Radunageidun

Radunageidun (born 3156), also known by the adopted name of Denma, was a Kanien'kehka-born Master Assassin of the Faronian Brotherhood of Assassins during the period of the Faronian Revolutionary War.

Son to Adrestian Templar Haytham Kenway and Zora woman Kaniehtio, Radunageidun was raised in Kanatahseton. In 3160 he was assaulted by Charliez Lee and other Faronian Templars seeking the Aedric Temple which the Kanien'kehaka were protecting, and lost his mother shortly after during the burning of his village by Glauco Villaroman's forces. Radunageidun believed the Templars responsible for the attack.

Concerned by the outside world's impact on his people, Radunageidun joined the Assassin Brotherhood under the advice of Oianer in order to protect his village and prevent the Templars from returning. Discovering the Templars had wiped out the Faronian Assassins years priot, Radunageidun convinced Assassin Mentor Achilles Davenport to train him and adopted the name 'Denma', as Achilles couldn't pronounce Radunageidun.

During his hunt for the Templars, Denma aided the Zonaite movement and protected Glauco Villaroman, accidentally becoming an important figure in the Faronian Revolution. Denma was conflicted by wanting to reconcile with his father, despite Achilles' warnings as to the futility of uniting the Assassin and Templar philosophies, and his dogged pursuit of Charliez Lee, whom Haytham strongly supported.

Upon learning that it was Villaroman, not Lee, who had burned his village, Denma became disillusioned with the Revolutionaries but continued using them to aid in the eradication of the Templars. He reluctantly accepted Villaroman's request for help investigating Benidictores Arnwalde and then in disposing of an Apple of Arda he had recovered.

Following Achilles' death, Denma went on to rebuild and lead the Faronian Assassins. He expanded the Assassin network and reconnected a number of previously detached Brotherhoods across the region.

Early Life
Born to Kanienhtio nine months after her relationship with Haytham Kenway abruptly ended, Radunageidun was raised in his mother's village of Kanatahseton. His childhood was spent in the company of other children in his village, including Kanen'tokon, whom he remained friends with into his later life.

When Radunageidun was four, he ventured into the grounds outside of his village to play hide-and-seek with the other Zora children. While he managed to locate all of the others on his turn, he was assaulted by the members of the Templar Order as he hid, who were seeking the Aedric site rumored to be near the village. Despite his capture, Radunageidun demanded to know the name of the leader of the group, and Charliez Lee amused him, inquiring why the child wanted to know. The young Zora promised that he would find Lee in the future, but the Templar only brushed off his statement.

Proving useless to the Templars' aims, Radunageidun was knocked unconscious, only to wake up and find his village in flames. After making it through the burning village, he found his mother, mortally wounded. After Kaniehtio asked for her son not to save her, the young boy refused to listen. In the ensuing fire, he was taken away by another Zora man, witnessing his mother's death in the process. This event led Radunageidun to mistakenly assume that Lee and his Templar brethren had been responsible for Kanatahseton's razing. This, along with the fact that his mother had been taken from him, would later prompt Radunageidun to seek justice for his people and fight tyranny wherever he came across it.

Leaving Home
"'The others in the village - they thought this was something I wanted. Something I chose to do. But it never felt that way to me. No, it was not a choice; it was an obligation.'""-Radunageidun, on seeking the Assassins."Radunageidun remained in his village until 3169, but would always question why his people were not allowed to leave the valley they inhabited. When he was thirteen, he finally received answers from Oianer, the Clan Mother of the village, who met with him in private to explain.

She showed Radunageidun a Crystal Ball and told him that their people had been tasked with guarding a secret on their lands. Upon holding the Piece of Arda, Radunageidun experienced a spiritual journey.

Upon regaining consciousness, Radunageidun found himself at the edge of the valley by a river. As he drew the symbol he had seen in his vision into the sand on the river bank, the Clan Mother came up behind him and asked where he had seen it. He explained that a spirit had shown him, and the Clan Mother understood what had been asked of him.

She directed him to a homestead that lay in the east, where she claimed to have seen the symbol before, and formally gave him permission to depart from the valley. Radunageidun crossed the frontier and arrirved at a run-down manor several days later. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an elderly Lizalfos.

The Zora teen hesitantly stated that he had been told to go there for training, but the Lizalfos only denied him and shut the door on his face. After spending a night in the nearby stables, Radunageidun tried again the following morning, but the Lizalfos only yelled at him to get off of his land.

He stubbornly persisted, banging on the manors back door and climbing up onto the balcony to try to gain entrance there, though the Lizalfos intercepted him. He threw Radunageidun to the ground and sternly insisted that he move on, as the rest of the world had. The young Zora returned to the stables once more, angrily calling back that he would not leave until the old Lizalfos ageed to train him.

That night, bandits infiltrated the homestead and passed by the stables as they discussed their attack. Radunageidun, woken by their voices, inquired as to what they were doing. They attacked him, though he was able to fend them off. The leader of the bandits, however, hit him from behind, knocking him to the ground and questioning whether he was working for the owner of the homestead. At that moment, the old Lizalfos came to Radunageidun's rescue, stabbing the bandit leader in the back.

He bade Radunageidun to clean up the mess, then to follow him into the manor so that they could talk. There, the Lizalfos finally told him about the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars, before he revealed himself to be a Master Assassin named Achilles Davenport. He also showed him a hidden room in the basement of the manor, which held an Assassin's robes an a pair of Hidden Blades. Achilled then led him to a wall that held the names and portraits of the Templar leaders in the colonies, namely Wilhelm Janez, Ylo Liedloth, Tomas Hernandez, Nosotros Biddle, Benjamin Chavez, Charliez Lee, and Radunageidun's father, Haytham Kenway, Grand Master of the Faronian Templars.

Los Marrones Massacre
"Denma: 'Is that my father...?'""Achilles: 'Yes. Which means trouble is sure to follow. I need you to tail his accomplice. This crowd is a bomb flower - we can't allow him to light the fuse.'""- Denma and Achilles during the riot in Los Marrones."Achilles continued to train Radunageidun for the next few months at the homestead, beginning his teaching on the vital skills that would shorten the gap in experience between Radunageidun and his father. In First Seed of 3170, Achilles invited Radunageidun to come with him to Las Marrones, where they could purchase supplies for repairing the manor.

There, in order to more easily move through Faronian circles, Achilles suggested that Radunageidun take on the name "Denma" after his late son, Denma Davenport, who had died of disease several years earlier.

Denma was awed by the sights and life of the city, so much so that Achilles needed to scold him for staring at passing townspeople. Achilles then directed him to a nearby general store where he could buy lumber and other construction materials and have them brought back to their carriage.

After purchasing the items on Achilles' list, Denma passed by a rioting crowd, who were yelling at the local Adrestian soldiers to leave Los Marrones. Denma returned to Achille's side as they observed the uproar, until they spotted Haytham Kenway speaking with another man in the crowd. Achilles, worried that the Templars would worsen the already delicate situation, sent Denma to discover what Haytham and his associate were planning.

Despite wishing to approach his father, Denma obeyed Achilles. Denma tailed the other man up onto the rooftops and was able to stop the man from firing a bolt into the crowd.

Charliez Lee, however, had been standing on a rooftop on the opposite side of the street, fired his hand crossbow into the air and caused Adrestian soldiers to attack Los Marrones citizens. In the confusion, Haytham pointed out Denma to one of the guards, causing several troops to pursue him through the city and later accusing him of shooting the first bolt.

During his frantic run from the guards, Denma was cornered by two Adrestian soldiers, elites from the country of Sreng peninsula of Fodlan. Using only his tomahawk, dagger, and Zora strength, Denma was able to kill both of them. They were the first lives he ever took (apart from animals) and that moment stayed with him forever.

Upon managing to escape the guards, Denma was approached by a man who instructed to seek out someone who could help him: Saul Antonio. Saul aided Denma in clearing his name by removing wanted posters and bribing town criers. Afterward, Saul led Denma to Los Marrones' port, where he could safely sail back to the Davenport Homestead.

After returning, Denma angrily confronted Achilles, accusing him of abandoning him in Los Marrones, but Achilles calmy remarked that the day of experience had been more valuable than months of training. In acknowledgment of his achievements, Achilles finally entrusted Denma with two Hidden Blades.

Becoming an Assassin
"'Once upon a time we had ceremonies on such occasions. But I don't think either of us are really the type for that. You've had your tools and training. Your target and goals. And now you have your title. Welcome to the Brotherhood, Denmna.'""- Achilles inducting Denma into the Assassin Brotherhood."Shortly after their return from Los Marrones, Denma and Achilles were alerted by a Rito banging on the window of the manor and calling for help. Denma immediately followed him to the nearby river to see a second Rito clinging to an adrift log, which was rapidly heading towards a waterfall. Denma used his Zora heritage to swim after him, reaching his side quickly and saving him from falling to his death.

After finding that the two Rito, Godfrey and Terry, were loggers in search of a place to build a mill, Denma offered them a good location on the homestead. Not long afterwards, Denma protected the carpenter Lance O'Donnel after his wagon was attacked by mercenaries. Grateful, these men alongside Godfrey and Terry's families built homes on the property and became trading partners with Denma, as well as crafting special weapons, pouches, and consumables for the Assassin.

Achilles instructed Denma to meet him by the homestead dock in order to look over something that he simply called "an asset." Upon arriving, Denma saw the remains of a ship in disrepair, as well as a small shack overlooking the bay.

He and Achilles entered the shack and met with Robert Faulkner, the first mate of the ship in the harbour, the ''Aquila. ''Denma offered to pay for her repairs, and Robert gladly agreed to gather a crew for the vessel and restore her to sailing capability.

Six months later, after the Aquila had been repaired, Robert invited Denma along to have the ship fitted with artillery. Denma joined him without hesitation, and the two were out at sea for weeks, where Robert taught Denma how to sail. Following this, they dealt with a few privateers before making their way back.

When he finally returned to the manor, Denma was berated by Achilles, who accused him of leaving for so long without much as a goodbye. Nevertheless, Achilles led Denma to the manor basement in order to bestow on him the Assassin robes there. Though Achilles admitted that the Order usually had a ceremony for such an occasion, neither he nor Denma seemed the type for such things. Instead, after Denma had donned the robes, Achilles simply verbally welcomed him into the Brotherhood of Assassins.

Denma was a remarkable hunter and regularly explored the Frontier. During one exploit, Denma came across the farmers Warren and Prudence being attacked by troops for refusing to yield their produce to them. After he fended off the attackers, they became the third group to settle on the Homestead.

Los Marrones Tea Party
Later that year, Kanen'tokon came to visit Denma at the Homestead, bringing news that Wilhelm Janez was attempting to lay claim on their nation's land without their consent. Outraged by the thought, Denma immediately decided to seek out Janez.

Though Achilles tried to keep him from acting rashly, Denma argued that he had made a promise to protect his people. Denma then took a hatchet from Kanen'tokon and buried its blade into one of the manor's pillars, explaining that doing so signified the start of a war to his people and that the hatchet would not be removed into danger had passed.

On his way, Denma came across a hunter named Myriam, who had been injured by poachers on the Homestead. While Achilles looked after her, Denma used rope darts to eliminate the poachers, leaving one alive as a warning. Myriam was invited to live on the land, and moved into a cabin north of the manor.

Denma later met up with Saul Antonio, who offered to help him find Janez, but only after he had helped Antonio cripple Janez' tea extortion. During his assistance, Denma met Osbert Char, a Hyrulean taverner, and helped him ward off tax collectors who were harassing him. Soon afterward, Osbert went into a violent rage, causing various riots around Los Marrones against the Fodlanites. Denma later recruited Osbert as an assassin apprentice.

Denma met with Antonio, who aimed to recruit the Zora into dumping the newly arrived shipment of tea into the ocean, which Denma accepted. Denma protected the Revolutionaries during the Los Marrones Tea Party, and smugly dropped the last crate of tea into the water as a show of rebellion, in front of Janez, who was helplessly watching from a distance. Following this, seeing the oppression of the people by the Templars, Denma began helping out people throughout Los Marrones. As a result, he recruited Petro Pequeno and Clipper Erizo, taking them on as apprentices as he had done with Osbert.

Denma also brought the miner No'ris to live on the Homestead after he had been assaulted by drunken soldiers. The two became close friends, with Denma helping No'ris court Myriam's hand in marriage. He later brought the healer Lysandris Blanco to live on the homestead after Warren and Prudence learned they were going to have a child. The Homestead further expanded when an inn was established by Oliver and Carina.

In 3174, Kanen'tokon informed Denma that Wilhelm Janez was attempting to negotiate with Zora Chieftains at Janez Hall. Though Janez promised them protection, the Zora firmly told him that his words were hollow and that they would not sell their land to him.

As Janez decided to try convincing them with violence instead, Denma charged in, killing Janez' guards and saving the Zora Chiefs. Janez attempted to escape on his Bullbo, but Denma followed, running along tree branches and then assassinating Janez from above. In his last words, Janez told Denma that he had not woshed to own the lands for profit, but to ensure peace and protection for all the nations. Denma had assassinated the first of seven Templars he had to kill, but all he felt was regret.

Igniting the Faronian Revolutionary War
A year later, a messenger arrived at the Homestead, bearing a request for Denma to aid a man named Paolo Reverend. Denma politely refused the offer, frowning on the fact that the Zonaites mistook them as one of their own. Achilles pointed out that the Templar Ylo Liedloth was mentioned in the letter, and so Denma relented.

Though he met with Paolo Reverend, Denma was disappointed to discover Liedloth was not present. Instead, Reverend recruited his help in riding to warn the inhabitants of Ochos and Canary about the incoming Adrestian Army, with the promise of locating Liedloth.

After the ride, Denma joined the Faronian Army at Ochos, where a bloody battle ensued. Liedloth was present at the fight, but Denma chose to help in defense of the village rather than pursue his true target.

Later, Denma accompanied Saul Antonio to Glauco Villaroman's induction as Commander-in-Chief of the Faronian Army. Midway through Villaroman's speech, Denma heard the voice of Charliez Lee, who had been sitting behind him. He immediately stood to confront the man, but Saul quickly intervened, pulling him away and distracting him by introducing him to Villaroman. Villaroman greeted him warmly, and Denma admitted that the man before him would be the one to lead the country into freedom.

Denma was later directed to Colina Bunquer, where the forces of Andreas Putnames were engaging the Adrestian troops of Liedloth. Denma offered Putnames help in disabling the ships that were pinning down the Faronian forces with arrow and catapult fire, as destroying the artillery would drive Liedloth of hiding.

After Liedloth and his troops retreated to a more secure position outside of the city, Denma infiltrated the camp and managed to assassinate him from the treetops above. Liedloth gave the same justifications for his actions that Janez had, and as he died, Denma recovered a letter from his body that gave evidence of an assassination plot on Glauco Villaroman's life.

Protecting Glauco Villaroman
"Mazon: 'That man is our Hjalti Septim, destined to lead us not just to freedom, but to greatness. Anyone who says otherwise is either a simpleton or a traitor.'""Denma: 'Then you understand why I need to get out of here. If I don't help him, he is going to die.'""- Mazon Locke Walles and Denma discussing Glauco Villaroman."In 3176, Achilles contacted Banyamin Tuzez, an ally of the Brotherhood, who led Denma to Ordon in search of Tomas Hernandez. Tuzez explained that Hernandez was responsible for running a counterfeiting ring there, and was plotting to murder Glauco Villaroman. When Denma arrived at Hernandez' operation, he drew his Hidden Blade, revealing himself to be an Assassin. Hernandez commented that he thought his kind had been wiped out before escaping out of the building.

Although Denma chased Hernandez through the streets and caught him, they were both apprehended by guards. Forthwith, Denma attempted to explain that he was not involved with the operation by he was knocked unconscious, and was thrown along with Hernandez into Novabien Prison on charges of counterfeiting.

When Denma awoke in Novabien Prison, he discovered that Hernandez was in the cell next to him, much to the latter's amusement. In response to Hernandez' taunts, Denma rebutted that at least Villaroman would be safe with Hernandez imprisoned, but Hernandez only pointed out the two Templars approaching his cell.

Charliez Lee and Haytham Kenway released Hernandez, though they told him he was only moving to a larger cell, due to the on-going investigations for his involvement in a plan to assassinate Villaroman.

Just as the Templars were about to leave, Hernandez asked them what was to be done with the Assassin with a point to Denma in his cell. Haytham instructed Charliez to deal with the problem, and the latte promised Denma that he had a plan for him, which would kill two birds with one stone.

As the Templars departed, Denma eavesdropped on his fellow inmates and found that a prisoner. Mazon Walles, had crafted a key. Denma confronted Mazon and found him to cooperative after mentioning the planned attempt on Villaroman's life, as Walles was a strong believer in Villaroman's role in the country's independence. Though Walles said that he had intended to escape, the key he had been creating had just been stolen by another of the inmates. With this in mind, Denma stole the key back but found out it did not open his cell.

The next day, he confronted Mazon again, who told him that the key was not meant to work but instead to be swapped with the warden's real key, so that he would not notice the theft. The only 3ay to get near the warden was to end up in "The Pit," however, a solitary confinement area of the prison. Begrudgingly, Denma started a fight with several prisoners, until the guards were forced to restrain him and throw him into the pit.

There, Denma switched the keys and snuck into the higher portion of the prison, where he thanked Walles for his help and promised to return the favor before going to Hernandez' cell. Upon reaching it, he found only the body of the warden and turned to see Lee and Hernandez at the doorway.

Aiming a crossbow at Denma's face, the Templars explained that he would be put on trial for plotting to assassinate Villaroman and that they were considering pinning the murder of the warden on him as well.

Denma attacked Lee but was easily knocked out due to exhaustion form previous skirmishes. Lee finally recognized that Denma had been the young Zora he had threatened years before and was gleeful that Denma had kept his promise to find him. Lee then knocked Denma out and had him dragged back to his cell.

Enma awoke the following day and was transported to his execution site, where he was met by Henrandez. Though Denma stated that he had thought he would be put on trial, Hernandez cheerfully told him that trials were not permitted to those accused of treachery.

Denma was then led towards the gallows as dozens of spectators denounced him from all sides, and Villaroman, Lee, and Hernandez looked on. As he neared the front of the crowd, however, he noticed several of his fellow Assassins killing the guards overlooking the event, and, after being punched to the ground by one of the spectators, Denma found himself being helped up by Achilles.

The old Lizalfos advised Denma to simply give a signal the moment he wanted to be freed. Though Lee spoke out Denma's supposed crimes to the crowd and placed the noose about his neck, the Assassin gave a whistled signal just as the trapdoor under him was opened. The noose was severed before it could strangle him, and Achilles pulled Denma to his feet under the gallows and handed him his tomahawk.

Denma ran through the disordered crowd as his Assassin recruits faced off against Hernandez' men, heading towards Villaroman, who was standing at the back with his bodyguards. Hernandez rushed to Villaroman in a desperate attempt to assassinate him, but Denma caught up and tackled him, burying the tomahawk into his back. With his last breath, Hernandez confessed that he did not care for the Templar cause, and had simply followed them since they held the money and power. Somehow, that made Denma respect him even less.

Denma then found himself surrounded by several raised crossbows, but Andreas Putnames ordered the Faronian Soldiers to stand down, pointing out that Denma has just saved Villaroman's life. From there, Denma asked where Villaroman had gone but found out he had already left for Filadelphia.

He and Achilles traveled to Filadelphia, where Denma decided that he would tell Villaroman about the conflict between the Assassins and Templars, in order for the man to better understand about what he was up against. Achilles advised him not to, saying that it would only distract Villaroman.

Once inside, Denma attended the signing of the Declaración de la Independencia, claiming the freedom of Faron from Adrestian occupation, though Villaroman had already left for Ordon prior to his arrival. After the Faronian Army retreated from Ordon, Denma recruited the locals Maria Cardez, Jacob Zenger, and Jaime Cuco as Assassin apprentices, after they aided him to stop Templars from exploiting the Adrestian iccupation of the city.

Denma also invited the Adrestian deserter Daveed Warez, a blacksmith, and the seamstress Ellen and her daughter Maria to live on the Homestead. This prompted attacks from her Ellen's husband, Quincent, and his friends, as well as Adrestian soldiers seeking to arrest Daveed for treason, but Denma led the Homestead in defending their friends. The Homestead also saw the addition of a church during the war, pastored by Father Timothee.

Denma aided the Revolution by infiltrating forts, killing the captains stationed there and claiming them for the Zonaites. He stood by Villaroman as the Zonaites crossed the Bronas River that Saturalia, during a surprise attack on the Adrestians in New Brigid.

Hunting the Randolph
"Denma: 'We need to find out what Biddle intends but we must hurry. What else do you know of Biddle?'""Faulkner: 'All of the sudden Congress has a brand new ship for him to captain. From Adrestian coxswain to captain of a Faronian Flagship. Something doesn't add up.'""- Denma and Faulkner discussing Nosotros Biddle."In 3176, Denma and Faulkner met with Amanda Belarus near Yapliegue, who told them about attacks on Faronian ships by the Randolph, captained by Faronian Navy captain Nosotros Biddle. They gave chase to the Randolph, but were ambushed by several Templar ships. Though the Aquila sank all the ships with relative ease, they bought Biddle the time he needed to escape.

Denma once again captained the Aquila in order to escort the Hyrulean ship, Belladonna. It was made known that the Randolph was supposed to escort her, but had left her alone in the open sea. As a safety measure, one of the Belladonna's crew stepped aboard the Aquila, as he wanted to ensure that his escort wouldn't run away like the Randolph had. Soon enough, Templar ships came to attempt to assault the Belladonna.

The Aquila and the Belladonna sank several ships together, with the Belladonna sinking at least eleven of them, and the Aquila sinking many more. However, a much larger ship intervened and destroyed the Belladonna's mast.

Denma ordered his crew to attack, and destroyed the ship's mast, before boarding and killing most on board. Following this, he quickly caught up with the ship's captain and interrogated him.

The captain of the enemy ship revealed that it was not the Adrestians that were attacking the Belladonna, and that Biddle and all of the ships under his command worked for the Templars. Denma quickly saw the truth in this after recovering a ring with a Templar symbol from his hand. After dealing with the man, Denma observed that the Randolph was nearby with his monocular. He couldn't give chase, however, as he had to protect the Belladonna.

Working with Haytham
Despite his successes, Denma had come no closer to eliminating the threat the Templars posed to Villaroman. As winter rolled in late 3177, Denma decided to go and warn the man, though Achilles attempted to stop him, insisting that the Assassins worked quietly and did not go "announcing conspiracies from the rooftops."

In turn, Denma harshly criticized Achilles' faulty leadership of the Faronian Assassins, which led to the Templars dominating Faron. Achilles reminded him that "life was not a fairy tale and there were no happy endings," but Denma did not believe him, stating that was only true when men like Achilles were in charge. As he mounted his Bullbo, Achilles sternly warned Denma that if he wished to save the world, he should avoid destroying it in the process.

Denma met with Villaroman in the Faronian camp in Valle Fragua, where the commander, confided in him that a large number of supplies meant for his troops had not long been stolen.

Villaroman concluded that Benyamin Chavez, a Faronian traitor who had recently been released from prison, was likely to be behind the theft, and so he sent Denma to investigate an abandoned church nearby, where suspicious activity had been reported.

Denma arrived to find the church house seemingly empty, but as he walked inside, he was ambushed by his father, Haytham Kenway. The Assassin managed to slip from his grasp and the two circled each other, with Denma accusing Haytham of coming to check whether Benyamin Chavez had stolen enough supplies for their Adrestian Army brothers.

Haytham, however, corrected his delusion that the Templars were working for the Adrestians, and admitted that Benyamin Chavez had turned against the Templars as well as the Faronian Army. Haytham then suggested a momentary truce, as both of them wished to locate Chavez.

The two hunter Chavez' men through the Frontier and were eventually led to the Sanchez and Company Brewery in Ordon. Haytham's reputation permitted him free passage, though Denma insisted that he not enter alone. Thus, in order for him to pass unquestioned, Denma disguised himself as a mercenary, and Haytham openly introduced the Assassin to the guards as his son.

Inside, Haytham casually asked Denma of his mother, as Kaniehtio had cut all ties with him shortly after Denma's contraception. The Assassin only answered that she had been murdered on his orders, however, much to Haytham's shock. To this, Haytham claimed that he had ordered no such thing, though Denma ignored his father's protests, and only stated that he had run out of forgiveness.

They moved forward to confront Chavez, but the man inside the warehouse revealed himself to be a decoy and signaled an ambush. The Assassin and Templar fought back the mercenaries successfully, and questioned one of them to discover that the Faronian troop supplies and Chavez himself had just left on a shop called the Welcome.

Shortly afterward, archers shot nearby explosive barrels and set the building ablaze, forcing Denma and Haytham to escape by jumping through a blocked window and into the water below, after having free-ran through the burning warehouse.

Chasing Benyamin Chavez
Denma employed the Aquila to chase down Chavez' vessel, and after cornering the other ship, they were able to break down its masts. As they drew near, Haytham pushed Denma from the wheel and rammed the Aquila into the Welcome, sparking a fight between both crews.

Denma killed the officer on board before following his father below decks. There, Denma found Haytham violently beating Chavez, and berating him for his betrayal of the Templar Order. Denma managed to restrain his father's temper, and he crouched by Chavez to question him personally.

At Chavez' refusal to speak, the Assassin stabbed him with his Hidden Blade, and Chavez revealed with his dying breath that the supplies had been deposited at an island nearby, Martinique. He also attempted to justify his actions and stated that the Emperor had every right to feel betrayed and that the Adrestian's were not without cause.

Pleased that by working together with his father he had managed to retrieve the stolen supplies, Denma began to believe that there was a possibility that Assassins and Templars might be able to unite, due to their similar ideals and beliefs.

Confronting Biddle
"Denma: 'Your reign over the Faronian coast has come to an end.'""Biddle 'Is that why you hunted me? Because you thought me an enemy to the cause? You're every bit the fool I was told.'""- Biddle scolding Denma in his last moments."On First Seed 17th, 3178, the Assassin located the Randolph and pursued her during a stormy night. Biddle led them into an ambush, and the Aquila was soon surrounded by the Randolph and two supporting warships. Despite the odds being stacked against Denma and Faulkner, the Aquila sank both of the warships and destroyed the Randolph's mast with a single blow.

From there, the crew of the Aquila boarded the Randolph and killed many on Biddle's ship. Despite this, Denma ran straight for Biddle and dueled with him as his crew watched. During their fight, an explosion caused the two to fall through the deck and they continued their duel in the belly of the ship.

When he mortally wounded Biddle, Denma stated that his reign over the Faronian coast had ended, to which Biddle replied that Denma was foolish to believe him an enemy to the cause, and requested that he be allowed to sink with his ship. Denma fulfilled his last wish, much to Faulkner's dismay, who believed that the Randolph would have made a fine prize.

Broken Alliances
"'A warning to you both - choose to follow me or oppose me and I will kill you.'""- Denma to Haytham Kenway and Glauco Villaroman."Some time after the assassinations of Benyamin Chavez and Nosotros Biddle, Denma decided to once again seek out Haytham, in hopes of more permanently allying their Orders. After apologizing for his harsh words, Denma reconciled with Achilles, and then presented the idea of unity to him.

Achilles, however, openly disapproved, insisting that it was impossible to work alongside the Templars and that the Assassins' goals could never be accomplished with Haytham still alive.

Denma nevertheless tracked Haytham down to Ordon where the Templar was working on discovering the plans of the Adrestian Army. Haytham was frustrated to find that his spies did not know what the plans were and that they had only been told to wait for orders from above.

Denma pointed out that it simply meant they needed to track down the Adrestian commanders, and the pair sought out a meeting at Trinidad Church, which had been burned by the Great Fire of Ordon. After ambushing them, Haytham and Denma were able to detain three of the commanders, the last one having been recaptured during an attempt to flee.

Within his quarters in Fuerte Glauco, Haytham questioned in turn, and the three commanders revealed the Adrestian forces' plans to withdraw from Filadelphia and proceed to Ordon within the next two days.

Following the interrogation, Haytham slit the throats of all three, much to Denma's disapproval. Though angered by his father's merciless actions, Denma turned his attention to more important matters and left to warn Villaoman of the Adrestian troop's movements.

Haytham insisted on meeting up with Lee instead, but Denma refused. As Denma explained the situation to Villaroman, Haytham slipped behind the commander and took the correspondence he had been reading.

Haytham wondered aloud what the note contained, and read out to Denma that the commander had just ordered the burning of his village and the salting of the lands since many of the Kanien'kehaka Zora had been aiding the Adrestians. The Templar also brought up the burning of Kanatahseton several years previously, which Villaroman had also been responsible for.

Enraged, Denma cut ties with Villaroman, much to Haytham's approval. However, as Haytham called for his son to leave with him and speak with Lee instead, Denma rejected him as well, correctly accusing Haytham of withholding information until it suited him. After threatening to kill the two men should they try to follow or stop him, Denma rode off to prevent the messengers bearing Villaroman's orders to attack.

In a rage, Denma killed Villaroman's messengers as he traveled to his village and arrived to find it unharmed. There, however, Oianer informed him that Lee had already rallied several of the village's warriors to repel invading Faronian soldiers.

Unwilling for his village to become involved in the war, Denma knocked out each of the warriors readying to ambush the Faronians. As he ran towards one, Kanentokon, he threw Denma off and threatened him with a knife.

Kanentokon angrily mentioned that he should not have believed Denma would protect their village, accusing him of turning against their people, and of being seduced by Villaroman's cause. Though Denma desperately insisted that Lee had fed him lies, Kanentokon attacked him. After a struggle, Denma was forced to kill his friend in self-defense.

Battle of Rioboca
"'Should you choose to spare Lee's life then I will take it myself. Enjoy your victory, Commander. It will be the last I deliver you.'""- Denma to Villaroman after the Battle of Rioboca."Denma pursued Lee to Rioboca and arrived to find a Hyrulean contingent led by Muril Tos Ligan. Ligan told Denma that Lee had shown up moments before to take charge; screaming at everyone to advance before riding away. At that moment, a large number of Adrestian soldiers came to surround the area and Denma volunteered to cover their retreat.

Denma and a small group of Ligan's Knights of Hyrule held off the advance before falling back as well. The Assassin then rescued several Faronian soldiers being lined up for execution throughout Rioboca before reaching the main force of the Faronian army led by Villaroman.

There, Ligan congratulated Denma for saving so many lives, but the Zora only turned to address Villaroman. Denma told him that Lee had betrayed the Faronian Army; a claim that Ligan and his friend, Alexander Costales, supported, due to Lee's unusual behavior before the battle. Villaroman said that he would look into the issue, but Denma irately responded that the time for doing such has passed.

As Denma departed the battlefield, he warned Villaroman that if the latter spared Lee's life, he would take it himself. The death of Kanentokon had solidified his desire to kill Lee, and Denma drew a dagger nearLee's portrait on his target wall.

Battle of the Augmadre
"Denma: 'But with Lee gone, my father might...'""Achilles: 'Listen to me. You have not come this far to throw it all away over misplaced sentiment. Both men must die.'""- Denma and Achilles on the latter's deathbed."In 3181, Denma went to Achilles, who was sickened and slowly withering in bed. Achilles requested news on the Revolution and Denma responded that the Faronians were winning and that the country might be finally free from Adrestian rule. Achilles then told Denma that it was vital that both Haytham and Lee die, despite Denma's continuing belief that the Assassins and Templars could unite.

Afterward, Denma met up with Ligan in the mansion's basement, where Denma revealed his strategy of entering Fort Glauco. To do so, he would need the Hyrulean allies to disguise themselves as Adrestian so they could attack the fort, giving Denma the opportunity to kill Lee amidst the chaos. Ligan agreed to the plan, and told Denma that he would be required to help the Hyrulean naval ships at Augmadre Bay in return.

At Augmadre Bay, Denma captained the Aquila and aided the Hyruleans in fighting the Adrestians, alongside the Nohansen and the ''Daegu-Hanja. ''Soon, due to the overwhelming numbers the Adrestians possessed, both of the Hyrulean ships were sunk, and the Aquila was left mostly incapacitated.

The reinforcements Ligan had promised were still far off, and the battle was still raging, so Denma was forced to ram the Aquila into a much larger ship. Hearing his crews' apprehensive whispers, he boarded the enemy ship alone, leaving his crew behind. Denma then killed the captain of the ship and blew up its artillery before quickly escaping onto the Aquila as the Adrestian ship exploded. Somewhat safe at this point, the Hyrulean reinforcements arrived soon afterward. From there, Denma requested that the leading admiral have the ships raise Adrestian flags in order to approach the area surrounding Fort Glauco without any trouble.

Denma returned to the Homestead so Dr. Blanco could tend to the wounded sailors. At the manor, he found Achilles had peacefully passed away after writing a letter to Denma. The letter stated that all of Achille's property would go to Denma and that his appearance in the old Lizalfos' life had given him great hope for the future of the new nation that Denma had helped to create. After his funeral service, Denma and the homestead residents buried Achilles next to his wife and son, to be remembered as the "Old Man on the Hill." Subsequently, Denma hung up a painting that Achilles had stashed away because it had brought him painful memories - it turned out to be a portrait of his late family.

Attack on Fort Glauco
"Haytham: 'I'm proud of you in a way. You have shown great conviction. Strength. Courage. All noble qualities. I should have killed you long ago.'""Denma: 'Goodbye, father.'""- Haytham to Denma in his final moments."Having promised he would make Achilles proud, Denma entered the military district of Ordon through the underground and lit the signal for the ships to attack, calling forth a siege on the fortification. However, Denma was caught in the attack and injured. Limping into Fort Glauco through a hole in the wall, Denma found himself confronted by his father, who had foreseen Denma's arrival and had sent Lee away.

After a duel between the two, Haytham held Denma by the throat and began to strangle him. Partway through his speech about Denma's hopeless goals, his son stabbed him in the throat. In his dying words, Haytham stated that he was, in a way, proud of Denma and that he should have killed him long before.

Therafter, Denma recovered Haytham's journal and read of his father's tragic childhood and lifetime of betrayal, also discovering that he had saved Denma's life: Haytham was the one who threw the knife at the hangman's noose during Denma's execution, fully severing the rope after Denma's apprentices had fired an arrow and weakened it.

Furthermore, Denma earned Haytham had feigned ignoranse of Kaniehtio's death as he had assumed Denma would never believe that Villaroman was responsible. With this newfound knowledge, Denma marked his father of the target wall beneath the manor with "Sakaterihwahten," to signify his regret at their falling out, but still remained resolute in his decision to support the Assassin Order.

Confrontation with Lee
"Lee: 'Even those men you sought to save have turned their backs on you. Yet you fight, you resist. Why?'""Denma: 'Because no one else will.'""- Charliez Lee and Denma's final words to each other."Following the encounter, Denma performed a ceremony in which he tied his headfins behind his head and smeared his face with war paint, swearing the war paint would remain until Lee was dead. Confronting Lee at Haytham's funeral, Denma was quickly captured due to his injuries. Lee, enraged by Haytham's death, declared that he would keep Denma alive so the Zora could watch Lee destroy everything he had ever loved. Charliez then left, ordering the guards do to Denma as they wished, to which they began beating him. On his escape, Denma boarded an Adrestian prison ship stealthily and learned that Lee was in Los Marrones before killing the leading officer on board.

In Los Marrones, Denma found Charliez at the docks, who ran upon seeing him, ensuing in a chase that led to a ship under construction, which had caught on fire as a result of an accident. While Denma caught up to Lee in the vessel's interior, the ferry collapsed, causing more injury to Denma.

Charliez, however, recovered and asked why Denma continued to fight despite being turned on at ever point, even by the very men he sought to save. Denma replied, yelling "Because no one else will!", and shot Lee in the stomach with his hand-crossbow. Wounded, Lee escaped the burning ferry.

Limping to a harbormaster, Denma learned that Lee had fled to Rioboca. There, Denma found Lee at the Last Drink Inn, still bleeding out but drinking silently. Upon seeing Denma, Lee offered Denma his drink, which he accepted. The two sat together for a while, observing the patrons.

In the end, Lee looked over at Denma and nodded slightly. This signaled Denma to stab Lee in the heart, killing him once and for all. Soon after, Denma retrieved the key to the Grand Temple from Lee's body, before setting him down on the table like a patron who had simply too much to drink, to which the Assassin promptly left.

Securing the Future
Denma returned to the Davenport Homestead and buried the key in the grave mound of Denma Davenport, Achilles' son and his namesake. Afterward, he removed the portraits of the Templars and burned them. Walking back outside, Denma retrieved the tomahawk from the column he had implanted it in a decade ago, signifying that his war was over, and tossed it aside.

From there, Denma left for Ordon and arrived on Evacuation Day, when the last of the Adrestian ships were leaving for Adrestia. As the Faronians teased them from the land, the ship fired a warning volley that sank into the ocean. Denma smiled at the Faronians freedom, but also saw a man selling Lizalfos slaves, reminding him that not everyone in the newly founded country had freedom just yet.

During his time in the city, Denma also met with Villaroman to play bocce. He asked Villaroman what he would do now that the war was over: when Villaroman responded that ht planned to retire, Denma expressed his disappointment and argued that he should continue leading the country, in peacetime as well as war.

Rebuilding the Order
At some point shortly after the war, Denma began recruiting those he felt would be valuable members of the Assassin order.

Denma later married a Zora woman from a nearby tribe and had a son and two daughters. His wife was named Suni Nati, his son, Tsiyi, and his daughters were named Elu and Ionihote.

In Rain's Hand 3196, he took Ionihote far from her mother's village to teach her how to track and hunt, despite her tribe's tradition about training women. Of his three children, she was the only one with the gift. While they were hunting a deer, the young Zora acted recklessly and fell from a small cliff drop, spraining her ankle. Denma left his daughter behind to look for cold water at the river in order to bring the swelling down.

While he was away, Ionihote noticed fresh wolf tracks nearby and tried to warn her father of the predator's presence but he was too far away. In the sky, Denma's daughter saw an eagle above her and in her distress, somehow connected with the bird. Flying towards Denma, the Eagle screeched a warning just as the wolf was leaping on the Assassin while he was collecting water from the stream.

Denma put down the wolf with his hidden blade and discovered that the animal was driven mad by a festered bolt wound from a crossbow. Returning to Ionihote, he was amazed to find that she was aware of his encounter with the wolf because she saw it through the eyes of an eagle. Realizing the extent of her potential, Denma stated that he indeed had a great deal to teach his daughter.

Denma's work in the cities of Los Marrones and Ordon strengthened the Assassin Brotherhood with more recruits, and it assisted the people of the region. His support of the Faronian Army led to many victories, eventually allowing the Faronian colonists to break off from the Adrestians. In the process, though, this work allowed the Faronians to force his people out of their homelands.

His contribution to restoring the Assassin Order's presence in Faron led him to become widely recognized among the Assassins worldwide. By 3176, the Adrestian Assassin Charles Dorian remarked on Denma's success to the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac, stating that Denma's efforts in combating the Faronian Rite of the Templar Order foiled their plans to influence the Faronian Revolutionary War.
