			===16th century===
			Just before his death in 1519, [[Leonardo da Vinci]], afraid of possible interception, hid encoded information with trusted friends scattered around [[Europe]] under express instructions to destroy it should the [[Assassins]] not be able to contact them within a month of his death.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Letter from Leonardo</ref> After a first round of clues was uncovered by the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins]] in the cities of [[Florence]], [[Venice]] and [[Rome]], they then contacted the local Brotherhood chapter at Grenoble, passing alongside it a letter from Leonardo.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 17</ref> Leonardo's letter about Brussels informed the Assassins that after {{Wiki\|Hieronymus Bosch}}'s death some years prior, his most famous work, ''{{Wiki\|The Garden of Earthly Delights}}'', was bought and was being kept in Brussels. His ally in the city, a great traveller staying near the main town square of ''[[Grand'Place]]'', was awaiting the answer of a riddle involving the painting.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Mini-map: Brussels</ref> Having received the quest, the local chapter sent agents to four landmarks to investigate.

			The seat of the {{Wiki\|House of Orange-Nassau\|House of Orange}}, the ''[[Palais de Nassau]]'',<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 19</ref> proved well-guarded,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 139</ref> though the Assassins prevailed in combat. After waiting for the commotion to die down, they explored the palace further<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 046</ref> and found Bosch's painting, preparing a sketch of it for later use.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 072</ref>

			Sent to the ''[[Cathédrale Saints-Michel-et-Gudule]]'',<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 15</ref> an Assassin's investigation into da Vinci's quest was temporarily put aside when they caught a priest violently beating children. Quickly killing the abusive man, they heard from the children that they were orphans who had been taken in by the priest only for him to use them as a way to release his rage.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 120</ref> One of the orphans, [[Peter (orphan)\|Peter]], thanked the Assassin and offered to become an informant for the Brotherhood.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 002</ref> Returning to their original purpose, they searched a room to right, locating a confusing manuscript containing a reproduction of Bosch's painting with an attached riddle fragment.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 117</ref>

			The inspection at the church of ''[[Notre-dame du Sablon]]''<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 32</ref> was calmer. Examination of the holy scriptures near the altar revealed some annotations made by the priest that could help in figuring out the riddles<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 129</ref> and one of the monks in the church subtly motioned for the Assassin to follow him,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 050</ref> leading him to a stained glass window and pointing to a swan, another hint.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 153</ref>

			At the bustling ''Grand'Place'', the Assassins had a number of possible leads to follow.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 23</ref> At a fabric shop off the square, one Assassin overheard a merchant boasting that his artisans had been inspired by the ''The Garden of Earthly Delights'' for their latest creation,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 198</ref> and managed to retrieve a fragment of the riddle from the location.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 182</ref> In the open air market, another boasting merchant was claiming to have figured out the secret behind the painting, with his information being kept in a nearby wooden chest.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 101</ref> Picking the lock on the chest<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 038</ref> allowed the Brotherhood to acquire another riddle fragment.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 159</ref> A hustler playing dice proposed a gamble where he would give information if the Assassin managed to win his game, having mentioned he knew about the painting at the ''Palais de Nassau''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 18</ref> Impressed by the Assassin's skills, the hustler hands them a piece of paper witht the missing enigma fragment.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 125</ref> Climbing up the tower of the {{Wiki\|Brussels Town Hall\|town hall}} for a better look at the ''Grand'Place'',<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 172</ref> allowed for the Assassin to locate a building with a swan adorning its façade.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 04</ref>

			The Assassins headed to the ''[[Maison du Cygne]]'', where they finally met da Vinci's ally, the theologian [[Desiderius Erasmus]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 09</ref> Erasmus congratulated the Assassins on locating him, but required them to tell him the secret of the painting to prove that Leonardo had been correct in placing his trust on them.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 177</ref> Puzzling out the solution based on the information they had collected,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 015</ref> they tell Erasmus the answer. Nodding in agreement with the explanation, he disappeared into the building and quickly returned, handing them the translucid sheet with a line Leonardo had given him for safe keeping.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 192</ref>

			'''Brussels''' is a central region and capital of [[Belgium]].

	==History==		==History==
	By 1854, after a run in [[Rome]], the [[Aurora Equestrian Troupe]] soon performed in the region as its acrobat [[Pierrette Arnaud]] mentioned [[Simeon Price]]'s name in her performance, hoping for a response to find him.<ref name="Chapter 09">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 9</ref>		By 1854, after a run in [[Rome]], the [[Aurora Equestrian Troupe]] soon performed in the region as its acrobat [[Pierrette Arnaud]] mentioned [[Simeon Price]]'s name in her performance, hoping for a response to find him.<ref name="Chapter 09">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 9</ref>

			By 1870, the [[Austrian Rite of the Templar Order\|Austrian Templar]] Countess [[Konstanze von Visler]] found a residence at [[Château Aarden]] in Brussels and corresponded with [[Parisian Rite of the Templar Order\|French Templar]] [[Victoire L'Estocq]] about the new government they were setting up for a war-torn [[Paris]]. However, her correspondence was caught by the [[Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins\|French Assassin]], who sent the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assassin]] [[Simeon Price]] to track down Konstanze.<ref name="CH16">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Resurrection Plot]]'' – Chapter 16</ref> When he arrived, they spoke and came to an understanding, which resulted into a temporary truce between the two. The truce dictated for Konstanze to learn about the Assassins' ideology while the Templars stopped manipulating the French government.<ref name="CH19">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Resurrection Plot]]'' – Chapter 19</ref>

			For the next three years, Konstanze and Simeon grew close to each other and learned about each other, but their conversations ran their course after discussing both of their organizations' ideals and beliefs for awhile.<ref name="CH20">''Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Resurrection Plot'' – Chapter 20</ref> During one of the meetings, the Château Aarden's host and butler [[Lambert]] tried to kill Simeon on Templars' orders but was killed in response. Konstanze was told their alliance needed to be severed and apologized for the attack. Before Simeon could leave, Konstanze grabbed him and kissed him passionately, which Simeon reciprocated. After spending the night together, Simeon decided to leave Brussels to escape Templars' sight on him.<ref name="CH21">''Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Resurrection Plot'' – Chapter 21</ref>

			However, Konstanze joined him on his escape and agreed to leave the Templars and learn from the Assassins besides Simeon.<ref name="CH21"/> By September 1876, a trained Konstanze was given her first mission back in Brussels and infiltrated King [[Leopold II of Belgium]]'s international confernce of global exploration.
