Eustace Busket (c. 1170 – 1217), better known as Eustace the Monk, was a French pirate and mercenary active during the Middle Ages in the English Channel.

Legacy[]

"I am a digital construction of a French historical figure... from the Middle Ages. The data you have collected for me comes from a modern device known as an Animus. I am but a glitch, an anomaly... implanted to steal precious information from the makers of this machine."
―The Monk revealing his purpose to the research analyst.[src]-[m]

As Abstergo Industries studied the genetic memories of Alonzo Batilla, an unidentified group created The Monk, a digital construction based on Eustace designed to fool the research analyst reliving the memories into stealing information from Abstergo's databases. The glitch, known only as "???", took the form of a mysterious hooded figure active in the Caribbean Sea who sought information and merchandises, and tasked Alonzo with finding parcels protected by powerful warships. In the simulation, the first two appearances of the Monk were in Scorpion Reef in June 1716.[1][2] A month later, the Monk tasked the Abstergo analyst two more times while located in Bahía de Guadiana, Cuba.[3][4] The simulation would not return until November, when the Monk appeared in the Florida Keys with a further two requests.[5][6]

In January 1717, he appeared in Havana,[7][8] and in February was in the Grand Bahama.[9][10] Following these last two missions, however, the monk made increasingly more sporadic appearances, often not resurfacing for up to three or four months at a time. He returned in May in Nassau,[11][12] and then in September in La Boca del Diablo,[13][14] before ending the year in December in Mayaguana, always asking the same request and with two missions at each location.[15][16] The Monk appeared twice again to the Abstergo analyst in March 1718 on Harbour Island,[17][18] and then was not heard from until nearly half a year had passed. Five months later in August, during the Monk's last encounter and appearance to the analyst in the Caicos Islands, the Monk revealed his identity and purpose before disappearing forever.[19][20]
