	Once his uncle had been defeated in 1490, Muhammad XII became the undisputed emir of Granada, but he quickly came to shun his vassalage to Castile and revolted against the Christian kingdoms, defying expectations that the war was over. Since Castile's conquest of Granada had already been all but completed, Muhammad XII's rebellion only left him with his base of Granada.<ref name="AC2D">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – {{Cite\|21 Jan 2021~~.

	Victory seemed impossible and resistance foolhardy, yet Muhammad XII persevered even as Spanish forces laid siege to the capital in April 1491. For seven months the siege raged on, and at best, the Moors seemed to be only delaying the inevitable, yet Muhammad XII remained convinced of his resolution. In truth, his obstinacy was influenced by the machinations of a [[Templars\|Templar]] spy among his circle of advisors. The spy presented him false counsel that downplayed the peril the emir was in.<ref name="AC2D" />		Victory seemed impossible and resistance foolhardy, yet Muhammad XII persevered even as Spanish forces laid siege to the capital in April 1491.

	The motivations of the Templars had little to do with Muhammad XII: they hoped that by keeping Castile embroiled in the conflict, they could exhaust its treasury as much as possible—ideally until it was bankrupt ''and'' Granada utterly destroyed. Without funds, Queen [[Isabella I of Castile\|Isabella I]] of [[Castile]] would be unable to sponsor the ~~voyage of~~ [[~~Christopher Columbus~~]] across the [[Atlantic Ocean]], giving the Templars the opportunity to conduct their own expedition first for a headstart at ~~the domination of~~ the [[Americas]].<ref name="AC2D" />		The motivations of the Templars had little to do with Muhammad XII: they hoped that by keeping Castile embroiled in the conflict, they could exhaust its treasury as much as possible—ideally until it was bankrupt and Granada utterly destroyed.

	In late November just before the night of the last assault on Granada, the Templar spy was assassinated by the Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. In the wake of this development, the Templars seized Muhammad XII outright in his throne room at the [[Alhambra]] palace, without even his [[Soldier\|guards]] being aware of it. As a hostage, Muhammad XII could do nothing but listen as his Templar captor gloated over his schemes, all while the battle of Granada raged on outside.<ref name="AC2D" />		In late November just before the night of the last assault on Granada, the Templar spy was assassinated by the Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]].
