'''Momochi Sandayu''' (百地三太夫; died 1581) was a [[Japan]]ese ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' who served as a leader of the [[Iga ikki|Iga ''ikki'']] during the late [[Sengoku period]]. He was also a [[Master Assassin]] of the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']], leading the organization alongside [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] and helping her safeguard the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan]].

Following Tsuyu's disappearance and the regalia's theft by the [[Shinbakufu]], Sandayu, as one of the last surviving members of the Kakushiba ''ikki'' alongside [[Fujibayashi Nagato]], forsook his [[Assassins|Assassin]] duties to focus on protecting Iga from outside threats. During Iga's [[Tenshō Iga War|invasion]] by [[Oda Nobunaga]], Sandayu learned that one of the regalia had been hidden by Nagato and that the Shinbakufu would attempt to steal it.

Despite his oath to protect the artifact, Sandayu chose to prioritize Iga's safety and rode to [[Mibuno Castle]] to meet Nobunga's army. There, he would ultimately be slain by Nobunaga's [[samurai]] [[Yasuke]], though not before informing him of Nagato's daughter [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and urging him to find and help her.

==Biography==
===''Shinobi'' mentor===
By 1560, Sandayu had become one of [[Iga]]'s most renowned ''shinobi'' and took on an apprentice, the talented but arrogant [[Hattori Hanzō]].<ref name="InM Ch1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 1|Chapter 1]]</ref> Around this time, he made the acquaintance of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Alvaro Catarribera]] and his apprentice [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]], who had come to Iga to seek his help. The Assassins informed Sandayu about their [[Assassin-Templar War|cause]] and proposed an alliance to fight against the growing [[Templars|Templar]] threat in Japan.<ref name="InM Ch1"/><ref name="Secrets of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Secrets of the Blade]]</ref>

Sandayu accepted and later traveled to a village which had come under attack by two corrupt [[samurai]] demanding tribute. One of the samurai had been defeated by a young farmer named [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]], while the second was killed by Hanzō. Sensing Masayasu's potential, Sandayu introduced himself to him and, against Hanzō's protests that Masayasu was just a farmer and thus unworthy of becoming a ''shinobi'', proposed a sparring contest between Masayasu and Hanzō to test the former's skills.<ref name="InM Ch1"/>

[[File:ACSH InM - Masayasu defeating Hanzo.png|thumb|200px|left|Sandayu breaking up Masayasu and Hanzō's fight]]
Sandayu watched the fight from atop the treetops alongside Catarribera, during which the two discussed their respective apprentices' strengths and weaknesses. Sandayu pointed out that Hanzō's talent was overshadowed by his own arrogance, and expressed his belief that, if Hanzō were to work alongside someone like Tsuyu, he could learn from her and change for the better. To this, Catarribera revealed that Tsuyu's character was still a mystery to him, as she had lived her entire life thinking only about how to fight.<ref name="InM Ch1"/>

After Masayasu managed to defeat Hanzō using underhanded tactics, Sandayu broke up the fight. He briefly reprimanded Hanzō for his pride and insulting Masayasu's status before offering the latter the chance to become a ''shinobi'' under his guidance. Masayasu accepted and later departed the village to commence his training.<ref name="InM Ch1"/>

====Working with the Assassins====
During Masayasu and Hanzō's training, Sandayu informed his pupils that the true reason he was tutoring them was so that they would be ready for a secret mission to protect Japan.<ref name="InM Ch2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 2|Chapter 2]]</ref> He then introduced them to Catarribera and Tsuyu, who proceeded to explain their conflict with the Templar Order and their task from the late Emperor [[Tomohito|Go-Nara]] to safeguard the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan]].<ref name="InM Ch3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 3|Chapter 3]]</ref> After the meeting, Masayasu asked Sandayu privately why he was chosen. He explained Tsuyu saw something in his [[Eagle vision|eyes]] and picked him intuitively.<ref name="InM Ch4">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 4|Chapter 4]]</ref>

However, during one of their trainings, Sandayu's grounds were attacked by his former student [[Toza]] and his ''shinobi'' and the ''[[rōnin]]'' [[Kuroiwa Gonjou-rou]]. He later tracked down Masayasu, who was facing off against Gonjou-rou alone. Before the ''rōnin'' could land a final blow, Sandayu arrived and sliced off his right arm. He later congratulated Masayasu on gaining information but not before realizing they were surrounded by Toza's ''shinobi'' while Gonjou-rou escaped. Fortunately, the ''shinobi'' were later dispatched and killed by Tsuyu swiftly.<ref name="InM Ch7">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 7|Chapter 7]]</ref> After the remaining attackers were all killed, Tsuyu informed them that she intends to leave on her master's request. While Masayasu wanted to go, Tsuyu told him to stay to continue his training before leaving.<ref name="InM Ch8">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 8|Chapter 8]]</ref>

The next year, Sandayu oversaw the continued training of his acolytes before noticing Masayasu sitting and pondering. Joining Masayasu, Sandayu understood how he struggled with his training and his path, then pointed out the new ''shinobi'' being [[Hachi-rou]], one of the samurai he fought last year. He explained that the locals saved him and pushed away from the path of violence. He also stated that Masayasu is special, especially with how he treated his enemies and that in his whole life, he now wanted his other students to be like him. Yet, he ended the discussion stating that he had a choice to stay or to leave.<ref name="InM Ch10">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 10|Chapter 10]]</ref>

Fortunately, Masayasu stayed after Tsuyu convinced him and continued his training.<ref name="InM Ch11">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 11|Chapter 11]]</ref> For the next year, Sandayu also trained with Tsuyu and sparred with her, ending in a win for him. However, he asked her more about her intentions with Masayasu, as he revealed that he knew that she had been watching him before he came here. Tsuyu explained that he heard his mother say that he has a good heart, a rarity in these times, and wanted to see it for herself before she left the grounds.<ref name="InM Ch14">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 14|Chapter 14]]</ref>

Sandayu soon received an update from Hanzō from his mission in [[Mikawa]], where he explained that he learned of a [[slavery|slave]] operation in [[Ise]]. He later had Tsuyu and Masayasu join him and informed them of the message. Quickly, Tsuyu declared to go alone and investigate the claim. Sandayu mentioned that he has an operative and to repeat his name as a code word. Masayasu offered to join but Tsuyu refused and left. Yet, Masayasu defied her and later followed her to Ise.<ref name="InM Ch18">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 18|Chapter 18]]</ref> Fortunately, he received great news when Tsuyu and Masayasu returned, having eliminated the Templar threat in Ise while Hanzō returned from his successful mission in Mikawa. Within a matter of weeks, his students and Tsuyu began training again while he watched their progress with Alvaro. While discussing the Templars' setbacks, Alvaro informed him that he intends to leave Japan for good and have Tsuyu continue his work.<ref name="InM Ch27">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 27|Chapter 27]]</ref>

===The Kakushiba ''ikki''===
[[File:ACSH Tsuyu with Sandayu, Nagato and Hanzo.png|thumb|250px|Sandayu, Nagato, and Hanzō swearing to Tsuyu's creed]]
In time, Sandayu, Hanzō, and Masayasu—who became known as Fujibayashi Nagato—came to join the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']], the brotherhood founded by Catarribera and Tsuyu,<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Meaning of the Blade]]</ref> which the latter assumed control of following her mentor's departure.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/> They all swore an oath to [[the Creed]] to protect the Imperial Regalia and hid the artifacts in a ''[[Old Kofun|kofun]]'' in [[Izumi Settsu]].<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade"/>

Sandayu helped Tsuyu lead the Kakushiba ''ikki'' and find new recruits, including a man named [[Tsubasa]], whom he personally vouched for.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Yamato Assassin Outpost]]</ref> In general, Sandayu was more lenient when it came to accepting new members into the Brotherhood compared to the stern and strict Tsuyu,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Kii Assassin Outpost]]</ref> but nonetheless the Kakushiba ''ikki'' was able to prosper, establishing a number of outposts across Japan while their enemies' influence faded.<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade"/>

However, this all came to an end once Hanzō, who had left the Brotherhood years prior, returned to Iga to inform his old allies that the Imperial Regalia's location had been compromised. Tsuyu summoned all Assassins in Japan to help protect the artifacts, and Sandayu joined them as they fought a mysterious group called the [[Shinbakufu]] at the ''[[Old Kofun|kofun]]'' where the regalia were stored. However, the resulting battle was an onslaught, with Sandayu being one of the few survivors.<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade"/>

When he later returned to Iga, Sandayu informed Nagato of the Assassins' fate and told him that Tsuyu was among the victims. Unbeknownst to him, however, Tsuyu had in fact survived and managed to protect one of the regalia—the jewel ''{{Wiki|Magatama|Yasakani no Magatama}}''—which she entrusted to Nagato before leaving to search for the others.<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade"/> Nagato went on to hide the Jewel in the [[Mihata Kofun]], without ever informing Sandayu of its location or Tsuyu's survival.<ref name="Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki]]</ref>

===Training Fujibayashi Naoe===
{{Dialogue2|Sandayu|Can you fight like your father?|Naoe|Yes, sir, I can. He has taught me.|Then today will be your greatest test. When you are ready, get to the edge of Nagano Pass. Stay low. Do not attack until I give the order.|Sandayu giving orders to Naoe during the defense of Iga, 1579.|Assassin's Creed: Shadows|Shinobi Warfare}}
[[File:ACSH A True Igan 3.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Sandayu gives Naoe a grappling hook for her first assignment]]
On 6 October 1579, Sandayu led the successful [[Tenshō Iga War|defense]] of Iga from the invading army of [[Oda Nobunaga]], commanded by his son [[Oda Nobukatsu]]. During the battle, he allowed [[Fujibayashi Naoe]], Nagato and Tsuyu's daughter, to help the other ''shinobi'', despite her father having forbidden her from taking part in the conflict out of fear for her safety. However, Naoe managed to impress both Nagato and Sandayu by single-handedly killing an enemy samurai.<ref name="Shinobi Warfare">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Shinobi Warfare]]</ref>

Consequently, Sandayu began training Naoe in the ''shinobi'' arts, giving her a [[grappling hook]] and assigning her the task of investigating a suspicious lack of response from their base at [[Kunimiyama Fort]]. After Naoe discovered that the [[fort]] had been taken over by Oda Nobunaga's forces in preparation for a second invasion of Iga, she reported back to Sandayu, who was impressed by the young Igan's talent for espionage and continued to train her.<ref name="A True Igan">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[A True Igan]]</ref>

===Death===
{{Dialogue2|Sandayu|You have not killed me yet. I have one more trick... but not the strength to use it.|Yasuke|Where did you get that? Sandayu! Tell me!|A girl from Iga with the same blade. Trust her. Help her.|Sandayu's dying words to Yasuke, 1581.|Assassin's Creed: Shadows|Mibuno Showdown}}
On 30 September 1581, Sandayu and the other members of the [[Iga ikki|Iga ''ikki'']] initiated Naoe into the league after she had completed her training. Shortly after, Hattori Hanzō unexpectedly arrived and informed his old allies that Oda Nobunaga's forces were marching towards Iga. He then offered them the protection of his lord [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] if they swore loyalty to him, but the ''shinobi'' refused and resolved to defend their homeland by their own means.<ref name="Traditions">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Traditions]]</ref>

[[File:ACSH Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki 8.png|thumb|250px|Sandayu realizing Nagato had possessed the box all along]]
Sandayu and other ''shinobi'' traveled to the [[Aekuni Shrine Town]], where they battled some of the invading [[Oda clan]] soldiers and eventually managed to defeat them with help from Nagato and Naoe. Nagato then handed Sandayu a letter he had received from Hanzō, which revealed that the Shinbakufu were after the Jewel hidden in the Mihata Kofun. Deducing Tsuyu had given him the artifact for safekeeping, Sandayu was furious that Nagato had concealed this information from him and claimed that their oath to protect the Imperial Regalia had died with Tsuyu.<ref name="Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki"/>

After taking a look at Naoe, however, he relented and told Nagato that he understood if he chose to prioritize the Jewel and his daughter's safety over that of Iga. Nagato insisted that he would not abandon his homeland in its time of need, and offered to accompany Sandayu to [[Mibuno Castle]], where they would make their final stand against Nobunaga's army. Nagato then gave Naoe his [[Hidden Blade]] and tasked her to retrive and protect the Jewel while he left with Sandayu.<ref name="Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki"/>

Although the ''shinobi'' put up a brave resistance, they were ultimately overwhelmed by Nobunaga's forces, in part thanks to his samurai [[Yasuke]], who easily destroyed their defenses.<ref name="Spirit of a Warrior">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Spirit of a Warrior]]</ref><ref name="Flames of War">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Flames of War]]</ref> After Nagato left to help Naoe, who had been ambushed by the Shinbakufu,<ref name="Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki"/> Sandayu was left to confront Nobunaga and his men alone. Defying the warlord, the ''shinobi'' challenged him to a duel, but Nobunaga refused, claiming that duels had no place in the "new world" he was trying to build.<ref name="Mibuno Showdown"/>

As Nobunaga's men were about to execute Sandayu with their ''[[Arquebus|teppō]]'', Yasuke intervened and asked that he duel the ''shinobi'' so he could give him a warrior's death. Nobunaga accepted and, after telling Yasuke to bring him Sandayu's head so he could gift it to his "idiot son", took his leave. Sandayu subsequently fought Yasuke, using his ''[[kusarigama]]'' and [[Smoke screen bomb|smoke bombs]] against the samurai, but despite these tricks, he was ultimately defeated. In his final moments, the ''shinobi'' showed Yasuke his Hidden Blade, which the latter immediately recognized. He then asked where Sandayu had got it from, but was only told to find and help a girl with a similar blade before Sandayu succumbed to his wounds.<ref name="Mibuno Showdown">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Mibuno Showdown]]</ref>

[[File:Glyph 10 1.png|thumb|250px|Apollo 11 approaching the Moon]]
The '''Moon''' is a permanent natural satellite of the [[Earth]] and the fifth largest satellite in the {{Wiki|Solar System}}.

==History==
Sometime between 75,010 and 75,000 BCE, the [[Capitoline Triad]] sought a solution to the incoming [[Great Catastrophe|solar flare]] that would strike and scorch the Earth. One of their earliest possible solutions came into being when they discovered that once enough [[human]]s sat in thrall of the [[Piece of Eden|Pieces of Eden]], their thoughts became a reality. With this discovery at hand, the trio sent an [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]] into space to enthrall the Earth so that they could wish the [[sun]]'s threat away, but the Apple's beam was out of place. The trio ultimately sent a dozen Apples into the sky, but they all propelled off their course.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' – [[21st century conversations|Modern day]]</ref> [[Apple of Eden 5|One]] of these Apples crashed on the Moon and remained there for several millennia.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Glyphs|Glyph]] #10: "Apollo"</ref>

In the 1960s, the [[Templars]] sought to recover the Apple from the Moon, and manipulated [[NASA]] into initiating the {{Wiki|Apollo program}}. On 20 July 1969, the Apple was [[Apollo 11|retrieved]] from the Moon's surface by [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Buzz Aldrin]], the first two humans to walk on the Moon.<ref name="AC2" />

In 2012, during his captivity at [[Abstergo Industries]], [[Clay Kaczmarek]] included the Moon and the Apollo program in the [[Glyphs]] he left behind for his successor [[Desmond Miles]] to find and solve.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II''</ref>

==Cultural significance==
The Moon has featured in multiple mythologies throughout the world. Ancient [[Greece|Greeks]] revered the Moon via the goddess [[Artemis]], and considered the crescent moon to be the symbol of [[Nyx]], the goddess of night and darkness.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''</ref> The [[Rome|Romans]] revered the Moon via the goddess [[Diana (deity)|Diana]].<ref name="AC2" /> Ancient [[Egypt]]ians worshipped the Moon via the deities [[Khonsu]] and [[Thoth]]. They also saw the crescent moon in the [[ibis]] bird's bill.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''</ref> Furthermore, the Egyptians believed that while the Sun was the right eye of the god [[Horus]], the Moon was his left.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – [[Bayek's Promise]]: Horus</ref>

Among the native [[Iroquois]], the Moon was said to be the eye of the mythical [[Sky Woman]], with her other eye becoming the Sun.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[Cave paintings]]: "Lighting the Sky"</ref>

'''Konan''' was a [[Japan]]ese ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' and student of [[Momochi Sandayu]] who lived in [[Iga|Iga Province]] during the late [[Sengoku period]].

==Biography==
In 1560, Konan was a student under [[Momochi Sandayu]] and welcomed his new student [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]] to his new quarters. While introducing him around the grounds, they spoke about how Masayasu bested [[Hattori Hanzō]] and his awe of it. However, Konan wished him the best of luck just as Hanzō walked by them.<ref name="Ch 2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 2|Chapter 2]]</ref>

However, one night, the training grounds were attacked by former fellow ''shinobi'' [[Toza]] and his subordinates and the ''[[rōnin]]'' [[Kuroiwa Gonjou-rou]]. Fighting against the ''rōnin'', he was badly injured and retreated into the woods. He soon found Masayasu and told him about being attacked on all sides before fainting from his injuries.<ref name="Ch 6">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 6|Chapter 6]]</ref> Fortunately, he survived the attack while Sandayu's ally [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] managed to kill the ''shinobi'' but Gonjou-rou managed to escape despite losing an arm.<ref name="Ch 7">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 7|Chapter 7]]</ref> Meanwhile, Hanzō killed their leader Toza.<ref name="Ch 8">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 8|Chapter 8]]</ref>

The next year, Konan continued to work under Sandayu and helped train his fellow ''shinobi'', such as [[Hachi-rou]], a former [[samurai]], who attacked Masayasu's village earlier last year, that became reformed.<ref name="Ch 10">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 10|Chapter 10]]</ref> The following year, he became accompanied with Tsuyu, an [[Assassin]], but wondered her purpose here.

The following year, Konan greeted back Hanzō from his mission in Mikawa, which he successfully completed and ridded the Templar presence.

'''Alvaro Catarribera''' was a [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins|Spanish Assassin]] who operated during the 16th century. Despite being excommunicated from the [[Assassins]] for breaking [[the Creed]], he traveled to [[Asia|East Asia]], where he founded the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']], a new [[Assassin Guild]] in [[Japan]], alongside his [[Assassin apprentice|apprentice]], [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]].

==Biography==
===Founding the Kakushiba ''ikki''===
Formerly a member of the Spanish Brotherhood, Catarribera was excommunicated after he killed an innocent girl during a pursuit gone wrong, breaking one of the Creed's tenets. Purposeless, he left [[Spain]] and embarked on a journey to the Far East, spending time in [[Malacca]], [[Republic of China|Formosa]], and finally ending up in [[Macau]].<ref name="Heart of an Assassin">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Rift 2 - The Heart of an Assassin]]</ref>

While in Macau, Catarribera was roused from a drunken haze when he overheard two [[Templars]] speaking of starting an expedition to [[Japan]] to spread their ideals. Loyal to the Assassin cause though no longer a member, Catarribera rediscovered his resolve and, determined to stop the Order's efforts, followed the Templars to [[Nagasaki]] in 1549, using the arrival of the [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] and Templar [[Francis Xavier]]'s delegation as cover and access.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/>

Aboard one of the Templars' ship, Catarribera noticed a young girl running away from the Templar [[Balthazar]]'s men. Instantly, he assassinated both men and told the young girl to hide,.<ref name="CH16"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 16|Chapter 16]]</ref> before the Templar shot at him. Deflecting it, he chased the Templar to the deck but was held at gunpoint once more. Fortunately, the young girl [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] managed to incapacitate the Templar with a bucket and knocked him overboard. Thanking her, Catarribera offered to take her inland but she desired to train under him. While he rejected initially, she begged and promised to kill herself if he did not. Recalling his last mission, he gave into her pleads and offered to train her.<ref name="CH17"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 17|Chapter 17]]</ref>

For nearly more than a decade, Alvaro trained her to follow in his footsteps; this laid the foundation for what eventually became the Kakushiba ''ikki''.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/><ref name="CH17"/> Shortly after establishing their brotherhood, Catarribera and Tsuyu contacted Emperor [[Tomohito|Go-Nara]] for support against the growing Templar threat in Japan.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Secrets of the Blade]]</ref> In return, the emperor entrusted them with the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]], tasking them to keep the three artifacts safe.<ref name="Meaning of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Meaning of the Blade]]</ref>

By 1560, Catarribera had heard rumors about a ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' named [[Momochi Sandayu]] fighting ''[[daimyō]]'' oppression in [[Iga]]. Believing Sandayu had the potential to become a valuable ally, Catarribera and Tsuyu traveled to Iga,<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/> where they met Sandayu and informed him of their [[Assassin-Templar War|cause]].<ref name="ACSHInM 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 1|Chapter 1]]</ref>

Later, Catarribera and Sandayu observed a fight between Sandayu's apprentice [[Hattori Hanzō]] and [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]], a talented young farmer whom Sandayu also hoped to recruit. While spectating the fight from the treetops, the Assassin and ''shinobi'' discussed their respective apprentices' strengths and weaknesses, and Sandayu expressed his belief that, if Hanzō were to work alongside someone like Tsuyu, he could learn from her and change for the better. To this, Catarribera revealed that Tsuyu's character was still a mystery to him even after all these years, as she had lived her entire life thinking only about how to fight.<ref name="ACSHInM 1"/>

Eventually, Sandayu decided to take Masayasu under his wing and train him as a ''shinobi'', after the latter impressed him by beating Hanzō during their fight.<ref name="ACSHInM 1"/> Meanwhile, Catarribera arranged for Tsuyu to continue her training under Sandayu's guidance, and sent her to live and train alongside Masayasu and Hanzō. Before leaving, he explained the Templars' arrival in [[Sakai]] and how their [[New World Order|plan]] for Japan has already commenced.<ref name="ACSHInM 3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 3|Chapter 3]]</ref>

Catarribera later sent a message to his apprentice Tsuyu about his findings. At the ''[[Daisen-ryō Kofun|kofun]]'' in [[Sakai]], Catarribera explains that his investigation led him to possible Templar bases in [[Mikawa]] and [[Nagasaki]] while Tsuyu informed him of the recent attack in Iga. However, he saw that Hanzō had followed them and then offered to investigate Mikawa, his home region. When Catarribera attacked him, Hanzō deduced that the Imperial Regalia was not in Iga but here at this ''[[kofun]]''. Impressed, he gave Hanzō a choice: join the Brotherhood or die. When Hanzō agreed, Catarribera gave him a [[hidden blade]] for Mikawa and ordered Tsuyu back to Iga before leaving for Nagasaki by himself.<ref name="ACSHInM 8">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 8|Chapter 8]]</ref>

In 1562, Alvaro investigated the port city of Nagasaki and sought a target. Chasing him down into a ''tenshu'', he delivered a fatal blow to the [[Japanese Rite of the Templar Order|Japanese Templar]], who taunted him about the Templars' influence already expanded across the land before succumbing to his wounds. Leaving the scene after giving the last rites, he knew that Tsuyu holds a little part of an opportunity to redeem himself.<ref name="ACSHInM 13">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 13|Chapter 13]]</ref> Returning back to Iga, he learns of Hanzō's accomplishments in Mikawa and soon watches Tsuyu spar with Hanzō and Masayasu, proud.

Believing Tsuyu was ready to continue the Kakushiba ''ikki''{{'}}s mission alone, Catarribera gave her the responsibility of the Imperial Regalia and trusted her to protect the artifacts, leaving their brotherhood's future in her hands.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/>

===Legacy===
During his life, Catarribera had kept a journal which eventually came to be stored at their ''kofun''. In 1582, [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] investigated the ''[[Old Kofun|kofun]]'' at Hattori Hanzō's suggestion and found the book. As it was written in {{Wiki|Latin}}, she could not read it and met with her ally [[Yasuke]] for a translation. Thus, the two learned about Catarribera's role in founding the Kakushiba ''ikki'', training Naoe's mother Tsuyu, and safeguarding the Imperial Regalia.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/>

Alvaro Catarribera was a jovial individual, always trying to see the best in people and occasionaly making jokes to lighten the atmosphere; a stark contrast to his apprentice Tsuyu, who remained ever-stoic.<ref name="ACSHInM 1"/>

However, deep inside, Catarribera was haunted by his unintentional murder of an innocent girl and perceived failures as an Assassin, frequently having nightmares in which he would see the girl's face as his [[Hidden Blade]] struck her. For years, he wandered the world aimlessly while trying to drink his sorrows away, until learning about the Templars' planned expansion to Japan, which made him regain his sense of duty. Despite no longer being an Assassin, he felt it was his responsibility to stop the Templars' plans and establish a Brotherhood in Japan to fight against them.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/>

Upon meeting Tsuyu, Catarribera saw the determination in her eyes and her willingness to learn, and trained her as an Assassin to follow in his footsteps. Although he was uncertain whether he could ever achieve redemption for his past transgressions, Catarribera nonetheless resolved to fight in the name of freedom, as he always had, and hoped that the new Brotherhood he built was proof that he never lost faith in the Assassins' [[Assassin-Templar War|cause]].<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/>

==Behind the scenes==
Alvaro Catarribera is a character introduced in the modern-day [[Rifts]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'', through his voice only, before appearing in the game's prequel manga, ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]''. His role as the founder of the Kakushiba ''ikki'', which became the Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins, contradicts information from the 2019 manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun]]'', which concludes with the implication that [[Shao Jun]]'s apprentice, [[Kotetsu]], would found the Japanese Brotherhood.

Despite being a former member of the Spanish Assassins, who were notable for retaining the practice of the ring finger sacrifice long after it was rendered unnecessary by [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s modifications to the Hidden Blade, Catarribera is shown having all of his fingers in ''Tales of Iga''. This could imply that the Spanish Assassins abandoned the practice shortly before Catarribera joined the Brotherhood.

===Etymology===
The name Alvaro, an alternate spelling of Álvaro, is of Spanish and Portuguese origin and is derived from the Germanic {{Wiki|Visigoths|Visigothic}} elements ''alls'' ("all") and ''wars'' ("watchful", "cautious", "guard"). Catarribera is not a common Spanish surname, although it appears to be composed of two elements: "Catarri", possibly derived from the Latin ''cataracta'' ("waterfall"), and "Ribera", which is a common Spanish surname meaning "riverbank".

'''Alvaro Catarribera''' was a [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins|Spanish Assassin]] who operated during the 16th century. Despite being excommunicated from the [[Assassins]] for breaking [[the Creed]], he traveled to [[Asia|East Asia]], where he founded the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']], a new [[Assassin Guild]] in [[Japan]], alongside his [[Assassin apprentice|apprentice]], [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]].

==Biography==
===Founding the Kakushiba ''ikki''===
Formerly a member of the Spanish Brotherhood, Catarribera was excommunicated after he killed an innocent girl during a pursuit gone wrong, breaking one of the Creed's tenets. Purposeless, he left [[Spain]] and embarked on a journey to the Far East, spending time in [[Malacca]], [[Republic of China|Formosa]], and finally ending up in [[Macau]].<ref name="Heart of an Assassin">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Rift 2 - The Heart of an Assassin]]</ref>

While in Macau, Catarribera was roused from a drunken haze when he overheard two [[Templars]] speaking of starting an expedition to [[Japan]] to spread their ideals. Loyal to the Assassin cause though no longer a member, Catarribera rediscovered his resolve and, determined to stop the Order's efforts, followed the Templars to [[Nagasaki]] in 1549, using the arrival of the [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] and Templar [[Francis Xavier]]'s delegation as cover and access.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/>

Aboard one of the Templars' ship, Catarribera noticed a young girl running away from the Templar [[Balthazar]]'s men. Instantly, he assassinated both men and told the young girl to hide,.<ref name="CH16"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 16|Chapter 16]]</ref> before the Templar shot at him. Deflecting it, he chased the Templar to the deck but was held at gunpoint once more. Fortunately, the young girl [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] managed to incapacitate the Templar with a bucket and knocked him overboard. Thanking her, Catarribera offered to take her inland but she desired to train under him. While he rejected initially, she begged and promised to kill herself if he did not. Recalling his last mission, he gave into her pleads and offered to train her.<ref name="CH17"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 17|Chapter 17]]</ref>

For nearly more than a decade, Alvaro trained her to follow in his footsteps; this laid the foundation for what eventually became the Kakushiba ''ikki''.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/><ref name="CH17"/> Shortly after establishing their brotherhood, Catarribera and Tsuyu contacted Emperor [[Tomohito|Go-Nara]] for support against the growing Templar threat in Japan.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Secrets of the Blade]]</ref> In return, the emperor entrusted them with the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]], tasking them to keep the three artifacts safe.<ref name="Meaning of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Meaning of the Blade]]</ref>

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 27''' is the twenty-sixth chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 16 July 2026.

==Summary==
;[[Iga]], 1562 
Alone, [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]] practices his ''[[kuji-kiri]]'' until he senses someone incoming. There, [[Hattori Hanzō]] arrives and greets Masayasu. Instantly, Masayasu rushes to him and embraces him tightly, much to Hanzō's surprise. Looking at each other, they sense that each of them has gone through trials before moving towards the house. Inside, Hanzō sees [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] in traditional robes while [[Konan]] welcomes Hanzō back. Talking together, Hanzō and Tsuyu discuss the events in [[Mikawa]] while she congratulates him on his work. While there, Hanzō becomes flustered but Tsuyu playfully taunts him before reminding them of their work.

Few weeks later, Tsuyu trains alongside Hanzō and Masayasu while [[Momochi Sandayu]] and [[Alvaro Catarribera]] look from afar. They watch their students spar while discussing the [[Templars]]' loss in Mikawa and [[Paulino Massa]]'s death. However, Alvaro mentions that the roots may still lurk within the country. He then notes that he will be leaving [[Japan]] soon and plans to return to [[Europe]]. He sees that Tsuyu is more than capable to train the next students and that the trio are now examples of their work. He recounts the time of how he killed a young girl, how he sees Tsuyu symbolizing that his work here is done, and needs to return to his old Brotherhood.

Later, Hanzō readies himself as he proclaims that he does not want to live in Iga. Picking up a bouquet of flowers, he moves forward to find Tsuyu and reveal his true feelings. Elsewhere, Tsuyu and Masayasu sit together, looking at the [[Moon]], with her head resting on his shoulder.

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 26''' is the twenty-sixth chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 2 July 2026.

==Summary==
;[[Mikawa]], 1562 
While the [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]] continued, [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] sees [[Hattori Hanzō]] above her, surprising [[Paulino Massa]]. While Hanzō checks on Sena, Massa pulls out his [[pistol]] and aims it at the ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]''. Instantly, Hanzō reacts and stabs Massa in the heart with his [[hidden blade]]. Bleeding out, Massa falls onto the floor and speaks of his surprise of not being able to control Hanzō. Hanzō replies that his plans with Sena was never going to happen. Massa states that Hanzō is a result of doing his duty despite of the love aspect before dying. With the fires coming close to the watchtower, he escorts Sena quickly away from the siege.

Moments later, Hanzō reunites Sena with her husband [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]] and her children [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]]. The next day, Takechiyo meets with Hanzō and [[Watanabe Moritsuna]] about the events earlier. Takechiyo first thanks Hanzō for saving his family, looking upon the former [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] guard [[Amano Kageyasu]] play with Nobuyasu. While Moritsuna feels pushed aside, Takechiyo inquires on how Hanzō was able to save Sena. Hanzō reveals that he came upon two guards, one happening to be the son of [[Udono Nagateru]]. The guard had yelled out how he planned to avenge his father against his killers but Hanzō exclaimed the [[Templars]] were responsible and how they had no part of it. However, he also gave no stop and encouraged them to fight if they wished it. However, the guards backed down while Hanzō continued with his mission.

Hanzō recounts that without the initial help from Moritsuna and Kageyasu, none of this would have been possible. Takechiyo thanks him for his mission and for honoring his family's alliance with his clan. When he offers Hanzō a position along with Moritsuna, Hanzō responds that while he is grateful, he has unfinished business in [[Iga]] and plans to follow it through ultimately. Departing, Hanzō bids farewell to Takechiyo's family and heads for Iga.

Massa agrees and holds a new offer to the ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'', which is to save Sena and reveal the Regalia or take her kids and abandon her.

Realizing the choices before him, Hanzō envisions the benefits of his choices: favor from Takechiyo and his [[Hattori Yasunaga|father]] or loyalty to both [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Masayasu]] and [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]]. Using a [[smoke screen bomb|smoke bomb]], he takes Nobuyasu and Kamehime away while Massa was left unsurprised. Despite Nobuyasu's protests, Hanzō continues to lead them out from the burning castle. However, Nobuyasu reminds him of his position and implores him to save his mother for the sake of his {{Wiki|Matsudaira clan|clan}}. Left perplexed and confused, he soon sees himself as a young boy, who asks if he would abandon Tsuyu or Masayasu.

Hanzō soon sees his young self offer flowers, which he recalls from a past memory with his mom, whom all he ever sought from was love. Snapping back into reality, Nobuyasu yells out about the burning platforms around them. With this, Hanzō continues with his mission. Meanwhile, Massa brought Sena to a nearby watchtower and tells her to reassure herself. He begins to tell her that he meant to confuse her kids and the ''shinobi''. He explains that the [[Imagawa clan]] and her clan could have joined powers but with her, his plans could work. He states that neither money nor war is needed but love, and with love, he can convince Matsudaira to join his efforts in exchange for her life. However, much to Sena's surprise, she looks above to see an intense Hanzō.

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 26''' is the twenty-sixth chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 2 July 2026.

==Summary==
;[[Mikawa]], 1562 
While the [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]] continued, [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] sees [[Hattori Hanzō]] above her, surprising [[Paulino Massa]]. While Hanzō checks on Sena, Massa pulls out his [[pistol]] and aims it at the ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]''. Instantly, Hanzō reacts and stabs Massa in the heart with his [[hidden blade]]. Bleeding out, Massa falls onto the floor and speaks of his surprise of not being able to control Hanzō. Hanzō replies that his plans with Sena was never going to happen. Massa states that Hanzō is a result of doing his duty despite of the love aspect before dying. With the fires coming close to the watchtower, he escorts Sena quickly away from the siege.

Moments later, Hanzō reunites Sena with her husband [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]] and her children [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]]. The next day, Takechiyo meets with Hanzō and [[Watanabe Moritsuna]] about the events earlier. Takechiyo first thanks Hanzō for saving his family, looking upon the former [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] guard [[Amano Kageyasu]] play with Nobuyasu. While Moritsuna feels pushed aside, Takechiyo inquires on how Hanzō was able to save Sena. Hanzō reveals that he came upon two guards, one happening to be the son of [[Udono Nagateru]]. The guard had yelled out how he planned to avenge his father against his killers but Hanzō exclaimed the [[Templars]] were responsible and how they had no part of it. However, he also gave no stop and encouraged them to fight if they wished it. However, the guards backed down while Hanzō continued with his mission.

Hanzō recounts that without the initial help from Moritsuna and Kageyasu, none of this would have been possible. Takechiyo thanks him for his mission and for honoring his family's alliance with his clan. When he offers Hanzō a position along with Moritsuna, Hanzō responds that while he is grateful, he has unfinished business in [[Iga]] and plans to follow it through ultimately. Departing, Hanzō bids farewell to Takechiyo's family and heads for Iga.

|language=French
|content=''Dive into the Inquisition and witch hunt in the heart of the French Landes with'' [[Assassin's Creed (series)|Assassin's Creed]]''! 1609. The Inquisition is raging in [[Europe]], massacring thousands of men and women on charges of witchcraft. Raised in the Landes region of France, Margaux and Ermeline, 16 and 17 years old, are initiated into the practices of [[Doctor|healers]] to follow in the footsteps of their adoptive mother, [[Catherine (healer)|Catherine]]. While her youngest sister flourishes in this simple life, between hunting and apothecary, Ermeline dreams of something else, of settling in town, far from the forests of south-west France. This peaceful life comes to an end when Catherine, denounced for witchcraft by a patient, is taken to [[Bayonne]] with her eldest daughter to [[Pierre de Lancre]], a master inquisitor and [[Templars|Templar]] in search of an [[Piece of Eden|artifact]] belonging to said witch. When she refuses to talk, the Templar burns her alive, in front of Margaux, who had managed to flee and hide, and in front of Ermeline, whom he keeps as a hostage and manages to coax. Margaux, distraught, is taken in by [[Isaac du Queyran|Nicodemus]], an [[Assassins|Assassin]] close to Catherine, who will secretly train her in [[the Creed]], while the anger of the French people rumbles against the Inquisition. Separated, the two sisters will have to mourn their happy youth, but also make choices about [[Assassin-Templar War|which path to take]] and which destiny to join. Assassin or Templar? The path of blood, or the path of the heart?''<ref name="FrenchRelease"/>}}

==Summary==
===Prologue===
At Bayonne, running within the [[Château-Vieux]], Judge Pierre de Lancre held his documents and settled in to escape the heat. Impatient, he waited inside the castle while going his directives for the day such as acquiring troops and studying the land where his task leads him. From the documents, he hopes to find what the courts may have overlooked from its testimonies and statements. However, most proved to be made of petty feuds and rivalries. Assessing them, he wants to interview the condemned at the castle's dungeons and to discern the true stories from the fake ones.

As judge, Pierre knows that his rule would be paramount due to his decisions on administering fatal judgments on the so-called "witches". He sees that anyone who strays from the traditions and law will need to disappear. While reading, he soon feels the hand of fellow judge [[Jean d'Espaignet]], whom he despised for his two-faced demeanor. In public, d'Espaignet holds a firm grasp on the law, but in private, he was a drunk and idiotic in his profession. Jean's disregard for etiquette and chastisement leads Pierre to be enraged whilst in his proximity.

Tasked by King [[Henry IV of France|Henry IV]], both Pierre and Jean were tasked to be inquisitors in Bayonne to settle these "ungodly" matters. The region of [[Labourd]] was their destination and noted to be mainly made of women, due to their men working overseas. However, Jean admits that he will not be able to go due to the king's order to have him mediate a situation with [[Spain]]. Elated, Pierre feigns congratulations and wishes Jean well. Jean states that he wished to stay but knows Pierre is more than capable to do the job.

After Jean bids him farewell, Pierre smiles and knows his fellow Templars' plan to stir conflict between Spain and France worked. Alone at the helm, he now has free rein over Labourd and its upcoming trials.

===Chapter One===
Ermeline looks at a flashy robe and wondering about her life away from here, but is placed back on track when Catherine tells her to ready to help a yelling woman. Ermeline is a young seventeen year-old girl who helps Catherine in her surgical sessions and provides a calm demeanor for the patients. In this situation, the patient is ten-months pregnant and the doctors told her to wait, causing her and her husband to seek Catherine's help.

Catherine works as the mid-wife in these situations and her stature and personality was on par with no one else. Her daughters knew all too well. Catherine decides to induce labor and has Ermeline help her ready the procedure. Ermeline wastes no time and finds the necessary equipment, knowing it by heart after five years daily. Retrieving boiling water and setting down the materials, Ermeline prepared the [[tea]] concoction and handed it to Catherine.

Catherine gives the tea to the pregnant woman, who spits it out. Catherine continues to give her the tea and soon the woman becomes calmer. She soon determines that they would have to perform surgery instead of natural birth. Preparing the linens, she mixes them with some essences. Thanking Ermeline, Catherine tells her to leave to rest and take care of the husband outside. Outside, a sad Ermeline takes a breath and goes to the husband. Beginning to reassure the man, the pregnant woman lets out a scream as Catherine makes the first incision. Ermeline stops the man and tries to convince him of how childbirth is usually painful.

The man says that her doctor mentioned her moods were the reason for her late delivery, much to Ermeline's chagrin. Ermeline tells him that it is neither his or his wife's fault but noticed that the doctors did not want to tell a wealthy merchant the truth and waited too late to act. Ermeline comforts the man and tells him that God is testing him and how he will react under his test. The man is shocked at her knowledge of the holy script but the women of Labourd have always held the same level of knowledge of the texts as the men. Yet, she does not care about his views and wishes him hell if he is against her.

An hour passes and Catherine exits the cottage to hand the baby to the father. Telling him that the wife needs to rest, Catherine and Ermeline leave him with the baby. However, Ermeline sees that the surgery did not go well as Catherine tells her to shut the door. She tells her that the woman has lost too much blood and will not survive. Catherine tells her to find the [[Shrouds of Eden|cloth]] but Ermeline asks to wait for Margaux. However, her mother tells her that she was out wandering, which Ermeline always disliked due to her working most of the times with their mother. Also, Ermeline was not fond of using the cloth but Catherine insisted to use to save the woman's life and what good is it without saving those who need it.

Taking the cloth out of its secret compartment, Ermeline placed it on the woman per Catherine's insistence. Soon, the scar on the belly began to heal but slower than usual. However instead of being scared, she lets the cloth work as it tried talking to her. Soon, the woman is fully healed while Ermeline hides the cloth quickly. With the woman awake, she asks how she does not feel any pain. Catherine explains that she is really good with sutures while Ermeline uses the best mixture of balms. Reminding the woman of the bandages, Catherine readies her while Ermeline knows that her mother will receive very little due to all she has does.

While Ermeline wants for them to live in the city and have their medicinal miracles make them wealthy, Catherine had put moot on that idea and wanted no part with jealous city people. Also, Margaux always sees herself outside and loves the fields and the woods while Ermeline condemns her immature behavior. She knows that Margaux also has the tendency to find herself in tremendous trouble.

===Chapter Two===
Margaux lies on top of Mathurin's sheepfold and seeks to enact justice. However, she notices how unwell the man's sheepfold was and how lazy he was in upkeeping his place. Once he left, she climbs down and is greeted by the sheep. Frozen, she looks around but Mathurin did not come back. Finding the goat Blanchette and her kid, she takes them quietly. Seeing how Mathurin tends to his herd, Margaux is tempted to take them all but knows Catherine will be lightly upset with just Blanchette and her kid. Yet, upon leaving, she realizes that this was payback for him stealing Blanchette and her kid in the first place. Back towards the forest, she finds her mother's special walking staff and continues back home.

While taking in the scenery, Margaux stops and feels uneased. With her vision, she spots two [[bandit]]s in the distance. When she blinks, the vision goes away. She has had this gift for a while but she knows that if it becomes public, it would add more unwanted attention to all of them. Although she hides it from them, Margaux had continued to finesse her skill and understood the colors of grey, red, and gold held their own meanings. While walking forwards, she is confronted by the bandits, who threaten her for her money. Studying them, Margaux drops her staff and begs for them for mercy but they refuse. When one bandit goes closer, she immediately attacks and incapacitates him with her staff.

The other bandit, one-armed with a [[sword]], attacks Margaux and grazes her. Fighting against him, she quickly opens a bladed metal point of the staff and manages to kill the bandit. Horrified, she quickly gathers the goats and leaves for home. Stopping herself and crying, she thinks about what to say to Catherine and Ermeline even though it was self-defense. With her dress ripped, all she could do is explain to them. Heartbroken over killing the bandit, Margaux continues her walk home with the goats.

===Chapter Three===
Pierre travels in a carriage to his next destination , but despises how hot it was and how uncomfortable the ride is. Despite his old age of sixty, he perseveres for the mission. Throughout all of July, he looks through all of the alleged cases of witchcraft, but had seen that they were all false or vengeful rumors from one neighbor or enemy. Although he has not found any proof of what he looked for, he still obliged with the pyres and made sure that the King would achieve results, one way or another.

While on his journey, Pierre remarks on how his Templar brothers have made sure that his inquisition will remain unbothered and how his team at the royal commission is made up of Templars, who will help him obtain the clue he needs. While dismissing another case of a madman raving, Pierre continues on the next parish until his horses stop. Lieutenant [[Jehan Sorhaindo]] tells him that the horses are tired and how there is an inn nearby. Annoyed but hungry, Pierre leaves the carriage and then enters the inn. Inside, his men rally together to eat while he eats alone while thinking of his disappointing results.

Disgruntled, Pierre wavers to remain optimistic and wants to prove his worth as a Templar. Yet, he knows that despite the shortcomings in [[Spain]], [[Switzerland]], and Bohemia, he knows that the more supernatural news in an area, the closer he is to an artifact. If not, he will continue to expand the Order's control. While eating, Pierre is interrupted by [[François Ascair]], one of his sleuths, as he points his judge in the direction of a couple with their newborn. When the couple explains their miracle and the work of the expert midwife, Pierre takes their account under his discretion to investigate.

The woman details how her healer had delivered her baby and somehow returned her back to full health. Ascair insinuates that those who have been under the artifact's use are also guilty of those who used it. The woman then recalls a dream that the healer had used a worn but glowing fabric but believes it was her delirium. Pierre's hearts begins to pound harder as he has found evidence of an Isu shroud, like the [[Shroud of Eden 1|one]] that revived [[Jesus of Nazareth|Christ]]. From the Templars' account, there may be only five in the world. With this news, he readies his men, orders the couple for directions, and rides along the countryside towards the midwife's home.

===Chapter Four===
While Ermeline sews her torn dress, she barely pays attention to Margaux recounting her fight with the one-armed bandit. Ermeline reprimands her for not leaving the goats before hugging her and telling her she was scared for her. Margaux states that her training with the malika from her aided her in battle, but Ermeline still mentions that pride is a deadly sin. Looking at Margaux's dress, Ermeline offers to fix it. Margaux chides her skills before being told to go to sleep. Along, Ermeline continues her work in peace while the rest sleeps.

Ermeline becomes frustrated after finishing the dress as she has to do it on occasion instead of getting new clothes, but follows Catherine's directions nonetheless. She still wants to go to Bayonne to interact and have friends her own age. She relaxes reluctantly and goes to sleep. However, within hours, Ermeline wakes up to Margaux who tells her of men near their home. Catherine walks into the room, scared and her eyes twitching. Catherine tells them to ready themselves as she states the new mother slandered her as a witch. With two suitcases, Catherine rushes them again.

Catherine tells them to put on the [[wool]] clothes but not before hearing guards yelling to open the doors. Realizing it was a call of the guards from the [[Spanish Inquisition|king of Spain]], Catherine gives them her savings and a canvas before demanding that they go to Bayonne. With guards calling again, Catherine tells them to go after giving them a hug and telling them that she has to stay due to her hurt ankle. Telling Ermeline to take care of Margaux, Catherine gives her the malika before they left. However, the guards break in, bypassing the midwife and goes for Ermeline, still at the window.

While Ermeline tries to escape, the man pulls her back inside. Margaux tries to pull her forward but the man succeeds and beats the girl down. Lieutenant Sorhaindo throws Catherine on the floor and puts his boot on her throat. However, an older bald man, wearing a red robe, pushes the lieutenant to let Catherine go. The man asks if they are alone, to which Sorhaindo nods yes. On the orders of the caped man, Ermeline and Catherine are tied up and caged into a coach. After having heard their home being thrashed, the caped man exits their home and [[Interrogation|interrogates]] Catherine on a man's location.

With Catherine being uncooperative, the caped man looks and tries to entice Ermeline with her freedom. He introduces himself as Judge Pierre de Lancre and asks her about where to find "it." Ermeline, realizing what he meant, remains quiet. Pierre then grabs her satchel and empties the contents onto the floor, only to find only their remedies. Angry, he commands to burn down their home. Set ablaze, their home burns quickly while Ermeline watches her home destroyed. Pierre then orders them to be taken back to the castle in Bayonne while some guards stayed to contain the fire. Quickly, Catherine and Ermeline are taken away from their home as it turned to ash.

===Chapter Five===
Hiding nearby, Margaux watches as her mother and Ermeline are taken away and her home burns down. Although a guard saves the goat, she sees that a lieutenant ordered his men to search for her. Fortunately, she escapes their eyes and hides within a thicket, which was one of her usual dens. Almost in tears, she regains her composure and plans how to save her family. She plans to wait for an opportunity for her to follow the guards back to Bayonne. Before she can act, she is instantly grabbed by the ankles as a soldier has found her. Grabbing her by the hair, she uses the malika and begins to hit him. Although the soldier still stands, Margaux then headbutts him in the face and knees him in the groin.

Set free and the soldier on his knees, Margaux swings her malika and crushes the soldier's skull, killing the guard instantly. While horrified of how young he was, she looks around, using her gift, and sees soldiers in the distance. She then hides with the body in the thicket but knows to move away and to find a way to her mother and sister. Realizing she is covered in blood, she looks within her bag and through the concoctions her mother made.

Margaux then finds the special cloth her mother Catherine had used and heals her small wounds, to avoid any small infection. Using her vision, she makes sure that she is not being tracked while follows the coach's trail. However, the trail was muddled with other tracks and there was no other way to follow them. Then, Margaux recalls that a man named "Nicodemus" informed Catherine of their arrival in Bayonne. Thus, she planned to locate Nicodemus when she arrives in Bayonne.

===Chapter Six===
Pierre arrives back at the castle, eased at being back at his work. Inside, he decompresses while he orders the prisoners to the dungeons. After taking a nice, cold bath, he starts to work on his report, which happened to be his first invalid writing, to ensure their capture was just to his king. After some hours, he ordered Sorhaindo to take the women into the interrogation room, hoping that the device would strike terror into their hearts. Having chained Catherine and Ermeline to the wall, the judge sees the girl scared while the woman remains brave. When he tells the general to leave, Sorhaindo responded to asking to stay again. Knowing the general and his family's resume, de Lancre bides his time with him until he can frame his family with any of the perceived witches he has locked up.

While Pierre explains that it is a pre-eliminatory, Sorhaindo remains skeptical to his procedure and implores the judge to stay in the room. However, the judge orders him away while he conducts the interrogation. The lieutenant tries to respond but leaves while noticing de Lancre's demeanor change. When Catherine makes a slight remark of his authority, the judge begins to choke the woman while Ermeline screams for him to stop. The judge tells them that they will address him accordingly or they will suffer the same act or worse, to which both women agree. He then asks about the Shroud's location. Catherine whispers and tells him that it is where the [[Sun]] does not shine and then laughs aet him. The judge begins to slap her repeatedly but Catherine does not break. He then pushes his finger into her eye, causing Catherine to scream and Ermeline to yell at him.

Pierre then turns to Ermeline and tries to convince her to talk. Catherine dissuades her not to do so but Pierre gags her. He asks her about the shroud's location while Catherine shakes her head in disagreement. Ermeline states that she does not know what he wants. Done with them, he leaves them and opens the door, only to find Sorhaindo waiting. Telling the general to take them to the dungeon again, he leaves but is left bewildered at Catherine's strength. He begins to sign Catherine's execution order.

===Chapter Seven===
Margaux fortunately makes her way easily to Bayonne, which she is astounded by due to the comparison of the countryside of Labourd. Using the survival skills taught by Catherine, she made sure to find all the wild herbs, such as mugwort and wormwood, but grows emotional as she reminds herself that she is alone. After three days, she comes upon the gate within Bayonne but starts to wonder how to enter. Coincidentally, rain starts to pour, providing an opportunity to [[Blending|blend]] in with her hood among the locals. Inside the city, she feels out of sorts and is knocked down multiple times by strangers moving out of the rain.

While passing through the city's taverns, Margaux stays by the sea and takes in the water for the first time. However, a port worker tells her to move which causes her to go back into the city. Hungry, she looks around as she does not know how the city-life works and only sees large, black [[rat]]s as a reluctant option. A more pressing issue of money comes to play and she begins to think to sell her malika. Fortunately, she finds an apothecary, where she may be able to sell her herbs, and goes inside the building. However, the owner gives her few [[copper]] coins due to the small amounts of each herb she had.

However, Margaux then unloads the bottles, which the owner smells and then offers her more money. With this, she soon asks the man about where they keep witches. The man frowns and states that Judge Lancre keeps at them at the castle if not burning the poor instead. Yet, he stops the conversation before more can be said, to which Margaux concurs. Before leaving, she asks if he knew about Nicodemus, to which the man turns pale. He rushes her out and tells her not to return. Confused, she leaves the shop but still looks around for food as her belly begins to growl.

===Chapter Eight===
A week has passed while Ermeline has been kept in the castle, a cell away from her mother. Ermeline prays for her sister while she overhears that other prisoners were claimed to be witches or working with the Devil. She speaks with Catherine about possibly trading the magical cloth for their freedom, but her mother rebuffs the idea. However, Ermeline believes the judge to be rational, despite his violent tendencies. At the end of the week, she wakes up after hearing Catherine wheezing uncontrollably. Worried for her mother, Ermeline calls for help but is reluctant to deal with the lieutenant.

Although Sorhaindo admits that a doctor will not visit, Ermeline harshly requests for herbs from an apothecary to help her mother. He explains that he cannot allow any visitors while Ermeline asks why he is here then. He then admits that Lancre has signed for Catherine's execution this afternoon, much to Ermeline's shock. Sorhaindo offers his condolences but Ermeline rejects his words. He admits that he does not agree with Lancre's decision but it falls on deaf ears. He explains that the judge has forged documents and statements of Catherine involving herself into witchcraft and multiple counts of assaults.

While Ermeline is shocked at this, Catherine just rebuffs the new information while Sorhaindo admits that the truth will show if she is innocent. However, Catherine asks if he believes that God will intervene. Sorhaindo asks one last time if they have something new to offer him to spare Bayonne more of this violence. When Catherine mentions the [[The Creed|Creed]], the lieutenant becomes confused but Catherine retracts her mention. Catherine yells at the man to leave and waits for her and Ermeline to be left alone. Catherine then tells her that the garment she received was from Margaux's mother and how she adopted her and Ermeline. Shocked, Ermeline listens as Catherine explains her past studying under a master of the apothecary.

Catherine explains that it was there that she met Nicodemus but saw him only wanting to know antidotes and poisons. After time, they became close friends while telling Ermeline that despite her intelligence, her sex and dark skin always made people look at her with such hatred. Only besides him, she felt somewhat safe from their animosity. After their master died, Catherine moved to Bordeaux as Nicodemus aided her in fixing the place up. After he left, it had been years. Then, he came back with a pregnant friend, [[Florine]], who gave birth to Margaux. Ermeline asks who her mother was while Catherine explains that she was the result of a local woman impregnated and left alone. After she was born, her mother died in childbirth.

Moving the story along, Catherine then tells her that Nicodemus and Florine belonged to an order that protected hidden relics like the cloth they used. When Florine and Nicodemus found out she was pregnant, they moved quickly as Florine nearly died in childbirth. Fortunately, Nicodemus used the cloth to save her. Afterwards, Nicodemus and Florine handed Catherine the cloth and Margaux to keep safe while they left. Before long, they did not see each other but Nicodemus sent her a pigeon informing her of the judge's visit but it was too late. Catherine apologizes for not keeping Ermeline away from her last moments before death.

Catherine tells her that she will die out of loyalty to Nicodemus but Ermeline pleads for her to tell the judge. Catherine tells her that the judge belongs to a group of people who seek to control all and will abuse the cloth's power for their own gain. She tells Ermeline to keep her secret away from the judge and his men. Overwhelmed, Ermeline promises her mom to keep their secret.

===Chapter Nine===
Margaux has spent days observing the layout of the castle and the guards' routines. However, with limited resources and the castle housing multiple servants and militiamen, she begins to see the men who took her mother and sister away from her. She learns the man in red was Judge Pierre de Rosteguy de Lancre and the bearded man was Lieutenant Jehan Sorhaindo, tasked to protect the judge. While the judge stays inside the castle, Jehan left the castle to rest or loiter elsewhere. She figures that she cannot face Jehan and his troupe alone and has failed gaining a job inside the castle. She also sees that yelling out for their release would lead to her being jailed. Although too risky, she decides to infiltrate the castle at night. Using the last of her money, she buys a small meal to gain energy to sneak inside the castle.

While inside a inn, Margaux notices the people celebrating but then learns that public execution of a witch will occur. She asks why they are celebrating but the patrons look at her weirdly while continuing their festivities. However, she comes upon a table of disgruntled citizens who remark on the increase of prisoners, those who are not even guilty but chosen due to their opposition to Lancre and how at this point, their city will soon be made of ashes. Overwhelmed, she leaves the inn to breathe. Yet, she comes across a commotion and a midwife prisoner is being escorted out from the prison. Closer, she realizes that it is Catherine.

While Catherine is pelted by veggies, Margaux follows her trail. Angry, she pushes through the crowd until she is stopped by a hooded man. While she tries to move away, he introduces himself as Nicodemus. He explains that they have to leave but forces her to stop. In pain, she is ordered to use her vision. Resistant at first, she finally uses it and sees nearly all in front of her as enemies. When she looks at him, all she sees is a golden aura. While he tries to have her leave, she catches sight of Catherine gagged as the pyre is lit. It is too late as Catherine burns alive. She is then pulled back and struggles against Nicodemus, who places something over her face. Before she can move, she starts to lose consciousness and begins to dream of the scarlet fire.

===Chapter Ten===
Pierre meets with a fellow Templar agent, [[La Morguy]], who reveals that she has been sent to supervise on Pierre's nightly activities and his search for the Shroud, much to his surprise and ire. She calms down tensions as she was told to aid in his efforts. Looking at the guise she has, he notices that she has come from either nobility or upper middle class, as most high ranking members do. To his annoyance, he hates the idea of a young woman watching him. To fit his in his circle, she states that she will play a repentant witch, which she will use to convince Ermeline. While Pierre was impressed, La Morguy berated the choice of having Catherine executed since she could have given the location of the Shroud. He explains that she would have not budged and it was the right move towards Ermeline. When she asked how, he admitted that he was the most talented interrogator in the Order.

Much to her disbelief, La Morguy wonders how. Pierre explains that his reputation as a butcher has fooled most, even some high-ranking member it seems. Reputation of being such a monster can lean Ermeline to not face such wrath and loosen her tongue to them. However, he further divulges that due to the time he has, Catherine's execution was necessary and now he can work even more effectively, just through conversation. While she is intrigued, Pierre stated that he will show her as they soon moved towards Ermeline's cell. They see that she had been crying and has not touched her food, which has been nibbled by [[rat]]s. When he speaks to a dull Ermeline, he explains why Catherine had to die due to the artifact she held. However, Ermeline explains that he lies and knows from Sorhaindo revealed what he did. However, Pierre knew of his betrayal, due to having Ascair having followed the lieutenant.

Thus, Pierre admitted that he did lie, only to make sure that the Shroud remain a tight secret. He explains that the Shroud might be taken or destroyed upon its reveal and how people act with the unknown. With Ermeline giving her understanding, Pierre states that his duty is to maintain order at any costs. He soon sees that Ermeline cannot argue against such facts and logic. When she asks why she did not die with Catherine, he states that she is a girl who was forced by her mother. He knows that this kind of judgment would be unjust, much to Ermeline's surprise. Entering the conversation, La Morguy enters her disguise as a former witch and tries to convince Ermeline to renounce her evil. Although Ermeline remains skeptical, Morguy introduces her circumstances and how Pierre has promised her to be baptized.

While Morguy is impressed by Pierre's methods, Pierre convinces Ermeline to regret her decision. The young girl admits her to not liking the Shroud. Pierre also reveals that he knows that Catherine was her adopted mother, which was information he found out from Ascair's sleuthing. He also knows that Ermeline's sister holds the artifact, which is one piece of information he knew from his own investigation. Although Ermeline rejects his questioning, he assures her that she will be safe under his custody or she will die in this city or be killed and denounced as a witch. He continues to tell her that she will be thankful to be free. Ermeline questions the remark, to which he explains that Catherine tried to impose her own lifestyle on her, to which Ermeline hesitated to retort. He promises to move her to a cleaner, suitable place but Ermeline continues to oppose his deal.

Leaving her cell, Pierre and La Morguy debate whether his methods was effective. Pierre explains that Ermeline's expressions revealed that her sister Margaux is in Bayonne and how they were entrusted a mission with the Shroud. While she remained unconvinced, he continues to infer that the city must hold an accomplice or an ally to their family. She deduces an Assassin was here and believes it might be "Nicodemus", a name Pierre heard of before. Nicodemus was an Assassin who broke into a vault of the Templars' headquarters and killed many Templars in the process. Yet, no one knows what he stole. With this new information, Pierre nears closer to both the Shroud and the location of this Assassin. La Morguy admits that she underestimated him while he reminds her that he is the best interrogator in the Order.

===Chapter Eleven===
Margaux finally wakes up drowsy as Nicodemus appears in front of her. Telling her to calm down, he reveals that Catherine is dead, causing the girl to cry intensely. He explains that Catherine told him to make sure her girls never saw her die, something he regrets. He further divulges that due to her alliance, his enemies, the Templars, discovered her being with the Assassins, at the very least. While he admits that killing is a last resort, Margaux rejects that notion. He then reveals that he knows that she killed before from Catherine's last letter and that they have to meet others now. Leaving her malika, she followed Nicodemus onto Bayonne's streets but is still drowsy. While he tells to keep up, she yells at them, attracting many [[owl]]s to look at them. Making sure the coast is clear from her outburst, they continue until they come across a burned pyre.

There, Margaux feels overwhelm and notes that is where Catherine died. Rushing her along, Nicodemus tells her that this display angers and saddens him, too. He explains that they were friends for more than two decades while she objects of seeing no tears. He continues to state his emotions fuel him to think and then act rather than to feel, like her. She does not want to become like him but he states that she can walk like him. Still rejecting his claim, she follows him to a bank along the [[Nive]] and pass the militia near a warehouse. Behind the warehouse, he leads to a torn sail but surprises her with showing a secret entrance. Opening it to the stairs, they both walk down the passage while he closes the entrance. He explains that they are the first to use this passage in a while compared to others who use the city entrances.

Nevertheless, they tread forward to a room, where there are few seats and a table. Suddenly, three Assassins appear while Nicodemus heads towards Master [[Avicenne]], who welcomes him back. Asking if he has it, Avicenne soon receives the box from Margaux's belongings but inspects it to be safe. Soon, the [[Master Assassin]] looks over the shroud, sighs with relief, and puts it back into box. However, he reprimands Nicodemus, stating that the mission took sixteen years, while Nicodemus explains that he was being watched and could not risk losing it. While he explains that Catherine kept it safe, Avicenne sheds no doubt in her but how use of it leads the Order to send their hounds. He continues to say that despite the sixteen years, the Order still burned her alive for her part.

When Avicenne asks who the girl was, Margaux reveals her intentions to kill Pierre for abducting her sister and killing Catherine. Avicenne interrupts her and states that he is part of the Templars, yet Margaux explains that she only cares to kill Pierre. However, Avicenne states that she is the splitting image of her real mother [[Florine]], an Assassin. Shocked, Margaux is taken aback while Nicodemus explains that he had not told her yet, struggling to compose himself. Avicenne soon asks Margaux if she knows how to use the shroud and if she hears the [[Consus|voice]]. Margaux concurs. Avicenne states that she is lucky that her blood allowed her to understand it just like her fallen mother. Realizing the potential, the Master Assassin tasks Nicodemus to train her as best as she can and to come to them when she is ready and chooses their path. Margaux asks for her sister but Avicenne explains that she is kept by the Templars and cannot rescue her.

With this, the other Assassins leave but Margaux confronts Avicenne, calling all them cowards. Avicenne rushes towards her and states their survival is vital before trying to leave. However, Margaux remarks her sister Ermeline can use the shroud too and has aided Catherine before. Hesitating, Avicenne tells her that they will meet in a week. Stumped, Margaux is told to train under Nicodemus but to remain hidden as the Templars may know that she holds the shroud. He does give his word to try and find a way to save Ermeline. He also tells Margaux that they offer a way to train her and how she may leave Bayonne in a week. Margaux still pleads to save her sister but Avicenne notes they are weak and cannot do anything before leaving. Nicodemus, without looking at Margaux, tells her that they need to leave but have much to discuss.

[[File:ACSH InM Owl 1.png|thumb|230px|An owl outside the Imagawa Mansion]]
An '''owl''' is one of several species of [[bird]]s belonging to the {{Wiki|genus}} ''{{Wiki|Strix (bird)|Strix}}'', which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey. Owls can be found all around the world except for the polar ice caps and remote islands. They hunt and subsist on small mammals, insects and smaller birds, though there are cases where they also hunt for fish.<ref>{{WP|Owl}}</ref>

==Mythology==
In [[Greek mythology]], owls were associated with wisdom, vigilance and the godess [[Minerva|Athena]].<ref name="ACOD">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''</ref>

==History==
During the [[Peloponnesian War]], [[Athens]]' symbol was the owl due to its patron deity Athena. The owl insignia was found on everything from the weapons and armor used by the [[Athenian military]], to the city-state's [[drachma]]e and statues.<ref name="ACOD"/>

In 2013, the [[Sample 17 Project]] supervisor [[Melanie Lemay]] jokingly compared the unkept beards of [[Piracy|pirates]], such as those seen in [[Edward Kenway]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], to owl nests.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Database: Benjamin Hornigold]]</ref>

{{Imageneed}}
'''Mikawa''' (三河国; ''Mikawa no Kuni'') was a province of [[Japan]] whose territory now consists of the eastern half of {{Wiki|Aichi Prefecture}} in the present day. During the [[Sengoku period]], the province bordered {{Wiki|Owari Province|Owari}} to the west, {{Wiki|Mino Province|Mino}} and {{Wiki|Shinano Province|Shinano}} to the north, and {{Wiki|Tōtōmi Province|Tōtōmi}} to the east.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Mikawa Province}}</ref>

==History==
By 1560, Mikawa became embroiled in the [[Assassin-Templar War|fight]] between the [[Assassins]] and the [[Templars]]. [[Italy|Italian]] Templar and [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] [[Paulino Massa]] met with [[Imagawa Ujizane]],<ref name="Ch 9">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref> whom he recruited into the Templar Order.<ref name="Ch12">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref> Together, they planned to find and steal the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]] in order to take control of the country and defeat both their enemies, the [[Oda clan]] and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]].<ref name="Ch 9"/>

In 1561, however, Massa and Ujizane's plans to attack [[Iga]]n ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' master [[Momochi Sandayu]] and learn of the Regalia's location failed due to the interference of the Assassins. As a result, [[Master Assassin]] [[Alvaro Catarribera]] and his [[Assassin apprentice|apprentice]] sent their new ally and acolyte [[Hattori Hanzō]] back to his homeland to investigate the Templar presence.<ref name="Ch 9"/> While there, he caught the attention of fellow retainer to the Matsudaira clan, [[Watanabe Moritsuna]],<ref name="Ch 10">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 10|Chapter 10]]</ref> who took him to meet with Takechiyo.<ref name="Ch 11">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 11|Chapter 11]]</ref>

Meeting with Takechiyo, Hanzō met with the ''[[daimyō]]'' and learned of his wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|his]] [[Kamehime|children]] being held captive at [[Imagawa Mansion]] by Ujizane. Takechiyo also admitted of a growing [[Europe|European]] presence and mentioned a unique [[Templar insignia|cross]] around a priest's neck. With this, Hanzō agreed to help Moritsuna and rescue Takechiyo's family.<ref name="Ch 12">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref>

In 1562, Hanzō and Moritusuna planned a secret infiltration, with Hanzō solely making his way onto the mansion's grounds. Inside, he looked for the captives but came upon a harsh discussion between [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] retainer [[Udono Nagateru]] and a concubine [[Okiku]]. Unfortunately, he witnessed Nagateru [[poison]] the young woman over her failed contribution to the clan and sadly moved forward to find Sena and the kids.<ref name="Ch 13">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 13|Chapter 13]]</ref> While there, Hanzō learned more about the Templars' business, especially in [[slavery]], and sent a message back to Sandayu and his allies about his findings.<ref name="Ch 18">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 18|Chapter 18]]</ref>

Hanzō continued to inspect the premise to find Takechiyo's family. However, he was seen by Imagawa soldier [[Amano Kageyasu]] and nearly killed him. However, Kageyasu offered to help as he grew tired of the Imagawa clan. Taking him to Sena's cell, Hanzō finds a dead woman, upsetting him.<ref name="Ch 22">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 22|Chapter 22]]</ref> Instantly bereft, Hanzō saw his hopes dashed while Ujizane confronted Hanzō there and began to mock him, only to be knocked out by Kageyasu. They later escaped and met up with Moritsuna, despite not having Sena and her children. However, Kageyasu assured them that Sena was not dead.<ref name="Ch 23">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref>

While running, Hanzō and Moritsuna noticed Nagateru riding past them, while holding Sena hostage, towards [[Kaminogō Castle]]. Hanzō pledged to infiltrate the castle alone while Moritsuna and Kageyasu were told to head to Takechiyo.<ref name="Ch 23"/> At the castle, Nagateru held Sena and her kids hostage but they were found by Hanzō, who nearly killed Nagateru. However, Massa stopped it while introducing himself, much to Nagateru's chagrin. With this insult, Massa dismissed and killed Nagateru before holding Sena and her children at gunpoint. He then posed a choice to Hanzō, the location of the Imperial Regalia for their lives, while their surroundings became aflame as Takechiyo launched an [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|assault]] on the castle.<ref name="Ch 24">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

Yet, Sena took it upon herself and held a ''[[tantō]]'' to her neck, urging Massa to free her kids and keep her alone. Massa agreed and despite taking a moment, Hanzō saved her kids while leaving her with Massa. Also leaving the castle, Massa admitted that Sena's purpose was actually to be used as a means to have Takechiyo's support for his cause. Yet, she suddenly noticed Hanzō return<ref name="Ch 25">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref> as he jumped down to safeguard her. Before Massa could act, Hanzō assassinated him and then escorted Sena and her kids back to Takechiyo. The next day, Takechiyo offered him a spot along with Moritsuna but he responded that he needed to go back to Iga. He bid farewell to Takechiyo's family before leaving.<ref name="Ch 26">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

'''Alvaro Catarribera''' was a [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins|Spanish Assassin]] who operated during the 16th century. Despite being excommunicated from the [[Assassins]] for breaking [[the Creed]], he traveled to [[Asia|East Asia]], where he founded the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']], a new [[Assassin Guild]] in [[Japan]], alongside his [[Assassin apprentice|apprentice]], [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]].

==Biography==
===Founding the Kakushiba ''ikki''===
Formerly a member of the Spanish Brotherhood, Catarribera was excommunicated after he killed an innocent girl during a pursuit gone wrong, breaking one of the Creed's tenets. Purposeless, he left [[Spain]] and embarked on a journey to the Far East, spending time in [[Malacca]], [[Republic of China|Formosa]], and finally ending up in [[Macau]].<ref name="Heart of an Assassin">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Rift 2 - The Heart of an Assassin]]</ref>

While in Macau, Catarribera was roused from a drunken haze when he overheard two [[Templars]] speaking of starting an expedition to [[Japan]] to spread their ideals. Loyal to the Assassin cause though no longer a member, Catarribera rediscovered his resolve and, determined to stop the Order's efforts, followed the Templars to [[Nagasaki]] in 1549, using the arrival of the [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] and Templar [[Francis Xavier]]'s delegation as cover and access.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/>

Aboard one of the Templars' ship, Catarribera noticed a young girl running away from the Templar [[Balthazar]]'s men. Instantly, he assassinated both men and told the young girl to hide,.<ref name="CH16"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 16|Chapter 16]]</ref> before the Templar shot at him. Deflecting it, he chased the Templar to the deck but was held at gunpoint once more. Fortunately, the young girl [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] managed to incapacitate the Templar with a bucket and knocked him overboard. Thanking her, Catarribera offered to take her inland but she desired to train under him. While he rejected initially, she begged and promised to kill herself if he did not. Recalling his last mission, he gave into her pleads and offered to train her.<ref name="CH17"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 17|Chapter 17]]</ref>

For nearly more than a decade, Alvaro trained her to follow in his footsteps; this laid the foundation for what eventually became the Kakushiba ''ikki''.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/><ref name="CH17"/> Shortly after establishing their brotherhood, Catarribera and Tsuyu contacted Emperor [[Tomohito|Go-Nara]] for support against the growing Templar threat in Japan.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Secrets of the Blade]]</ref> In return, the emperor entrusted them with the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]], tasking them to keep the three artifacts safe.<ref name="Meaning of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Meaning of the Blade]]</ref>

===Passing the torch===
{{Quote|Today I announced my departure to Tsuyu. I gave her the task of protecting the objects... to keep their secrets. The balance of Japan rests with her. We live in shadow to serve the light.|Catarribera's final words in his journal.|Assassin's Creed: Shadows|Secrets of the Blade}}
By 1560, Catarribera had heard rumors about a ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' named [[Momochi Sandayu]] fighting ''[[daimyō]]'' oppression in [[Iga]]. Believing Sandayu had the potential to become a valuable ally, Catarribera and Tsuyu traveled to Iga,<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/> where they met Sandayu and informed him of their [[Assassin-Templar War|cause]].<ref name="ACSHInM 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 1|Chapter 1]]</ref>

Later, Catarribera and Sandayu observed a fight between Sandayu's apprentice [[Hattori Hanzō]] and [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]], a talented young farmer whom Sandayu also hoped to recruit. While spectating the fight from the treetops, the Assassin and ''shinobi'' discussed their respective apprentices' strengths and weaknesses, and Sandayu expressed his belief that, if Hanzō were to work alongside someone like Tsuyu, he could learn from her and change for the better. To this, Catarribera revealed that Tsuyu's character was still a mystery to him even after all these years, as she had lived her entire life thinking only about how to fight.<ref name="ACSHInM 1"/>

Eventually, Sandayu decided to take Masayasu under his wing and train him as a ''shinobi'', after the latter impressed him by beating Hanzō during their fight.<ref name="ACSHInM 1"/> Meanwhile, Catarribera arranged for Tsuyu to continue her training under Sandayu's guidance, and sent her to live and train alongside Masayasu and Hanzō. Before leaving, he explained the Templars' arrival in [[Sakai]] and how their [[New World Order|plan]] for Japan has already commenced.<ref name="ACSHInM 3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 3|Chapter 3]]</ref>

Catarribera later sent a message to his apprentice Tsuyu about his findings. At the ''[[Daisen-ryō Kofun|kofun]]'' in [[Sakai]], Catarribera explains that his investigation led him to possible Templar bases in [[Mikawa]] and [[Nagasaki]] while Tsuyu informed him of the recent attack in Iga. However, he saw that Hanzō had followed them and then offered to investigate Mikawa, his home region. When Catarribera attacked him, Hanzō deduced that the Imperial Regalia was not in Iga but here at this ''[[kofun]]''. Impressed, he gave Hanzō a choice: join the Brotherhood or die. When Hanzō agreed, Catarribera gave him a [[hidden blade]] for Mikawa and ordered Tsuyu back to Iga before leaving for Nagasaki by himself.<ref name="ACSHInM 8">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 8|Chapter 8]]</ref>

In 1562, Alvaro investigated the port city of Nagasaki and sought a target. Chasing him down into a ''tenshu'', he delivered a fatal blow to the [[Japanese Rite of the Templar Order|Japanese Templar]], who taunted him about the Templars' influence already expanded across the land before succumbing to his wounds. Leaving the scene after giving the last rites, he knew that Tsuyu holds a little part of an opportunity to redeem himself.<ref name="ACSHInM 13">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 13|Chapter 13]]</ref>

Believing Tsuyu was ready to continue the Kakushiba ''ikki''{{'}}s mission alone, Catarribera gave her the responsibility of the Imperial Regalia and trusted her to protect the artifacts, leaving their brotherhood's future in her hands.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/>

===Legacy===
During his life, Catarribera had kept a journal which eventually came to be stored at their ''kofun''. In 1582, [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] investigated the ''[[Old Kofun|kofun]]'' at Hattori Hanzō's suggestion and found the book. As it was written in {{Wiki|Latin}}, she could not read it and met with her ally [[Yasuke]] for a translation. Thus, the two learned about Catarribera's role in founding the Kakushiba ''ikki'', training Naoe's mother Tsuyu, and safeguarding the Imperial Regalia.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/>

==Personality and traits==
{{Quote|A young girl, fear and confusion etched into her lifeless eyes. My hidden blade, bright and sticky with the waxy sheen of her blood. To this day, I do not know her name. It is likely for the best. One thing to have nightmares. Another thing to know them on a first-name basis. A nightmare that has pursued me since my excommunication from the Brotherhood.|Catarribera talking about his nightmares.|Animus Hub|Database: Rift 2 - The Heart of an Assassin}}
Alvaro Catarribera was a jovial individual, always trying to see the best in people and occasionaly making jokes to lighten the atmosphere; a stark contrast to his apprentice Tsuyu, who remained ever-stoic.<ref name="ACSHInM 1"/>

However, deep inside, Catarribera was haunted by his unintentional murder of an innocent girl and perceived failures as an Assassin, frequently having nightmares in which he would see the girl's face as his [[Hidden Blade]] struck her. For years, he wandered the world aimlessly while trying to drink his sorrows away, until learning about the Templars' planned expansion to Japan, which made him regain his sense of duty. Despite no longer being an Assassin, he felt it was his responsibility to stop the Templars' plans and establish a Brotherhood in Japan to fight against them.<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/>

Upon meeting Tsuyu, Catarribera saw the determination in her eyes and her willingness to learn, and trained her as an Assassin to follow in his footsteps. Although he was uncertain whether he could ever achieve redemption for his past transgressions, Catarribera nonetheless resolved to fight in the name of freedom, as he always had, and hoped that the new Brotherhood he built was proof that he never lost faith in the Assassins' [[Assassin-Templar War|cause]].<ref name="Heart of an Assassin"/>

==Behind the scenes==
Alvaro Catarribera is a character introduced in the modern-day [[Rifts]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'', through his voice only, before appearing in the game's prequel manga, ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]''. His role as the founder of the Kakushiba ''ikki'', which became the Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins, contradicts information from the 2019 manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun]]'', which concludes with the implication that [[Shao Jun]]'s apprentice, [[Kotetsu]], would found the Japanese Brotherhood.

Despite being a former member of the Spanish Assassins, who were notable for retaining the practice of the ring finger sacrifice long after it was rendered unnecessary by [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s modifications to the Hidden Blade, Catarribera is shown having all of his fingers in ''Tales of Iga''. This could imply that the Spanish Assassins abandoned the practice shortly before Catarribera joined the Brotherhood.

===Etymology===
The name Alvaro, an alternate spelling of Álvaro, is of Spanish and Portuguese origin and is derived from the Germanic {{Wiki|Visigoths|Visigothic}} elements ''alls'' ("all") and ''wars'' ("watchful", "cautious", "guard"). Catarribera is not a common Spanish surname, although it appears to be composed of two elements: "Catarri", possibly derived from the Latin ''cataracta'' ("waterfall"), and "Ribera", which is a common Spanish surname meaning "riverbank".

'''Balthazar''' (died 1562) was a [[Portugal|Portuguese]] captain, slaver, and a member of the [[Portuguese Rite of the Templar Order|Portuguese Rite]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] during the [[Sengoku period]].

==Biography==
In 1549, Balthazar worked with local [[monk]]s in [[Izumi Settsu]] and trafficked people into servitude for his homeland. Through his subordinates, he was able to purchase a young girl [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] and sailed to [[Lisbon]]. One night, he caught sight of Tsuyu out of her room and ordered his men to capture her. However, while she ran from her overseers, [[Master Assassin]] [[Alvaro Catarribera]] saved her by killing the overseers.<ref name="Ch16">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 16|Chapter 16]]</ref>

Balthazar then shot at the [[Assassins|Assassin]], who dodged it with his gauntlet. The captain soon fled towards the wheel while reloading his [[pistol]]. Holding Catarribera at gunpoint, Balthazar nearly shot the Assassin until Tsuyu attacked by placing a bucket over his head. Unable to see, he began to lose his balance and fell overboard,<ref name="Ch17">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 17|Chapter 17]]</ref> yet he survived this encounter.<ref name="Ch20">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 20|Chapter 20]]</ref>

In 1562, Balthazar had continued his slavery practice and held a station at a port in [[Ise]].<ref name="Ch20"/> However, he soon learned about the Assassins' presence in the region and had set a trap for them.<ref name="Ch19">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 19|Chapter 19]]</ref> While meeting with his two workers, he recounted the time that he was beaten by the [[Spain|Spanish]] Assassin and the young girl. While they explained the number of slaves, another of his guards found and [[poison]]ed Tsuyu, who was spying on them.<ref name="Ch20"/>

While the young Assassin was paralyzed, Balthazar soon [[Interrogation|interrogated]] her about her movements in [[Iga]] and the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]]. When she refused, he ordered the guard to cut her fingers from her dominant hand. However, [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]] ambushed and killed the guard instantly, surprising both Tsuyu and the Templar.<ref name="Ch20"/> Confronted, Balthazar sent his men to kill Masayasu, but all of his men fell to the ''shinobi''{{'}}s blade. Attacking him, he managed to apparently wound him and nearly killed him. Before he could, he was struck with a [[shuriken]] to the throat by Masayasu, falling to his knees. Bleeding out, he was quickly killed by Masayasu. Afterwards, Masayasu saved Tsuyu and released all of Balthazar's captives before he and Tsuyu left for the merchant district.<ref name="Ch21">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 21|Chapter 21]]</ref>

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 17''' is the seventeenth chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 4 December 2025.

==Summary==
;[[Izumi Settsu]], 1549
[[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] watches the [[Alvaro Catarribera|man]] standing over the dead sailors and asks who he is. The man states that they will talk later but not before the [[Templars|Templar]] shoots at him. Blocking it with his gauntlet, the man chases after the [[Balthazar|Templar]] but not before the Templar reloads his [[pistol]]. Aiming at the man, the Templar almost fires his gun but Tsuyu manages to blind him by placing a bucket over his head. Blinded, the Templar lost his footing and fell backward and overboard. Surprised, the man is caught off-guard over Tsuyu's actions. Tsuyu then asks the man if he can train him. The man states that she is too young and will help find passage at a nearby town.

Tsuyu begins to cry and states that if he will not train her, she will jump overboard and stop living. Seeing the bucket in the ocean, Tsuyu states that she is weak and that she cannot survive as she is now. While she pleads, Alvaro recalls a past mission, where it ended with him having killed an innocent girl. With this in mind, Alvaro agrees to take her under his tutelage but directs her to show her determination and sheer will. Within years, Tsuyu learns and masters both the principles and skills of the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]] but also realizes that she is able to defend herself.

;Izumi Settsu, 1560s
At an older age, Tsuyu earns her own [[Hidden Blade]] from her mentor Alvaro as a reward for what she has mastered. One day, she asks for a leave of few days as she had something to do first. Traveling to a temple, she finds her sister [[Tomi]] cleaning up the grounds but Tomi sees her sister and starts to cry. Tomi starts to apologize about how their [[Tsuyu's father|father]] made a mistake, but Tsuyu hands her a bag of [[mon]]. She explains that the bag will help her achieve her own freedom and leaves her while Tomi thanks her as she cries happily.

;[[Iga]], 1562
Tsuyu remarks how that was the last time she has seen any of her family before noticing [[Chiyo]] had gone to sleep during her story. Below them, [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]] sat at the ladder, taking in her life story. Realizing how he had yelled at her earlier, Masayasu starts to regret his statements and attitude earlier. While thinking, he is suddenly interrupted by a fellow ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' [[Hachi-rou|Go-rouku]]. Masayasu believes that it was a change in duty but Go-rouku explains that his turn is tomorrow. He continues to state that he and Tsuyu are needed in a meeting to talk about [[Hattori Hanzō]]'s message about his mission in [[Mikawa]].

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 16''' is the sixteenth chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 30 October 2025.

==Summary==
;[[Izumi Settsu]], 1542
[[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] watches and hears her [[Tsuyu's father|father]] offer her as the full payment for the family's debt. Seeing her behind him, her father explains that without this payment, her mother will be unable to make milk for her younger brother and thus her brother will die. [[Tomi]] runs outside and pleads that Tsuyu has been working her hardest, taking care of the family, and even helping the parents with preparing food. With the head priest looking at the girls, he asks their father how old they were. Learning Tsuyu and Tomi are eleven and nine years old, respectively, he offers that both girls will yearn a full payment with interest. Instantly, the father agrees and tells them to take them both. Agreeing, the head priest has his younger subordinate take Tomi immediately.

Enraged, Tsuyu grabs a broom and whacks the other priest across the face, loosing his grip on Tomi. She yells at her father for selling his daughters as a response to pay back his debts. With this, her father recalls his decision to sell Tomi and apologizes for the confusion, much to Tsuyu's joy. However, he still gives Tsuyu as payment. Calling Tsuyu problematic and having no respect, her father even asks the priest to discipline her. While Tsuyu states that she has always helped her family, her father calls her disobedient and admits that he wished that she had never been born. While the priests begin to take Tsuyu away, he comments that he will back for Tomi next time.

;Izumi Settsu, 1549
After some years, Tsuyu is brought to [[Sakai]] and brought onto a ship, sailing to [[Lisbon]]. Now believing that the monks were imposters, Tsuyu sits aboard the ship while hearing two [[Portugal|strange]] men speak in a different language. The two men discuss that when they arrive in Lisbon, the girls and women will sell at a high price. Soon, another girl approaches Tsuyu and asks her where she is from. When Tsuyu tells her that she is from Izumi Settsu, the girl slams her hand on the floor and tells her to listen to the men's directions, whether to clean or make food, and that they will correct her if she does not, showing her bruises. After the girl is called into their rooms, Tsuyu follows their orders and suffers some bruises when she made a mistake.

One night, Tsuyu makes her way towards the deck of the ship while her two supervisors sleep. Feeling the air, Tsuyu plans to escape the moment she sees land, even willing to swim across the sea. While thinking, Tsuyu is spotted by her supervisors and a [[Balthazar|man]] wearing a [[Templar insignia|cross necklace]]. The man then asks why his merchandise is up here while the supervisors begin to chase Tsuyu. Trying to flee with her life, Tsuyu then watches as [[Alvaro Catarribera|another man]] appears and kills the supervisors. She then believes that while the [[Earth|world]] may be controlled by bad men, there are others willing to fight against them.

The '''Siege on Kaminogō Castle''' took place at [[Kaminogō Castle]], [[Japan]] in 1562 during the late [[Sengoku period]]. It was fought between the {{Wiki|Matsudaira clan}} led by ''[[daimyō]]'' [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Motoyasu]] and the [[Imagawa clan]]. The former was aided by both [[Hattori Yasunaga]], who led his faction, while his son and ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' [[Hattori Hanzō]] was secretly tasked with the rescue of Motoyasu's family. The latter was reinforced by the {{Wiki|ja:鵜殿氏|Udono clan}}, led by its member and Imagawa retainer [[Udono Nagateru]].

The battle ended with the Matsudaira clan being victorious, taking control of the castle and expanding their influence over Mikawa. Hanzō also successfully rescued Motoyasu's family from the grasp of Nagateru and the [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] and [[Templars|Templar]] [[Paulino Massa]], who worked covertly aiding the Imagawa clan's attempted resurgence.

==Prelude==
In 1561, [[Imagawa Ujizane]] joined the [[Templars|Templar Order]] after being recruited by [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] [[Paulino Massa]], who aided in his attempt to resurge his clan's standing. As a result, they detained [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Motoyasu]]'s wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and his children, [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]].<ref name="CH12"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref> With his family captive, Motoyasu tasked his retainer [[Watanabe Moritsuna]] to find another man to embark on a secret mission.<ref name="CH10"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 10|Chapter 10]]</ref> Fortunately, Moritsuna found fellow retainer [[Hattori Hanzō]], who just returned back to his home region [[Mikawa]].<ref name="CH9"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref>

In 1562, Hanzō and Moritsuna enacted their mission, where Hanzō solely investigated the [[Imagawa Mansion]], and looked for Sena and the children.<ref name="CH13"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 13|Chapter 13]]</ref> While investigating the mansion,<ref name="CH21"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 21|Chapter 21]]</ref> he found help from a wayward [[soldier]] [[Amano Kageyasu]]. While led around the grounds, Hanzō soon came across a dead body that he believed was Sena.<ref name="CH22"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 22|Chapter 22]]</ref> Being noticed, Hanzō and Kageyasu escaped Ujizane's men and met with Moritsuna about their next steps. Surprisingly, they soon saw Imagawa retainer [[Udono Nagateru]] riding to [[Kaminogō Castle]] with Sena captive. With this revelation, Hanzō told Moritsuna and Kageyasu to go to Motoyasu while he left to rescue Sena and her children alone.<ref name="CH23"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref>

==The siege==
With his family gone for nearly a year, Motoyasu assembled his army and planned to attack the Imagawa clan at Kaminogō Castle. However, he still hoped for his family's safe return.<ref name="CH22"/> He later attacked the castle and fought against the {{Wiki|ja:鵜殿氏|Udono clan}}. While fighting, he had his men lay fire onto the castle. Meanwhile, within the ''tenshu'', Udono had Sena and the kids guarded until Hanzō arrived and nearly killed him. However, Paulino Massa saved Nagateru while he introduced himself. When Nagateru insulted him for his presence, Massa responded by outright killing him before setting his gun towards Sena. He later offered a choice to Hanzō: the lives of Motoyasu's family for the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]].<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

Before Hanzō can respond, Sena took out a ''[[tantō]]'' and warned Massa that she will kill herself unless he spares the lives of her children. In agreement, Massa offered a new deal: save the kids or save them all for the location of the Imperial Regalia. With the siege raging on, Hanzō escaped with the children while Massa left the castle with Sena. Hanzō managed to secure the kids' safety before turning back to save Sena. At a watchtower, Massa and Sena watched as the battle was ending before he revealed to use her to sway Takechiyo to his side. Yet, Hanzō arrived<ref name="CH25"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref> and checked in on Sena. Before Massa could react, Hanzō striked him down and then rushed Sena back to Takechiyo.<ref name="CH26"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

==Aftermath==
Hanzō successfully reunited Takechiyo back with his family while his forces proved victorious against the Imagawa clan and took control of the castle. The next day, Takechiyo spoke with Moritsuna and Hanzō, whom he congratulated and thanked for his family's return. Offering Hanzō a place besides him, the ''shinobi'' was grateful for the offer but told him that he must return to [[Iga]] for his other responsibilites.<ref name="CH26"/>

Batfan13:

{{Era|Locations}}{{WP-REAL}}
'''Nagasaki''' is a city and the capital of {{Wiki|Nagasaki Prefecture}} on the [[Japan|Japanese]] island of [[Kyushu]]. During the reign of [[Mutsuhito|Emperor Meiji]], the city was one of the only few ports on the island where [[Europe|European]] [[ship]]s could dock for trade after Japan had secluded itself for over two centuries.

==History==
In 1549, Nagasaki served as the entry point into Japan for the [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] delegation led by the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Francis Xavier]]. The excommunicated [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins|Spanish Assassin]] [[Alvaro Catarribera]] was also part of the delegation, which he had infiltrated after learning about the Templars' plans to use the Jesuit mission as a guise to spread their influence to Japan.<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Rift 2 - The Heart of an Assassin]]</ref>

In 1562, Catarribera arrived back in the city and sought out any Templar in the vicinity. He later tracked down a [[Japanese Rite of the Templar Order|Templar]] and fatally wounded him. However, in his last words, the Templar taunted Catarribera about how the Order have already expanded their influence across the land and that his efforts were futile before dying.<ref name="CH13"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 13|Chapter 13]]</ref>

By 1570, [[Portugal|Portuguese]] ships arrived at the port of Nagasaki, following the port cities of {{Wiki|Hirado, Nagasaki|Hirado}} and {{Wiki|Yokoseura|Yokose-ura}} in the years prior.<ref name="DB1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: The Portuguese]]</ref>

On 9 June 1580,<ref name="WikiD">{{WP|Donation of Bartolomeu}}</ref> [[Ōmura Sumitada]], one of the first ''[[daimyō]]'' who converted to [[Christianity]] by [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] [[Gaspar Vilela]], gifted the port city to the Jesuits and allowed them to tear down [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] [[temple]]s, further creating more division between the Japanese and the Christians.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]] – Shadows'' – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>

In 1867, two [[United Kingdom|British]] sailors were murdered in the city, resulting in increased diplomatic tensions between the United Kingdom and the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. This incident came to be known as the [[Icarus affair]] and was one of the factors leading into the [[Boshin War|civil war]] fought between Mutsuhito's loyalists and the shogunate.<ref name="ACF2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Blade of Aizu]]'' – Chapter 2</ref>

On 9 August 1945, at 11:30 am, the [[United States]] dropped the atomic bomb "{{Wiki|Fat Man}}" near the center of Nagasaki. causing approximately 70,000 deaths from the detonation alone.<ref name="Second Atomic Bomb">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' – [[Database: Second Atomic Bomb]]</ref><ref name="Manhattan Project">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' – [[Database: Manhattan Project]]</ref>

Daisen-ryō Kofun

[[File:ACSH Old Kofun 1.png|thumb|250px|The Old Kofun]]
The '''Daisen-ryō Kofun''', also known as the '''Old Kofun''', was a ''[[kofun]]'' east of [[Sakai]] in [[Izumi Settsu]], [[Japan]]. In the late 16th century, the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] built a safehouse within the tomb for the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]], entrusted to them by [[Tomohito|Emperor Go-Nara]].

==History==
By 1560, the Kakushiba ''ikki'' led by [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] and her mentor [[Alvaro Catarribera]] had built a secret base within the ''kofun'' to house the Imperial Regalia.<ref name="CH8"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 8|Chapter 8]]</ref> After an attack on [[Iga]] occurred,<ref name="CH6"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 6|Chapter 6]]</ref><ref name="CH7"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 7|Chapter 7]]</ref> Tsuyu and Catarribera learned the [[Templars]] were becoming impatient and thus they planned to investigate bases in [[Nagasaki]] and [[Mikawa]]. Soon, they were discovered by [[Momochi Sandayu]]'s student and ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' [[Hattori Hanzō]], who offered his help to investigate Mikawa, his home region. Seeing an opportunity, Catarribera offered Hanzō to join their ''ikki'', to which he agreed. Given a [[hidden blade]], Hanzō accepted the task to find and to gather information on the Templars before he left for his home.<ref name="CH8"/>

However, after some time, Hanzō unknowingly revealed the location to a buyer, who belonged to the [[Shinbakufu]], a group led by deposed ''[[Ashikaga shogunate|shogun]]'' [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]]. As a result, the Shinbakufu attacked the ''kofun'', leading to the near decimation of the league and two of the Imperial Regalia being taken. With Tsuyu, Hanzō, and [[Momochi Sandayu]] as the only survivors, Tsuyu entrusted the {{Wiki|Magatama|last regalia}} to her husband [[Fujibayashi Nagato]] while she left to find the other.<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Meaning of the Blade]]</ref>

In 1582, [[Fujibayashi Naoe]], Tsuyu and Nagato's daughter, traveled to the ''kofun''<ref name="Secrets of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Secrets of the Blade]]</ref> after Hattori Hanzō advised her to investigate it and see where her [[Assassins|path]] would lead.<ref name="Wolves and Foxes">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Wolves and Foxes]]</ref> Venturing through the tomb, she found the remains of the deceased Kakushiba ''ikki'' members and a locked entrance. Unlocking it with her [[Hidden Blade]], she discovered an old safehouse where she noticed three pedestals meant for the Imperial Regalia's boxes. Searching the tomb further, Naoe also found an [[Apprentice Assassin Hood|Assassin's]] [[Apprentice Assassin Gear|outfit]] and an old journal belonging to Catarribera.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/>

While there, Naoe also acquired the ''Amaterasu's Blessing'' [[Talisman|trinket]] after finding and looting the tomb's chest.<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''</ref> Exiting the ''kofun'', she met with her ally [[Yasuke]] and showed him the journal, which she was unable to read due to it being written in {{Wiki|Latin}}. Yasuke was able to provide a partial translation, revealing that Catarribera had tasked Tsuyu to safeguard the Imperial Regalia and that the Kakushiba ''ikki'' had established additional outposts in [[Ōmi]], [[Yamato]], and [[Kii]]. Naoe resolved to investigate these hideouts and left.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/>

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 8''' is the eighth chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 19 June 2025.

==Summary==
;[[Iga]], 1560
At the hut, [[Hattori Hanzō]] defeats his ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' assailant with ease, throwing him outside. Calling the [[Toza|man]] a coward and offering no mercy, Hanzō kills him without hesitation. [[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]] arrives moments later and finds Hanzō, who tells him that his opponent posed no challenge. Feeling inadequate from his own fight, Masayasu is asked about [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] and reveals that she has left Iga, surprising Hanzō. He explains that she and her mentor [[Alvaro Catarribera]] will be traveling to [[Mikawa]] to determine the [[Templars]]' base of operations. Tsuyu had told him and [[Momochi Sandayu]] that Masayasu was to stay in Iga to continue his training, as he was not yet ready to undertake such a mission.

When Masayasu disheartenedly states that he will never be as strong as Hanzō and Tsuyu, Hanzō stops him and tells him bluntly that, in a matter of months, he has already made much progress and proven himself very capable. Before taking his leave, Hanzō tells Masayasu to continue on his present course and not to lose sight of his objectives.

;[[Izumi Settsu]]
Some days later, Tsuyu meets Alvaro at the [[Daisen-ryō Kofun|''kofun'']] of [[Sakai]] as she explains that her delayed arrival was due to Iga being attacked by [[Mercenary|mercenaries]] sent by the Templars. Discussing the Templars, Alvaro explains that they know of their enemies having bases of operation in both Mikawa and [[Nagasaki]]. While Mikawa appears to be at peace, [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]] was recently [[Battle of Okehazama|defeated]] by [[Oda Nobunaga]], and Alvaro suspects that the Templars will use this opportunity to try and gain the favor of Yoshimoto's [[Imagawa Ujizane|son]]. Thus, he instructs Tsuyu to investigate the matter while he heads to Nagasaki.

Out of nowhere, Hanzō appears and offers to join the Assassins on their mission. Alvaro states that Hanzō was not invited, only for the latter to counter that Mikawa is his home province and he knows the place better than either of them. Alvaro asks Tsuyu about Hanzō, to which she states that Hanzō is an ally but not her friend. To test his constitution, Alvaro attacks Hanzō, who skillfully blocks his attack and correctly deduces that the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]] is not in Iga at all but at this ''[[kofun]]''.

Impressed, Alvaro offers Hanzō two choices: join their [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Brotherhood]] or die at this very moment. Hanzō asks if they are the only two members of their Brotherhood, to which Alvaro explains that he was excommunicated from his [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins|Brotherhood]] and traveled to [[Japan]] after learning of the Templars' movements. Asked again about his choice, Hanzō agrees to [[Initiation into the Assassin Order|join]] the Assassins. Alvaro then hands Hanzō a [[Hidden Blade]] as he explains the weapon's unique capabilities.

Decided, Hanzō is ordered to go to Mikawa to investigate the Templars' operations while Tsuyu will head back to Iga. Understanding, Tsuyu grabs Hanzō's arm with the blade and tells him to remember the principles and techniques he learned. Blushing, Hanzō promises to return to Iga once his mission is complete. He also asks Tsuyu to inform Sandayu of the path he walks now, as he is certain his master will not be happy with his decision. Saying goodbye, Hanzō leaves for Mikawa.

At some point in the future, Hanzō returns and faces off against an opponent, who tells him to respond. Hanzō bluntly states that he plans to leave Iga for good.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Kofun''}}{{Era|Assassins}}{{WP-REAL}}
[[File:ACSH Old Kofun 1.png|thumb|250px|Daisen-ryō Kofun]]
'''''Kofuns''''' (古墳) are megalithic tombs or burial mounds mainly present in Northeast [[Asia]]. Many of these tombs were discovered during the early 3rd century of {{Wiki|Kofun period|ancient}} [[Japan]].

==History==
Enormous tombs of different shapes, these mounds persisted until the late 7th century to early 8th century. Throughout the following centuries, there were fascinations with key-shaped mounds as they were noted along the archipelago. By the 18th century, many of the tombs were believed to hold the tombs of ancient {{Wiki|Emperor of Japan|emperors}} or even their close relatives. Along with the sarcophagus, a variety of artifacts and weapons were frequently associated with these tombs, such as [[horse]] harnesses by the 5th century and ''{{Wiki|Haniwa|haniwa}}''-clay cylinders. In some tombs, murals of the [[Sun]] in the form of a spiral were draped, too.<ref name="DB1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Kofun]]</ref>

By the late 16th century, the Kakushiba ''ikki'' led by [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] had built a secret base within [[Daisen-ryō Kofun|Old Kofun]] in [[Izumi Settsu]] to house the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]], entrusted by [[Tomohito|Emperor Go-Nara]]. Yet, the Kakushiba ''ikki'' member and [[mercenary]] [[Hattori Hanzō]] unknowingly revealed the location to a buyer, who belonged to the [[Shinbakufu]], a group led by deposed ''[[Ashikaga shogunate|shogun]]'' [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]]. Thus, the Shinbakufu attacked the kofun, resulting in the near destruction of the league and two of the Imperial Regalia being stolen. With Tsuyu, Hanzō, and [[Momochi Sandayu]] as the only survivors, Tsuyu entrusted the last regalia to her husband [[Fujibayashi Nagato]] while she left to find the others.<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Meaning of the Blade]]</ref>

By 1581, Nagato had traveled to [[Mihata Kofun]] and stored the ''{{Wiki|Magatama|Yasakani no Magatama}}'' as part of his devotion and promise to his wife. However, when [[Oda Nobunaga]] led an [[Tenshō Iga War|invasion]] to [[Iga]] and Hanzō having told him of the Shinbakufu's plans,<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade"/> he sent his daughter and ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] with his [[Hidden Blade]] to the chamber. However, upon recovering the Jewel, she was attacked by Shinbakufu member and [[samurai]] [[Ido Yoshihiro]], who knocked her out with his ''[[kanabō]]'' and stole the Regalia.<ref name="Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Fight of the Kakushiba Ikki]]</ref>

In 1582, Naoe, having recently founded her own Kakushiba ''ikki'', came across and entered the Old Kofun, where she saw the aftermath of the Shinbakufu's attack. Within the tomb, she recovered both an [[Apprentice Assassin Hood|Assassin's]] [[Apprentice Assassin Gear|outfit]] and an old journal belonging to Tsuyu's mentor, [[Alvaro Catarribera]].<ref name="Secrets of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Secrets of the Blade]]</ref> She also acquired the ''Amaterasu's Blessing'' [[Talisman|trinket]] after finding and looting the tomb's chest.<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''</ref>

Outside, her ally and fellow Kakushiba ''ikki'' member [[Yasuke]] waited for her and helped her translate the journal, which detailed that Catarribera had tasked Tsuyu to safeguard the Imperial Regalia and how she established additional outposts in [[Ōmi]], [[Yamato]], and [[Kii]]. Naoe resolved to investigate these hideouts and left.<ref name="Secrets of the Blade"/> While traveling through Japan, Naoe and Yasuke found and entered multiple ''kofuns'', where they acquired numerous weapons and items from the tombs' [[treasure chest|chests]].<ref name="ACSH"/>

This page serves as a spiritual successor to the old project pages, where pages that would need to be created or updated were grouped by theme. Since we no longer have the number of active editors to justify projects, but we still have many pages to make this small hub was devised.

Any user may respond to these requests and create/update these desired pages, on the condition that they are properly sourced and meet the requirements laid out in our policies.

'''Hattori Yasunaga''' (服部保長) was a [[Japan]]ese [[samurai]] of the Hattori clan who served under the {{Wiki|Matsudaira clan}}, and the father of [[Hattori Hanzō]].

==Biography==
In 1561, Yasunaga received his son Hanzō back at [[Hattori Mansion|home]] in [[Mikawa]], where he asked about his progress and training under [[Momochi Sandayu]] as a ''[[ninja|shinobi]]''. However, he feigned interest and told Hanzō to return home, to relinquish this game of being a ''shinobi'', and to become a samurai for their clan. Hanzō admitted that he had found two friends in [[Iga]] and needed to continue his training, but Yasunaga responded by calling his son weak and dismissing him. This led Hanzō to remember a similar moment in his childhood, when Yasunaga had hit his mother for failing to live up to his expectations.<ref name="CH9"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref>

In 1562, Yasunaga answered and joined [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]]'s call to launch an [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|attack]] on [[Kaminogō Castle]] to rescue his wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and their children [[Kamehime]] and [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]]. Leading his men, Yasunaga ordered his [[archer]]s to set the castle aflame, unaware that his son Hanzō was inside, negotiating for the lives of Takechiyo's family.<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

*An [[Assassin hacker]] infiltrated and sabotaged Abstergo Industries' Nexus Eye project at the request of Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane. However, the hacker was later captured by agents sent by the project's head, [[Dominika Wilk]], who had discovered their affiliations.<ref name="Nexus VR"/>
*[[Noa Kim]] was abducted by Abstergo agents during a trip to Macau, China, and taken to the ''[[Exitus]]'' research vessel, where he was forced to relive the memories of his ancestor Edward Kenway during his time in [[Southeast Asia]].<ref name="ACFT"/>
[[File:ACFT - Noa making a deal with Shimazu Sei.png|thumb|240px|Shimazu Sei and Noa Kim reaching an agreement]]
*After Noa caused several synchronization errors, Doctor [[Shimazu Sei]] pulled him from the Animus, warned him against interfering with his ancestor's history, and told him that she sought information on a Piece of Eden that Edward had found during his travels. Noa, hoping to learn more about his family's history, agreed to help Sei and continued to explore Edward's memories.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa and Sei took an excursion to the [[A-Ma Cultural Village]] in Macau to retrieve a ledger that would allow them to continue tracking Edward's memories. During the trip, members of the [[Zhawang Corporation]] attempted to rescue Noa, but he refused their help and returned to Abstergo.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*The ''Exitus'' relocated to Cebu, where Noa and Sei searched for clues to help them trace Edward's footsteps in the Philippines. During their investigation, the Assassin [[Nathan Zhang]] and his criminal organization [[Doom Eagle]] attacked them, seeking to rescue Noa. Noa fought Nathan, who informed him of his [[Noa Kim's father|father]]'s Assassin affiliations and gave him Captain Mustafa's sea log to help him track Edward's memories before leaving.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa and Sei discovered the location of the [[crescent amulet]] from Edward Kenway's memories, but Sei's superiors ordered Noa's termination, believing he had outlived his usefulness. Sei struck a deal with Nathan Zhang to ensure Noa's safety, and helped Noa return to his senses when he went on rampage aboard the ''Exitus'' under the Bleeding Effect's influence.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa and Sei's bodyguard [[Yuki]] recovered the crescent amulet from the shipwreck of the [[Ourang Medan|SS ''Ourang Medan'']], and escaped alongside Sei when Nathan and his men attacked their ship. Nathan brought Noa, Sei, and Yuki to a Zhawang Corporation safehouse in [[Singapore]], where Sei used a prototype [[Animus|Animus HR-8]] to relive her ancestor Shimazu Saito's memories and track down another Piece of Eden that could cure Noa of the amulet's effects.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa took Sei's place in the Animus when she began to suffer from the Bleeding Effect, and his genetic memories ultimately revealed the location of a [[Lantern (Piece of Eden)|Piece of Eden]] in the [[Shwedagon Pagoda]] in Myanmar. Avoiding Abstergo's Sigma Team, Sei, Noa, Yuki, and Nathan left Singapore and traveled to Myanmar to recover the Piece of Eden.<ref name="ACFT"/>
[[File:ACFT - Noa meeting Edward.png|thumb|200px|Noa Kim talking to Edward Kenway through the Synch Nexus]]
*Noa and Sei found the Piece of Eden in the Shwedagon Pagoda, which created a [[Synch Nexus]] between Noa and Edward Kenway, allowing them to speak across time. Noa, Sei, Yuki, and Nathan then escaped with the artifact, just as Sigma Team attacked the Shwedagon Pagoda in an attempt to capture them.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa, Sei, Yuki, and Nathan infiltrated [[Yangon]]'s harbor in search of a {{Wiki|seaplane}} to flee Myanmar. Yuki sacrificed herself to delay Sigma Team, and Sei was captured after using the crescent amulet to subdue the Abstergo agents and buy Noa and Nathan enough time to escape with the second Piece of Eden.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*The Templars placed Sei in the Animus to track down the third Piece of Eden, leading them to Shimazu Saito's grave. Abstergo subsequently recovered the [[Lotus disk|artifact]].<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Sigma Team tracked Noa and Nathan to an [[uncharted island]] where they had taken refuge and attacked their hideout, but faced unexpected resistance from a [[Southeast Asian Assassin cell|team]] of Assassins sent by Nathan's sister [[Claire Zhang]], the Zhawang Corporation's director. With the help of the hacker group [[DedSec]], Noa, Nathan, and the Assassins escaped the island and lost the pursuing Abstergo forces.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*The Assassins, DedSec, and the Zhawang Corporation held a meeting at the latter's headquarters in [[Jakarta]], where they formed an alliance to stop Abstergo's plans. After they decided to eliminate Sei to prevent the Templars from extracting any more information from her, Noa volunteered to carry out the mission.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa infiltrated the [[Abstergo Genetic Research Lab]] in Osaka, Japan, and freed Sei from the Animus. After convincing the Assassins to help him save Sei instead of killing her, they all escaped the facility, and Noa used his Piece of Eden to cure Sei's Bleeding Effect.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa used the Zhawang Corporation's [[Brahman 3.0]] to relive the remainder of Edward Kenway's memories and track down the [[Forgotten Temple (Isu)|Forgotten Temple]]. Abstergo found the temple first, but their attempts to breach it activated an advanced security protocol and created a temporal anomaly. As the past and present timelines began to merge, putting the entire world at risk, Noa, Sei, and Nathan traveled to the temple to shut it down.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa, Sei, and Nathan were turned into their respective ancestors—Edward Kenway, Shimazu Saito, and John Young—as they approached the Forgotten Temple. Overtaken by John's personality, Nathan stole the Piece of Eden from Noa and escaped after Noa and Sei were confronted by an apparition of Xiao Han projected by the crescent amulet.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Sigma Team used the third Piece of Eden to bypass the Forgotten Temple's dimensional field without being affected by the time anomaly, and tried to return the artifact to the temple's core to seize control of it. However, one member of the team was turned into Xiao Han by the crescent amulet, while the temple projected apparitions of all the individuals who had attempted to breach it in 1725, resulting in a similar version of events playing out.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Noa's Assassin allies, who accompanied him to the Forgotten Temple and were turned into their Japanese mercenary ancestors, handed him a device that allowed DedSec to remotely control some of the temple's systems. With it, Noa and Sei were able to enter the temple and begin making their way towards the core.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*The Assassins infiltrated Abstergo Industries' base near the Forgotten Temple and eliminated all of its occupants, including Sigma Team's field commander.<ref name="ACFT"/>
*Sigma Team reached the core of the Forgotten Temple after all of its control units were activated, but their attempt to gain control of the complex failed and resulted in its systems going haywire. The temple subsequently subjected Noa and Sei to simulations based on their pasts, which they were able to overcome by facing their fears.<ref name="ACFT"/>

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 21''' is the twenty-first chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 26 March 2026.

==Summary==
;[[Ise]], 1562
[[Fujibayashi Nagato|Fujibayashi Masayasu]] stands in front of [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]] to protect her from the [[Portuguese Rite of the Templar Order|Portuguese Templar]] [[Balthazar]] and his men. While standing, he begins to recall a conversation with his father, who spoke that he must be patient and control his emotions while acting in the defense of others. If not, his actions will have no honor. Recognizing Masayasu as a ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' from [[Iga]], Balthazar gives the order for his men to kill Masayasu. When two [[soldier]]s attack Masayasu, the ''shinobi'' dodges their stabs and inadvertingly wounded each other. Masayasu soon dispatches the other man and insults Balthazar's attacks.

Dodging a [[dart]], Masayasu uses his [[Eagle vision|vision]] and spots the man behind a hedge. Instantly, he kills the man but not before dodging a shot from Balthazar's [[pistol]]. Masayasu soon attacks and fights Balthazar in sword combat. Masayasu remarks that they will fight against the Templars but places more on guarding Tsuyu as the utmost importance. While fighting, Balthazar seemingly manages to wound Masayasu, who falls to the ground. Out of breath, Balthazar uses this time to ready his [[sword]] and to plunge into Masayasu. In his last effort, Masayasu uses [[Hattori Hanzō]]'s advice and throws a [[shuriken]] into the [[Templars|Templar]]'s neck. Bleeding from the neck, Balthazar falls to the ground while Masayasu delivers the final blow, ending Balthazar's enterprise and life.

With no enemies in sight, Masayasu goes and frees the [[Slavery|slaves]] on the ship. While the former captives thank him, Masayasu finds a boat and carries Tsuyu on his back onto the boat. Rowing away to the merchant district, Tsuyu remarks that she intends to continue their ruse as a wedded artist couple and lays her head on him. Shocked, Masayasu asks her to repeat what she said but she taunts him.

;[[Mikawa]], 1562
At [[Imagawa Mansion]], Hanzō sneaks into the mansion to find and to rescue [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|her]] [[Kamehime|kids]] for [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]].

This page serves as a spiritual successor to the old project pages, where pages that would need to be created or updated were grouped by theme. Since we no longer have the number of active editors to justify projects, but we still have many pages to make this small hub was devised.

Any user may respond to these requests and create/update these desired pages, on the condition that they are properly sourced and meet the requirements laid out in our policies. One also does not need to create all the pages of a group, but can always pick those they prefer to make. They are grouped only because of an overlap in themes.

Likewise, any user may add more mini-projects or links to this page.

'''Amano Kageyasu''' was a [[Japan]]ese [[soldier]] of the [[Imagawa clan]] and later the {{Wiki|Matsudaira clan}} who lived in [[Mikawa]], [[Japan]] during the late [[Sengoku period]].

==Biography==
In 1562, Amano Kageyasu worked as a foot [[soldier]] of the [[Imagawa clan]] under its ''[[daimyō]]'' [[Imagawa Ujizane]]. However, he soon became disillusioned and reluctant to work for this clan. One night, he slept in his quarters but soon woke up and noticed the arrival of a ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]''. Meeting each other, Kageyasu was nearly killed until he asked if he was here against the Imagawa's. When the ''shinobi'' [[Hattori Hanzō]] revealed his task of finding [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|her]] [[Kamehime|children]], Kageyasu offered to help, revealing his doubts of the clan's future. Escorting him across the grounds of [[Imagawa Mansion]], he recounted the past of how Ujizane and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]] were once close as brothers. However, he soon showed Hanzō the recent room where Sena was.<ref name="CH22"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 22|Chapter 22]]</ref>

Yet, Hanzō became overwhelmed after finding a dead woman and being found by Ujizane. Fortunately, Kageyasu knocked out the ''daimyō'', saving Hanzō. Upon looking the dead woman, he reassured Hanzō that it was not Sena before they left to find her. However, the bell was rung and they fled quicker to escape any reinforcements. They later met up with [[Watanabe Moritsuna]], who asked about Sena and the kids' location. When Hanzō admitted his failure, all three soon noticed [[Udono Nagateru]] riding past them whilst carrying Sena. Kageyasu informed him that Nagateru rode towards [[Kaminogō Castle]]. While Moritsuna stated they all should go, Hanzō told him and Kageyasu to head back to Takechiyo while he went to save Sena and the kids alone.<ref name="CH23"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref>

Fortunately, Kageyasu saw Hanzō return with Sena and her kids, reuniting them with Takechiyo, and saw the Imagawa clan's loss to Takechiyo's [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]] of the castle. He later joined the {{Wiki|Matsudaira clan}} as a result.<ref name="CH26"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

The '''Imagawa clan''' (今川氏, ''Imagawa-uji'') was a [[Japan]]ese [[samurai]] family that held power during the [[Sengoku period]].

==History==
===Decline in power and alliance with the Templars===
In 1560, [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]] planned to march and to overtake [[Kyoto]] with a legion of 25,000 troops, yet this required a travel through [[Owari]], where his rival [[Oda Nobunaga]] held power. While invading Owari, his troops initially proved successful as they all took [[fort]]s from the Oda clan. With a few thousands troops left, Yoshimoto and his men rested and celebrated at Dengakuhazama. However, that night, it began to rain which provided Nobunaga the opportunity to launch a direct assault. Realizing too late, Yoshimoto was captured and subsequently executed, while his remaining [[soldier]]s fled.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]] – Shadows'' – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>

With his father's death, [[Imagawa Ujizane]] took the reins of leading his clan, despite its fall from power. Within the same year, he was then visited by [[Italy|Italian]] [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[Paulino Massa]], who soon became a regular visitor. Within their conversations, Massa revealed his true nature as a [[Templars|Templar]] and recruited Ujizane into the Order. Together, they planned to attain the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]] and use its significance to have the Imagawa clan rise into power again. They later commissioned a team of ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' led by [[Toza]] and ''[[rōnin]]'' [[Kuroiwa Gonjou-rou]] to infiltrate [[Iga]] and investigate [[Momochi Sandayu]]'s rumored affliation with the [[Assassins]].<ref name="Ch 9">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref> However, all but Gonjou-rou died on the mission<ref name="Ch 7">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 7|Chapter 7]]</ref><ref name="Ch 8">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 8|Chapter 8]]</ref> but he gave information of the Assassins' presence and the Imperial Regalia's location having to be nearby.<ref name="Ch 9"/>

In 1561, Imagawa Ujizane and Massa abducted [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Motoyasu]]'s wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and her children [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]] to hold power over Motoyasu.<ref name="Ch 12">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref> Ujizane held them in his family [[Imagawa Mansion|mansion]] while he and Massa planned for Motoyasu to send one of his retainers on a rescue mission.<ref name="Ch 24">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref> With the help of his retainer [[Udono Nagateru]], he held Motoyasu's family for nearly a year and waited for their rescuers.<ref name="Ch 23">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref>

However, one night, Ujizane ordered Nagateru to take Sena and her kids to [[Kaminogō Castle]]. When the ''shinobi'' and Motoyasu's retainer [[Hattori Hanzō]] came and saw a dead woman in Sena's cell, Ujizane came and taunted on whether he would succeed in finding Motoyasu's family. Before it could go further, Ujizane was knocked out by his soldier [[Amano Kageyasu]], who aided Hanzō to escape, much to Ujizane's ire. Meanwhile, Nagateru rode Sena to the castle while Hanzō followed them alone.<ref name="Ch 23"/>

Inside the castle, Hanzō caught up with Nagateru and nearly killed him, only for Massa to save him. Yet, Massa subsequently killed Nagateru, who had made an insulting remark of the Templar's presence, and held Sena and her kids at gunpoint. He later gave Hanzō a choice for Motoyasu's family or the location of the Imperial Regalia while the castle was under [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]] by Motoyasu, who sought his family's return.<ref name="Ch 24"/> Ultimately, the Matsudaira clan proved victorious and took claim of the castle from the Imagawa clan and Motoyasu's family was safely returned to him.<ref name="Ch 26">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

===Aiding the Kumari clan===
By 1582, Imagawa clan member and [[samurai]] [[Imagawa Tomeji]] was the right-hand man under ''[[daimyō]]'' and [[Japanese Rite of the Templar Order|Japanese Templar]] [[Kimura Kei]].<ref name="DB1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[Database: Imagawa Tomeji]]</ref> Becoming a true believer in the Templar Order like his lord, he pledged his loyalty to Kei.<ref name="Sour Defeat">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[A Sour Defeat]]</ref> Yet, he followed Kei's order to safeguard Kei's daughter and fellow Templar [[Kimura Yukari]], who did not fully believe in the Order like he did.<ref name="DB1"/> Within the same year, Tomeji and Yukari learned of her father's demise at the hands of Nobunaga's former retainer and [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] member [[Yasuke]].<ref name="Fighting for the Cause">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Fighting for the Cause]]</ref><ref name="Prison Break">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[Prison Break]]</ref> As a result, Tomeji's pledge to Kei transferred to Yukari, much to his dislike.<ref name="DB1"/><ref name="Prison Break"/>

====Controlling Awaji====
By 1585, Tomeji had followed Yukari to [[Awaji]], where she became the [[concubine]] of the island's ''daimyō''. When the ''daimyō'' and her men left, she became the ''de facto'' ruler.<ref name="The Puppet Show">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[The Puppet Show]]</ref> While there, Tomeji, along with spymaster [[Yasuhira]] and feral ''shinobi'' [[Nowaki]], became Yukari's ''[[wikt:大将|taishō]]'' (大将, lit. "general") of her collective, the ''[[Sanzoku Ippa]]''. Being her personal enforcer, he led a group of his own captains to enforce Yukari's control across the whole island.<ref name="Sour Defeat"/> During their tenure, they soon came across the [[Master Assassin]] [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu]] and captured her, learning that she knew the location of the sword ''{{Wiki|Kusanagi no Tsurugi}}'', one of the Imperial Regalia.<ref name="Prison Break"/> Despite their harsh torture and [[interrogation]] methods, Tsuyu never divulged the sword's location.<ref name="The Reunion">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[The Reunion]]</ref>

Thus, Yukari set up a plan by launching puppet shows to the mainland to lure Tsuyu's daughter [[Fujibayashi Naoe]], who established her own Kakushiba ''ikki'' league.<ref name="The Puppet Show"/> Yukari's plan worked as Naoe arrived in Awaji<ref name="A Shinobi on Awaji">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[A Shinobi on Awaji]]</ref> while they had Tsuyu caged within [[Sumoto Castle]], Tomeji's base of operations. Soon, Naoe came to rescue Tsuyu but was captured by Tomeji and Yukari. With this, Yukari gave an ultimatum to Tsuyu, the sword's location for her daughter's life.<ref name="The Reunion"/> But, their plans were thwarted when Yasuke came<ref name="Not Alone in this World">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[Not Alone in this World]]</ref> and freed them.<ref name="Prison Break"/>

While they all tried to escape, Yasuke soon came to face Tomeji alone. Tomeji then challenged Yasuke to a duel in honor of his oath to Kei. Yet, Yasuke fared better and bested Tomeji, who conceded but signaled his soldiers to surround him. Almost victorious, Tomeji failed due to Tsuyu providing an opening, ultimately leading the Assassins to flee from the castle.<ref name="Prison Break"/>

Despite this setback, Tomeji, along with his fellow Templars, joined Yukari as they tracked Naoe and Yasuke to [[Myōshō-ji]], where they later subdued Yasuke when he was alone. Waiting outside a temple, they all met with Naoe, holding the sword's box, while holding Yasuke hostage. In exchange for Yasuke's life, Naoe gave the Templars the box but Yukari reneged on the promise, ordering Tomeji to kill Yasuke. Yet, Hanzō and his allies, including [[Konatsu]], arrived and they loosed [[Arrow storm|multiple arrows]] against the Templars and their ''Sanzoku Ippa'' soldiers. While Naoe and her allies fought the soldiers, Nowaki quickly used a [[Smoke screen bomb|smoke bomb]] to cover the Templars' escape.<ref name="The Regalia">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[The Regalia]]</ref>

With the sword Regalia in Templars' hands, Tomeji continued the search for the Assassins, sending out his captains to search. However, Naoe and Yasuke assassinated the captains<ref name="Dismantling One by One">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[Dismantling One by One]]</ref> before confronting him at Sumoto Castle, with Konatsu's help. Tomeji soon commended them on their efforts but grudgingly agreed with Yukari's notion to stop their efforts. Engaging the pair to a duel, Tomeji was ultimately defeated and killed, ridding Yukari of her enforcer.<ref name="A Garrison to Dismantle">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[A Garrison to Dismantle]]</ref> Ultimately, the Assassins stopped and killed Yukari,<ref name="The Final Assault">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[The Final Assault]]</ref> recovered the sword and later returned all the Imperial Regalia to [[Michihito|Emperor Ōgimachi]].<ref name="Trouble with the Regalia">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Claws of Awaji]]'' – [[Trouble with the Regalia]]</ref>

'''Tokugawa Ieyasu''' (徳川家康; 1543 – 1616), born '''Matsudaira Takechiyo''' (松平元康),<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Tokugawa Ieyasu}}</ref> was a ''[[daimyō]]'' during the [[Sengoku period]] of [[Japan]], and the last of Japan's {{Wiki|ja:三英傑|three great unifiers}} (三英傑) who founded the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] and ruled as its first ''[[shōgun]]''.

Ieyasu actively opposed the [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]] [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] missionaries spreading [[Christianity]]—and veiled [[Templars|Templar]] influence—through the country. As such, he tasked his former squire [[Chaya Shirōjirō Kiyonobu]] with reporting any Templar activity in the land, and was the lord of the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Japanese Assassin]] [[Hattori Hanzō]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
The son of a minor ''[[daimyō]]'', Ieyasu spent his early life as a hostage of [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]], the ''daimyō'' of {{Wiki|Suruga Province}}.<ref name="Wiki" /> Following Yoshimoto's death during his failed [[Battle of Okehazama|invasion]] of the neighboring [[Owari|Owari Province]], Ieyasu took advantage of the [[Imagawa clan]]'s downfall to reclaim his ancestral seat in [[Mikawa|Mikawa Province]], formerly ruled by the Imagawa.<ref name="ON">''[[Echoes of History]] – Shadows'' – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref><ref name="DB1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Oda Nobunaga]]</ref>

However, in 1561, the ''daimyō'' had his wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|his]] [[Kamehime|children]] detained by Yoshimoto's son [[Imagawa Ujizane]].<ref name="CH12"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref> With this offense, he met with his retainers [[Watanabe Moritsuna]] and [[Hattori Hanzō]],<ref name="CH11"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 11|Chapter 11]]</ref> who came back home to investigate any [[Templars|Templar]] activity. Fortunately, he informed his retainers of learning about Ujizane's recent meetings with a [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] named [[Paulino Massa]], who wore an [[Templar insignia|Templar cross]] around his neck. With this, he tasked both men with the secret rescue of his family, which they agreed.<ref name="CH12"/>

Within a year, Ieyasu readied his men to [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|attack]] [[Kaminogō Castle]] in a matter to save his family as a last resort.<ref name="CH22"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 22|Chapter 22]]</ref> Commencing the siege,<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref> he led the charge, unaware of his family being held hostage by Massa, one of the [[Templars]] Hanzō sought.<ref name="CH25"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref> While he won the siege and captured the castle, he ultimately was relieved when Hanzō managed to rescue his family and eliminated Massa. Afterwards, he gave thanks to Hanzō and offered him a place besides Moritsuna but Hanzō needed to return back to [[Iga]] to finish his mission.<ref name="CH26"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

As the ''daimyō'' of Mikawa, Ieyasu later formed an alliance with [[Oda Nobunaga]], Owari's ''daimyō'' who had defeated Yoshimoto, and aided him in his military conquests,<ref name="ON"/><ref name="DB1"/> becoming one of his most trusted generals.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Lords of Azuchi]]</ref>

===Service under Oda Nobunaga===
In the autumn of 1581, Ieyasu was at the shooting range of [[Azuchi Castle]] to test the ''[[Arquebus|teppō]]'' firearms that they had acquired and modified from the [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]]. He was joined by Oda Nobunaga and the newly-appointed [[samurai]] [[Yasuke]], who participated in the testing of the guns as well. Just as Yasuke was half-way through the test, several ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' attacked the group with the intention of [[Assassination|assassinating]] Nobunaga.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />

Though the assassins were eliminated, the incident prompted Nobunaga to arrange for an emergency meeting, with Ieyasu being asked to gather the generals. At the meeting, Ieyasu defended his fellow general [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hashiba Hideyoshi]] when [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] questioned his absence, but the clash was swiftly defused upon the arrival of Nobunaga and Yasuke. As the meeting began, the generals were soon joined by Hideyoshi, who brought the head of [[Harima]]'s slain ''daimyō'' [[Bessho Nagaharu]], much to Nobunaga's delight.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />

With all generals present and the meeting underway, Ieyasu brought up the issue of the [[Iga ikki|Iga ''ikki'']], who had defeated and pushed back [[Oda Nobukatsu]]'s army two years earlier in 1579. Ieyasu also suggested that the assassins earlier were likely of [[Iga]]n origin and they were being led by [[Momochi Sandayu|someone]] who wielded a [[Hidden Blade|blade]] on his wrist. Ultimately, Nobunaga concluded that they would [[Tenshō Iga War|invade]] Iga and set out the next day.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />

===Forming the Tokugawa shogunate===
At the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] on 21 October 1600, Ieyasu defeated [[Ishida Mitsunari]] and united the land under the Tokugawa clan, who would reign until 1868.<ref name="ACM">''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]''</ref>

Tokugawa Ieyasu is a historical figure and character introduced to the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' franchise]] in the 2014 mobile game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]''. While not clearly identified as an Assassin, the game depicts Ieyasu giving orders and missions to Assassins like [[Yamauchi Taka]] and Hattori Hanzō, as well as wearing a helmet emblazoned with the [[Assassin insignia]], implying that Ieyasu was an Assassin himself.

This was later disproven by his appearance in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'', which features no hints of Ieyasu's possible Assassin affiliations outside his role as Hanzō's lord and opposition to the Templars. Ieyasu's original service to Oda Nobunaga, which put him into direct conflict with the Iga ''ikki''—led by the Assassin [[Momochi Sandayu]]—further disproves the possibility of Ieyasu being a member of the Brotherhood.

'''Tokugawa Ieyasu''' (徳川家康; 1543 – 1616), born '''Matsudaira Takechiyo''' (松平元康),<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Tokugawa Ieyasu}}</ref> was a ''[[daimyō]]'' during the [[Sengoku period]] of [[Japan]], and the last of Japan's {{Wiki|ja:三英傑|three great unifiers}} (三英傑) who founded the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] and ruled as its first ''[[shōgun]]''.

Ieyasu actively opposed the [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]] [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] missionaries spreading [[Christianity]]—and veiled [[Templars|Templar]] influence—through the country. As such, he tasked his former squire [[Chaya Shirōjirō Kiyonobu]] with reporting any Templar activity in the land, and was the lord of the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Japanese Assassin]] [[Hattori Hanzō]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
The son of a minor ''[[daimyō]]'', Ieyasu spent his early life as a hostage of [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]], the ''daimyō'' of {{Wiki|Suruga Province}}.<ref name="Wiki" /> Following Yoshimoto's death during his failed [[Battle of Okehazama|invasion]] of the neighboring [[Owari|Owari Province]], Ieyasu took advantage of the [[Imagawa clan]]'s downfall to reclaim his ancestral seat in [[Mikawa|Mikawa Province]], formerly ruled by the Imagawa.<ref name="ON">''[[Echoes of History]] – Shadows'' – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref><ref name="DB1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Oda Nobunaga]]</ref>

However, in 1561, the ''daimyō'' had his wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|his]] [[Kamehime|children]] detained by Yoshimoto's son [[Imagawa Ujizane]].<ref name="CH12"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref> With this offense, he met with his retainers [[Watanabe Moritsuna]] and [[Hattori Hanzō]],<ref name="CH11"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 11|Chapter 11]]</ref> who came back home to investigate any [[Templars|Templar]] activity. Fortunately, he informed his retainers of learning about Ujizane's recent meetings with a [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] named [[Paulino Massa]], who wore an [[Templar cross|Templar insignia]] around his neck. With this, he tasked both men with the secret rescue of his family, which they agreed.<ref name="CH12"/>

Within a year, Ieyasu readied his men to [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|attack]] [[Kaminogō Castle]] in a matter to save his family as a last resort.<ref name="CH22"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 22|Chapter 22]]</ref> Commencing the siege,<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref> he led the charge, unaware of his family being held hostage by Massa, one of the [[Templars]] Hanzō sought.<ref name="CH25"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref> While he won the siege and captured the castle, he ultimately was relieved when Hanzō managed to rescue his family and eliminated Massa. Afterwards, he gave thanks to Hanzō and offered him a place besides Moritsuna but Hanzō needed to return back to [[Iga]] to finish his mission.<ref name="CH26"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

As the ''daimyō'' of Mikawa, Ieyasu later formed an alliance with [[Oda Nobunaga]], Owari's ''daimyō'' who had defeated Yoshimoto, and aided him in his military conquests,<ref name="ON"/><ref name="DB1"/> becoming one of his most trusted generals.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Lords of Azuchi]]</ref>

===Service under Oda Nobunaga===
In the autumn of 1581, Ieyasu was at the shooting range of [[Azuchi Castle]] to test the ''[[Arquebus|teppō]]'' firearms that they had acquired and modified from the [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]]. He was joined by Oda Nobunaga and the newly-appointed [[samurai]] [[Yasuke]], who participated in the testing of the guns as well. Just as Yasuke was half-way through the test, several ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' attacked the group with the intention of [[Assassination|assassinating]] Nobunaga.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />

Though the assassins were eliminated, the incident prompted Nobunaga to arrange for an emergency meeting, with Ieyasu being asked to gather the generals. At the meeting, Ieyasu defended his fellow general [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hashiba Hideyoshi]] when [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] questioned his absence, but the clash was swiftly defused upon the arrival of Nobunaga and Yasuke. As the meeting began, the generals were soon joined by Hideyoshi, who brought the head of [[Harima]]'s slain ''daimyō'' [[Bessho Nagaharu]], much to Nobunaga's delight.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />

With all generals present and the meeting underway, Ieyasu brought up the issue of the [[Iga ikki|Iga ''ikki'']], who had defeated and pushed back [[Oda Nobukatsu]]'s army two years earlier in 1579. Ieyasu also suggested that the assassins earlier were likely of [[Iga]]n origin and they were being led by [[Momochi Sandayu|someone]] who wielded a [[Hidden Blade|blade]] on his wrist. Ultimately, Nobunaga concluded that they would [[Tenshō Iga War|invade]] Iga and set out the next day.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />

===Forming the Tokugawa shogunate===
At the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] on 21 October 1600, Ieyasu defeated [[Ishida Mitsunari]] and united the land under the Tokugawa clan, who would reign until 1868.<ref name="ACM">''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]''</ref>

'''Watanabe Moritsuna''' (1542 – 1620) was a [[Japan]]ese [[samurai]] of the {{Wiki|Watanabe|Watanabe clan}} who served under [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].

==Biography==
In 1561, Moritsuna was in a village near {{Wiki|Okazaki Castle}} in [[Mikawa]],<ref name="CH9"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref> where he was ordered to find a highly skilled ''[[ninja|shinobi]]'' for his ''[[daimyō]]'' Matsudaira Motoyasu, who would later be known as Tokugawa Ieyasu.<ref name="CH10"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 10|Chapter 10]]</ref> While fighting a drunk, he noticed that [[Hattori Hanzō]] was watching him and called him out.<ref name="CH9"/> When Hanzō tried to deny his presence, Moritsuna asserted that he liked a good chase. Chasing Hanzō across the rooftops, Moritsuna challenged the ''shinobi'' to a fight. While taunting him for his perceived lack of skill, he was soon caught off-guard by Hanzō's quick thinking.<ref name="CH10"/>

With Hanzō having passed his test, Moritsuna introduced himself, after which Hanzō apologized for his earlier remarks. Moritsuna also apologized for his test and stated that he needed Hanzō for a task.<ref name="CH10"/> Going to meet Takechiyo, Moritsuna told Hanzō that this mission was dangerous and it may affect not only his standing, but his family's as well.<ref name="CH11"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 11|Chapter 11]]</ref> After entering Motoyasu's residence, Moritsuna and Hanzō met with the ''daimyō'', who confided in both of them about their secret mission.<ref name="CH12"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref>

Takechiyo informed them that his wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and his children [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]] were detained at the [[Imagawa Mansion]] under [[Imagawa Ujizane]]'s watch, and tasked Moritsuna and Hanzō to rescue them discreetly. When Hanzō divulged his real [[Assassin-Templar War|mission]], Takechiyo revealed that Ujizane had recently received a [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[Paulino Massa|priest]] who carried a [[Templar insignia|red cross]] around his neck, similar to the one described by Hanzō. With the revelation of the [[Templars]]' involvement, Hanzō accepted the mission.<ref name="CH12"/>

While getting ready for their mission, Moritsuna noticed Hanzō's [[Hidden Blade]] and asked him about it, to which Hanzō divulged his alliance with the [[Assassins]] and his adoration of [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu|Tsuyu]], who had given him the blade in [[Iga]]. At that moment, Hanzō accidentally activated the blade, nearly killing himself. After brushing the incident aside, Hanzō and Moritsuna turned their attention back to the mission and began to plan their rescue of Takechiyo's family.<ref name="CH12"/>

The next year, Moritsuna and Hanzō planned their rescue mission by going over Imagawa Mansion's blueprints.<ref name="CH13"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 13|Chapter 13]]</ref><ref name="CH18"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 18|Chapter 18]]</ref> While Moritsuna plans to go in with his own team of ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'', Hanzō took the lead while he admitted that his [[Hidden Blade|hidden blade]] will prove more useful.<ref name="CH13"/>

However, the mansion's bell is rung, leading Moritsuna to go and to find Hanzō with Takechiyo's family. Moritsuna soon found himself engaging many soldiers and killed them quickly. Soon enough, he found Hanzō but he is accompanied by a [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] guard [[Amano Kageyasu]]. Shocked, Moritsuna followed Hanzō and Kageyasu and ran away from the reinforcements. He later discussed their next steps while wondering how to find Sena and the kids. However, riding past them, [[Udono Nagateru]] had Sena hostage much to Moritsuna and Hanzō's dismay. Kageyasu soon informed them that they are headed to [[Kaminogō Castle]], to which Moritsuna stated they all should follow. However, Hanzō instructed them to join Takechiyo's force while he left to save Sena and her family alone.<ref name="CH23"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref>

Fortunately, Moritsuna saw Hanzō successfully completing the mission, reuniting Takechiyo's family during the [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]] of the castle. The following day, Moritsuna joined Hanzō during a debrief meeting with Takechiyo, detailing how he saved Sena and how his clan ultimately captured the castle from the Imagawa clan. When Takechiyo offered Hanzō a place besides Moritsuna, the ''shinobi'' admitted that he must travel back to [[Iga]] to follow through with his task.<ref name="CH26"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

'''Matsudaira Nobuyasu''' (松平信康, c. 1559 - 1579) was [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]'s and [[Lady Tsukiyama]]'s son and brother to [[Kamehime]].

==Biography==
In 1561, Matsudaira Nobuyasu, along with his mother Sena and baby sister Kamehime, were held hostage and caged in [[Imagawa Mansion]] by their relative [[Imagawa Ujizane]]. Wanting to go home, Nobuyasu asked his mother when they can go home and where his father was. However, when Sena tried to assure him, Ujizane came in and harassed Sena in front of Nobuyasu, ordering them to behave while in his care.<ref name="Ch12">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref>

The next year, Nobuyasu held his sister in his arms while under the supervision of [[Udono Nagateru]] at [[Kaminogō Castle]]. While he watched Nagateru threaten his mother, he later saw the ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' [[Hattori Hanzō]] arrive and throw a ''[[shuriken]]'' at the samurai. However, [[Templars|Templar]] and [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] [[Paulino Massa]] entered the room and stopped the ''shuriken'' before introducing himself. When Nagateru complained about his presence, Massa killed him in front of the children before turning the gun on them. Massa then gave Hanzō a choice to either save them and reveal the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]] or have them die.<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

Yet, Nobuyasu soon saw his mother take out her ''[[tantō]]'' and offer her life for her kids' survival. With Massa in agreement, Hanzō solelmly accepted and took her kids hastily, leaving Sena behind. However, while escaping, Nobuyasu pleaded Hanzō to rescue his mother but the ''shinobi'' continued on their escape. The young boy soon reminded him of his duty to their clan, much to Hanzō's surprise. Taking a moment, Hanzō then rushed Nobuyasu and his sister out of the castle but later regressed to find his mother.<ref name="Chapter 25">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref> Fortunately, Hanzō successfully brought back his mother, completely reuniting his family.

'''Kamehime''' (亀姫, c. 1560 - 1625) was the daughter of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] and [[Lady Tsukiyama]] and the sister of [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu]].

==Biography==
In 1561, Kamehime, along with her mother Sena and her brother Nobuyasu, were held captive and jailed in [[Imagawa Mansion]] by [[Imagawa Ujizane]]. While Kamehime was asleep in her mother's arms, both Sena and Nobuyasu were scolded and instructed by Ujizane to behave or else they will no longer serve as pawns in his game.<ref name="Ch12">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref>

In 1562, Kamehime and her family were brought to [[Kaminogō Castle]] by [[Udono Nagateru]]. While asleep, she was nearly rescued by her father's retainer and ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' [[Hattori Hanzō]], however, [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] and [[Templars|Templar]] [[Paulino Massa]] stopped him. When Nagateru objected to his presence, Massa decidedly shot and killed Nagateru before turning his gun on Sena and her family. He then gave Hanzō a choice between them or the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]].<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

Yet, her mother Sena unsheathed her ''[[tantō]]'' and pressed it to her neck, offering her lives for her children. With this show of affection, Massa agreed while Hanzō took Kamehime and Nobuyasu away from the burning castle. However, due to Nobuyasu's constant pleas, Hanzō rushed to the kids to safety but he then began tracking down Sena and Massa to a nearby watchtower.<ref name="Chapter 25">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref> Fortunately, Hanzō rescued her mother from Massa and thus reunited her whole family.<ref name="Chapter 26">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

==Biography==
In 1561, Sena and her children were held captive at [[Imagawa Mansion]] under [[Imagawa Ujizane]]'s care.

While she was being taken to the castle, she saw her husband's retainers [[Hattori Hanzō]] and [[Watanabe Moritsuna]] escaping from the mansion.<ref name="CH23"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref> Held hostage with her kids, Sena stood defiant against [[Udono Nagateru]]'s comments and threats. When Hanzō arrived and tried to rescue her, Massa appeared and stopped him. When Nagateru complained about his presence, Massa shot the [[samurai]] dead and then held Sena and her kids at gunpoint. He then gave Hanzō a choice, the information about the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]] or their lives.<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

However, Massa became impatient and counted down in five seconds. Sena then took out her ''[[tantō]]'' and threatened to kill herself unless he spared her kids and for them to be taken by Hanzō. Massa agreed and offered a revised choice to Hanzō, who, after a moment, took the kids and left Sena behind. After the ''shinobi'' left, Sena was taken from the castle and held by Massa by a nearby watchtower.<ref name="Chapter 25">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref>

Sena soon learned that Massa never intended to kill her or the kids but to use them as leverage against her husband to join his cause. Despite her worries, Sena soon looked above to find Hanzō having returned for her.<ref name="Chapter 25"/> When he came to check on her, Massa tried to shoot him but fell quickly to Hanzō's [[hidden blade]]. Quickly, Sena was escorted back to her husband and reunited with her family. She later bid farewell to her savior, who headed back to [[Iga]] after completing his mission.<ref name="Chapter 26">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

[[File:ACSH InM Kaminogo Castle 1.jpg|thumb|250px|Kaminogō Castle]]
'''Kaminogō Castle''' was a castle and outpost of the [[Imagawa clan]] that was located in [[Mikawa|Mikawa Province]], [[Japan]].

==History==
In 1562, [[Iga]]n ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' [[Hattori Hanzō]] followed [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] retainer [[Udono Nagateru]] alone as he rode with his hostage, [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]], [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]]'s wife, to the castle.<ref name="Chapter 23">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref> Within the ''tenshu'', Sena and her children [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]] were held under the watch of Nagateru, who began to threaten Sena. In a split moment, Hanzō arrived and threw his ''[[shuriken]]''. However, it was stopped by an instant [[Throwing knife|knife]] coming from a doorway.<ref name="Chapter 24">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

Introducing himself, the [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] and [[Templars|Templar]] [[Paulino Massa]] saved Nagateru, who was angered by his presence at the castle. Quickly, Massa stated Nagateru's dismissal aloud before shooting him point-blank and killing him instantly. Turning his [[pistol]] on Sena and her kids, he offered a choice to Hanzō: their lives for the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]]. Shocked, Hanzō then realized the castle was under [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]] and burning down. Nevertheless, Massa asked the choice again, leaving Hanzō confounded.<ref name="Chapter 24"/>

Massa became impatient and counted down until Sena took out her ''[[tantō]]'' and offered her life for her children. Massa agreed to the compromise and offered a new deal to Hanzō. Bothered, he took the kids while leaving Sena behind with Massa. While embattled with his decision, Hanzō was implored by Nobuyasu to save his mom. Meanwhile, Massa and Sena also departed from the castle while the Templar devised a plan to use Sena as leverage and push Takechiyo to join his plans. However, despite her worries, Sena looked above herself and saw Hanzo having returned for her.<ref name="Chapter 25">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref> While Massa tried to stop him, Hanzō quickly killed the Templar and took Sena back to Takechiyo before the castle burned down. Afterwards, Takechiyo reunited with his family and also captured the castle from the [[Imagawa clan]].<ref name="Chapter 26">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

'''Paulino Massa''' (died 1562) was an [[Italy|Italian]] [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] priest and a [[Templars|Templar]] who lived in [[Japan]] during the late [[Sengoku period]].

==Biography==
In 1560, Paulino Massa established a relationship with ''[[daimyō]]'' [[Imagawa Ujizane]] and recruited him into the Templar Order.<ref name="CH12"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 12|Chapter 12]]</ref> He then promised to take charge on their plans against the [[Oda clan]] and his vassal [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Motoyasu]].<ref name="CH9"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref> In the next year, Massa and Ujizane then detained Matsudaira's wife [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] and their children [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]] at Ujizane's [[Imagawa Mansion|mansion]] to leverage power over Matsudaira.<ref name="CH12"/>

However, their initial plans to infiltrate [[Iga]] and to find the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]] failed, as the ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' led by [[Toza]] were all killed, while the ''[[rōnin]]'' [[Kuroiwa Gonjou-rou]] survived.<ref name="CH9"/> However, he and Ujizane soon understood that Motoyasu would send a rescue party for his family, especially the one who was in Iga and whose family is loyal to his clan.<ref name="CH23"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 23|Chapter 23]]</ref>

In 1562, with his prediction true, Massa waited at [[Kaminogō Castle]] for the arrival of the last hostage. When Ujizane's retainer [[Udono Nagateru]] arrived with Sena, he soon caught sight of the Igan ''shinobi'' [[Hattori Hanzō]] just right after him. Massa then threw a [[Throwing knife|knife]] at Hanzō's ''[[shuriken]]'', which was aimed at Nagateru. Introducing himself, Massa was met with opposition from Nagateru who did not want his presence here at the castle. Insulted, Massa then dismissed Nagateru and then shot the retainer point-blank dead. With his [[pistol]], he aimed his gun towards Sena and her children while offering a choice to Hanzō. He soon demanded for the location of the Imperial Regalia in exchange for Motoyasu's family.<ref name="CH24"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 24|Chapter 24]]</ref>

However, before Hanzō could respond, Sena held a ''[[tantō]]'' to her neck, offering her compliance for her kids' lives. Massa agreed and offered the choice of either taking the kids or telling him about the Regalia for all of their lives. Reluctant, Hanzō saved her kids while the castle became unstable and started to collapse around them. Afterwards, Massa took Sena from the castle and found themselves at a watchtower while they watched Takechiyo winning the [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]].<ref name="CH25"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 25|Chapter 25]]</ref>

There, Massa admitted that he never met any harm to her and her family and intended to use her as a bargaining chip for Motoyasu to join his cause. Upset, Sena soon looked above her and saw that Hanzō arrived and came back for her.<ref name="CH25"/> With this intrusion, Massa planned to shoot the ''shinobi'', however Hanzō proved faster and fatally stabbed him. Lying on the floor, he remarked and complimented Hanzō on his efforts and acumen before succumbing to his wound.<ref name="CH26"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 26|Chapter 26]]</ref>

'''''Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga'' Chapter 26''' is the twenty-sixth chapter of the manga ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'', a prequel to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''. The manga, written and illustrated by [[Reguje]], was released on 2 July 2026.

==Summary==
;[[Mikawa]], 1562 
While the [[Siege of Kaminogō Castle|siege]] continued, [[Lady Tsukiyama|Sena]] sees [[Hattori Hanzō]] above her, surprising [[Paulino Massa]]. While Hanzō checks on Sena, Massa pulls out his [[pistol]] and aims it at the ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]''. Instantly, Hanzō reacts and stabs Massa in the heart with his [[hidden blade]]. Bleeding out, Massa falls onto the floor and speaks of his surprise of not being able to control Hanzō. Hanzō replies that his plans with Sena was never going to happen. Massa states that Hanzō is a result of doing his duty despite of the love aspect before dying. With the fires coming close to the watchtower, he escorts Sena quickly away from the siege.

Moments later, Hanzō reunites Sena with her husband [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Matsudaira Takechiyo]] and her children [[Matsudaira Nobuyasu|Nobuyasu]] and [[Kamehime]]. The next day, Takechiyo meets with Hanzō and [[Watanabe Moritsuna]] about the events earlier. Takechiyo first thanks Hanzō for saving his family, looking upon the former [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] guard [[Amano Kageyasu]] play with Nobuyasu. While Moritsuna feels pushed aside, Takechiyo inquires on how Hanzō was able to save Sena. Hanzō reveals that he came upon two guards, one happening to be the son of [[Udono Nagateru]]. The guard had yelled out how he planned to avenge his father against his killers but Hanzō exclaimed the [[Templars]] were responsible and how they had no part of it. However, he also gave no stop and encouraged them to fight if they wished it. However, the guards backed down while Hanzō continued with his mission.

Hanzō recounts that without the initial help from Moritsuna and Kageyasu, none of this would have been possible. Takechiyo thanks him for his mission and for honoring his family's alliance with his clan. When he offers Hanzō a position along with Moritsuna, Hanzō responds that while he is grateful, he has unfinished business in [[Iga]] and plans to follow it through ultimately. Departing, Hanzō bids farewell to Takechiyo's family and heads for Iga.
