	'''Christoffa Corombo''' (c. 1451 – 1506), better known by the anglicized '''Christopher Columbus''', was an [[Italy\|Italian]] navigator, colonizer ~~and explorer~~. Originally intending to find a western route to the [[India]]n subcontinent, his voyages across the [[Atlantic Ocean]] widely exposed the existence of the [[Americas]] to the [[Europe]]ans and paved the way for the founding of the [[Spanish Empire]].		'''Christoffa Corombo''' (c. 1451 – 1506), better known by the anglicized '''Christopher Columbus''', was an [[Italy\|Italian]] navigator, explorer and colonizer from the [[Genoa\|Republic of Genoa]]. Originally intending to find a western route to the [[India]]n subcontinent, his [[Spain\|Spanish voyages]] across the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in the name of the [[Isabella I of Castile\|Catholic Monarch of Spain]] widely exposed the existence of the [[Americas]] to the [[Europe]]ans and paved the way for the founding of the [[Spanish Empire]].

	For this pivotal role, he was assisted by the [[Assassins]] [[Luis de Santángel]] and [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio Auditore]], and hounded after by the [[Templars]], who hoped to prevent his journey so as to be the first to claim the New World. As an Assassin ally, [[Aguilar de Nerha]] entrusted him with an [[Aguilar's Apple of Eden\|Apple of Eden]] in the aftermath of the [[Granada War]], an artifact he would ultimately carry to his grave at the [[Seville Cathedral]].

He later appeared in the 2016 film ''[[Assassin's Creed (film)\|Assassin's Creed]]'', where he was portrayed by [[Gabriel Andreu]].

	In ''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'', it is suggested that Columbus knew all along that the Americas were across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe, given the fact that their existence is illustrated in [[Christoffa's atlas\|his atlas]], and it may be that his conviction in his dream stems from this foreknowledge. Nevertheless, this is not explicit, as he only describes to Ezio ~~Auditore~~ that the map reveals a route already charted to the Orient. Historically, however, Christoffa was unaware of the Americas; his lack of support from European governments owed to his grave miscalculation of the [[Earth]]'s circumference and the distance from Spain to [[Japan]], which meant that if not for the Americas, his crew would have run out of supplies in the middle of the ocean.

	Despite being friends with the Assassins, it is unclear whether Christoffa is ever aware of the Brotherhood's existence or that they are his main benefactors, as all explicit in-game mentions of the Assassins and their activities occur when he is not present. When Luis first reveals to Ezio that the Spanish Inquisition is purging the Brotherhood, his conversation takes place in the precise window of time when Christoffa has briefly left to check on their ship. Despite this, Ezio openly describes to him that the attempt on his life in Spain is a Templar scheme, and he does not display any confusion as to the mention of that organization.
