Part of

Templar HuntsTemplar hunts are assassination contracts on the Templar agents who prop up each borough's Blighter leader in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Each target comes with its own challenge, such as a specific kill method, and taking them out helps push the borough toward its gang war.

Found in

The StrandThe Strand is London's shopping and theatre borough, a busy, well-off district full of parks, shops and easy pickpocket targets. The Templar Victor Lynch rules it in 1868, and it holds the Alhambra Music Hall, Scotland Yard and St. Pancras station.

Good to know

Borough: The Strand.
Target: Louis Blake.
Challenge: kill the target with a headshot.
You find him mid-speech, which gives you a stationary target.

The speech

Blake argues that England needs cheap, fast labour to stay ahead of other nations and that putting children back to work would toughen up the crowd's sons. He finishes by inviting parents to sign their children up with him, and usually wins over one or two listeners.

The Strand context

Blake is one of Victor Lynch's Templars. The Strand's other Templar hunts are Argus and Rose Bartlett and Peter Needham; its bounties are Sylvia Duke, Milton King and Gilbert Fowler, and its Blighter strongholds are Clare Market and St. Giles Rookery.

Meeting the challenge

A headshot means a gun or another ranged weapon aimed at his head. Because he stays put on his platform while speaking, you can line up the shot from a distance; take it from cover so the crowd does not close in before you fire.

Background

His parents sent him to Cambridge hoping it would calm his tongue, but the education only made him a bolder speaker, and he now tours the city's parks recruiting for his cause.
