Biography[edit | edit source]
Around the time of the Granada War, Benedicto took steps to protect the young Prince Ahmed, son of his ally Sultan Muhammad XII of Granada, having the boy hidden in a village by another friend of the Brotherhood, Diego.[1]
Benedicto later took Aguilar de Nerha under his wing after the boy's Assassin parents were burned at the stake by the Inquisition. He convinced the rest of the Brotherhood to accept him despite their doubts, and trained the younger man while teaching him the Creed.[2]
In 1489, Benedicto tasked María with aiding Ezio Auditore and other visiting members from the Italian Brotherhood[3] in their search[4] for an Apple of Eden that had been stolen shortly after the Battle of Forlì.[5]
In 1492, Benedicto presided over Aguilar's formal induction into the Brotherhood. Later that year, he led a team of Assassins in an attempt to prevent the capture of Ahmed by the Templars, who wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to obtain another Apple of Eden entrusted to Muhammad XII by the Assassins. However, the mission failed, and the Mentor was captured alongside Aguilar and María. Benedicto was eventually brought to Seville with his apprentices, where he was branded a heretic by Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada before being burned at the stake.[2]
