'''Machu Picchu''' is a 15th-century [[Inca Empire|Inca]] citadel located in southern [[Peru]].

==History==
In 1536, [[Tuti Cusi]], councilor to the Incan Emperor [[Manco Inca Yupanqui]], sentenced [[Quila]] and [[Gonzalo Pardo]] to death, having a group of guards and his son, [[Ayar Acar]], escort the pair to Machu Picchu to be sacrificed in the name of the Sapa Inca. Having pieced together the plot to kill the emperor while on the journey there, upon arrival, Quila pleaded with Ayar, revealing it was Tuti Cusi behind it.<ref name="Issue 9">''[[Assassin's Creed (Titan Comics)|Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed 9|Issue 09]]</ref> Ayar dealt with the other guards and freed Quila and Gonzalo before taking a horse to return to Cusco in time to stop the [[assassination]].<ref name="Issue 10">''[[Assassin's Creed (Titan Comics)|Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed 10|Issue 10]]</ref>
