			'''Alonzo Batilla''' (born 1690s) was a [[France\|French]] [[Piracy\|pirate]] active in the [[Caribbean]] in the early 18th century, during the third and final [[Golden Age of Piracy]].

	==Biography ==		During his career as a pirate, Alonzo befriended the infamous Frenchman [[Olivier Levasseur]], and after Levasseur's execution by the [[United Kingdom\|British]], searched for his treasure, which was rumored to contain a [[Piece of Eden]]. This unknowingly dragged the pirate into the [[Assassin-Templar War\|ancient conflict]] between the [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]], who sought the treasure for their own ends.

			==Biography==
	===Early life and meeting La Buse===		===Early life and meeting La Buse===
	Born to a French [[Alonzo Batilla's mother\|woman]] in late 17th century, Alonzo had become a wanted criminal who joined the [[French Navy]] under an alias in 1711 in the port of [[Toulon]], in order to escape his pursuers. Serving in the fleet of Admiral [[Jacques Cassard]], Batilla participated in the Battles of {{Wiki\|Montserrat}} and {{Wiki\|Antigua}} in the Caribbean. In battle, he distinguished himself by being an expert [[Firearm\|marksman]] and the first to board the enemy [[ship]]s, killing half a dozen British sailors by himself. Not wanting to come back to France, Batilla deserted after the war and recruited four other sailors in order to plunder [[merchant]] ships in the [[Caribbean Sea]].<ref name="ACPirates">''[[Assassin's Creed: Pirates]]'' – {{Cite\|5 Dec 2022.

	Just as Alonzo had defeated Condent, a British war fleet led by the pirate hunter [[Woodes Rogers]] suddenly appeared. Since the King's pardon had expired and the British fleet came to hunt down remaining pirates, Alonzo decided that he would delay the fleet, while Levasseur was to hide the Fragment of Eden. Levasseur fled aboard the Portuguese galleon, telling Alonzo that if something would go wrong, he'd find a way to tell him where to find the artifact. Alonzo then sailed out to meet the British fleet led by Woodes Rogers.<ref name="Quest for Eden" />		Just as Alonzo had defeated Condent, a British war fleet led by the pirate hunter [[Woodes Rogers]] suddenly appeared.

	Refusing to surrender to Rogers and telling his crew to brace themselves, Alonzo boldly attacked the Royal ~~navy~~. After sinking six ships of the British fleet, Batilla faced Rogers' Man O' War. However, Rogers' ship proved to be too strong for Alonzo and having not managed to inflict any significant damages to Rogers' vessel, Alonzo fled. Luckily for the pirate, ~~Roger~~ did not find Alonzo worth the chase and he told his fleet to sail for Nassau, where he was to claim his position as governor.<ref name="Quest for Eden" />		Refusing to surrender to Rogers and telling his crew to brace themselves, Alonzo boldly attacked the Royal Navy.

			Having escaped the British fleet, Alonzo consulted with his crew, who were resolute in leaving the Caribbean for good. Alonzo had other plans, however, as he explained that he'd rather take his chances with fate than to die a slow death.<ref name="Quest for Eden" />

			===Legacy===

			==Behind the scenes==
			Alonzo Batilla is a fictional character created for and appearing in the 2013 mobile game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Pirates]]'' as the main protagonist.

			===Etymology===
			Alonzo is a Spanish variant of the Old German name 'Alphonse', the meaning of which can be interpreted as either 'noble and ready' or 'ready for battle'. The surname Batilla is of Southern European origins, possibly derived from the Italian ''battaglia'', meaning 'battle' or 'fight'.

	In January of 1717 Alonzo met up with Bellamy, angry that he'd left him during the previous engagement with the Spanish Treasure Fleet. Bellamy apologized, and told Alonzo that his prize had not been aboard the Treasure Fleet, and that their target was [[Laurens Prins]], a wealthy slave trader. Alonzo agreed to find a merchant in [[Havana]] who'd know the whereabouts of Prins and his ship, the ''[[Whydah]]''. Alonzo and his crew sailed to Havana, [[Cuba]]. However, a large fleet of Spanish warships were blocking the port, and engaged Alonzo's ship. After the battle, the pirate managed to find another path into Havana's harbor, but it was blocked by [[naval mine]]s. Eventually, Alonzo made it past the mines and Spanish ships, before finally reaching Havana's port.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Pirates'' – ''Cold Blood'' – [[Blockade]]</ref>		In January of 1717 Alonzo met up with Bellamy, angry that he'd left him during the previous engagement with the Spanish Treasure Fleet.

	Alonzo used his spyglass to locate the merchant he was looking for, Captain Barnes. Alonzo met the man who had captured him some years earlier, and forced Barnes to give him information about Prins. After sparing Barnes' life, Alonzo noticed Francis Hume's ship sailing away from Havana. Following it, Alonzo witnessed the frigate pulling alongside a Spanish ship, and [[Eavesdropping\|eavesdropped]] on a conversation between Hume and [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]]. Learning that the Templars had sent brigs to attack Bellamy after the attack on the Treasure Fleet, Alonzo went to warn Bellamy, rescuing him from the Templar ships. Unbeknownst to Alonzo, he was followed by Hume. The two engaged in battle, and Alonzo ended up sparing Hume's life in the end.

	In the following month, Alonzo and Bellamy were tailing their target, when they came across Levasseur under attack by the Royal Navy. While Bellamy was keen on capturing the ''Whydah'', Alonzo was ready to help his friend. He engaged and destroyed the lighthouse, which enabled Levasseur to sail to safety. As an act of gratitude, Levasseur decided to join with Batilla and Bellamy. The duo soon caught up with Bellamy and, under Alonzo's advice, the pirates decided to ambush the ''Whydah'' by luring Prins into a trap. The plan worked and as Prins saw Alonzo's ship, he sailed the ''Whydah'' right into the pirates' trap. Instead of waiting for his allies, Alonzo engaged in combat with the ''Whydah'', wounding it significantly before Prins surrendered.<ref name="ACPirates" />		In the following month, Alonzo and Bellamy were tailing their target, when they came across Levasseur under attack by the Royal Navy.

	Alonzo soon met up with Levasseur in the [[The Bahamas\|Bahamas]]. Levasseur revealed the perfect location to store the Fragment of Eden would be in the [[Nassau\|Pirates Republic]]. Nassau would be safe from the Spanish and the Royal navies, and an unlikely place where the Templars would search for it. On their way to Nassau, the duo met the infamous pirate, [[Charles Vane]]. After a brief conversation with Vane, Batilla and Levasseur raced to the pirate city, in which Alonzo emerged victorious. On the city's shores, the pirates met [[Christopher Condent]], another pirate and secretly a Templar. Through Condent, Alonzo learned that Nassau did not have enough provisions to run, and the only suppliers, Hornigold and Thatch, were gone for months. Under Condent's suggestion, Alonzo attacked a Royal Navy convoy full of resources, and gave it to the pirate community of Nassau.

	In January of 1717 Alonzo met up with Bellamy, angry that he'd left him during the previous engagement with the Spanish Treasure Fleet. Bellamy apologized, and told Alonzo that his prize had not been aboard the Treasure Fleet, and that their target was [[Laurens Prins]], a wealthy slave trader. Alonzo agreed to find a merchant in [[Havana]] who'd know the whereabouts of Prins and his ship, the ''[[Whydah]]''. Alonzo and his crew sailed to Havana, [[Cuba]]. However, a large fleet of Spanish warships were blocking the port, and engaged Alonzo's ship. After the battle, the pirate managed to find another path into Havana's harbor, but it was blocked by [[naval mine]]s. Eventually, Alonzo made it past the mines and Spanish ships, before finally reaching Havana's port.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Pirates'' – ''[[Cold Blood]]'' – [[Blockade]]</ref>		In January of 1717 Alonzo met up with Bellamy, angry that he'd left him during the previous engagement with the Spanish Treasure Fleet.

	In the following month, Alonzo and Bellamy were tailing their target, when they came across Levasseur under attack by the Royal Navy. While Bellamy was keen on capturing the ''Whydah'', Alonzo was ready to help his friend. He engaged and destroyed the lighthouse, which enabled Levasseur to sail to safety. As an act of gratitude, Levasseur decided to join with Batilla and Bellamy. The duo soon caught up with Bellamy and, under Alonzo's advice, the pirates decided to ambush the ''Whydah'' by luring Prins into a trap. The plan worked and as Prins saw Alonzo's ship, he sailed the ''Whydah'' right into the pirates' trap. Instead of waiting for his allies, Alonzo engaged in combat with the ''Whydah'', wounding it significantly before Prins surrendered.<ref name="ACPirates" />		In the following month, Alonzo and Bellamy were tailing their target, when they came across Levasseur under attack by the Royal Navy.

	Alonzo soon met up with Levasseur in the [[The Bahamas\|Bahamas]]. Levasseur revealed the perfect location to store the Fragment of Eden would be in the [[Nassau\|Pirates Republic]]. Nassau would be safe from the Spanish and the Royal navies, and an unlikely place where the Templars would search for it. On their way to Nassau, the duo met the infamous pirate, [[Charles Vane]]. After a brief conversation with Vane, Batilla and Levasseur raced to the pirate city, in which Alonzo emerged victorious. On the city's shores, the pirates met [[Christopher Condent]], another pirate and secretly a Templar. Through Condent, Alonzo learned that Nassau did not have enough provisions to run, and the only suppliers, Hornigold and Thatch, were gone for months. Under Condent's suggestion, Alonzo attacked a Royal Navy convoy full of resources, and gave it to the pirate community of Nassau.
