Name: Edward Brodess
Born: June 14, 1801; Dorchester County, Maryland
Died: March 9, 1849; Bucktown, Maryland (age 47)
Allegiance: Templars

Born on a Maryland plantation in 1801, Brodess was born and raised to be an advocate of slavery. His father died in 1803 and his mother in 1810, leaving him to be raised by his stepfather, Dr. Anthony Thompson, who raised him in the ways of the Templar Order, teaching him such abominable views regarding slaves such as teaching him that they were mere property and that slavery was necessary for Southern society to function and maintain order. Thompson purchased a house for Brodess in 1822, however the two had a serious falling out that led to Brodess abandoning Bucktown, not returning to live in the home for another year. He married a woman named Elizabeth Ann Keene in 1824, and she moved in with him.

One of Brodess’s slaves was a woman famously known as Harriet Tubman, who Brodess often sold out to men around Cambridge and at times was threatened with being sold to the deep south, where she knew much harsher punishments would await her, even more harsh than what Brodess inflicted on his slaves. Brodess became renowned for his brutality and dedication to the Templar cause, making him a top target for the Assassins.

In 1848, Brodess was given a Key to a Precursor Temple that had been stolen from the Assassins Priscilla Spainhower and Aveza Bellamy earlier that year. This put an even bigger target on his head, and in 1849 he was assassinated by Priscilla, though by then the Key had already been passed on to Templar Grand Master John C. Calhoun. Priscilla later traveled to his plantation and helped his slave Harriet Tubman escape to the North along the Underground Railroad where she could obtain her freedom.
