'''Gillian McCarthy''' was a seductress of {{Wiki|Scotland|Scottish}} descent, who relied on her "natural talents" and street smarts to protect her younger brother [[Fillan McCarthy|Fillan]] and herself after having killed her parents.

Successful in this endeavor, Gillian embraced the [[Templars|Templar Order]], easily becoming wealthy. As Fillan disliked her decision upon joining, the young man went on his own way. Unhindered, Gillian was able to gain the favors of the most influential politicians and learn the best guarded plans and secrets of the states.

In 2012, her [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] were used as an Animi Avatar by the [[Abstergo Entertainment|entertainment branch]] of the Templar company [[Abstergo Industries]], to influence the general public via the [[Animus]] games console, under the title of the [[Lady Maverick]].

==Trivia==
*In [[Erudito]]'s version of her [[Abstergo Story#Avatar biographies|Abstergo file]], it makes mention that she "sold [[Fillan McCarthy|her brother]] for a can of beans." Whether this was Erudito's attempt at a practical joke, or another example of the ruthless personality she possessed, remains to be known.

{{Era|ACR|Templars}}
{{Quote|You do your duty well, Assassin... but you do it with such coldness that I almost pity you. The lives you fight to protect are dull, weak, and lacking luster. What a bland world it will be if you Assassins get your way.|Lysistrata's dying words.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}

As a wealthy Byzantine woman, '''Lysistrata''' lived a luxurious, nonchalant life in [[Constantinople]], where she was schooled in the arts by the [[Templars]]. In return for their help, Lysistrata used her alluring charm on visiting [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] officials, much to their benefit.

In 2012, her [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] were used as an Animi Avatar by the Templar company [[Abstergo Industries]], for the [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|second stage]] of training for their [[Animus]] recruits, under the title of the [[Thespian]].

==Biography==
===Confrontation with the Assassins===
{{Quote|We have been hearing rumors for some time now that paint Lysistrata in a very dangerous light.|An Apprentice to Ezio Auditore regarding Lysistrata.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
In 1511, Lysistrata met with a male contact, with whom she walked through Constantinople. However, curious to her intentions, the pair were tailed by an [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], and one of his [[apprentices]].

While the [[Italy|Italian]] [[Mentor]]'s apprentice followed Lysistrata and her contact as they weaved their way through the streets, Ezio tailed them from the rooftops. From there, Lysistrata and the man eventually arrived at the city's [[Hippodrome of Constantinople|Hippodrome]], where they stopped to talk for a few moments.

During that time, Ezio's apprentice made their way onto a section of the Hippodrome's steps just above where Lysistrata stood. However, noticing the Assassin apprentice, Lysistrata stabbed her contact in the abdomen, before throwing a [[Bombs#Smoke bombs|smoke bomb]] to conceal her escape. Reacting quickly, the apprentice attempted to assassinate Lysistrata, but it was too late, as she had already fled.

Determined to end her life, Ezio and his Assassin recruit attempted to chase after her, but only came to the gory sight of many bodies piled atop each other, all male, revealing her intentions would have been the same despite their interruption.

===Death===

[[File:The Thespian P2 4.png|thumb|250px|left|Lysistrata's final moments]]
Later that same year, Ezio met again with his more experienced apprentice, now a [[Assassin Dens|den leader]], who told him that Lysistrata planned to make a public performance under a stage name. Ezio remarked that Lysistrata knew better, but that her vanity had overcome her, before departing for the waterfront performance with his apprentice.

Upon reaching the waterfront, both of them agreed to carry out the mission together to ensure Lysistrata was killed. After their conversation, Ezio then made his way down to the small crowd, and assassinated Lysistrata in the middle of one of her speeches.

In her final moments, Lysistrata claimed that although the Assassins did their job well, they would create a bland world if their fight succeeded.

==Trivia==
*Lysistrata is named after the eponymous play by {{Wiki|Aristophanes}}, featuring an {{Wiki|Classical Athens|Athenian}} woman by the same name, who attempts to put an end to the {{Wiki|The Peloponnesian War|Peloponnesian War}} by convincing women to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers. The piece Lysistrata is heard reciting right before her assassination comes from the play.
*Lysistrata comes from the Greek words ''lysis'' ("loosening, a release") and ''stratos'' ("army"). It means "Army-disbander".

Vali cel Tradat

82.51.91.19: /* Early life */

{{Era|ACR|Rbook|Assassins|Templars}}
{{Quote|Once, your Creed was as vital to me as air and water... but when the Turks marched into Wallachia and you Assassins did nothing to stop it, how could I continue to believe?|Vali explaining his betrayal of the Assassins.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
{{Character Infobox

|birth = [[Wallachia]]
|death = 1511<br>[[Constantinople]], [[Ottoman Empire]]
|affiliates = [[Assassins]]<br>[[Templars]]
|appear = ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''}}
'''Vali cel Tradat''' (unknown - 1511) was a [[Wallachia]]n noble, former [[Assassins|Assassin]] and member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]].

Having served the Assassin Order for around a decade, Vali left the Assassins after they made a truce with the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]]; the same people who had humiliated his people, conquered Wallachia, and murdered his secret idol [[Vlad Tepes]]. Feeling betrayed, he joined the Templars, striving for vengeance against the Assassins and Ottomans.

In 2012, his [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] were used as an Animi Avatar by the Templar company [[Abstergo Industries]], for the [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|second stage]] of training for their [[Animus]] recruits, under the title of the [[Sentinel]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Born as a noble in Wallachia, Vali joined the Assassins in his early twenties. He remained loyal to [[the Creed]] for almost a decade, until the Assassins called a truce with the Ottoman Sultan, [[Bayezid II]].

Believing that truce was traitorous to his people, since the Ottomans had shamed them, conquered Wallachia and even murdered his role model [[Vlad Tepes]] , Vali left the Order to join the Templars and seek revenge on not only the Ottomans, but also the Assassins. Due to his Assassin training, Vali was soon deemed to be one of their most valued and feared killers.

===Feud with the Assassins===
{{Dialogue|Ezio|Only a guilty man runs with such speed!|Vali|And only a fool stops to fight!|Ezio chasing after Vali.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:Sentinel_P1_10.png|thumb|250px|left|Vali calling on Byzantine soldiers]]
Being an experienced agent for the Templars, Vali had taken the lives of many Assassins. However, an Assassin [[Apprentices|apprentice]] caught on to his actions and spoke to the visiting [[Mentor]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], who had journeyed to [[Constantinople]].

Arriving at a small courtyard and using his [[Eagle Vision|Eagle Sense]], Ezio discovered evidence of Vali's recent murders. Suddenly, Vali appeared, running along the rooftops and assassinating an Ottoman guard. The former Assassin then fled the area, with Ezio and the apprentice quickly giving chase.

Later, as Ezio's apprentice attempted to air assassinate him and failed, Vali called out for help, spurring some [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] guards to aid him, which provided the distraction that allowed him to escape.

===Death===
{{Quote|Mentor, forget me. You have fallen for a ruse. He captured me to draw the Assassins away from our headquarters. He will be on his way there now!|An Assassin explaining Vali's plan.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:Sentinel P2 6.png|thumb|250px|Vali's final moments]]
Vali later managed to create a diversion, by capturing two Assassins and containing them under Byzantine guard, in order to give him the time to try and infiltrate the main headquarters of the Assassins, which succeeded in distracting Ezio from his true ambition. After Ezio had freed the captives, Vali ordered Byzantine forces to attack the [[Galata headquarters|Galata den]], with the fight ending with heavy losses on both sides.

Soon afterwards, Vali and Ezio had a brief encounter, which resulted in his attempt to escape. However, he was soon stopped in his tracks by the same Assassin apprentice as before, who emerged from the rooftops and leapt down to assassinate him, this time proving successful. Before he passed, Vali explained his actions and why he had abandoned the Order, claiming that he could not believe in a cause that had betrayed him. Once he had said his piece to the two Assassins, he gave his last breath.

==Trivia==
*Vali is a Romanian diminutive of names that ultimately derive from the Latin ''valere'' ("to be strong") or ''valens'' ("strong, potent, vigorous"). Cel tradat translates to "the betrayed" in Romanian.
*Ironically, Vali's role model Vlad Tepes was a member of the Templar Order, and it was the Ottoman Assassin leader [[Ishak Pasha]] who led the final assault against Vlad. Despite being an Assassin himself, Vali still held the Assassins in contempt for Vlad's death.
*If Ezio managed to assassinate Vali before the Apprentice, the scene in the [[Memory Corridor]] would still show the Apprentice giving Vali his last rites.
*Vali was the second known Templar to have performed a Leap of Faith, others being [[Francesco de' Pazzi]], [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Daniel Cross]].
