Benjamin Franklin was a raunchy fellow and Founding Fathers of the United States, Most of us (Americans) know this already, he will be making an appearance in ACIII.

When it was first announced that key historical figures from the American Revolution would be popping up in the game most pointed to Benjamin Franklin as a perfect choice to fill the Leonardo Da Vinci inventor role, but not in quite the same way.

Assassin’s Creed III Features Bawdy Side of Ben Franklin 1

Ubisoft decided to play up the bawdy side of Franklin. It’s not a depiction you read much in textbooks.

“So we got him in a little bit, we went with the more unusual sides of him. Like his love of women,” creative director Alex Hutchinson told PA Report. He then provided an example of one of many dirty things that Franklin uttered while he wasn’t busy inventing bifocals or tying keys to kites.

“He said that women dry out, but they dry out from the top down, and therefore the bits that you need never dry out. I know we’re going to get [complaints], but this is all public record.”

So, while Assassin’s Creed III won’t feature the Benedict Arnold assassination that some were hoping for, it will be a fairly historically accurate depiction of the American Revolution. That doesn’t mean Ubisoft isn’t having a little fun with the time period, however, they just have to tread a bit lighter as they get closer to the present.

Penny Arcade took the liberty of looking up Franklin’s actual quote, and here it is to scar you forever: “Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.”

Previously, Alex Hutchinson creative director for Assassin’s Creed III said the game has made “huge progress” and added Assassin’s Creed III Features Real-Life Assassination

Assassin’s Creed III will release on October 30 for PC, PS3, Xbox360 and Wii U.
