	~~Within the next twenty years~~, Caro and his fellow Templar [[Duarte de Melo]] discovered a number of different artifacts and treasures.

	At one point, Caro and de Melo talked about the Inner Sanctum and how they would be convinced to continue funding their mission. Caro assured de Melo that the Sanctum would believe whatever he told them, even his lie about the Imperial Regalia being [[Piece of Eden\|Pieces of Eden]].

	~~Needing~~ allies, the Templars convinced ~~the overthrown~~ [[Ashikaga shogunate\|Ashikaga]] ''[[shōgun]]'' [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki\|Yoshiaki]], who had founded the secret organization, the Shinbakufu, to trade the regalia in exchange for his return to power.

	However, Caro and de Melo had noticed the issue of Lord [[Oda Nobunaga]] and his mission to unify Japan, a task that could impede their plans. Yet, Caro reassured de Melo that one of Nobunaga's men, [[Akechi Mitsuhide]], was already under the Templars' thumb and that all Mitsuhide needed was a "simple nudge" to go against his lord. When de Melo voiced his desire to kill Nobunaga himself, Caro asserted that their work was to be done in private and that this was the way the Templars had always operated. Caro then happily explained that, while the Japanese clans kept fighting each other, the Templars' plan would flourish, allowing them to eventually give the clans the "peace" they deserved.<ref name="Shadows Without Light"/>		However, Caro and de Melo had noticed the issue of Lord [[Oda Nobunaga]] and his mission to unify Japan, a task that could impede their plans.
