Valencia is a city located in the autonomous region of the same name, in eastern Spain. A significant city and major Mediterranean trading port, the region was also home to the House of Borgia.
History[edit | edit source]
The condottiero and Templar Micheletto Corella was born in the city in 1470.[1] During the latter half of the 15th century, the Spanish Assassin Ysabel Lomelin was also born in Valencia.[2]
In 1489, the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins infiltrated a Valencian abbey in search of a painting from a set created by Leonardo da Vinci that had been inadvertently gambled away by their associate, Jaime del Rada. The paintings were obtained by the Inquisition captain Diego de Burgos, who separated them and gave one to each of his underlings. Among those people was his personal confessor, an abbot who kept it in the abbey.[3]
In 1493,[4] the Templar Cesare Borgia was named Cardinal of Valencia by his father, Pope Alexander VI.[5] He would later renounce this role in 1498 to pursue a military career.[4]
In January 1500, Ezio Auditore, after surviving the attack on Monteriggioni, met with Niccolò Machiavelli, who revealed that Valencia had taken control of the Vatican. Together, they discussed Cesare's growing reputation.[6]
On 26 June 1506, Ezio, Machiavelli, and Leonardo arrived in the city in pursuit of Micheletto Corella. Meeting the captain of their ship, Alberto, they learned of Micheletto's recent presence in Valencia and his connections with less savory characters. Following a lead to the Lone Wolf Inn, their pursuit took a violent turn when they were ambushed by attackers.[7]
In a fierce struggle, Ezio, Leonardo, and Machiavelli fended off their assailants, uncovering Micheletto's destination—the Castillo de la Mota, where Cesare Borgia was being held captive. The attackers, loyal to the Borgia cause, defiantly predicted their return to power. Despite the violent encounter, the trio resolved to press on with their mission.[7] After spending the night at the inn, they departed for the Castillo de la Mota, following maps given to them by their ship's captain, Filin.[8]
After rescuing his master Cesare from imprisonment, he and Micheletto rode back to Valencia.[9] While the Assassins were hot on their heels, they were not fast enough. A vision from the Apple of Eden had told Ezio of an impeding attack on the Valencia port; eager to race back, he was stopped by Machiavelli. Leonardo had fallen ill from exhaustion, and so Ezio agreed to take their time back to Valencia.[10]
A month later, they returned to Valencia to find the city in uproar as Cesare rapidly assembled an army and fleet to conquer Naples and Italy. Collaborating with Leonardo, the Assassins created bombs to disrupt the Borgia's plans. In separate missions, Ezio targeted troopships, destroying twelve, while Machiavelli used bombs to create chaos in the Borgia camp. After the successful sabotage, they planned to meet at the Lone Wolf Inn. Leonardo, having become homesick, decided to return to Italy. At the Lone Wolf Inn, the Assassins witnessed Cesare discarding Micheletto, who was shot and killed. In the ensuing scuffle, Machiavelli was shot through the shoulder and Cesare escaped. Ezio tended to the wounded Machiavelli, who was left under the care of a local doctor, Acosta, while Ezio followed Cesare to Viana.[11]
