'''Maria''' (unknown – 1492) was a member of the [[Spanish Assassins|Spanish Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]] during the 15th century, as well as a close ally of [[Master Assassin]] [[Aguilar de Nerha]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
In 1492, Maria was present during the formal induction of Aguilar into the Brotherhood, during which one of his finger was ritually amputated.<ref name="ACF">''[[Assassin's Creed (film)|Assassin's Creed: The Movie]]''</ref> <br />
<br />
Later, Maria was part of the team of Assassins who tried to prevent the capture of Prince [[Ahmed of Granada]] by the [[Templars]]. However they failed and after a chariot chase, Maria, Aguilar and their [[Mentor]], [[Benedicto]], were captured by the Templar [[Ojeda]] and his men.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
Thrown into jail, the Assassins were eventually dragged out of it to be publicly executed as heretics by the Spanish Inquisition and its leader, the Templar [[Tomás de Torquemada]]. Benedicto was then burned to the stakes in front of his disciples, but before the Templars could do the same to them, Aguilar freed himself. Fending off the guards, Aguilar freed Maria and they both fled the scene after setting off the stocks of oil, which exploded. Chased by the Templars and soldiers on the city's roofs, the two Assassins used their [[Freerunning|skills]] to escape the fearsome Ojeda and his men until they reached the top of the cathedral, where cornered they performed [[Leap of Faith|Leaps of faith]] to escape.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
Eventually the pair reached the Sultan's palace in Grenada, where they witnessed the exchange between the monarch and Torquemada, his son for the Apple. Jumping from the roof, Maria and Aguilar fought the Templars present in the room, locking the rest of them outside. They killed all of them except for their leader and Ojeda and Aguilar recovered the Apple from Torquemada. However, as Aguilar had his blade Torquemada's throat he discovered that Ojeda had his own on Maria's and a standoff issued. As Maria told him to kill Torquemada and flee, Aguilar hesitated and Ojeda plunged his blade in the woman's neck. Enraged Aguilar attacked Ojeda and as he was losing he used the blade thrower on the wrist of a dying Maria to critically injure the brute before finishing him. Despite Maria's death, Aguilar escaped Torquemada and his men with the Apple.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
==Personality and characteristics==<br />
While she was a more measured individual than her partner-in-arms, Maria shared Aguilar's dedication to the Brotherhood and sought to prevent the damage [[Templars|Templar]] influence was doing to her country.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
===Equipment and skills===<br />
Light on her feet and exceedingly quick, Maria was both a highly-skilled [[Freerunning|freerunner]] and combatant in her own right. She wielded two [[Hidden Blade]]s, one of which was comprised of two thin blades next to one another.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
Maria wore robes bearing [[Moors|Moorish]] influence.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Alicia Vikander was originally considered for the role of Maria, but scheduling conflicts with ''Jason Bourne'' eventually caused the actress to drop out, with [[Ariane Labed]] being cast instead.<ref>[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Assassin-Creed-Has-Found-Its-Alicia-Vikander-Replacement-72239.html CINEMABLEND - Assassin's Creed Has Found Its Alicia Vikander Replacement]</ref><br />
