			In 1489, the Inquisitor and [[Templars\|Templar]] [[Gustavo Ramírez]] ordered his executioner to [[Auto-da-fé\|burn]] dozens of innocent [[civilian]]s in Zaragoza's town square. The Spanish Assassins uncovered the plot and killed the executioner, who with his dying words gloated that he had merely served as a distraction that allowed Ramírez to retrieve a [[Shattered Staff of Eden\|powerful artifact]] from [[St. Rafael Abbey]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rebellion]]'' – [[The Auto-Da-Fé]]</ref>

	~~After stopping~~ the ~~Inquisitors in~~ [[~~Barcelona~~]], the ~~Assassins Ezio Auditore and~~ [[~~Raphael Sánchez~~]] ~~journeyed to Zaragoza to save~~ the Assassins ~~there; they had been alerted~~ to the ~~operation by a list of Zaragozan~~ Assassins ~~found on~~ the ~~corpse~~ of ~~prosecutor~~ [[~~Gaspar Martínez~~]].<ref name="~~AC2D~~" />		[[File:Find Pedro Llorente 1.png\|thumb\|250px\|left\|Ezio and Raphael arriving in Zaragoza]]
			In 1491, at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, [[Rodrigo Borgia]], [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] of the [[Roman Rite of the Templar Order\|Italian Templars]], provided the names of the Spanish Assassins to Grand Inquisitor [[Tomás de Torquemada]].

	~~The first of these Assassins was brought to~~ the ~~local tribunal, where he was interrogated by Llorente and his~~ [[~~guards~~]]~~.

	Ezio then made his way through the city catacombs to save the remaining Assassins, causing Llorente to double the security on the last prisoner, who was held in his palace. However, Ezio managed to free him as well before tracking Llorente to the basilica to kill him. Upon their confrontation, Llorente revealed his ignorance of a Templar conspiracy, but Ezio assassinated him nonetheless for being responsible for the attempted purge. Soon after the assassination, Ezio and Raphael made their way to [[Granada]] to investigate Templar operations there.<ref ~~name="AC2D"~~ />		The first of these Assassins was brought to the local tribunal, where he was interrogated by Llorente and his [[Soldier\|guards]].

	===Raid on the Assassins===		===Raid on the Assassins===
	In the aftermath of the [[Granada War]], where the Assassins foiled a Templar plot to prolong the war to exhaust the Castilian treasury from funding the voyage of [[~~Christopher Columbus\|~~Christoffa Corombo]], the bitter Templars retaliated by launching attacks on the homes of [[Luis de Santángel]] and Raphael Sánchez, two of the Assassins principally responsible for their failure. Both had been residing in Zaragoza at the time, and the Templars employed the Spanish Inquisition for this operation.<ref name="~~AC2D~~" />		[[File:Rid the Palace of Inquisitors 2.png\|thumb\|250px\|Ezio meeting with Luis at his palace]]

	When soldiers of the Inquisition barged into ~~the~~ Luis's palace, their announced intention was to arrest him for heresy, but in truth, they planned to murder him on sight. To Luis's fortune, Ezio Auditore had been paying him a visit at the time and was there to save his life, killing the entire force of raiding soldiers. Knowing that Raphael must be under attack as well, he then rushed across the city to Raphael's estate, narrowly saving him from a guard captain that had cornered him.<ref name="~~AC2D~~" />		When soldiers of the Inquisition barged into Luis's palace, their announced intention was to arrest him for heresy, but in truth, they planned to murder him on sight.

	Although the Assassins had formerly believed that an assassination of Torquemada would only incite more turmoil, the attempts on their lives changed their minds on their stance. They ordered Ezio to eliminate Torquemada once and for all right away, and the Assassin infiltrated the Grand Inquisitor's palace in Zaragoza for this purpose. Deep within the palace, he at last located his ~~query~~, but as instructed by Raphael, he confronted him directly, seeking to goad him into revealing the extent of his connections with the Templars.
