	Unwillingly giving information to Altaïr and escaping her captor several times, Maria began to realize that the Templars' [[New World Order\|ambitions]] were not beneficial for ~~humanity~~, and slowly grew closer to Altaïr. Eventually, she and Altaïr infiltrated the [[Templar Archive]] in [[Limassol]], where she faced off against Bouchart alone.
