Reginald Birch (1705 - October 9, 1757) was the Grand Master of the British Templar Order. He is the true main antagonist of the novel Assassin's Creed: Forsaken (at least until the Assassin's Creed III tie-in chapters), where he trained the novel's protagonist Haytham Kenway to become a Templar and ordered Edward Kenway to be murdered.
