauma was. The gang rushed back to the hideout, and discovered that it was true. Once again, the place was filled with a depressingly quiet atmosphere as they all monitored Ava and hoped she'd wake up. Carter, while taking a walk downtown, started having Bleeding Effect episodes of his own, triggered by his severe depression episodes. He faded in and out of the Civil War, and the flashes only stopped when Jess came along and gave him his lost hope back. Ava would awaken 3 weeks later, explaining that she had gone on a soul-searching journey in the Animus while in he coma, and that now she knows what they need to do, and she eagerly told them they still have a mission to complete.
