Maurice

Maurice, typically known as Norris, was a miner hailing from Montréal, who resided within the Davenport Homestead during the American Revolutionary War.
==Biography==
While visiting Boston in 1773, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton, commonly known as Connor, rescued Norris from drunken guards who intended to beat him up. When Norris mentioned that he came to the city looking for work, Connor told him of a mine on the Homestead, and asked if he fancied setting up his efforts there.Assassin's Creed III – The Brawler
Having had trouble finding employment due to people disliking his accent, Norris agreed to this offer. He subsequently settled at the Homestead and provided it with ore, which could be sold or crafted into weapons and various other items.
That same year, Norris helped Connor and the huntress Myriam catch a white cougar that had wandered into his mine.Assassin's Creed III – White Trophy In 1775, he assisted Connor with the search for a parcel containing the Assassin robes of Achilles Davenport by detonating a rock wall, providing the Assassin with an entrance to the cavern that housed the robes.Assassin's Creed III – Manor Mysteries, Part 1
It was around that time that Norris confessed to Connor that he had romantic feelings for Myriam. With the aid of the Assassin, Norris attempted to make Myriam aware of his affections, though his initial attemps at gaining her attention with gifts failed, causing his confidence to falter.Assassin's Creed III However, after gathering the necessary oreAssassin's Creed III – Raw Materials and having it crafted by David Walston, the Homestead's blacksmith,Assassin's Creed III – The Proper Tools he presented her with a new hunting knife, which saved her life when she was attacked by a poacher.Assassin's Creed III – Fool Me Once...
