'''The Mentor's Wake''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.

==Description==
Having killed [[Al Mualim]] and retaken the [[Apple of Eden]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] carries the body of his former Mentor to be burned. The burning of the body causes an uproar, leading to [[Abbas Sofian]] taking the Apple.

==Dialogue==
[[File:Mentor's wake 3.png|thumb|right|250px|Altaïr confronted by Abbas.]]
Altaïr stand over Al Mualim's body as another [[Assassins|Assassin]] enters.
*'''Assassin:''' ''Is it truly over? Is that sorcerer dead?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''He was no sorcerer. Just an ordinary man in command of illusions. Have you prepared the pyre?''
*'''Assassin:''' ''I have, but... Altaïr... some of the men, will not stand for such a thing.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Let me handle it.''
Altaïr carries the body to the pyre, meanwhile conversing the Assassin.
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Are you fit to travel?''
*'''Assassin:''' ''Well enough, yes.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''I asked [[Malik Al-Sayf|Malik]] to ride to [[Jerusalem]] with the news of Al Mualim's death. Would you ride to [[Acre]] and do the same?''
*'''Assassin:''' ''Of course.''
Altaïr encounters [[Abbas Sofian]].
*'''Abbas:''' ''What has happened here?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Our Mentor deceived us all. The [[Templars]] corrupted him.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''Where is your proof?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Walk with me, Abbas, and I will explain.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''And if I find your answers wanting?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''I will talk until you are satisfied. <insert> Do you remember the artifact we recovered from [[Robert De Sable]] in [[Solomon's Temple]]?''
*'''Abbas:''' ''The artifact you were sent to retrieve, but others delivered?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Yes. It is a Templar tool, the [[Apple of Eden]]. It can conjure illusions and control men's minds. A deadly weapon.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''And you believe Al Mualim fell under its spell?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''I do. Today he used the Apple to enslave Masyaf. You saw that for yourself.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''I do not know what I saw.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Listen, Abbas. The Apple is safe in Al Mualim's study. When I am finished here, I will show you all I know.''
[[File:Mentor's_wake_5.png|thumb|250px|Altaïr and Abbas argue while Al Mualim's pyre burns.]]
Altaïr places Al Mualim's body on the pyre and sets it on fire.
*'''Abbas:''' ''Altaïr! No!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''I must know that he cannot return.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''But this is not our way! To burn a man's body is forbidden!''
*'''Citizen:''' ''Defiler!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Hear me out! This body could be another one of Al Mualim's phantoms! I must be certain!''
*'''Abbas:''' ''Lies! All your life you have made a mockery of our Creed! You bend the rules to suit your whims, while belittling and humiliating those around you!''
*'''Citizen:''' ''Restrain him!''
*'''Assassin: '''''Did you not hear him? Al Mualim is bewitched!''
Abbas throws Altaïr from the cliff, and a fight between Altaïr's supporters and his opponents ensues. Eventually, Abbas catches the attention by revealing himself with the Apple.
*'''Abbas:''' ''What did I tell you, Altaïr?''
[[File:Mentor's_wake_10.png|thumb|250px|Abbas with the Apple of Eden in hand.]]
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Abbas! Stop!''
*'''Abbas:''' ''What did you think would happen when you murdered our beloved Mentor?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You loved Al Mualim less than anyone! You blamed him for all your misfortune, even your father's suicide!''
*'''Abbas:''' ''My father was a hero!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''This is not the time to quarrel over the past. We must decide what to do with that weapon!''
*'''Abbas:''' ''Whatever this artifact is capable of, you are not worthy to wield it.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''No man is!''
*'''Abbas:''' ''Ahhh, it IS beautiful, is it not?''
[[File:Mentor's_wake_15.png|thumb|250px|Altaïr retrieves the Apple from Abbas.]]
The Apple overtakes Abbas and goes out of control. Altaïr makes his way to save Abbas.
*'''Abbas:''' ''Ah...''
*'''Assassin:''' ''What was that? Are they dead?''
*'''Abbas:''' ''F-forgive me... I did not know...''
Altaïr turns to the Apple.
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Have you anything to teach us? Or will you lead us all to ruin?''

==Outcome==
Altaïr burns Al Mualim's body, and saves Abbas from the Apple of Eden. Soon after, Altaïr would take control of the Assassin Order.

==Trivia==
*To achieve full [[Synchronization]], Altaïr must not lose more than three synchronization points.
*Several dead Assassins can be seen in the courtyard behind the fortress, despite the fact Altaïr only fought [[Al Mualim]] and the illusions created by him there.
*This memory takes place right after the end of [[Assassin's Creed|the original game]].
*When wieved in Eagle Sense, some of the Assassin Guards will glow red and some of them will glow blue.

'''High-Stakes Negotiations''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.

==Description==
[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] knocks on the door of the [[Rosa in Fiore]] and speaks with a [[Courtesans|courtesan]], however, they are interrupted by another courtesan bearing the news that [[Madonna Solari|the owner]] has been captured. Ezio decides to rescue her and pay her ransom, but the slave traders kill her after taking the ransom. Ezio kills them in return and reclaims his money. Afterwards, Ezio returns to the Rosa in Fiore and is shocked to find [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|his mother]] and [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|sister]] there. He renovates the [[brothels|brothel]], and leaves Claudia in charge of running the business.

==Dialogue==
===Rescue===
[[File:Negotiations 1.png|thumb|250px|Ezio discusses the whereabouts of the Courtesan leader.]]
*'''Courtesan:''' ''Welcome to the Rosa in Fiore (Blooming Rose), stranger.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Salve ''(Hello). ''Would you be kind enough to call the owner for me?''
*'''Courtesan:''' ''Madonna Solari is not in.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Do you know where she is?''
*'''Courtesan:''' ''I --''

A second courtesan runs towards them screaming.
*'''Lucia:''' ''Aiuto! Aiuto! ''(Help! Help!) ''Madonna Solari-''
*'''Courtesan:''' ''Lucia. We thought you were gone for good!''
*'''Lucia:''' ''The men took us on a ship. They released me, but she-''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Who took you on a ship?''
*'''Lucia:''' ''[[Cento Occhi|Slave traders]],'' Messere ''(Mister). ''Near [[Tiber Island|Isola Tiberina]]. They want coin in exchange for her life.
*'''Ezio:''' ''I will get her back.''

Ezio Auditore goes to deliver the ransom to the slave traders. Upon arrival at the docks, Ezio sees a slaver holding a [[Short blade|knife]] against Solari's neck.
*'''Slave trader:''' ''Are you here for the whore?''
*'''Solari:''' ''Aiutatemi! ''(Help me!)
*'''Ezio:''' ''I have your money. Let her go.''
*'''Slave trader:''' ''No, take it up with [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]].''

The slaver slits Solari's throat, killing her, then orders his men to attack Ezio. Ezio swiftly eliminates all of the slavers and takes his money back.

===Reunion===
[[File:Negotiations 6.png|thumb|250px|Ezio is shocked to learn of his family's presence in Rome.]]
Later, Ezio returns to the brothel to inform the courtesans about the fate of Solari. However, he is surprised to see his mother and sister waiting for him.
*'''Ezio:''' ''Mother? Sister?''
*'''Maria:''' ''Ezio. Ser ''(Sir) ''[[Niccolò Machiavelli|Machiavelli]] said that you might be here.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''What are you doing in [[Rome|Roma]]? Has [[Florence|Firenze]] been attacked?''
*'''Claudia:'' '''No. Or, rather, I do not know. We did not go to Firenze.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Why?''
*'''Claudia:''' ''Ezio, we want to help.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I was trying to help you by sending you to Firenze.''
*'''Courtesan:''' ''Where is Madonna Solari?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''She's dead.''
*'''Courtesan:''' ''Merda ''(Shit).
*'''Lucia:''' ''What now? Will we have to close?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You cannot close. I need your help.''
*'''Courtesan:''' ''Messere ''(Mister), ''without someone who can run things, we are finished.''
*'''Claudia:''' ''I'll do it.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You do not belong here, Claudia.''
[[File:Negotiations 8.png|right|thumb|250px|Ezio informing Claudia to find Caterina Sforza.]]
*'''Claudia:''' ''I know how to run a business. I ran [[Mario Auditore|Uncle Mario]]'s for years.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''This is different.''
*'''Maria:''' ''What alternative do you have, Ezio?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You do this, Claudia, and you are on your own.''
*'''Claudia:''' ''I've been on my own for twenty years.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Fine. I intend to repair the brothel. This place is a real mess. And I want your courtesans to find [[Caterina Sforza]].''
*'''Claudia:''' ''You can count on us.''

===Renovations===
Ezio Auditore consults an [[Architects|architect]] regarding the renovation of the brothel. After the renovations are complete, Ezio pays a visit to the brothel.
*'''Claudia:''' ''Welcome to the Rosa in Fiore (Blooming Rose), as you can see, the most popular brothel in Roma.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''My money went well invested.''
*'''Claudia:''' ''Here I keep a list of the skills taught to my girls.'' (Pointing to a board on the wall).
[[File:Negotiations 11.png|thumb|250px|Ezio speaks with Maria and Claudia.]]
*'''Ezio:''' ''You are not teaching them much.''
*'''Claudia:''' ''Think you can do better?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Nessun problema. ''(No problem.)
*'''Maria:''' ''Ezio, the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] make it difficult for Claudia's girls. There are several things you can do to that would aid them...''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I will keep that in mind. Anything else?''
*'''Claudia:''' ''No. Ezio--''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Did you find Caterina?''
*'''Claudia:''' ''We are working on it.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Bene.'' (Good.) ''Come to see me at Isola Tiberina'' (Tiber Island) ''with her location.''

==Outcome==
After Madonna Solari's death at the hands of slave traders, Ezio renovates the Rosa in Fiore and Claudia runs the Guild of Courtesans. Claudia and the courtesans are now allied with the [[Assassins]], and are tasked by Ezio to find Caterina.

==Trivia==
*To achieve full [[synchronization]], Ezio must not swim.
*Ezio cannot walk over, loot, or carry Solari's corpse.

Rebecca Crane

'''Rebecca Crane''' was a [[Modern Times|modern-day]] [[Assassins|Assassin]] and the creator of the [[Animus|Animus 2.0]] - which she affectionately referred to as "Baby." She also provided technical support for the other members of the Assassin Order alongside her partner, [[Shaun Hastings]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Little information is known about Rebecca's past, though it appears that she was a former sky diver and she was not born into the Assassin Order, she once commented that the Assassins had merely contacted her.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Prior to joining the Order, Rebecca engaged in sports, including extreme snowboarding. However, when she broke her leg, she began pursuing an interest in computers whilst she recovered, and found coding to be as exhilarating as her previous hobbies.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

Before being contacted by the Assassins, Rebecca was dating an electronics engineer.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

Some time after her own recruitment into the Order, Rebecca was responsible for recruiting Shaun. Since he had discovered the company's secrets, Shaun had begun spreading the word about [[Abstergo Industries]]'s ploys, thus provoking unwanted attention. At this, Rebecca attempted to warn him off, saying that he was "messing with the wrong people," though Shaun did not believe her. Shaun later admitted that he would have wound up at the bottom of a river had Rebecca not stepped in to save his life, and bring him into the Order.<ref name="AC2" />

Rebecca was also an old friend of [[Lucy Stillman]], however, after Lucy's internment at Abstergo, the two did not see each other for seven years after 2005. The two only reunited in 2012, after Desmond's and Lucy's [[Escape from Abstergo Industries|escape]] from Abstergo's laboratories.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

At one point, Desmond asked Rebecca if she had ever used the Animus to learn about her ancestors, at which she commented that the lives she had relived were "lame" compared to those of Desmond's ancestors. She continued, complaining on how boring it had been spending the whole day firing guns as a Prussian mercenary.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

===Hiding out===
[[File:RebeccaII Animus.png|thumb|250px|left|Rebecca introduces Desmond to "Baby."]]
In the [[Hideout]], Rebecca served as technical support for the Animus 2.0, ensuring that nothing went wrong with the machine, or with Desmond's interaction with it. She often left notes within the [[Database articles]] that Shaun created, particularly if the entries were for locations that held [[Glyphs]] or [[Assassin's Tombs]].<ref name="AC2" />

After Lucy had given her the memory core of the Abstergo Animus, Rebecca excitedly integrated it with her own; successfully - albeit accidentally - also transferring the encrypted files that [[Subject 16]] had left behind in [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s memories.<ref name="AC2" />

At times when Desmond exited the Animus for a break, Rebecca would speak to him about the Order, and his progress with the machine; once approvingly telling him that he was a natural.<ref name="AC2" />

A little after Desmond received the warning from [[Minerva]], Abstergo found and broke into the hideout. Rebecca helped Shaun pack up the Animus gear, while Desmond and Lucy held off the Abstergo guards. As they escaped in a van, Rebecca managed to set up the Animus within it, and allow Desmond to reenter the [[Renaissance]], and finish any remaining memories while on their way to a base up north.<ref name="AC2" />

===Stay in Monteriggioni===
[[File:Retrieval 19.png|thumb|250px|Rebecca plugging Desmond into the Animus in the sanctuary.]]
After her team had arrived at [[Monteriggioni]], and had gained access to the [[Sanctuary]], Rebecca was again responsible for the Animus, and their other equipment. To power the underground chamber, Rebecca gave Desmond several devices of her own making, which would re-route small amounts of power to their new base, upon being attached to circuit boxes across the town.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

Throughout their stay in the [[Villa Auditore]], Rebecca regularly sent [[Rebecca's e-mail|e-mails]] to her teammates, usually involving minor matters, such as her missing MP3 player, and how Shaun had stolen Lucy's yogurt. Several of them also implied a budding relationship between her and Shaun.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

===Journey to the Colosseum===
[[File:Retrieval 16.png|thumb|250px|left|Rebecca, Shaun and Lucy frozen in time.]]
After Desmond found out the location of the [[Sixth Apple|Apple]], and after the team had arrived at the [[Colosseum]], Lucy took Rebecca and Shaun on an alternative route through Capitoline Hill at Shaun's suggestion, as he and Rebecca did not possess the necessary [[Free Running|free-running]] abilities to reach the Apple's location. When [[Juno]] spoke to Desmond, Rebecca - along with Shaun and Lucy - could neither hear nor see her.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

As Desmond retrieved the Apple, he was taken over by the "[[Those Who Came Before|goddess]]," and forced to stab Lucy. However, once Juno relinquished her control, Rebecca and Shaun appeared physically unharmed.<ref name="Brotherhood" />
===Presiding Over Desmond===
After Lucy´s death, Rebecca, Shaun and Desmond´s father [[William Miles]], preside over Desmond as he was plugged into the Animus.

==Characteristics and personality==
[[File:Becky2.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Rebecca at her computer in the hideout.]]
{{quote|Look, it's not ideal. And taking a life is never easy. But sometimes there's no other way. Sometimes, Desmond, people have to die for things to change.|Rebecca speaking about an Assassin's duties.|Assassin's Creed II}}

Rebecca was an energetic, and somewhat immature young woman. Also, despite the fact that she had saved his life multiple times, Shaun was quick to belittle and gibe at her; though she would never be provoked. At one point, when she commented about a movie as Shaun was speaking of the historical background of the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]], he irritably told her to be quiet since ''"the grownups are talking."''

Rebecca was rather tolerant and optimistic, representing Shaun's foil. As the polar opposite of her colleague, she was friendly and talkative. She showed great pride in her work, praising her redesign of the Animus as having a far more enlightened and creative construct; a ''"competitive edge"'' as she called it.

She also remained convinced that, despite Shaun's dubiousness of their methods, the Assassins were, as Desmond put it, ''"the good guys."''

==Trivia==
*The name "Rebecca" is derived from the Arabic name "Rifqah," which means "company."
*When in the Animus 2.0, Rebecca adds information to the database using the name REBECCAC84. This username holds her first name and the initial of her last name.
*Her e-mail password is Snowmass84, likely to reflect her previous hobby.
*After losing her MP3 player, Rebecca sends an e-mail to her teammates about it, claiming that she ''"can't sleep without it."''
*In one of her e-mails, Rebecca talks about sometimes missing her family, and her dog.
*Rebecca was originally intended to have shorter hair in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', though this was reverted for the actual game.{{Fact}}
*In ''Brotherhood'', it is suggested that Rebecca is a reckless driver, as when she offers to drive the van, Shaun refuses, saying, ''"Ah, nice try. I've seen your car."''
*It is implied that Rebecca is either a vegan or vegetarian, as she calls Desmond a "carnivore" after seeing him eat a burger.
