Name: William Dudley
Born: 1766; Fredericksburg, Virginia
Died: May 5, 1813; Fort Meigs, Ohio (age 46-47)
Allegiance: Templars

Bio: William Dudley was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia to Robert Dudley and Joyce Gayle in 1766. As a young man, William went to seek his fortune west of the Appalachian Mountains, and in 1792 he eventually wound up in Fayette County, Kentucky, where he settled down and married a woman named Lucy Smith. He served as the local magistrate for several years there, and his skills attracted the attention of the Templar Order. One day, he was approached by Grand Master Shay Patrick Cormac, who offered him a place in the Order. Dudley accepted, but as time went one he and Shay seemed to butt heads more and more, as Dudley believed Shay was too soft in his exercise of power. Nonetheless, Dudley served the Order as her could and answered the call when he was needed. By the time the Templars kickstarted the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, Dudley was a colonel in the 13th Regiment of Kentucky Militia.

In spring 1813, Dudley marched with his men under the command of General Green Clay to Fort Meigs in order to meet with fellow Templar William Henry Harrison, who was busy defending the fort from behind bombarded by the Assassins and their allies in the British Army. Harrison ordered Clay to have his men attack the British and disable the enemy cannons. Dudley launched his attack on May 5, and while he succeeded in driving them off, Clay's plan fell apart due to the man in charge of spiking the cannons accidentally landed on the other side of the river.

In desperation, the Americans made another attempt to attack and disable the cannons with their crude weapons. The enemy Natives under the command of the Assassin Tecumseh managed to surround Dudley’s men and pretty soon the Americans surrendered. Dudley himself was killed during the fight by the Assassin Aveza Deryn. Afterwards, the Natives began to slaughter the prisoners they had taken in cold blood, vengeful over their fallen friends and families. The British Army did nothing to stop them, being under the command of the lazy and arrogant Henry Procter. Tecumseh caught up with the men and was infuriated at the carnage. He gave a speech shaming the bloody actions, and convinced his brothers to stop and prove that they are better than the Americans whom they fought. Tecumseh then scolded Procter, thanked Aveza and her friend Arnold for their help, and continued to lead the siege against Fort Meigs.

The slaughter would come to be known as Dudley’s Massacre.
