{{WP-REAL|Jiajing Emperor}}
The '''Jiajing Emperor''' (16 September 1507 – 23 January 1567) was the 11th [[wikipedia:Ming Dynasty|Ming Dynasty]] [[wikipedia:Emperor of China|Emperor]] of [[China]] who ruled from 1521 to 1567. His ascendance as Emperor was aided by the [[Templars]].<ref name="Encyclopedia">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Assassin eradication===
In 1524, tired of the [[Chinese Assassins]]' meddling, he hunted the Assassins down, aiming to destroy all who opposed him. Nearly all Chinese Assassins were killed, with the few survivors fleeing West to seek support from other Assassins.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>

Jiajing sent men after them, following the Assassins as far as [[Italy]]. In [[Venice]], they killed the mentor of a female Assassin named [[Shao Jun]], who managed to escape them. They followed her to [[Florence]], where she sought aid from the former [[Mentor]] of the [[Italian Assassins]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]]. Shao explained to Ezio that both her and her (late) mentor wished to meet him in order to learn how to strengthen the Assassin Order in China and recruit new Assassins. At first he refused, stating that his time with the Assassin Order was over, but he later gave in and explained how to keep alive the hopes of men by fighting for the people and liberty. Jiajing's men tracked the two to a marketplace in Florence while Ezio ran errands, and one of the men confronted them in an alley. <ref name="ACE">''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers]]''</ref>

Shao fought and killed him, and both she and Ezio quickly fled, knowing more of Jiajing's men would most likely follow. On the carriage ride back to Ezio's home, Shao told him about Jiajing's cruel ways. She explained that Jiajing liked inflicting pain on his enemies with torturous deaths. Explaining that she had been a concubine before her mentor had saved her, when they returned to save the other concubines Jiajing had killed them all. He preferred [[wikipedia:Slow slicing|líng chí]] – a slow process of a thousand cuts until death – to simple beheadings.

Later that night the rest of Jiajing's men faced both Ezio and Jun at Ezio's house. Most of the men employed Chinese sword-fighting techniques (as the first man that Shao killed had), but one of them instead used a Chinese hand cannon. Though they fought well, the men were all killed by the two Assassins. The next day Shao departed for China, but not before receiving a mysterious gift from Ezio – a tiny chest, which he told her to only open if she loses her way.<ref name="ACE"/>
==Historical Context==
The real life emperor was known for his corruption and poor treatment of government officials, as well as neglecting his duties from living in isolation. His concubines plotted against him, having attempted to strangle him until one of the girls panicked and alerted the authorities. Contrary to his portrayal in the series, it was actually the Empress who authorized the execution via slow slicing (an exectuion method that's reserved for the gravest crimes such as treason).

==Notes==

* A [[Cryptic Messages|message]] that [[Clay Kaczmarek]] wrote in blood on the wall in [[Desmond Miles]]' room stated that ''"Within Emperor Jiajing's sin and Quetzcoalt's hunger lies the answers."''

Colosseum Vault

69.108.27.152: /* Trivia */

{{Quote|...Or you might cause this room to turn into an alien spaceship and fly away. Think about it!|[[Shaun Hastings]] to [[Desmond Miles]] as he pulls the levers in the Vault.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
[[File:Santa_Maria_Aracoeli_7.png|thumb|300px|The entrance to the Colosseum Vault.]]
The '''Colosseum Vault''' was an ancient chamber created by the [[First Civilization]] located beneath the [[Santa Maria in Aracoeli|Santa Maria Aracoeli]], but accessed from a secret entrance beneath the [[Colosseo|Colosseum]]. The Vault was created to store an [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]] on an [[Vault pedestal|erected pedestal]] at the center of a large chamber, and also contained a projection of one of Those Who Came Before, the "goddess," [[Juno]].

To enter the Vault's central chamber, one needed to speak aloud the number "[[72]]." To reach the higher tier where the Piece of Eden could be placed, the correct series of levers needed to be pulled, which were in turn accessed by crossing several thin platforms. After all were activated, a set of stairs would rise up to form an easy path up to the Piece of Eden.

The pedestals and levers within the Vault could only be activated by the touch of a descendant of Those Who Came Before.

==Visitors==
===Marcus Junius Brutus===
{{Quote|We have found traces of whatever pulled us towards this place. Whispers. Lights flickering through cracks in the earth. A doorway that is also a puzzle. We must find the solution.|Brutus, regarding the Colosseum Vault.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}
[[File:02022011620.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Brutus' sketch of the Vault.]]
The earliest known visitor of the Vault was [[Marcus Junius Brutus]], as evidenced by the [[Scrolls of Romulus]].<ref name="Project Legacy - Giovanni Borgia">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Chapter 2 - Giovanni Borgia]]</ref><ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

While in the Vault, Brutus saw visions of what would happen after [[Gaius Julius Caesar|Julius Caesar]]'s death, and was inspired by them. He and his fellow [[Assassins]] (all of whom were also Senators) would go on to plot Caesar's downfall within its chambers.<ref name="Project Legacy - Giovanni Borgia" />

Brutus also made a drawing of the Vault, as well as of the pedestal it contained; which would later hold one of the Apples of Eden.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

{{-}}
===Ezio Auditore da Firenze===
[[File:EzioColosseumVault.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Ezio at the entrance of the Vault.]]
The next known visitor was [[Ezio Auditore]], who once passed the entrance hall while seeking out the scroll hidden within one of the [[Lairs of Romulus]]. Upon securing the [[Ezio's Apple|Apple of Eden]], he entered the Vault again a little before 1506, and left it upon the pedestal.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

Upon his entrance, Ezio knew the password to enter, although how he had discovered it is unknown. Some time afterwards, he inscribed the password to the Vault upon the wall of the [[Villa Auditore]]'s [[Sanctuary]].<ref name="Brotherhood" />

===Desmond Miles===
The latest known visitors were the Assassin team composed of [[Desmond Miles]], [[Lucy Stillman]], [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]], who had figured out the password from the writing Ezio had left in the Villa Auditore.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

[[File:Retrieval_13.png|thumb|250px|left|Desmond Miles and his team of Assassins in the Vault.]]
While making his way towards the Vault, Desmond met with Juno, who spoke to him four times during his attempt to acquire the Apple of Eden. Out of all the Assassins present, Desmond was the only one able to see and hear her.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

After Desmond activated the stairs and walked up to the Apple of Eden, symbols appeared around all of them. Upon touching the Apple, the other Assassins appeared to be frozen in time and Desmond lost control of his body. Juno took over his actions and forced him to stab Lucy in the abdomen, after which both Desmond and Lucy collapsed to the floor, unconscious.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

{{-}}
==Trivia==
[[File:Retrieval_7.png|thumb|225px|The Vault door that opens only by speaking "72" aloud.]]
*Shaun remarks on two of the symbols that appear when the Apple is activated, the [[wikipedia:Phrygian cap|Phrygian cap]] and the [[wikipedia:Eye of Providence#Freemasonry|Masonic Eye]]. He begins to say ''"Now those two come together in only one place-"'' before being frozen.
**The above symbols only appear together on the [[wikipedia:French Revolution|Revolutionary France]] "[[wikipedia:Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen|Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen]]," which was written in August 1789.
**89 - 17 = '''72''' (the password to enter the Colosseum Vault).
*Of the symbols that appeared, the [[Abstergo Industries]] logo is one that appears quite frequently.
*Most of the symbols are the same ones found in [[Subject 16]]'s [[Glyphs]].
*By using [[Eagle Vision]] at the entrance of the Temple of Juno, the symbol of the [[wikipedia:Lorenz attractor|Lorenz Attractor]] can be seen on the gate of the Vault. This is also one of Subject 16's Glyphs.
*By using Eagle Vision on the platform between the entrance to the Vault and the central platform where the Apple sits, the blue-lined symbol on the floor turns red, showing the correct free running path around the central platform.
*The correct levers to be pulled can also be seen with Eagle Vision; the one pulsing in gold are the correct switches, not the ones steadily illuminated in white.
*The interior architecture and layout of the vault bears striking similarity to the 11,000 year old ancient monolithic site of [[Wikipedia:Göbekli Tepe|Göbekli Tepe]] situated in the modern country of Turkey.
*The triangle that appears on the Vault's door and in Monteriggioni is the Tetractys, an invention made by Pythagoras. It is possible that Pythagoras or his followers found the Colosseum Vault as well, and created the password "72", seeing that the symbol was considered a holy and mystical sign.
*The symbols that can be seen are:
**Abstergo logo
**Shinto Torii
**Eye of Horus
**Eye of Providence
**Inverted Pentacle
