“ | To fight beside a man so driven by personal gain and glory is a hard thing, Edward. And I have come to feel the Assassins - and their creed - a more honourable course. | „ |
~ Adéwalé to Edward Kenway, 1721 |
“ | I feel a tide changing within me. I am no longer young. I must devote my energy to those who struggle for freedom. I will use my conviction in my Creed to defend them, alongside anyone who will help me. | „ |
~ Adéwalé, upon explaining his new role to his future wife, Bastienne Joseph, 1737 |
Summary
Adéwalé (1692 – 1758) was a former slave-turned-pirate from Trinidad, and later a member of the West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins. He was the father of Babatunde Josèphe, grandfather of Eseosa, and is an ancestor to Milton Jones.
During the early 18th century, Adéwalé served as Edward Kenway's quartermaster aboard the Jackdaw before eventually assuming the captaincy of his own vessel, the Victoire, and later the Experto Crede in 1735. That year, he briefly set aside his duties as an Assassin in order to aid the Maroon rebellion in Saint Domingue.
Adéwalé later aided the French in the Seven Years' War and confronted his former captain's son and Grand Master of the Templar Order, Haytham Kenway, and the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac, valiantly leading a last stand against them and ultimately falling to Shay's blade.

Additionally, Adéwalé proved to be a capable swimmer as he was able to hold his breath for a relatively long period of time, and was capable of fending off against various hostile sea creatures during his underwater explorations.
