Objective: Find and Save the Carpenter’s Brother From the Pirates
You might spot Tekton on your way by the Isle of Thisvi, standing on the deck of his beached ship. He wants you to save his brother from the pirates that forced his ship to run aground. Tekton says that he will join your crew if you save him. Return to your ship and follow the waypoint to the aptly named Pirate Island just off the coast of Mount Helikon in Boeotia. Carefully eliminate all the pirates with assassinations and well placed bow shots. Alerting the enemies here can be dangerous, as there is nowhere to run but the sea. Once they are all taken care of, open the prisoner’s cage and carry him to the waypoint and safety away from the camp.
Objective: Report to the Carpenter
Alas you were too late to save him. Report your abject failure back to the carpenter. Break it to him gently. Luckily, he will still join your crew. Mission complete.

This side mission has glitched for me. When I got to the island the pirates were already attacking the brother in his cage. Now when I go to pick him up it won’t allow me. I’ve tried loaded a different save and same thing. Even tried resetting my console.
Same thing happened for me.. I can’t even dock at the island.
There is no icon for me to start this mission, any word on if it has been / will be patched or not?
Yeah this is cr*p! i got on the island killed all the knobs now i got the dude out the cage and picked him up but nothing happens put him on little boat and tried getting on ship with his bro but cant get him on – f*ing total bull-ship lol
