'''Hacı Ahmed Muhiddin Piri''' (1468 - 1555), more commonly known as '''Piri Reis''', was a sea captain and cartographer. He was also secretly a [[Master Assassin]] who specialized in [[Bombs|bomb]] crafting.

==Biography==
===Early life===
At one point during his mid-teen years, Piri traveled with his uncle Kemal Reis, a Turkish pirate who mainly roamed around the edges of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Together, they turned their passion into a profession by joining Sultan Bayezid's navy some time during the 1490s.<ref name="Encyclopedia">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjU0qXXZpck ''Assassin's Creed: Encyclopedia'']</ref>

===Cartographer===
After spending two decades traveling, Piri chose to make something more of his tranquil occupation, and thus became a cartographer. He established his own studio within the [[Grand Bazaar]] and began studying and drawing out the progress of other countries, and his maps were said to be "rendered in minute detail."

By 1511, Piri had developed into a master mapmaker, and had also become a Master Assassin in [[Constantinople Assassins Guild|Constantinople's Assassins Guild]], specializing in bomb-crafting. That same year, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] visited Constantinople, and established contact with the Guild. Befriending him, Piri taught Ezio how to craft bombs.

In 1512, Piri helped Ezio escape from Constantinople and transported him to the location of Manuel Palaiologos.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>

===Death===
Piri Reis was publicly beheaded by the Ottoman Sultan [[Suleiman I]].

==Characteristics and personality==
Piri was an intelligent and witty man, who would appear disgruntled if interrupted.

He was a self proclaimed perfectionist, who felt that his map making skills were unapreciated by the old Sultan.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'', [[Christoffa Corombo]]'s atlas contains a Piri Reis map, which was rescued from Templar hands by Ezio.
*In one of the [[Contracts in Project Legacy#Age of Discovery|contracts]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', Piri is not portrayed as an Assassin. Instead, a group of [[Italy|Italian]] Assassins traveled to Constantinople and secretly stole some of Piri's maps, after which they founded an Assassins Guild in the city.
*During their first encounter, Ezio mentions that he was familiar with some of Piri's early works, which could be explained by either Christoffa's atlas, or the stolen maps from Constantinople.
*In Assassin's Creed: Revalations the opening cutscence for the smoke bomb mission, Piri will say to Ezio that he will need to rely on other sences, hinting he knows about Ezio's Eagle Sense.

'''Lost Legacy''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.

==Description==
Altaïr and his son Darim take the final preparations for the moving of the Assassin Order to a new location. Altaïr, however, decides to remain in Masyaf and says his goodbyes to his son.

==Dialogue==
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You have seen to my books?''
*'''Darim:''' ''Yes. Some we sent with the Polos. The rest will go with me to Alexandria.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Good. Very good.''
*'''Darim:''' ''Father, I do not understand... Why did you build a library if you did not intend to keep your books-''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You should go. When the Mongols return, Masyaf must be empty.''
*'''Darim:''' ''I see. This is not a library at all. It is a vault.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''It must stay hidden, Darim. Far from eager hands. At least until it has passed on the secrets it contains.''
*'''Darim:''' ''What secret?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Go, son. Go be with your family, and live well.''
*'''Darim:''' ''All that is good in me, began with you, father.''
Darim leaves and Altaïr enters his vault. While preparing everything in the vault, Altaïr hears voices from his past.
*'''Al Mualim:''' ''In much wisdom, is much grief. And he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow.''
*'''Maria:''' ''What does it tell you? What do you see?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Strange visions and messages. Of ones who came before, of their rise, and their fall...''
*'''Maria:''' ''But what happens to us, Altaïr? To our family! What does the Apple say?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Who were the ones who came before? What brought them here? How long ago?''
*'''Maria:''' ''Get rid of that thing!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''This is my duty, Maria!'' Maria? Where... where are you? Where is she?!
*'''Darim:''''' Gone, father. You do not remember? She's gone!''
*'''Altaïr:''''' If you are asked, say that I sent the Apple away. Tell them I sent it to Cyprus, or Cipango, or that I dropped it into the sea. Tell them anything to keep men away from this place. This Apple must not be found, not until the time is right.''
Altaïr locks the Apple away and takes his seat.
==Outcome==
Altaïr stores the Apple in the vault and sits down to take a rest afterwards, accepting Death's embrace

==Trivia==
* The name of the memory shares the name of the cancelled Nintendo DS game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy]]''
* Cipango is an archaic exonym of the country currently known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan Japan].
