	'''Francis Xavier''', born '''Francisco de Jasso y Azpilicueta''' (1506 – 1552), was a {{Wiki\|Catholic Church\|Roman Catholic}} missionary and member of the [[Spanish Rite of the Templar Order\|Spanish Rite]] of the [[Templar Order]].		'''Francis Xavier''', born '''Francisco de Jasso y Azpilicueta''' (1506 – 1552), was a {{Wiki\|Catholic Church\|Roman Catholic}} missionary and member of the [[Spanish Rite of the Templar Order\|Spanish Rite]] of the [[Templar Order]]. He was one of the co-founders of the [[Jesuits\|Society of Jesus]] and, as a representative of the [[Portuguese Empire]], led the first Jesuit mission to [[Japan]], secretly with the goal of spreading the Templars' influence.

	During the first half of the 16th century, the Templars had suffered numerous defeats at the hands of the [[Assassins\|Assassin Brotherhood]] in [[Europe]].

	One of the first clans to welcome Xavier's [[Jesuits\|Jesuit]] mission in Japan was the [[Shimazu clan]], whose leader, [[Shimazu Takahisa]], allowed the missionaries to preach Christianity in his domains, secretly hoping this would lead to more trade with the [[Portuguese Empire\|Portuguese]]. After a year, however, Takahisa withdrew his support of the Jesuits and prohibited the conversion of his subjects to Christianity.<ref name="EOH">''[[Echoes of History]] – Shadows'' – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>		One of the first clans to welcome Xavier's [[Jesuits\|Jesuit]] mission in Japan was the [[Shimazu clan]], whose leader, [[Shimazu Takahisa]], allowed the missionaries to preach Christianity in his domains, secretly hoping this would lead to more trade with the [[Portuguese Empire\|Portuguese]].

			===Death===
			In 1552, Xavier embarked on a voyage to [[China]], where he hoped to spread the Jesuit doctrine. He made a stop on [[Shangchuan Island]], where he was robbed of most of his possessions by a smuggler who fled to [[Macau]], and struggled to find anyone willing to transport him and his missionaries to the mainland. Learning that both the [[Assassins\|Chinese Assassins]] and his fellow Templars from the [[Portuguese Rite of the Templar Order\|Portuguese Rite]] were after the [[Precursor box]] he carried, Xavier sought refuge in a chapel.<ref name="Lost Box">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Lost Box]]</ref>

			Before long, however, the missionary was found by [[João Machado]], a Portuguese Templar and priest who led the [[Order of Saint Benedict of Aviz\|Knights of Aviz]]. Machado and his men ransacked the chapel, killed Xavier and his entire entourage, and left with the box, intending to deliver it to [[Gaspar Vilela]] in [[Nagasaki]].<ref name="Lost Box" />
