Antonio called upon [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] for the job.

	Grateful for the aid, Luis and Christoffa prepared to leave Venice, only to find that their hostel had been raided by the Templars. This would have been of little consequence to them if not for the fact that the prized atlas was still hidden inside. They had notified Antonio that they would meet Ezio in the garden district should anything have gone wrong with Christoffa's meeting, and when Ezio arrived as requested, they informed him of their problem. Reluctant yet again, Ezio emphasized that this was to be their last favor and left to recover Christoffa's atlas.<ref name="AC2D" />		Grateful for the aid, Luis and Christoffa prepared to leave Venice, only to find that their hostel had been raided by the Templars.

	Luis continued serving the Spanish royal house for many years, always maintaining a watchful eye on Queen Isabella. As a devout Catholic, the queen was often swayed by the religious extremists in her court, who sought to intensify the Inquisition. Luis strove hard for many years to counteract the influence that the Inquisition wielded over her, but when Rodrigo Borgia~~, the Grand Master of the Templars,~~ was elected [[Papacy\|Pope]] on 11 August 1492, the Templars made phenomenal gains in their ~~power~~ over Isabella.

	Eventually, Luis lost all hope for Isabella and plotted to assassinate her by poisoning her slowly through the administration of periodic small dosages. For this, he employed the aid of a palace servant to serve as the poisoner and recorded all the details of the plot in a secret journal. As with many Assassin texts, its true content was written with an invisible ink that only those with [[Eagle Vision]] could see. When he died in 1498, however, his plan had yet come to fruition, in part because the dosage he and his accomplices calculated was insufficient. The palace servant was unable to continue the poisoning of Isabella because without Luis, she did not know how to craft the poison.<ref name="PL" />		Eventually, Luis lost all hope for Isabella and plotted to assassinate her by poisoning her slowly through the administration of periodic small dosages.
