Gareth Pope (1990-Present) was a member of the Assassin Order in the 21st century operating around the globe. His implication in the Order's activities led him to infiltrate the extremist collective known as the Instruments of the First Will. He was ultimately captured with his brother by Abstergo Industries.
He was the first son of former Templar turned-Hermeticist Solomon Pope and Emma Rosier. At the age of 18, his parents tragically and mysteriously died in a car accident in Paris. Shortly afterwards, his sister disappeared in strange circumstances.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Solomon and Emma were on a vacation in Vancouver when she broke water. Gareth was born at the Vancouver General Hospital on November 10th, 1990, at 22:47, only two minutes after his twin sister, Marianne. The family remained in the city for a few days. When they returned to France, Solomon brought his children to a Templar assembly where they received the Father of Understanding's "blessing". Solomon promised he would raise Gareth and Marianne in the way of the Order for when they will be of age, they would join the Templars' ranks.
