'''Elizabeth I''' (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603), born '''Elizabeth Tudor''', was the Queen of [[United Kingdom|England]] and [[Ireland]], reigning from 17 November 1558 until her death. She was the daughter of [[Henry VIII of England]] by his second wife {{Wiki|Anne Boleyn}} and was the half-sister of [[Mary I of England|Mary I]]. She was the last monarch of the House of Tudor.

She succeeded Mary I in 1558, after Mary was killed by the [[Assassins]]. By 1559, Elizabeth had come into the possession of an [[Apple of Eden 2|Apple of Eden]], which she kept hidden inside a {{Wiki|globus cruciger}}.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' - [[Glyphs]]</ref>

However, the mathematician and consultant of Elizabeth, [[John Dee]], knew of the Apple and its powers. After her death in 1603, Dee sent a painting of Elizabeth wielding the artifact during the {{Wiki|Judgement of Paris}} to [[Elizabeth Jane Weston]], the stepdaughter of his former colleague [[Edward Kelley]], as a wedding present.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Divine Science: Chapter 3 - Elizabeth Jane Weston]]</ref>

'''Jayadeep Mir''' (1843 – unknown), commonly known as '''Sir Henry Green''', was an [[India]]n immigrant in [[London]] during the 1860s, who became the [[Assassin leader|leader]] of the [[Assassins]] in London and a friend of the twins [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]], later in life becoming one of the three known members of the [[Order of the Sacred Garter]]. He was also the son of [[Arbaaz Mir]], a [[Master Assassin]] of the [[Indian Assassins|Indian Brotherhood]], and Princess [[Pyara Kaur]] of India, being also grandson of the Maharaja [[Kharak Singh]] and great-grandson of the Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]].

He was also the great-nephew, and an associate, of [[Duleep Singh]].

==Biography==
===Londonian Assassin===
In 1862, when a body was discovered in London at the dig for the world's first underground railway, it sparked the renewal of the hostilities between the Assassins and [[Templars]], with an undercover Green playing his part in the conflict.<ref>[http://www.amazon.co.uk/Assassins-Creed-Underworld-Oliver-Bowden/dp/1405918861 amazon.co.uk]</ref>

By 1868, the [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]] was deeply weakened, and as one of the last remaining Assassins in the city, Green became the leader of the Assassins in London. He wrote his friend [[George Westhouse]] to petition the [[Assassin Council]] for aid.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

===Meeting the Frye Twins===
One day, Green encountered the Frye twins, who hailed from Crawley, and assumed that the Council had sent them. He then brought them up to speed on [[Grand Master]] [[Crawford Starrick]]'s dominion over the city. The Frye twins then began to disagree on a course of action; Jacob wanted to form a gang called the [[Rooks]] to cripple Starrick's control, while Evie wanted to find the [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] in his possession.<ref name="ACS"/>

Subsequently, the three Assassins bumped into [[Charles Dickens]]. While Jacob was easily dismissive of the author, Green advised the young Assassin to consider keeping a network of contacts, as Dickens knew every influential figure in the city. Unfortunately, a pair of [[Blighters]] attempted to follow them, forcing Green to split off from the Fryes, instructing them to keep the Blighters away from his shop, handing them a pair of pistols.<ref name="ACS"/>

When the Frye twins later arrived at his shop, Green showed them sketches of his allies, Sergeant [[Frederick Abberline]] and [[Clara O'Dea]]. He also provided information on [[Rexford Kaylock]], a Templar desiring to acquire Green's research on the [[First Civilization]].<ref name="ACS"/>

As the newly formed Rooks began to stir up resistance against Kaylock's power base in [[Whitechapel]], Green informed the twins that Kaylock's gang wants a street fight to settle the dispute, and provided them with kukris. Following Kaylock's assassination, the Assassins commandeered his train as a mobile headquarters. Noticing that Jacob was obsessed with Kaylock's grappling gun, which was damaged in the fight, Green introduced the twins to his friend [[Alexander Graham Bell]], who modified it for their gauntlets.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Searching the Shroud===
Upon meeting back at the train, Green showed the twins the hierarchy of Starrick's inner circle, most whose identities were unknown. While Jacob focused on the Templars, Green assisted Evie in her search for the Piece of Eden. Evie and Jacob had recovered an Assassin journal from [[Lucy Thorne]] and Evie used her [[Eagle Vision]] to find a hidden image of a jackdaw. The trail led to [[Edward Kenway]]'s mansion, where Thorne and her henchmen were tearing the place apart. Green and Evie infiltrated the mansion and made their way into piano room, where they found a secret room underneath, where they found a hidden key. However, Thorne had found the secret passageway, forcing Green to seal it. He and Evie then escape via secret passage.<ref name="ACS"/>

== Romantic Life ==
In the year 1868 after he became colleagues with the Frye twins and the death of Starrick, he formed a romantic relationship with Evie, later proposing to her.

Pyara Kaur

{{Quote|What a wonderful dream for a girl, hm? Playing at love. This was my time. My heart. Stolen by a thief.|Pyara to Raza, 1839.|Assassin's Creed: Brahman}}
[[File:ACBM-Pyara Kaur.jpg|thumb|250px|Pyara Kaur]]
'''Pyara Kaur''' was the daughter of Maharaja [[Kharak Singh]] of the [[Sikh Empire]], the granddaughter of Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]], the lover of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Arbaaz Mir]] and mother of the Assassin Jayadeep Mir, also know as [[Henry Green]]. She is an ancestor of the [[India]]n actress [[Monima Das]].

==Biography==
Living a life of luxury in the imperial palace of [[Amritsar]] since childhood, Pyara was renowned for her beauty and charm. She frequently took part in official ceremonies, right behind her grandfather, Ranjit Singh; during one of these ceremonies in June 1839, she encountered Arbaaz Mir, who introduced himself as an emissary from Kashmir.

Despite her reluctance, she allowed herself to be seduced by him, enticed by the forbidden nature of the situation. After their moment of intimacy in the gardens, Arbaaz left, as he was actually an Assassin that had come to steal the [[Koh-i-Noor]]. When her lover was later apprehended with a replica of the diamond in his possession, Pyara was deeply affected by his betrayal.

[[File:ACBM-Raza and Pyara.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Pyara lamenting her naïvety to Raza]]
Feeling both great sadness and anger, Pyara was consoled by the young [[Raza Soora]], who had happened upon her while fleeing the palace. Despite his loyalty to Arbaaz, Raza gave the princess the Koh-i-Noor to cheer her up. Pleased to have recuperated the precious jewel, Pyara decided to confront the Assassin and went to the dungeon where he was being held.

There, Arbaaz told Pyara that the [[United Kingdom|British]] planned to poison her grandfather and take advantage of the absence of her uncles to seize power. Shocked, Pyara acquiesced to the Assassin's demands that she free him, though she made him promise to prevent her grandfather's assassination. Arbaaz agreed, but actually had no intention of aiding her, until the princess revealed she held the Koh-i-Noor in her possession, thus forcing the Assassin to keep his promise.

However, Arbaaz arrived too late to save the Maharaja, who had been poisoned by [[Francis Cotton]], a [[Templars|Templar]]. Having heard the commotion that had erupted between the Assassin and the palace [[guards]], who had been led to believe he was behind Ranjit Singh's murder, Pyara found her grandfather and tried to console him. When she revealed that she was in possession of the Koh-i-Noor, Ranjit Singh ordered her to flee India and hide the artifact somewhere far away, safe from the Templars.

Obeying her grandfather's dying wish, Pyara grabbed a robe to hide her appearance and attempted to flee the palace, but ran into Cotton, who mistook her for an Assassin and prepared to stab her. She was saved by Raza, who leapt upon the Templar and wounded him by scratching his face with his fingernails. However, the young boy was soon overpowered, leading Pyara to rescue him in turn by activating the Koh-i-Noor.

[[File:ACBH_Pyara_with_Koh-i-Noor.jpg|thumb|250px|Pyara activating the Koh-i-Noor]]
Pyara was soon overcome with the [[Piece of Eden]]'s power, with an unknown member of the [[First Civilization]] manifesting itself and using the princess to convey a message for [[humanity]]. Horrified at the appearance of this mysterious being, Cotton fired multiple shots at the Precursor, though upon striking the Koh-i-Noor with a bullet, the diamond shattered and severed Pyara's connection to the First Civilization woman. This released an energy wave of tremendous power, vaporizing everyone in the room save for Arbaaz, Raza and the princess herself.

Pyara would later bear Arbaaz's child, naming him Jayadeep, who would later join the Assassin and take on the name of [[Henry Green]] and become an ancestor to [[Monima Das]], the fiancée of [[Jot Soora]].

==Trivia==
*Pyara, प्यारा, is a Hindi word meaning "sweet, lovely, dear, pretty". Kaur, ਕੌਰ, is a Punjabi word actually meaning "prince", but it has come to possess the colloquial meaning "princess".

Lisbon

[[File:PL Exodus.jpg|thumb|250px|Lisbon]]
'''Lisbon''' (Portuguese: ''Lisboa'') is the capital city of [[Portugal]]. During the [[Renaissance]], a guild of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] was based in the city and received aid from [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s [[Italy|Italian]] [[Assassins Guilds|guild]].<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==History==
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in Europe, with a history that stretches back to its original settlement by the indigenous Iberians, the Celts, and the eventual establishment of Phoenician and Greek trading posts (c. 800–600 BC), followed by successive occupations in the city of various peoples including the Carthaginians, Romans, Suebi, Visigoths, and Moors. [[Roman Republic|Roman]] armies first entered the Iberian peninsula in 219 BC, and occupied the Lusitanian city of Olissipo (Lisbon) in 205 BC, after winning the Second Punic War against the Carthaginians. With the collapse of the Roman Empire, waves of Germanic barbarian tribes invaded the future Portugal, and by 500 AD, the Visigothic Kingdom controlled most of Hispania.

In 711, Moors, who were mostly Berbers and Arabs from the Maghreb, invaded the Iberian Peninsula, conquering Lisbon in 714. What is now Portugal first became part of the Emirate of Córdoba and then of its successor state, the Caliphate of Córdoba. In 1147, after a four-month siege, Christian [[crusaders]] under the command of King Afonso I captured the city and Christian rule returned. In 1256, King Afonso III moved his capital from Coimbra to Lisbon, taking advantage of the city’s excellent port and its strategic central position.

Lisbon flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries as the centre of a vast empire during the period of the Portuguese discoveries, This was a time of intensive maritime exploration, when the Kingdom of Portugal accumulated great wealth and power through its colonisation of Asia, South America, Africa and the Atlantic islands.

Knowing that King [[Manuel I of Portugal|Manuel]] I might have connections to the [[Templars]], the Assassins traveled to Lisbon and [[Interrogation|interrogated]] one of the men in his council, who revealed that Manuel did indeed serve the Templar cause. They also learned that Manuel was preparing to send a fleet, led by [[Vasco da Gama]], to [[Calicut]]. This prompted the Assassins to warn their brothers in [[India]].<ref name="Brotherhood" />

Shortly after that, they learned that Manuel was forcing all {{Wiki|Jewish}} people to either convert to {{Wiki|Christianity}} or leave the city, but had also closed the city borders, making it impossible to escape. Anyone who refused to convert was beaten or even killed. The Assassins arranged for three [[ships]] to take the Jewish citizens out of Lisbon, though it was not enough and the Assassins were forced to kill many guards that had found out about their plans.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Knowing that they could not get all the citizens out in time, they provided them with weapons and light armor, training them in tactics such as stealth, surprise, intimidation and shock. The civilians seemed eager to fight their king, as very little of them accepted the offer to travel to Italy with the Assassins.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

In November of 1755, the then-[[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Shay Cormac]] was sent to Lisbon by his [[Mentor]], [[Achilles Davenport]] to retrieve a [[Piece of Eden]] inside a [[Lisbon Temple|First Civilization Temple]] below the [[Carmo Convent]]. When Shay had removed the Piece from it's pedestal, the defense mechanisms of the Piece triggered a [[1755 Lisbon earthquake|massive earthquake]] in the city, collapsing structures and killing civilians. Shay managed to escape from the disaster, and sailed back to the [[United States|Thirteen Colonies]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

During the Peninsular War, (1807–1814) [[Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleon]]’s forces began a four-year occupation of the city in December 1807, and Lisbon descended with the rest of the country into anarchy. After the war ended in 1814, a new constitution was proclaimed and Brazil was granted independence. The 20th century brought political upheaval to Lisbon and the nation as a whole. In 1908, at the height of the turbulent period of the Republican movement, King Carlos and his heir Luís Filipe were assassinated in the Terreiro do Paço. On 5 October 1910, the Republicans organised a ''coup d'état'' that overthrew the constitutional monarchy and established the Portuguese Republic.
