In the opening memories
George briefs the twins before A Spanner in the Works and A Simple Plan: Jacob takes Ferris at his ironworks, Evie takes Brewster at his laboratory. When they report back and push for London, George says the Templars are still too strong and the Assassin Council knows better, which is what Ethan would have said. After he leaves, the twins hop a train to the city anyway.
Later in 1868SpoilerShow
Evie writes to George after the Tower of London, asking him to find a book of her father's about the Shroud. Months later George comes to London himself, hears from Henry what the twins have achieved and reassures him that the Brotherhood needs thinkers as well as fighters. He leaves Henry the book, which explains what the Shroud can do.
Beyond Syndicate
Other Assassin's Creed stories show George working with Ethan in the early 1860s and later partnering with the Assassin Pierrette Arnaud through the 1870s and 1880s.
