	The '''Mission to Aragon''' was a mission undertaken in 1491 by the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Italian Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] to rescue his [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins\|Spanish brothers]] after receiving news of their arrests by the [[Spanish Inquisition]].

Rodrigo, playing on their religious fanaticism, merely informed them that they were atheists, and that was enough for the Inquisition to arrest them for heresy.

	The purge of the Assassins throughout Spain drove [[Luis de Santángel]] to seek the Assassins of [[Italy]] to protect his friend [[~~Christopher Columbus\|~~Christoffa Corombo]]. It was here that Ezio Auditore heard of the plight of his allies in Spain after aiding Luis and Christoffa. Feeling obligated to save them as a fellow Assassin, Ezio put aside his quest to recover the [[Apple of Eden 6\|Apple]] of [[Eden]] and journeyed to Spain.

	Arriving at [[Barcelona]] in the Crown of Aragon, Ezio assassinated the prosecutor [[Gaspar Martínez]] and saved an Assassin from execution with the help of the Spanish Assassin [[Raphael Sánchez]]. They then proceeded to [[Zaragoza]], where Ezio repeated his success by rescuing the majority of the Assassins and killing the ''calificador'' [[Pedro Llorente]], thereby disrupting the Inquisition's operations in Aragon.

	By 1491, the Inquisition had targeted [[Assassin Guilds]] throughout the Crown of Aragon, a systematic purge that left the Assassin [[Luis de Santángel]] without much allies with an expertise in combat. That same year, his friend Christoffa Corombo, seeking financial backing for a voyage west across the [[Atlantic Ocean]], was contacted by a man known as the Spaniard—actually Rodrigo Borgia—offering his sponsorship, and the two scheduled a meeting in [[Venice]].<ref name="AC2D" />		By 1491, the Inquisition had targeted [[Assassin Guilds]] throughout the Crown of Aragon, a systematic purge that left the Assassin [[Luis de Santángel]] without much allies with an expertise in combat.

	The '''Mission to Aragon''' was a mission undertaken in 1491 by the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Italian Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] to rescue his [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins\|Spanish brothers]] after receiving news of their arrests by the [[Spanish Inquisition]]. Though the Inquisition was unaware of the Spanish Assassins' affiliation, they had been supplied their names by Cardinal [[Rodrigo Borgia]], [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] of the [[Roman Rite of the Templar Order\|Italian Templars]]. Rodrigo, playing on their religious fanaticism, merely informed them that they were atheists, and that was enough for the Inquisition to arrest them for heresy.

	The purge of the Assassins throughout Spain drove [[Luis de Santángel]] to seek the Assassins of [[Italy]] to protect his friend [[Christopher Columbus\|Christoffa Corombo]]. It was here that Ezio Auditore heard of the plight of his allies in Spain after aiding Luis and Christoffa. Feeling obligated to save them as a fellow Assassin, Ezio put aside his quest to recover the [[Apple of Eden 6\|Apple of Eden]] and journeyed to Spain.

	Luis, however, suspected that the meeting would be a trap, and urged Christoffa against it, but the desperate explorer refused to heed his warnings. The Assassin's intuition had not been wrong.

	Without Assassin agents left in Spain to rely upon, Luis and Christoffa arrived in Venice lacking protection from the Templars. Since Christoffa continued to insist on meeting with the Spaniard, Luis contacted the thieves' guild of the city, run by the Assassin [[Antonio de Magianis]]. In response to his request for aid, Antonio recommended Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Because Luis did not initially disclose to Ezio that he, himself, was an Assassin, Ezio considered his request to be mercenary work and was reluctant.<ref name="AC2D" />		Without Assassin agents left in Spain to rely upon, Luis and Christoffa arrived in Venice lacking protection from the Templars.
