	In 1520, the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés led a group of explorers to Mexico, among them an undercover [[Assassins\|Assassin]], [[Giovanni Borgia]]. Upon their arrival in Mexico, they made contact with several Nahua and [[Maya]] groups and acquired translators in order to facilitate communication with the regions' various societies including the Nahuatl-speaking populace of the Aztec Empire.<ref name="PL - Rome: Chapter 4">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Rome: Chapter 4 – Giovanni Borgia]]</ref>		In 1520, the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés led a group of explorers to Mexico, among them an undercover [[Assassins\|Assassin]], [[Giovanni Borgia]].

	Emperor Moctezuma II allowed for the Spanish expedition to be brought to the capital city of the Aztec realm, Tenochtitlan, where he greeted them warmly and allowed the soldiers accommodations within his own palace. Whether this was out of the belief that they were gods or to learn their weaknesses was questioned by many of the Spaniards.<ref name="PL - Rome: Chapter 4" />		Emperor Moctezuma II allowed for the Spanish expedition to be brought to the capital city of the Aztec realm, Tenochtitlan, where he greeted them warmly and allowed the soldiers accommodations within his own palace.

	The Spanish, including Giovanni, were eventually led to the Main Temple, where they witnessed the Aztec clergy sacrificing one of their own as a tribute to the gods.

	Upon witnessing the display of human sacrifice, the Spaniards – either out of disgust or the opportunity to strike – began to massacre the unarmed citizens of Tenochtitlan, though they were eventually driven back into Moctezuma's palace. They then forced the hostage Moctezuma II to speak to his people, during which he urged them to return to order.
