Lawrence begins to walk the grounds, giving Shay the perfect chance to kill him. A dying Lawrence thanks Shay for giving him a quick death. This causes Shay to have displeasure in killing an already dying man.
9 Samuel Smith
Samuel Smith is chased by the Assassins as he sails towards a camp. Smith leads the Assassins into a trap, but the Morrigan sinks all of the ships. Smith tries one more trick by using burning oil on the water, but the Assassins stay right behind him.
Shay follows Smith into the camp, with Smith trying to persuade the Assassin to spare his life. Shay attacks the defenseless man, who in his death says that the victory is a hollow one.
8 James Wardrop
After the death of Lawrence Washington, James Wardrop was put in charge of the Templars in the colonies. Wardrop was at the Albany Congress, but was fearful after the death of Samuel Smith. He sends for a captain to get a manuscript, who Shay assassinates and sneaks into the fort Wardrop is hiding in.
Shay assassinates Wardrop from above, getting the manuscript for himself. Wardrop in his dying breath says the Templars maintained control and is the only thing keeping the colonies from descending into chaos.

5 Adéwalé
Adéwalé is probably most memorable for being the quartermaster of Edward Kenway's ship in Black Flag. In Rogue, the Assassin came to America and became part of the Colonial Brotherhood. Adéwalé was bested by Shay during a ship battle and was forced to beach his ship.
With Shay was Edward Kenway's son, Haytham. Haytham distracted Adéwalé by having a verbal exchange. This gave Shay enough time to sneak up to Adéwalé, assassinating him. Before dying, Adéwalé expressed regret at how far Shay had fallen. Shay lamented about the fact, saying it was most likely true.
