Bio[edit]
Born: 1705
Reginald Birch was a London merchant, son of another London merchant (who, conveniently enough, also had the last name Birch. It seems it was one of thise hard-to-put-your-finger-on-things that ran in the family).
Birch started in business for himself at an early age. By the time he was in his mid-20s, he already owned several merchant ships, mainly dealing with the tea trade to the American Colonies. That's pretty good going, seeing as by the time most people are in their mid-20s they don't even own a shirt. I have him as part owner of Providence, among others.
Later, Birch owned several businesses in London. He was a member of White's, which was a posh Gentleman's club in London - and generally a well-known and respected man-about-town.
Birch encountered Haytham Kenway, who was the son of Birch's rival Edward Kenway, at a young age. Birch met Haytham while looking for his father, Edward. They were introduced at White's while Haytham was still quite young. Birch would eventually take over Haytham's education - tutoring him while on a tour of Europe in the 1730s. Their friendship continued into adulthood, with them working together as members of the Assassins.
Birch convinced Haytham to switch over from the side of the Assassins to the side of the Templars. In 1754, after Haytham managed to get the key to the Grand Temple, Birch secured passage to Boston for Haytham to find the First Civilization storehouse as well as establish a Templar presence in British America.
