Cardona requested that the team train with their British brother on the rooftop to see his skills first hand while he ventured out to try and find new weaponry, as their current ones were in a bad state of repair.

	Before [[World War I]], Grosvenor was a member of the Templar faction which followed the [[Master Spy]]. Twelve years after the death of the [[Sage]], Grosvenor found the trace of the missing [[Albert Bolden]] in a [[China\|Chinese]] opium den.

	As a result, Bolden resolved to take the Piece of Eden from the [[Switzerland\|Swiss]] bank it was secreted in and constantly moved around the world with the diamond on him. During nine years, Bolden escaped the Templar goons that Grosvenor sent after him until he fell into a trap. Having discovered the location of Bolden's family and that his prey was regularly visiting the place to check on his loved ones from afar, Grovenor raided the house and butchered the Boldens as well as their dog to make a macabre scene and to lure the Black Cross inside. As a distraught Bolden discovered the gruesome fate of his family, a hidden Grosvenor used his distraction to knock him out and to take the artifact before fleeing.<ref name="ACUprising" />		As a result, Bolden resolved to take the Piece of Eden from the [[Switzerland\|Swiss]] bank it was secreted in and constantly moved around the world with the diamond on him.

	Needing someone with a high count of Isu DNA to unlock the powers of the diamond, Grosvenor went to [[Spain]] where he planned to manipulate the Assassin [[Ignacio Cardona]] to do so.
