Altaïr Ibn-La’ahad
!width="5%"|Name
 
!width="5%"|Price (rival)
Altaïr Ibn-La'ahad (1165-1257), a distant ancestor of Desmond Miles, brought crucial reforms to the Assassin Brotherhood and expanded its influence beyond its Middle Eastern origins.
!width="5%"|Price (owned)
 
!width="5%"|Availability
Altaïr was skilled but arrogant, the youngest man ever to gain the rank of Master. On a mission to retrieve an artifact called the Apple of Eden, he broke the three tenets of the Assassin's Creed, costing him his status. His task for redemption was to stop the Templars, who were playing the Crusaders and Saracens against one another for control of the Holy Land. Altaïr eventually earned the respect of King Richard, hastening the end of the Third Crusade.
|-
 
![[Ceremonial Blade]]
The wisdom Altaïr gained let him uncover that his mentor, Al Mualim, was a traitor using the Apple's unfathomable powers for his own selfish desires. After restoring order, he became the Mentor, started a family, and reformed Assassin practices.

Altaïr dedicated the rest of his life to creating a Codex containing his memories, together with the information extracted from the Apple, in the hopes that future generations would use it to establish Assassin guilds throughout the world.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Ezio Auditore da Firenze (1459-1524) had a passion that drove him from being a carefree youth to an accomplished Assassin leader.
|After [[Prélude to Rebellion]]
 
|-
Ezio's privileged life vanished when Templar conspirators hanged his father and brothers. Taking up arms left to him by his father, he became an outlaw and traveled to Monteriggioni, where his Uncle Mario revealed his Assassin lineage. Ezio took up their cause, at first to protect his surviving family, but eventually to free Italy from Templar corruption in the form of the Borgias and their allies.
![[Cutlass (Liberation)|Cutlass]]
 
|N/A
Defeating the Borgias took many years, during which he befriended such luminaries as Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolò Machiavelli. They saw his potential and encouraged him to find his own path, and when he became the Brotherhood's Mentor he taught others the same.
|N/A
 
|Default
Later, Ezio traveled to the Middle East in search of Altaïr's lost library and the origins of the Assassins. He learned that his purpose was to be a conduit between an ancient civilization and a man in the future named Desmond. His duty done, Ezio retired from the Brotherhood, married his love, and raised a family before dying content.

Blackbeard
|1560
 
|[[The Loas Guide You]]
Blackbeard (c.1680-1718) was the most famous pirate of the Golden Age and is credited for creating the fearsome image of the pirate that remains in the public consciousness to this very day.
|-
 
![[Hanger Sword (Liberation)|Hanger Sword]]
Edward Thatch was born in or around Bristol in 1680 and took to the sea in his early teens. Thatch was known by many names throughout history, among them Teach, Theach, Tache, Titche, Teatch, and Tack, to name but a few. He was likely a privateer between the years of 1700 and 1713, but once the Treaty of Utrecht restored peace between England and several European powers, Thatch found himself as one of hundreds of unemployed sailors.
|
 
|
Soon thereafter, Thatch befriended Benjamin Hornigold and sailed with him for a few years before they settled in Nassau. There, they began to hatch schemes for nothing less than their own sovereign nation built around their new piratical values.
|
 
|-
In 1717, after growing a long black beard, Thatch began to refer to himself as Blackbeard, and so a legend was born.
![[Heavy Cavalry Sword]]

Black Bart
|
 
|-
Charismatic and handsome, Black Bart (1682-1722) was the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, taking more than 470 vessels in his career.
![[Officer's Short Sword]]
 
|
Although he is known to history as Black Bart, he never used that name while he was alive. He was born John Roberts in Wales, though little else is known about his early life.
|
 
|
It's assumed he began a life at sea in his teens, and in 1719 he was pressed into piracy by a man named Howell Davis, who recognized Robert's abilities as a navigator. When Davis was killed, Roberts was elected captain of the Princess. It's around this time he adopted the name Bartholomew, likely inspired by the renowned buccaneer Bartholomew Sharp.

Benjamin Hornigold
|N/A
 
|Ubisoft Connect
Benjamin Hornigold (c.1685-1719) had a relatively short career as a pirate before turning his back on his former comrades to become a pirate hunter on behalf of the Governor of the Bahamas.
|-
 
![[Sword (Liberation)|Sword]]
Much of Hornigold's life is unrecorded, although it is believed he was born in Norfolk, England. He was an early pirate, with his first activity recorded in 1713-14, which makes it likely that he was a privateer. His second-in-command was Edward Thatch, who would later be better known as Blackbeard.
|1508
 
|754
For a short time, Hornigold was based in Nassau, where he became involved in plans to create a free republic of pirates. Although he was a skilled sailor and strategist, many felt that he wasn't ruthless enough to succeed as a true pirate.

Adéwalé
|
 
|
Born to enslaved parents in Trinidad, Adéwalé was sold to the owner of a prosperous plantation before his teens. He escaped by joining a group of buccaneers who raided the plantation.
|
 
|-
Adé sailed with this group of men for many years, honing his skills as a sailor. In 1715, he was captured by Spanish authorities, who decided to send Adéwalé to Spain, and loaded him into one of the galleons that made up their perennial treasure fleet. Thanks to a hurricane, and a young Welsh pirate named Edward Kenway, Adé escaped. Freeing more prisoners as they went, Adé and Edward commandeered a brigantine and set sail just in time to beat the worst of the storm. When the hurricane passed, Adé was free once more.
![[Macuahuitl]]
 
|
Adé became the quartermaster aboard Captain Edward's ship, the Jackdaw. Operating out of Nassau for a time, they grew wealthy off their spoils and lived the lives they had always dreamed of. But Adé was a man who valued the democratic ideals of this pirate community far above the spoils they acquired while living it. And as he saw Edward Kenway fall deeper into a spiral of selfish greed and pointless glory, he wondered if there wasn't a more noble cause he might adopt to suit his ideals.
|
 
|
Adé met with Ah Tabai at the Assassin's village in Tulum. There he spoke with the old Mentor and asked him many questions about the Brotherhood. After hearing answers that pleased him greatly, Adé joined them. For over fifteen years, Adéwalé faithfully served the Assassins. But in time, he became increasingly troubled by memories of his past.

Edward Kenway
|-
 
![[Obsidian Axe]]
Edward James Kenway (1693-1735) was a pirate trained by Assassins whose dream of making something of himself came true in a way he never could have imagined.
|
 
|
Edward was born in Swansea, Wales and at the age of ten his family relocated to a farm in Bristol. This pastoral life did not agree with the young Edward who became a well-known troublemaker by the time he was in his teens. At 17, this reckless young man met Caroline Scott and a year later they were married, much to her well-bred family's dismay. Edward was committed to providing for his new wife, but quickly fell back into his old habits. In a desperate attempt to get rich, he clung to a dream of privateering. Caroline left him soon after, knowing that she could not persuade him to stay.
|
 
|-
Across the Atlantic, Edward met Edward Thatch, who would later take the name of Blackbeard, at Nassau. Although he loved the carefree life of a pirate, Caroline was never far from his thoughts, and he still sought out a way to earn big and win her back.
![[Chimbuya Axe]]

Haytham Kenway
![[Assassin Tomahawk|Connor's Tomahawk]]
 
|N/A
Haytham Kenway (1725-1781), a principled man and formidable Templar, found himself on the wrong side of both history and his son.
|N/A
 
|Ubisoft Connect
Haytham's father was Edward Kenway, who trained him with a secret purpose. But one day, young Haytham's home was burned, his half-sister taken, and his father killed. Reginald Birch, a family friend, revealed he was a Templar and offered to help.
|-
 
![[Hatchet]]
Years passed and Haytham became a ruthless and efficient killer for the Templars. He was sent to the colonies to establish order and find a crucial First Civilization site. He secured the assistance of Kanien'kehá:ka natives by freeing several captives, including Ziio, with whom he had an ill-fated but passionate affair.
|16380
 
|8190
When Haytham found his sister, she revealed that the Templars were behind the attack on his home. Edward had been an Assassin, and Birch had him killed for his secrets. Once Birch was dead, Haytham returned to his role, disillusioned by Templar corruption.
|After [[Prélude to Rebellion]]
 
|-
Haytham wanted to control the growing American Revolution, but the half-native Assassin Connor sabotaged his efforts. Haytham realized Connor was his son with Ziio, and while he tried to find common ground, he knew reconciliation was impossible. Haytham fell to his son's Hidden Blade.

Aveline de Grandpré
|
 
|-
Aveline de Grandpré, a charming and determined Assassin, operated in the complex world of colonial Louisiana.
![[Kuba]]
 
|
Aveline was the illegitimate child of a French merchant and an African slave. Shortly after her father married Madeleine de L'Isle to further his business, her mother vanished mysteriously. Her unique upbringing let her grow into a social chameleon who could take on any guise from slave to lady.
|
 
|
At first, Aveline was an obedient disciple of her Mentor Agaté. When she discovered a Templar plot to send Louisiana slaves to Mexico to dig for ancient artifacts, she investigated against her Mentor's will and found her mother there. She also learned about a high-ranking Templar called “The Company Man”. She sought “him” for years, even enlisting the aid of the American Assassin Connor, only to learn that “he” was Madeleine.
|-
 
![[Machete (Liberation)|Machete]]
When she tried to warn Agaté, he doubted Aveline's loyalties and his despair led him to suicide. Aveline then joined the Templars, a final ruse to destroy them from the inside. She assassinated her stepmother and kept a crucial artifact from Templar hands.

Connor Kenway

Ratonhnhaké:ton (1756-unknown), also called Connor, was an Assassin who struggled with the ideals of liberty and justice, fighting for a cause that ultimately did not embrace him.
|N/A
 
|N/A
Connor was the son of a Kanien'kehá:ka mother, Kaniehtí:io, and an English Templar father, Haytham Kenway. Their village burned during the Seven Years' War, killing his mother when he was still a child.
|Acquired during [[A Slave in Trouble]]
 
|-
Connor's deep-rooted anger was channelled when a Piece of Eden granted him a vision. He was told to seek out the sign of the Assassins, which he found on the home of Achilles, a former Mentor. Achilles reluctantly trained the young man before sending him out to face the Templars, who planned to control North America and exploit ancient technology there.
![[Double-Barreled Pistol]]
 
|10000
As an Assassin, Connor aided the Patriots and specifically George Washington, the figurehead of the growing American Revolution. He admired their desire for liberty and their opposition to Templar aims, but learned they were destroying his people. Despite his misgivings, he lent his support to such acts as the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of the Chesapeake. He assassinated Templar leaders, including his father. In the end, Connor knew he had made the Revolution a success, but that his people would not enjoy its benefits.

Nikolai Orelov
![[Queen Anne's Pistol|Dual Pistols]]
 
|20000
Nikolai Orelov was a working-class Assassin caught up in causes beyond his control that ultimately cost him his family and life.
|10000
 
|After [[Prélude to Rebellion]]
Trained by his father, Nikolai reluctantly undertook a mission to kill Tsar Alexander III, who was in possession of a powerful artifact called the Staff of Eden. Later, the Assassins learned that Templars were experimenting on the Staff and sent Nikolai and a team to destroy it. Their ally Nikola Tesla switched on an electrical weapon early, triggering the Tunguska Event and killing everyone present but Nikolai.
|-
 
![[Dueling Pistol]]
During the Russian Revolution, Nikolai became obsessed with the Staff, finally finding a fragment in Rasputin's grave. Considering his duty done, he fled with his wife and daughter to America. But they were deported during the Red Scare, leaving Nikolai to raise their newborn son Innokenti.
|
 
|
Nikolai and his son lived alone in the woods until the Brotherhood tracked them down, demanding that he return. He refused and killed the Assassins with his son's help, eventually sacrificing himself to let Innokenti escape. Daniel Cross, Templar sleeper agent, was Nikolai's descendant.

William Miles
|
 
|
Cold and calculating, William Miles took over what was left of the modern day Brotherhood and sacrificed everything to save the world.
|
 
|-
William was born in 1948, and spent much of his early life working with Assassin cells around the world. By the 1980s, he settled in a compound known as “The Farm,” where he trained recruits, including Clay Kaczmarek, Lucy Stillman, and his own son, Desmond.
![[Pocket Pistol (Liberation)|Pocket Pistol]]
 
|20000
In 2000, the Templars eradicated a vast majority of the Brotherhood in an event known as “The Great Purge.” William became the de facto leader of the few Assassin cells that remained.
|10000
 
|[[The Loas Guide You]]
In 2003, Desmond rebelled and ran away. He resurfaced in 2012, when he was abducted by Abstergo and forced into the Animus Project, attempting to locate an Apple of Eden. William led the rescue effort and brought Desmond to New York. Father and son, along with Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane, found a First Civilization temple, and worked together to prevent a prophesied global catastrophe. Saving the world came at a high cost: Desmond died, and the Precursor entity known as Juno was released.
|-
 
![[Queen Anne's Pistol]]
Grieving, William retreated from the Assassins, handing off leadership to his friend Gavin Banks, along with a coded journal that contained many of his secrets. One year later, William has returned to the fight, but his motivations remain as elusive as ever.

Desmond Miles
|}
 
An Assassin who initially rejected his origins, Desmond Miles embraced his destiny and saved the world.
 
Desmond was raised on a remote compound, but rebelled against his father's stifling control and ran away. The Templars found and kidnapped him, putting him into the Animus to relive the genetic memories of his ancestor Altaïr and find them a powerful artifact called the Apple of Eden.
 
He was eventually rescued by Assassins, but by then, he had absorbed Altaïr's wisdom through the Bleeding Effect. Despite the dangers, he continued his research so he could defeat the Templars. Through another ancestor, Ezio, Desmond learned the physical skills of the Assassins. Using these new abilities, he led his team to an Apple, but was possessed by an ancient being who drove him to stab one of his allies. Falling into a coma, Desmond was placed in the Animus to restore his mind.
 
After recovering, Desmond relived the memories of two more ancestors: Haytham, a Templar, and Connor, an Assassin. Through them he accessed the Grand Temple, a site of great power where he sacrificed himself to save humanity from a global catastrophe.

Gavin Banks
 
Gavin Banks is a long-time member of the Assassin Brotherhood who has worked with cells all over the world. Gavin was mentored in Japan by Kenichi Mochizuki, and has engaged in Assassin missions in Australia, Brazil, and America.
 
Gavin is an old friend of the Assassin leader William Miles. When William went underground to mourn the loss of his son Desmond, he gave Gavin his journal, which contained everything he knew about the modern-day Brotherhood, albeit in coded puzzles. As the new leader, Gavin's mission was to rebuild the Assassins, who had struggled since the “Great Purge” of 2000.
 
Gavin travels the world with his team, aboard a ship called the Altair II, which serves as a mobile headquarters for the Brotherhood. Gavin's crew includes:
 
*    Susan Drayton, captain of the ship
*    Eric Cooper, navigator
*    Emmanuel Barraza, armorer
*    Emmett Leary, computer expert
*    Dr. Stephanie Chiu, ship's medic
*    Nodar Ninidze, Chief Steward
*    Akaki Ninidze, Chief engineer
*    Galina Voronina, Assassin enforcer

The Animus
 
The Animus was created by Abstergo Industries using the research of Dr. Warren Vidic, the world's leading authority on genetic memory. Although the Animus is an Abstergo invention, a version of the device has also been developed by the Assassin Brotherhood.
 
Since the creation of Animus technology in 1980, Abstergo has used it on at least 17 test subjects, and the machine itself has gone through several iterations. By 2002, they began to produce Animi in greater numbers, and large facilities were set up in their Philadelphia and Rome locations. Abstergo Industries created the Animi Training Program to train its Templar soldiers in combat.
 
At first, the Animus could only display an individual's personal genetic history. However, as the technology progressed, Abstergo developed the Data Dump Scanner, which allowed an individual to relive the memories of other people's genetic history. It was first used in Project Legacy, an initiative designed to obtain new information on Assassins and Pieces of Eden.
 
In 2012, Dr. Vidic used the Animus in an attempt to find an Apple of Eden to complete the Eye-Abstergo satellite project. When Subject 16 committed suicide, driven insane by the Bleeding Effect (a result of overexposure to the device), the Lineage Research and Acquisition Division delivered Subject 17, a man named Desmond Miles. Although Desmond was able to locate an Apple of Eden, he escaped with help from the Assassins and later returned to kill Vidic.
 
In 2012, Abstergo Entertainment used the technology to create interactive historical simulations, beginning with Liberation. Although Abstergo markets its virtual features as entertainment products, it monitors the resulting user data in a never-ending search for Pieces of Eden.

Vials were artifacts designed by the First Civilization. When used in conjunction with a Crystal Skull, they created a powerful spying tool.

The Skull was the centerpiece of a First Civilization sanctuary near Tulum. A Mayan temple was built over the site, and Mayan Assassins lived in a nearby village to protect it. A legendary figure called the Sage was rumored to be the only person who could open the sanctuary and control its security system. One known incarnation of this Sage was the pirate Bartholomew Roberts, and another was an Abstergo employee known only as “John from IT”.

The artifacts changed hands several times during the early eighteenth century. For a time, Bartholomew Roberts held the skull itself, making him the most effective pirate in history. Edward Kenway recaptured the skull and returned it to the sanctuary. However, by this time the collection of Vials stored within had gone missing. The present location of the sanctuary, Crystal Skull, and Vials are unknown but are the focus of intensive searches from both the Assassins and Templars.

The Hidden Blade is a compact device that has become the signature weapon of the Assassin Brotherhood. Its small blade is designed to quickly extend or retract and remain hidden on the underside of the bearer's forearm.

The first recorded use of the Hidden Blade was the assassination of Xerses I of Persia by an Assassin known as Darius. From that moment, it became an important part of the Assassin's arsenal, and by the Middle Ages, its use became very ritualistic, and using a hidden blade required one to sever the ring finger on their left hand. The legendary Mentor of the Levantine Brotherhood, Altair ibn-La'Ahad, made several improvements to the design of the weapon, removing the need for the severed finger, and adding the means to deliver poison and a projectile system.

The Ottoman Brotherhood refined the concept into the Hook Blade, which allowed the Assassins to scale walls at a much faster rate. Despite considerable advancements in weapon technology, modern-day Assassins still use the Hidden Blade. Its compact, versatile design still makes it an invaluable tool for the Brotherhood.

The First Civilization, a race of advanced beings that predated humans, left traces of their technology scattered throughout the world. Among the Assassin Brotherhood and Templar Order, these relics are referred to as "Pieced of Eden." The most coveted of these are the Apples of Eden, versatile tools that functioned as stores of First Civilization knowledge, but were primarily used as devices of control.
===Animus memory notes===
Always at the end of the current memory
*Firm in her belief and confident that she can put an end to the machinations of her enemies, Aveline disobeys Agaté and boards a slave ship bound to an unknown location. This decision further strays their relationship.
*With de Ferrer dead and the slave colony free, Aveline travels back to New Orleans. Upon her return, she finds a world very different than the one she had left. Yet, the identity of the Company Man remains a mystery.
[@#]Deciphering clues left behind by her long lost mother lead Aveline to a cenote's entrance where her treasure hunt begins.
[@#]After discovering a plot to force her mentor out of hiding, Aveline journeys to the bayou, determined to win back Agaté's trust and refusing to give up on the Brotherhood.
[@#]The documents found aboard the Spanish ship contained orders to travel to Chichen Itza and reclaim the worksite. Fearing for her mother's safety – and perhaps hoping to find the second half of the Prophecy Disk – Aveline returns to Chichen Itza.
[@#]Having secured the second part of the Prophecy Disk, Aveline travels back to New Orleans to continue her search for Vázquez, the man she believes is the Company Man.
[@#]Despite her father's ill health, Aveline continues her search for the man called Vázquez.
[@#]George Davidson gave just enough clues as to the identity of the Company Man. It is with a heavy heart that Aveline returns home.
[@#]Following a confrontation with the Company Man, Madeleine de L'Isle – her beloved stepmother – Aveline finds herself confused and alone. She journeys to the bayou to seek Agaté's counsel, and test her own faith in the Brotherhood.
[@#]Agaté's failure as an Assassin and his lack of trust in Aveline leaves her completely adrift. She returns to Madeleine, ready to embrace her stepmother’s cause.


Those Who Came Before originally created the Apples as a means of ensuring humanity's subservience by controlling the thoughts, emotions, and behavior of their human servants. The genetic structure of the human race was specifically designed to respond to the Apple's power. Ironically, it also led to a slave revolt, as two humans known as Adam and Eve retrieved an Apple and used it to spark a human rebellion against their masters.
==CST==
*[[Dwarven Defender]]
*[[Wondrous Set]]


Centuries later, the power of the Apples to control the minds of men was recognized by the Templar Order, who began a hunt for the Apples and other Pieces of Eden that continues to this day. An Apple of Eden was to be the centerpiece of the Eye-Abstergo satellite, a Templar plan to use an array of satellites to control theEarth. At least five Apples of Eden are known to exist, and there may be more still hidden in the world.

As requested, I am keeping you abreast of Dr. Pauling's latest findings. Please find an article slated for PNAS (enclosed) which proposes a structural model for deoxyribonucleic acid.

I will spare you the details but you will find his triple-helix model, made of three intertwined strands of DNA, to be highly elegant. It rivals his earlier work on protein structure.

I believe Abstergo Chemicals should pay special attention to the evolution of DNA science as it will likely unlock the very secrets of life. Please note I would be more than willing to play a more direct role to encourage Dr. Pauling's research efforts if you wish me to.

We're sequencing whole genomes in a matter of weeks now. We're under phenomenal pressure to reduce delays further and ship everything to this man Vidic. We truly are nothing more than an assembly line at this point. What a waste.
I'm not stupid you know, even this old man has realized our masters are after something of utmost importance hidden in the Human genome. They spare no expense to provide my kids with the most advanced technology to increase productivity.
Like everyone here, I've heard the most preposterous rumours about Vidic's Animus project, that memories of someone's ancestors are encoded in one's genes. That Abstergo believes that claptrap explains why so many millions of dollars keep pouring in here. It just makes no sense!
And to top it off, I never found another sample with triple-helix DNA. My life's obsession was all for naught.

Edward James Kenway was born on 10 March 1693 in Swansea. His father was Bernard Kenway of Manchester and his mother was Linette Hopkins of Cardiff. At the age of ten, the Kenway family moved to a farm just outside of Bristol. Although his parents were proud of their modest, but honest lifestyle, the move affected Edward's mood and he became more and more rebellious. By the age of 16, Edward spent as much time away from the farm as possible, getting into trouble in the excitement of the city and its rough company.

Both men were bound for Havana, and Edward was soon behind the wheel of Stede's schooner. The merchant told Edward that he owned a small plantation and made a living selling sugar cane, molasses, and rum, and wondered if he would attract attention from pirates.

For his eighth birthday, Haytham's family took him to White's Chocolate House for cake and hot chocolate. Haytham met his father's property manager, Reginald Birch, who made a show of courting his half-sister Jenny. As they left White's, the group was accosted by aggressive beggars.

One of the beggars broke through the crowd and lunged at Tessa and Edward sprang forward to defend her. Haytham was surprised to see that his father carried a sword hidden in his cane, however, it remained sheathed. His father shoved the beggar into Reginald who threw the attacker to the ground and pulled a knife on him. Edward demanded that the beggar be spared and threatened to end his business associations with Reginald if he did not comply, and the beggar was reluctantly spared.

She brought fighters from the many tribes that Braddock had driven from their lands: the Abenaki, the Lenape and the Shawnee. Haytham expressed thanks for the help, but emphasized that they couldn't just destroy the expedition; Braddock himself had to be killed so he could not launch another.
 
Haytham disguised himself as one of Braddock's soldiers and infiltrated the line of march. He drew a pistol on Braddock, but before he could pull the trigger, French and Native troops launched an attack on the convoy.
 
Charles Lee saved the disguised Haytham from accidently being killed by his allies.
Braddock fled into the woods, and Haytham gave chase. George Washington came to Braddock's aid and pointed his gun at Haytham, but Kaniehti:io appeared and put a dagger to Washington's throat. Haytham persued Braddock deeper into the woods, where he killed him and took his Templar ring. With his dying breath, Braddock insisted the world would be a better place if they were allowed to apply the sword more liberally.
Although Haytham wanted to watch Edward die, he was forced to hide, and could only watch as George Washington and his men recovered the dying General Braddock and took him away.

Fort George // Atlantic Ocean // 1781-09-16
A Dysfunctional Family
 
Connor had all but eliminated the Templars from the colonies and was making his way to Fort George, searching for Charles Lee.
 
Meanwhile, Haytham knew his life would come down to one last stand. Believing Lee was the best hope for the Templars, he gave him the First Civilisation amulet and helped his protege escape. Thus resigned, Haytham stayed behind to confront his son.
 
Connor attempted to reach out to his father, and end the cycle of violence between Assassins and Templars. However, Haytham decided that reconciliation was impossible and that one of them had to die. A brutal battle ensued, and Haytham died by Connor's Hidden Blade. Before dying, he admitted he was proud of his son's accomplishments, but told Connor he'd have been better off killing him the first time he had the chance. After the fight, Connor found his father's journal, which brought him some understanding, but also many regrets.

Aveline frequently dreamt of her long lost mother. One night, after a particularly disturbing nightmare, she was woken by Madeleine de L'Isle, her stepmother. Wondering about her mother's fate and too wired to sleep, she waited for Madeleine to leave, donned her Assassin outfit, and went to the pigeon coop that served as a dead drop for Assassin messages.

A Slave in Trouble
==Echoes of Shadows==
<!--
==Locations==
===[[Iga]]===
Iga is a small province surrounded by mountains in central Japan. It's just a little bit to the southeast of the capital of Kyoto. It's surrounded by the lands of Nobunaga and those loyal to him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


In order to find out more about missing slaves at a nearby plantation, Aveline went to a special dressing chamber that had been prepared for her and dressed herself as a slave. There she received further intelligence that a delivery was scheduled for the plantation, so she hid herself in a wagon to gain access to the grounds.
And what are the main factors that lead up to kind of open war with Iga? Like I said, there's that independence that isn't particularly endearing to Nobunaga. He wants everything under his control, but they're not really necessarily a threat militarily, per se, to him. So for most of the time that he's establishing his hegemony, he is concentrated elsewhere. Iga at this time is ruled by an independent league or ikki that did not recognize any daimyo's hegemony and even gone so far as to expel the military governor of the province that had been appointed by the Ashkaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Once inside the plantation, Aveline blended with the other slaves to avoid attention from the guards. She found a slave who told her that the slaves were not escaping, but were being taken, the most recent being his sister, Thérèse.
it's ringed by mountains. It's very mountainous internally as well, but there's a ring of mountains around it that prevents easy access to it. It's very easily defensible. And there's six main passes, several on the eastern side, a couple into the north and then a couple on the western side through which if you're going to bring an army, you have to go through one of those passes in order to get there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Aveline used her Eagle Vision to track Thérèse's movements and found the young, pregnant slave in a nearby barn. She learned that slaves were being treated fairly by the owner, but that his son was responsible for kidnapping – and possibly murdering – several slaves.
One of the things that the Iga warriors did was often hire themselves out as contractors to other entities would be they temples or be they other daimyo factions and whatever. So in the 1540s, we have reports of Igamono or men of Iga being hired to do things like espionage or sabotage of the enemy castles. [...] And they are capable militarily. Many of them are experienced hunters and trackers through the mountains. They have the kind of outdoor living skills we might attribute to military specialties of today like commandos or something like that. So while they weren't necessarily trying to take over control, they did also have a military presence outside of their province because they could be hired or requested to assist with campaigns elsewhere.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


The two women were discovered and attacked, forcing Aveline to kill the owner's son and his men. Aveline then guided Thérèse to safety.
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>

The Safe House
It is now a domain administered by one of Nobunaga's retainers. It would go on to be a domain held by a Daimyo underneath the Edo Period shogun of the Tokukawa.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Having no other recourse, Aveline brought Thérèse – a pregnant slave she had liberated – to her family mansion, where her worried stepmother, Madeleine de L'Isle, was waiting for her.
===[[Nagasaki]]===
he discovered that Nagasaki had been raised up into this great port by the Jesuits who had effectively been given Nagasaki by a local warlord so the extraordinary influence that a foreign power preaching of foreign religion had in Kyushu I think upset Hideyoshi very much<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Aveline lied to her about the exact circumstances of her meeting with Thérèse, but asked for her help in securing the slave's freedom. Although Madeleine was annoyed with Aveline's impulsiveness at bringing a slave to their mansion, she agreed to help.
in the end anyway the Japanese will only deal when we're thinking about European powers with the Dutch and only at this little artificial island called Dejima just a few feet worth of wooden bridge off the coast of Nagasaki<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


While Madeline saw to Thérèse's medical needs, she ordered Aveline into town to fetch her new traveling clothes. When she returned home, she found her parents eating lunch. After her father Philippe excused himself from the table, Madeleine assured Aveline that she had taken care of Thérèse and that she would be safe. She also offered to help should similar situations arise in the future.
Gaspar Vilela is one who stands out. He was a very keen propagator of the Christian faith, and he could convert some warlords to Christianity. One of them was Omura Sumitada, who eventually would give a port to the Jesuits, which was called Nagasaki.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>

Taking Care of Business
===[[Kyoto]]===
So Kyoto is the absolute heart of Japan, it's exactly in the middle. And geomantically, let's go to geomantics, it's a perfectly placed to be the capital city, which is what it was for a thousand years. It's got mountains behind it on three sides, it's got the sea in front, it's got two rivers running through, it fulfils all the necessary requirements of Feng Shui to be the perfect place for capital<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


Aveline went to her father's warehouse to meet Gérald Blanc. There, she spied on a conversation between him and her father, Philippe, who was frustrated over shipments disappearing. Gérald insisted on investigating the matter.
it was created as capital city. Emperor Kamu, who was the greatest emperor in Japanese history, he was the Charlemagne of Japan. And before his time, the capital had been in Nara, but it was kind of taken over by the Buddhist priests. [...] There were all sorts of scandals to do with these Buddhist clergy. And then he, Emperor Kamu, founded a capital in Nagoka, which is near Nara. And that one, there was an uprising, people got killed, there were ghosts, obviously not going to be any good as the capital. So he then set out on a supposed hunting trip with his geomancers to find the perfect place. People were not particularly concerned with practical considerations, they were concerned with where it would be auspicious. And so he settled on Kyoto as the place to be his capital. And he then had it built, and that was an enormous job to build it. And it was in 794 that he was an enormous entourage of his attendants and his army and everybody else arrived by Palanquin in Kyoto, in the Imperial Palace there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline stealthily followed Gérald through the city, until he met with a supplier, Monsieur de Saint-Maxent. De Saint-Maxent was furious that his shipments were being stolen from him, and blamed the captain of his supply ship, suggesting that he was corrupt and taking bribes.
And there were many great Zen prelates who set themselves up in Kyoto. So if you go to Kyoto, it's absolutely full of Zen temples and other temples too, but I would say primarily Zen temples. The Zen priests had it linked with China and they were able to facilitate trade with China, to bring back ideas, bring back goods. So the Zen church became very wealthy as well as being very influential.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline took the initiative, located the ship in question, and bribed the men guarding it. Once onboard, she charmed Captain Carlos Dominguez, and discovered that he had diverted de Saint-Maxent's shipment to another buyer. While Dominguez was distracted, Aveline stole some of his paperwork and discovered that the goods were being kept in two nearby warehouses.
These two lords, I think it was the Hashimoto's and the Yamunas, have been itching to fight for a long time, and they fought for 10 years. It's said that they destroyed the whole of Kyoto. That's not quite true. They destroyed the upper class part of Kyoto. So 10 years of fighting included looting, arson, and all these other things. But this mainly happened. This was the temples. This was the palaces. That lot got destroyed. Meanwhile, the shogun who lived at that point was a guy called Yoshimasa, who was living during the end of the 15th century. And he retired. He was very interested in the arts, and he was not remotely interested in fighting. And he kept well out of this fighting. And he went off to the east of the city, and there he built a fabulous pavilion, the silver pavilion. And there he carried on having a life of leisure and art with his friends. While all this was going on in Kyoto, his pavilion was facing away from the city, so it didn't have to see it was burning. And it was facing towards the lovely mountains on the east. And he was, again, an amazing patron of the arts. And under him, ink painting flourished, pottery flourished, every possible art form. Oh, linked verse became very important. So the war came to an end.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

New Orleans // New France // 1765-01-29


Her Father's Troubles
The part of the city that had not burnt down was the part where the merchants and the artisans were, because they were poor chaps. And so nobody bothered with looting them, but they weren't that poor. So they were actually supplying and selling stuff to both sides in this war and getting richer. And the end of the Onin war, this is the Onin war, everything had sort of fallen apart, because Kyoto was in such a state of devastation.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline searched the docks for the two warehouses that contained the goods stolen from her father's business partner, Monsieur de Saint-Maxent. She made her way past the guards and located the right crates using her Eagle Vision.
So it didn't take as long as it would have taken to rebuild London, to rebuild Kyoto. It didn't take that long. So it could be rebuilt pretty quickly. And it happened again and again in the history of Kyoto, and also in the history of Edo, which was the city that later became Tokyo. Time and time again they were burnt down. So Kyoto was back on its feet quite quickly, but it was just known to be the capital. The name Kyoto means capital city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline returned to Monsieur de Saint-Maxent to give him the good news about the recovered cargo, and he promised that her father would receive a considerable discount as thanks.
So in the Heian period, it was laid out on a grid. Like a chessboard with equal sized square areas. And then it had long boulevards going down the middle. It had small lanes going off to the sides. It had the Emperor's Palace up at the top with beautiful green roofs, red columns. Very spectacular. You could see the Emperor's Palace wherever you were.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
|-|

New Orleans // New France // 1765-02-04


The Key to the Problem
Hideyoshi sort of basically laid out Kyoto as it is now. He cut those squares in half. So you have rectangular blocks rather than square blocks. He also built a wall around the outside of the city, which isn't there anymore, but he had that built. He also built these glorious palaces. So you would have very glorious palaces on the main boulevards, which again are still always in like a chess board laid out like a grid. And you'd also have glorious temples, probably not radically different in appearance from glorious palaces. And then you'd have the whole merchant's area, which would be tiny little lanes of small dark houses with bamboo blinds outside, very nice houses, which still exist. If you go to Kyoto, you can go down these little lanes. They're so thin that you have to walk down or you just go down on a bicycle or something. They're sort of dark wood houses, steep, steep stairs, several floors. I think they're called eel lanes because they're like eels. They're kind of long and thin like eels. And then you could see from the streets of Kyoto, you could see the mountains to the east, which is where Yoshimasa was looking when Kyoto was burning down behind him. You could see the mountains to the north. You could see the mountain to the northwest, which is always the unlucky direction, where there was a huge complex of temples on the top and still is. And you could also see Arashiyama to the west, which is where the Flying Dragon Temple was and lots of other beautiful temples and bamboo crows. So you always could see those all around.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline returned to the Grandpré Warehouse in time to see Gérald deliver the news about the recovered shipments to her father Philippe. After the elder de Grandpré took his leave, the two Assassins discussed the documents that Aveline had stolen from Captain Dominguez. They contained the name Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer, a known Templar.
Then you have down one side of the city is the River Kamo. And you've got the River Kamo dividing the city from the eastern mountains. And at the foot of the eastern mountain is an area of flat land, which became a big area of carnival. So if you wanted to have fun, you go there. So when you're having a respectable life and your wife and your family and everything else are there, you stay away from the mountains. But you could also cross the bridge to this area of carnival where there would be some more wrestling. There'd be jugglers, there'd be theater, and there would be ladies of pleasure, lots of ladies of pleasure.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Gérald did not know de Ferrer's purpose in Louisiana, but he received word that he would be attending a social event at the Governor's mansion later that evening. Aveline agreed to enter the mansion discretely. Gérald mentioned that a house near the mansion was for sale, which would provide an ideal spot for a dressing chamber where she could switch between guises.
And at various times, as you're within Hideyoshi's reign, a particular man whose name was Saburoemon Hara, he said to Hideyoshi, why don't I gather together these ladies of pleasure? Who are a little bit chaotic because it's good to have a bit of order. There's no issue with morality about this, it's to do with orderliness. So he gathered them into particular places which became pleasure quarters, which of course were number one, there was a wall around them, so you could keep an eye on what went on because there were bad guys that went there as well as good guys. Number two, you could tax them. And so these became very famous pleasure quarters. There's one in Kyoto [Shimabara, Kyoto], there's very famous one in Edo, which is now Tokyo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline scouted the governor's mansion and followed a butler to a meeting with a man who would supply food for the event. From him, she stole a key that would give her access to the kitchen near the south entrance of the Governor's mansion.
So Kyoto somehow had a resurgence. It was also the center of the geisha, which is quite important, actually. It re-created itself as a center of traditional culture. So Tokyo is a big modern city. And as you know, Kyoto did not get bombed in World War II because it's such a center of traditional culture. It's got so much. And also it's not entirely, but it's largely a wooden city. And there was also a law was passed, which again, I think has been broken. But there are laws about the height of buildings you can build in Kyoto. You're not supposed to build very tall buildings. So it's mainly a low rise city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

New Orleans // New France // 1765-02-04


The Colony's Good
And then in Kyoto, there is an Emperor and has been residing all the time. So the Kyoto people like residents will be more aware of what's happening around the courtiers and so on. [...] And then medieval Japan as well, this Kamakura headquarters of the samurai has been moved and taken by a different family. And the samurai headquarters became the Kyoto as well. So in Kyoto, the dual structure of this courtiers and Emperor's house and the Shogunate. So the Kyoto people will be really subject to what political moves are. But other people like say around outside of Kyoto, they will be happily living in their regions and then they will have those like farming going on and they will have rather stable time so they could enjoy.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 08">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 8: How To Fit In: Feudal Japan</ref>


Aveline entered the mansion of the French governor of New Orleans, Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie. She made her way to his office and spied on a conversation between the French governor and the Spanish Templar Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer. They were discussing plans to send slave labor from Louisiana to a Templar work site in exchange for d'Abbadie remaining governor of the colony.
===[[Nara]]===
And before his time, the capital had been in Nara, but it was kind of taken over by the Buddhist priests. [...] There were all sorts of scandals to do with these Buddhist clergy. And then he, Emperor Kanmu, founded a capital in Nagoka, which is near Nara.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


De Ferrer left and Aveline killed d'Abbadie. As he lay dying, the Governor confessed that he did not regret his deal with the Templars, as he desired nothing more than to keep the colony under French control.
There were the different sects of Buddhism arrived in Japan at different times. And the first sect grew up in Nara, as I said, and caused trouble. And that stayed in Nara. The whole point was to leave those priests behind in Nara and move to Kyoto.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline asked about de Ferrer's plans and d'Abbadie told her that he knew nothing of the Templar plans, only that he was to provide them with slaves and vagrants for labor.
===[[Tokyo]]===
So it didn't take as long as it would have taken to rebuild London, to rebuild Kyoto. It didn't take that long. So it could be rebuilt pretty quickly. And it happened again and again in the history of Kyoto, and also in the history of Edo, which was the city that later became Tokyo. Time and time again they were burnt down. So Kyoto was back on its feet quite quickly, but it was just known to be the capital. The name Kyoto means capital city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


Aveline escaped from the mansion.
And so they [Imperial side of Boshin War] marched up, they took Edo castle. And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

New Orleans // New France // 1765-02-05


At the Pub
==Timeline==
===[[Tenshō Iga War]] [1579-1581]===
We're at the end of the Sengoku period where Oda Nobunaga is in charge and extending his influence across the land. Specifically the conflict takes place with one invasion in 1579 and then another invasion in 1581.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


Aveline found a member of Dominguez's crew who informed her that the Captain could be found at the pub. She made her way across town and found Dominguez, who was quite drunk. Aveline asked him about his connection to de Ferrer, and Dominguez admitted that he transported goods to and from New Orleans, but did not know anything more.
And what are the main factors that lead up to kind of open war with Iga? Like I said, there's that independence that isn't particularly endearing to Nobunaga. He wants everything under his control, but they're not really necessarily a threat militarily, per se, to him. So for most of the time that he's establishing his hegemony, he is concentrated elsewhere. Iga at this time is ruled by an independent league or ikki that did not recognize any daimyo's hegemony and even gone so far as to expel the military governor of the province that had been appointed by the Ashkaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Aveline returned to her father's mansion. Philippe thanked Aveline for her help in sorting out the family's business affairs and gave her a page of her mother Jeanne's diary.
Oda Nobukatsu, was in charge of the province next to it and was looking to kind of establish his own reputation, spread his wings a little bit. And so here we have Iga province next to him, a place where he can launch an invasion, take it over. It's small. How hard could it be, right? Be an easy victory. And it turns out not to be.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>

Louisiana Bayou // New France // 1765


The Laos Guide You
Nobukatsu, Nobunaga's second son, takes that [Iga's expulsion of their military governor] as an excuse of, oh, see, they're not observing the proper order of things. They're not part of the structure. So he decides of his own accord that he's going to expand his domain into Iga without permission from his father. Part of this is ego driven. He wants to prove to his father that he can operate on his own and so forth. So in 1578, he dispatches one of his generals, man by the name of Takigawa Kazumasu, to build a castle just across the Iga border that they're going to use as a staging point for a future invasion. Well, the warriors of Iga are alerted to this and realize what this means. So they decide to attack and destroy it, which they do in November of 1578. Takigawa is taken completely by surprise. The castle is burned. Takigawa and his small force is forced to retreat. Obviously, they cease work on the castle and retreat back to Issei after losing a second battle where they tried to retake the ground.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Aveline was summoned to the Louisiana Bayou by her mentor Agaté. The Templar's sudden activity unnerved him, so he retreated further into the swamp, and challenged Aveline to use her gifts to find him. She navigated through the Bayou and uncovered the clues her mentor had left her and located his new hideout.
So the following year in October, he decides he's going to launch a much larger invasion. So he gathers around a little over 10,000 men and invades Iga Province through three of those passes that I mentioned. In his main body, he has 8,000 men going through the northernmost pass at Nagano. And then he has a group of 1,500 men through one pass and 1,300 through another pass, these two passes to the south. But again, the Iga forces, speaking to their ability to collect intelligence and know what the enemy is doing, are ready and waiting at these narrow sites to ambush Nobukatsu's forces, which they do. They use their skill in guerrilla tactics and their local knowledge of the terrain. They inflict heavy losses against Nobukatsu's forces, again forcing him to retreat in a humiliating defeat.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>

Louisiana Bayou // New France // 1765


The False Mackandal
But in 1581, he comes back and we have the main invasion of the Tenshō Iga War. [...] The key moment of failure is when Nobunaga decides to get serious and invade Iga with more of a plan than his son had.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Aveline joined her mentor Agaté at his new hideout. He informed her that a man was posing as his deceased mentor François Mackandal, and that this imposter was beginning to wield a dangerous influence in the Bayou. Agaté wanted Aveline to discover the False Mackandal's true identity and motivations.
It was not a protracted war once Nobunaga decided to invade. Even Nobukatsu's invasion only lasted a day before he was turned back. The second larger invasion of 1581 lasts nine days. So unlike this, you know, protracted guerrilla war that we might have in our minds, it was really a quick invasion by Nobunaga quickly taking a couple of castles, receiving their submission and then everybody moves on with their lives.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Before Aveline left to track the imposter, Agaté gave her a blowpipe that once belonged to the real Mackandal, who was an expert in poisons. After some practice with her new weapon, Aveline felt ready to continue her mission.
To go into like the details, Nobunaga invades September 30th and it's a much larger scale different reports of the war, say he had somewhere between 40,000 or 60,000 troops. And the key that he really does is not only numbers, but it's the fact that he owns all the territory surrounding Iga. So he's able to send army forces that are equivalent largely to the size of the force that his son had, right, in 1579. But he can send that from six different sides. And this means that the Iga ikki cannot concentrate their forces to prevent any of these invasions coming in from any one pass. Whereas, you know, in 1579, they only defend three passes from one direction. Now it's six passes coming from all directions, including their neighbors to the north in Koka.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>

Meet the Smugglers
So had the assistance of the Koka specialists in guerrilla operations and warfare to advise and assist him. And this is probably where we get a lot of the imagery of this rivalry between Iga and Koka because Koka did assist Nobunaga in his invasion. He also allegedly had some Iga members who offered to him to help show him through the passes and give him that advantage.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Agaté revealed that the False Mackandal was gaining followers and that they were attempting to take over smuggling operations in the Bayou, but their final goals remained unclear. He suggested that Aveline contact a smuggler named Élise Lafleur, who was well versed in the swamp's underworld.
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Aveline crossed the Bayou and located the Smuggler's Hideout. She arrived to see some of the False Mackandal's followers threaten a defiant Élise Lafleur. Aveline silently killed some of them before joining the fight in a more public manner.
===[[Honnō-ji incident]] [1582]===
By the time that he died in the 1580s as a result of treachery on the part of some of his own men, actually, he had controlled most of Japan's main island of Honshu and he was on the verge of going to its second biggest island, Kyushu, down south. He actually at that point looked unstoppable.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>


Élise and her partner Roussillon demanded to know Aveline's identity and purpose. Aveline told her that she sought only to bring the False Mackandal to a final end and offered to help restore the smuggler's control over the Bayou in exchange for their help uncovering their camps spread out through the swamp.
he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>

A Faithful Acolyte
so immediately he [Toyotomi Hideyoshi] rushes from where he's been fighting over to take care of the traitors and he brings the traitors head back to Kyoto to effectively lay at the feet of Oda Nobunaga's body to say here we are you know I've taken care of this for you and Hideyoshi really then becomes the inheritor I think of this project to try to unify Japan and his major next step one of the steps that Oda Nobunaga would have taken had he lived was to attack Kyushu<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Aveline met Élise in the swamp and they traveled by canoe towards one of the camps controlled by the False Mackandal. Élise mentioned that she started to have trouble with the imposter's men at the same time the new Spanish governor arrived.
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmarutook his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head. And the supposed last order is Yasuke save my head. Yasuke runs with the head to Nobunaga's son, who is probably about five to ten minutes walk away, very close, in a different temple. So about to be attacked. Also just putting up the defenses for a last ditch stand. Of course, that doesn't last very long. He's dead within the hour or so. And all we know from the Jesuit source, there are no more Japanese sources, all we know from the Jesuit source is that Yasuke was there at the last. He was one of the few survivors. He was taken prisoner. He surrendered his sword. And he was then escorted to the Jesuit mission, which was again only five minutes walk away. This is a very small area of Kyoto where all this happens. The Jesuits give thanks to God for his deliverance.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


When they exited their canoe, the two women were attacked by an alligator. Aveline managed to kill the beast and claim its egg as a prize.
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>


Élise revealed that there were two bases, the first was near a wrecked ship, with the second one further along the river. Aveline killed all the followers in the first base. Inside the wrecked ship, she found a letter from the False Mackandal that talked about a "sacred ceremony" and his desire for more men to join his ranks.
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

The Second Camp
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline found the smuggler Élise near Mackandal's second camp. Élise spotted two of Mackandal's followers and recognized them as escaped slaves from San Danje, a shanty town located in the Bayou.
He [Nobunaga] had a very dramatic and spectacular assassination by one of his own men. It's an amazing story, but that happened in Kyoto. He was in a temple where it was his land. He thought he was absolutely fine. He didn't have that many guards, and one of his own generals turned against him. So he was killed there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


Élise decided to return to her base of operations but asked Aveline not to hurt the men from San Danje. The Assassin followed one of Mackandal's acolytes to a secluded area of the camp and killed him. She searched his body and found another letter from the False Mackandal which stated that the Voodoo ceremony was scheduled for the Eve of Saint John.
===[[Imjin War]] [1592-1598]===
Hideyoshi once he's taken Kyushu just a few years later launches invasions of Korea so he sends troops across including some of Christian warlords commanding them across to Korea wanting to use it almost as China's driveway if you think about the geography of it send these troops up through Korea take over the peninsula eventually invade and take over China and after that he also wanted to take over India as well<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Aveline returned to the Smuggler's Hideout and talked to Élise's business partner Roussillon. She knew when Mackandal's ceremony was going to take place, but not where. Roussillon suggested that she consult a witch doctor in San Danje. Élise had gone ahead to deliver supplies to him but had forgotten a small package. Roussillon assured the Assassin that by earning the witch doctor's trust, she would receive the secrets of the Bayou. He also asked to see her when her mission was complete, as he had some more work for her.
his Korean campaign goes badly wrong in the 1590s the Chinese finally put some men in the field and they push the Japanese troops all the way back down the Korean peninsula so it doesn't go anywhere except for poisoning relations with Korea for a very long time to come<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>

A Dark Influence
And then Hideyoshi asked him [Gaspar Coelho], I want to invade Korea. Then you provide two Portuguese ships to help me in this invasion. And if I conquer Korea, I will make it that there are a lot of churches being built. So Koelyo said, yes, I will do that for you. And I will make sure that we have two Portuguese ships, the Karak ships, as they were called by the English, gigantic ships. So Hideyoshi could very well use them for his invasion in Korea. And then he went a step further and he said, I will make sure that the Christian warlords in Kyushu will also support you. And I think at that moment that Hideyoshi, that there was a ring bell in his head, that the Christians, the Jesuits had too much influence in Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Aveline traveled to the Bayou shanty town called San Danje and met up with Élise and the witch doctor. She gave him the supplies provided by Roussillon. The Witch Doctor did not like the dark influence that Mackandal was spreading over the people of San Danje and offered to help in any way possible. He revealed that Mackandal was likely to be found on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain and that he was armed with a powerful poison. The witch doctor provided an antidote but warned that it would not be able to stop the poison, merely limit its damage. Aveline drank the antidote and decided to disguise herself as a slave to infiltrate the ceremony.
===[[Battle of Sekigahara]] [1600]===
|-|
great battles in Japanese history the battle of Sekigahara which happens in 1600 so you've got a couple of nervous years or a bit less than that after the death of Hideyoshi this council in place but people are wondering really whether it will stick and what happens instead I think is you get the buildup of two sides that take the form in the end of an eastern and a western army and Tokugawa Ieyasu was at the head of the eastern army and in the autumn of Sekigahara he wins out and really everything goes to him and shortly afterwards he has himself appointed shogun<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>

Eve of Saint John
he does this enormous reshuffling of territory in Japan I think it's the biggest reshuffling of territory in terms of who controls what in Japan's history so lots of the people who are on the losing side at the battle of Sekigahara either lose everything or their territory is drastically cut down or they're shipped off to another part of the country entirely perhaps all these things that are designed to damage their power<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Aveline, disguised as a slave, and Élise traveled to Lake Pontchartrain by canoe and arrived at the False Mackandal's camp, where they saw the imposter talking to the Templar Rafael Joaquin de Ferrer. The False Mackandal, otherwise known as the renegade Assassin Baptiste, had a plan to poison the nobles of New Orleans and avenge the slaves, fulfilling his late Mentor's ultimate goal, which in turn would see control of the river fall into Templar hands. De Ferrer promised that if the plan succeeded, Baptiste would be inducted into the Templar Order. After de Ferrer left, Mackandal began the ceremony.
===[[Siege of Osaka]] [1614-1615]===
Hideyori is still around and that really isn't taken care of until a very famous incident 1614 to 15 which is the siege of Osaka it's one of these events in Japanese history which is told and retold on the stage in books in films in art even where the forces of the Tokugawa and their allies gather around Osaka castle trying to do some kind of deal trying to force Hideyori and those around him to give up but in the end the siege turns bloody the castle is on fire and we have these famous scenes of Hideyori and his mother huddled together as everyone around them is burning up and dying so the siege of Osaka<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Aveline slipped into the ceremony site undetected and joined the dancing acolytes. She attempted to hit Baptiste with a dart from her blowpipe but before it could connect, Baptiste hit her with a dart from his own. He recognized Aveline's weapon as being the one that Agaté had stolen from him.
===[[Boshin War]] [1868-1869]===
But towards the end [of the Tokugawa Shogunate], things were probably not as great as they might have been. Added to which the Tokugawas had ancient enemies and they had defeated them in the battle of Sekigahara. And those enemies were from the southwest, from the Kyushu area. From the sort of southwestern part of Honshu. And they wanted their revenge and they rose up. And with the help of the British, and they actually toppled the last of the Tokugawa Shoguns, who abdicated. And at that point, the southwestern lords took over. So they once again didn't have legitimacy, but they once again immediately said, oh, we represent the emperor. And that gave them legitimacy. But they decided in that 250 years, the Tokugawa's capital was not Kyoto. The official capital was Kyoto, but the Tokugawa city was Edo. So the center of policy, the center of government, the center of culture, more and more gravitated towards Edo. And so these southwestern lords decided that they would make the capital, not Kyoto, but Edo. And so they marched up, they took Edo castle. And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


Baptiste admitted to usurping the identity of his deceased Assassin mentor and using it in a plan to force Agaté out of hiding. Thanks to the antidote, Aveline survived the poison attack and killed Baptiste's bodyguards, forcing the Voodoo leader to confront her himself. After a fierce duel, Aveline assassinated Baptiste.
==Groups==
===[[Jesuits]]===
And at the same time you had the Society of Jesus which started in 1540 and soon after the Papal Bull was ordained. Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


As he lay dying, Baptiste recognized the locket around Aveline's neck, claiming to know a woman from his shared past with Agaté who wore an identical one. But before Aveline could get the woman's name, Baptiste perished.
So he had a lot of expectations for Japan and in 1549 he finally set foot on Japan. So that was really the first time that the Jesuits arrived in Japan only six or seven years after the first Portuguese came there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>

The Whole Truth
You have, for example, Ōtomo Yoshishige, who became a Christian after a long time. But he was very well disposed against the Jesuits. You have other people like Takayama Ukon, who became a very fervent Christian and all his samurai also. So they were very fond of them, and they listened to the Jesuits. They asked them a lot about politics, how they could manage this or that issue. So the Jesuits got a lot of influence with some warlords and also with a lot of the peasants and the lower ranked people. So they really had some success, success that they didn't experience in other countries.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Aveline took her leave from Élise and returned to Agaté. She reported that Baptiste was dead and that he was working for The Templars and de Ferrer. When Agaté asked her if she learned anything else, all Aveline admitted to was that Baptiste had hoped to draw him out of hiding, rather than share any of her discoveries that may relate to her missing mother.
Xavier left in 1551, but soon there came more and more Jesuits.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>

New Orleans // Spanish Louisiana // 1768


Prelude to Rebellion
And that information [Fróis' letters] was used by the Jesuits in Europe for propaganda. So they published, after some censorship, Luís Fróis' and Vilela's and other letters, in Italy. And they were also translated in several languages like Latin, German, French, and so on, for the Catholic Reformation in Europe. They would say, see what we can do in Asia, and especially in Japan. We probably have lost England, but we have gained another island in the form of Japan. So they did a lot of propaganda, which gave them additional financial resources and many European Jesuits who wanted to join the efforts in Japan, which was good for them for a time, but could work as a double-edged sword.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


After France's defeat in the French-Indian war, Spain gained control of Louisiana and established a Spanish governor in New Orleans. Answering a summons to her family's warehouse sent by her ally Gérald Blanc, Aveline encountered a riot as the citizens of New Orleans rebelled against their new masters. Aveline defended the citizens from Spanish soldiers, whom she dispatched. When she was finished, Aveline questioned some citizens about the reasons for the uprisings. She learned they were upset about the surge of kidnappings following the Spanish takeover.
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Aveline met Gérald at the warehouse, where he presented her with new headquarters for her Assassin activities. He also provided a place to manage her father's trading empire, as well as a room to change outfits and store her weapons and tools. As a final surprise, he gave her a parasol that also doubled as a dart gun.
And when he had conquered Kyushu, he again met with Coelho on a Portuguese ship. And Coelho again said that we will support you in whatever endeavor you will take. But the night suddenly he sent a questionary to Coelho, asking him why they came to Japan, why they are making so much converts. And why are they destroying the Buddhist temples? Of course Coelho was really shocked with that. He was so well treated and suddenly everything changed overnight. So he gave his answer that, well, they came to Japan just to propagate their faith, in good faith. And that it was not them who destroyed the Buddhist temples, but the Japanese converts. So the answer of Hideyoshi was that he made a decree that the Jesuits had to leave Japan in 20 days. But he didn't enforce the order very strictly. And that was the same reason why the other warlords welcomed the Jesuits, because he didn't want disrupt the trade with the Portuguese. So he promulgated that decree. But afterwards, the Jesuits stayed in Japan and still continued their missionary work there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


His gifts to Aveline graciously accepted, Gérald turned to new business. A rival, Mr. Bouché, had set up a stall in the market, claiming that de Grandpré's coffee eroded the nerves of those who drank it. This slander had already started damaging sales. Aveline promised to cut Mr. Bouché's campaign of lies short.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, he forbade Christianity totally. And all influence of the Jesuits was razed very systematically from then on.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>

Elegant and Deadly
Jesuits can't carry swords or weapons, but they can employ people that do. And the Jesuits were a perfect employee in that sense, a bodyguard.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


Seeking to stop a campaign of slander against her family's coffee business, Aveline sought one of Gérald's informants and followed him to Mr. Bouché's stall in the market. One of Bouché's employees was spreading lies about the dangers of de Grandpré coffee and urging the citizens of New Orleans to drink East India tea instead. Aveline confronted the merchant and demanded an explanation, but all the poor illiterate employee could do was plead ignorance, asking that she seek his employer in his warehouse.
===[[Portuguese Empire]]===
When does that contact begin? Well, that begins in the middle of the 16th century, in 1549 to be correct. The Portuguese, they travelled to the east from the 15th century on and in 1498 I think they established a sea route to India and they went even further and in the beginning of the 16th century they already were in Malacca but then it still took some time for them to reach Japan. It was in 1542 or 43, it's still being disputed, that the first Portuguese merchants reached Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


At Bouché's warehouse, Aveline dispatched a guard with her new parasol dart gun and confronted Bouché. She demanded he stop slandering her family's reputation and issue a public apology. Having no intention to apologize, Bouché claimed that his profits were declining because he was losing too many slaves. Having no sympathy for the down-on-his-luck merchant, Aveline left.
Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion. Xavier had quite a correspondence with King John about all what he did in Asia and it wasn't what he expected.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


She reported back to Gérald, who surmised that Bouché's financial trouble made him sell off his shops. Aveline decided to buy him out so she could pay his slaves a proper wage and set them on the path to freedom. Gérald promised to look out for similar opportunities in the future.
==Three Great Unifiers==
===[[Oda Nobunaga]]===
But he's from the small province of Owari. But he's a really good example of someone who was able to use a combination of smart tactics, smart use of weaponry, judicious use of alliances to gradually expand beyond that province. So he takes another province for himself right early on. This is the middle of the 1500s. Then he makes some alliances. By 1568, after really only a few short years, and he's still relatively speaking a young man, he's able to do what most daimyo ultimately wanted to do, which is to mount a successful march on Kyoto and have the emperor under his BDI and also have the shogun under his control.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>


After Aveline bought one of Bouché's shops, she returned to Gérald. She believed that she had put an end to the problem of vanishing slaves when she killed Governor d'Abbadie. However, the problem had only gotten worse because now laborers and the poor were being abducted as well. Aveline decided she wanted to investigate the problem further. Gérald suggested she begin her investigations at San Danje, in the Bayou. Accordingly, she went to the docks, met Gérald again to have the company settle travel costs, then set out for the Bayou.
One of the stories told about him when he was a young man, just after his father left, all the Buddhist priests who had been tending to his father, praying for him, looking after him before he died, legend has it anyway that Oda Nobunaga had them all locked inside a single building and then shot to death for what they did, i.e. failing to keep his father alive. He also had a reputation as a teenager for being just quite strange, swaggering around town, eating nuts, letting them fall out of his mouth. He had sort of disheveled hair. At his father's funeral he's said to have picked up a fistful of incense and just thrown it and walked out. So quite a strange character, probably an unpromising character early on, but he was given this motto of rule the realm by force and I think that carried him through. He had a strong sense that he was always going to do this, that he was always going to succeed and I think there's a combination of deep self-belief and ruthlessness and I suppose a degree of luck as well that really seems to carry him forward. By the time that he died in the 1580s as a result of treachery on the part of some of his own men, actually, he had controlled most of Japan's main island of Honshu and he was on the verge of going to its second biggest island, Kyushu, down south. He actually at that point looked unstoppable.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01"/>

The Bayou // Spanish Louisiana // 1768


Vanishing Slaves
So in terms of Oda Nobunaga, not an especially promising background I think. If you think about the era into which he's born, there are roughly 120 of these states. Some of them at war with others, some of them in alliance etc. But his state or province or what he is just one of those and quite a small one at that. Plus I think it's 1551, his father dies when Oda Nobunaga is still quite young, still a teenager and he inherits control of this state and the people around him don't see him as an especially serious figure and especially compromising figure. You can imagine some of the senior vassals a little bit older than him thinking goodness me I don't know what's going to happen to our little province with this person in charge. He was I think just seen as being slightly mad, a bit of an idiot not really able to take life terribly seriously and yet within a few short years he proves himself to be this master strategist who becomes by the mid 1560s really the main player in Japan out of all these warlords.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Aveline arrived at San Danje and met with the Houngan she'd helped years earlier. She informed him she was investigating a new series of disappearances and asked if anyone had gone missing in the vicinity. The witch doctor replied that so many people traveled through San Danje that it was difficult to keep track. He suggested she talk to their mutual acquaintance Elise, who might have a better idea. He then gave Aveline a new type of poison for her blow gun darts.
What he succeeds in doing is very early on gaining control of a neighboring province and then he makes a very fortuitous alliance with the man who becomes Tokugawa Ieyasu. He doesn't yet have that name at this point in the 1550s but that's a great alliance. It allows Oda Nobunaga not to have to worry too much about the territory to one side of his own province and so he can look elsewhere for his focus but I think other things that seem to go in his favor include a real talent for strategy, choosing the right moment to attack, I think an extraordinary ruthlessness to him as well.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Aveline reunited with Elise and immediately brought up the missing slaves. Elise confirmed she'd seen convoys of people being carted off. While Elise didn't know where they were being sent, she knew the convoy originated from the Fort in the Bayou.
So I think by the time he dies in 1582 he has control of large parts of Japan's main island the long thin island of Honshu contains places like Tokyo as it's now called Kyoto of course Osaka for centuries really the central part of that central island really across from Osaka and Kyoto up to what we now call Tokyo has been considered as it were the business end of Japan that's where a lot of the power plays go on the culture is developed the economy is at its strongest and Oda Nobunaga has control of most of that certainly between himself and his allies in any case and he's thinking about moving into two other of Japan's main islands Kyushu which is towards the southwest and also the smaller island of Shikoku so he's got lots of plans he's still a relatively young man he's in an extraordinarily powerful position and he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


The next day, both women met along the convoy's path and raced to catch up with it. Aveline eliminated the guards and Elise recognized some of the prisoners. She called out to a slave named Chrisfait, who replied he didn't need rescuing because he was being taken to a work site in the south where he had been promised freedom. Aveline and Elise were skeptical and decided to investigate the Spanish fort where the convoy originated.
So you had, for example, Oda Nobunaga, which showed great familiarity to the Christians, to for example, Fróis, who he invited in Kyoto in Gifu Castle and showed him around in the castle. So it was very positively inclined towards the Christians, but still he never adopted the Christian faith himself.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>

The Bayou // Spanish Louisiana // 1768


Storming the Fort
Another one, when getting to Miyako, which is now Kyoto, a huge mob literally surrounded the mission and almost pushed the mission down, throwing stones. There were dead people in the crowd outside. And at that point, Nobunaga, who was the most powerful warlord in Japan at the time, was five minutes walk away. He heard this huge hullaballo, which he liked. He heard what was going on. And he demanded to see who was disturbing the peace, demanded that this person be brought before him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


After intercepting a convoy full of slaves heading to an undisclosed destination in the south, Aveline and Elise approached the Bayou Spanish fort. Aveline voiced her frustration about having failed to stop the abduction of slaves the last time.
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmaru took his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Aveline silently eliminated the fort's guards. Once inside its walls, Aveline chased the ranking officer in charge while Elise provided cover fire. After killing the officer, Aveline opened the fort's cells to free the prisoners. Once again, the women were met with no gratitude, as the laborers were visibly upset that they would not get to board the work ship. Elise escorted the workers back to San Danje while Aveline returned to New Orleans.
when Nobunaga is born in 1534, the Oda family effectively had control of Owari province at this point. Though the family itself was fractured and Nobunaga's branch was interestingly not the primary lineage.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>

New Orleans // Spanish Louisiana // 1768


In Vino Veritas
the Oda family, as I said, they were the deputy governors underneath the Shiba family in Owari, and he's born as the first legitimate son of a man named Oda Nobuhide, who is the defacto leader of the Oda family. Like I mentioned, his line was not the senior line, but Nobuhide was particularly capable and competent and brought his relatives under his control and for the most part dominated the governance of Owari province. But he was in constant conflict with his neighbors, particularly the powerful Imagawa Yoshimoto to his east and a daimyo named Saitō Dōsan to his north in Mino province.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


After raiding the Spanish fort and liberating slaves in the Bayou, Aveline reported back to Gérald in New Orleans. She knew that the Spanish were behind the kidnapped slaves but she didn't know where they were headed, or why the slaves seemed so eager to go. Gérald said the order must have come from Governor Ulloa, who was hiding out of reach in La Balize.
So Nobunaga's youth would have been one where his family was in constant conflict, both internally and externally. He was designated Nobuhide's heir rather early on, and given the education that you would expect of an heir, he was given four of Nobuhide's high-ranking subordinates as his tutors, so to speak, kind of to raise him up and teach him the ways that he would need to rule both military and politically. But it's often said he was a bit of a wild child who preferred running around with his friends rather than studying, out hunting, and raising all kinds of ruckus. Allegedly he wore outlandish outfits like a tiger skin cloak, and generally he didn't really act the part of an up-and-coming warlord. You'll often hear that he was called the Fool of Owari.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


The two Assassins hatched a plan to draw Ulloa out. The Spanish governor's restrictive laws had put the predominantly French population of New Orleans on edge. There were protests and unrest in the streets regularly. Aveline, disguised as a slave, followed Gérald to a demonstration and incited a riot.
But in 1549, he marries the daughter of Saito Dosan, who is located to Owari's north in Mino province, as part of a peace agreement between Dosan and Nobuhide.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


While the citizens rioted against the soldiers, Gérald informed Aveline they had an opportunity to intercept a delivery of gunpowder. Aveline quickly changed into her Assassin gear and silently eliminated the guards surrounding the gunpowder-laden carriage.
So Nobuhide dies in 1551. And despite Nobunaga being his heir, there's some contention based on his pattern of erratic behavior. One of the famous events that is often brought up is at Nobuhide's funeral. Nobunaga shows up allegedly very unkempt, not in the proper formal funeral attire, and acts very disrespectfully, throwing incense at the altar instead of performing the proper respectful rituals.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline and Gérald stole the carriage and raced it through the streets of the city, chased by Spanish soldiers. They crashed the carriage into a wine storehouse, causing a giant explosion. She noticed soldiers were preventing people from escaping the burning building. She cleared the way by charging into the building and killing the blocking soldiers.
And based off of this, we are told that some of his father's vassals form a faction around his younger brother while other branches of the family. So this is an opportunity for them to seize control, push this loser who's not ready for the job out of the way. Other vassals defect to the Imagawa or plot with the Saito. So his position upon his father's death is actually very precarious.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Afterwards, an exhausted Gérald suggested that they regroup at the warehouse.
But in 1553, one of his senior retainers, one of these four men who was designated as his tutors and mentors, a man by the name of Hirata Masahide, commits suicide. [...] We have Hirata committing this form of protest suicide. And it serves as a way to wake up young Nobunaga to his rather outlandish behavior and how it's being detrimental to both, you know, his own well-being and the well-being of the Oda family.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


After starting a riot and triggering a large explosion, Aveline and Gérald reconvened at their warehouse headquarters. To cause further disturbances to draw governor Ulloa out of hiding, Gérald suggested she sabotage Spanish ships harbored at the docks.
he does begin to more seriously concentrate on consolidating his control over Owari and the Oda family.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline departed for the docks, where she boarded a ship and killed the guards onboard. She cut it loose from its anchor and was ambushed by a squad of soldiers led by her old acquaintance Captain Carlos Dominguez. After Aveline killed his men, Dominguez begged for his life. She showed him mercy but told him to save himself as she set explosives to completely destroy the vessel.
So his first fight is to simply gain control of his own family, you know, largely inside of Owati province. There's some pressure from external enemies that Imagawa to the east. But initially from 1552 to 1554, he's contending with iterations of rebellion from his uncle, Nobutomo, who inspired to assassinate him and worked with, you know, other entities to try to make that happen. Nobunaga catches him and forgives him once. But you know, second time he continues to plot. Nobunaga captures him and has him put to death.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

New Orleans // Spanish Louisiana // 1768-10-27


A Governor No More
In 1556, again, out of fears that Nobunaga is just not up to the task. Several of his major retainers side with his younger brother Nobuyuki, but Nobunaga, you know, warned of potential treachery at one point, feigns an illness instead of going to go meet his brother. So his brother comes to meet him. And when he does, Nobunaga has him and his entourage assassinated.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline received a letter from her mentor Agaté, summoning her to the city's cemetery. At their meeting, Agaté asked for a show of loyalty. He requested she kill Antonio de Ulloa, the Spanish governor. The riots Aveline and Gérald incited had forced the governor out of hiding in La Balize.
So the 1550s is really the story of Nobunaga's consolidation of his power within the Oda family, establishing himself as the leader of the family. And by default, almost the ruler of the Oda province. In 1559, his final obstacle is the castle of Iwakura and his cousin Nobuyasu, who belongs to the senior branch of the Oda line. But he manages to take Iwakura castle and eliminate Nobuyasu. And this ends the internal threats now.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline prepared an ambush along the governor's route into the city. She killed nearby guards and blocked exits by crashing water towers into them. The governor's convoy arrived and quickly found themselves trapped in the town square. Aveline launched her ambush by blowing up a powder keg, killing a large number of soldiers, before eliminating the survivors.
In 1560, the powerful daimyo Imagawa Yoshimoto to his east, enrolled [????] Toutomi, Suroga, and the Kawa provinces, and came from the illustrious Imagawa line, which was one of the pillars of the former Ashikaga shogunate. He decides, or it's usually assumed at least that he decides that he's going to make a run at marching on the capital of Kyoto to take charge of the central government. So he gathers together an army of 25,000 troops and begins his march east. And the first stop is, of course, his neighbor in Owari province, Nobunaga. So he has to go through Nobunaga's domain. On paper, this is going to be very easy. He's got 25,000 troops, which at the time was a very large army. And Nobunaga only has a few thousand men, maybe 2,500. So we're looking at roughly around a 10 to 1 disadvantage. But Nobunaga, despite the fact that his advisors all counsel him to withdraw into his castle at Kyosu and withstand a siege, he decides that that's a losing strategy. Because what's he going to do against an attack by an army that size? He decides that his best course of action is to try to seek an opening and attack.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


With no one left to defend him, Governor Ulloa begged Aveline to spare his wife and child. Aveline showed little sympathy but stopped when the governor revealed that the slaves were being taken to Mexico. He couldn't say why because he had no idea. Ulloa bargained for his life by offering what limited information he possessed. He suggested the workers were perhaps excavating relics of importance to the Templars from that region. In addition, he offered Aveline a special decoding lens that was given to him by the Templar Order. Aveline accepted the trade, and told the governor to take his family away from the continent and never return. Ulloa showed clear relief at her mercy, until Aveline informed him the Templars were likely to kill him sooner or later.
But the Imagawa forces by midday had made significant progress against the Odo forces invading. So the Imagawa army was much larger. It was rather spread out and divided. The vanguard had taken several of these forts that Nobunaga had. Yoshimori himself was with only a few thousand troops. And at his command post, they took a bit of a siesta, almost, if you will, in this small narrow gorge called Dengaku Hazama. And they were celebrating some of the Imagawa troops had already broken into the celebration sake in anticipation of their great victory that they saw coming because, you know, how could you see anything else? A little bit after this, there's a rainstorm. This was in the summer. So the rainy season in Japan. This thunderstorm breaks out and it really helps Nobunaga maneuver his forces through the mountains, through these narrow passes into position to attack Imagawa Yoshimoto's headquarters camp. They broke out of the tree line to attack the camp. And at first Yoshimoto assumes that it's a drunken brawl taking place amongst his men. Too late, he realizes that it's not that he's actually under attack. And shortly after that, two of the Otis samurai relieve him up his head. In the aftermath, the Imagawa forces deprived of their commander melt away in confusion. And we have this almost legendary victory by other Nobunaga outmanned ten to one, destroying the forces of this great daimyo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline returned to Agaté in the cemetery and presented him with the lens. However, Agaté's pleasure quickly melted into outrage when he discovered that Aveline had disobeyed him and allowed Ulloa to live. Aveline attempted to calm her mentor, reminding him of their shared goals to free the slaves, defeat the Templars, and deliver justice. She wanted to pursue the Templars' trail to Mexico. Agaté forbade her to go, but Aveline insisted, drawing a warning from her mentor that she would live to regret her insubordination.
So it kind of makes a name for Nobunaga. Another key thing about this battle, though, and the aftermath is that in the confusion of the Imagawa family with the loss of their head, several of their more talented and younger retainers, one of which we know today as Tokugawa Ieyasu, are able to claim independence. And Ieyasu establishes himself in his home territory of Mikawa, which is just to the east of Owari, and establishes an alliance with Nobunaga, thus providing a secure flank to Nobunaga's east, allowing Nobunaga to then look in other directions as he begins to expand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

New Orleans // Spanish Louisiana // 1768


Southbound
So Nobunaga, his next target is this province to his north, Mino Province, which is much larger in size than Owari, and it's somewhat kind of the nexus of road networks in central Japan, where two of the major roads from Chiyoto into the capital in central Japan to the east runs through it. So it's a pretty strategic province to have. So he goes to war against Saitou Dousan and it takes a while, but through diplomacy and bribery of the Saitou generals, he's able to convince many of them to join his side. And by 1567, he's weakened them enough to besiege and take the main castle at Inabayama, which he then renames Gifu.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline made preparations to journey to Mexico to find the slaves that had been taken from New Orleans by the Templar Order. She was met at the docks by Gérald Blanc, who had heard about her plans through a disgruntled Agaté. He asked her if she was abandoning her mission as an Assassin. Aveline explained that her cover story was that her father was sending her to Cuba to locate suppliers for their business. Gérald confessed his feelings for her, but ultimately realized that there was nothing he could do or say to stop her. Instead, he helped her board a ship full of slaves bound for Mexico.
So then he works to consolidate his position by doing some preliminary campaigns into neighboring Issei province and establishing diplomatic relations. So he marries his younger sister, Oichi, to a warlord named Azai Nagamasa who rules northern Omi province. And this is significant because Omi is the province that lies between Mino and Owari, which he owns, and the capital of Kyoto. So he's in essence securing a line of, you know, advance for future endeavors.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

Chichen Itza // Yucatan // 1769


A New Life
The previous shogun, Ashikaga Yoshitero, had been assassinated in 1565 and replaced by a puppet. So Yoshitero's younger brother, a man by the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, had been traveling around the provinces trying to seek a benefactor who would back his claim and help him march on the capital. So shortly after Nobunaga establishes himself in Gifu, Yoshiaki arrives on his doorstep in 1568, thus giving him a pretext to make his move on the capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline arrived in the Mayan city of Chichen Itza where the Templars had opened an excavation site near some ruins. The site was supervised by the Templar Rafael Joaquin de Ferrer. Aveline mingled with other members of the community to learn more about her new surroundings. De Ferrer welcomed the newcomers to what he says will be a free and peaceful life in which they can work hard and prosper.
The fact that he can take a legitimate claimant to the Ashikaga shogunate and march on Kyoto with utter the pretext of putting him into power gives him the legitimate of his siege to do so. So November of 1568, he enters Kyoto with his army and installs Yoshiaki as the 15th Ashikaga shogun. However, here's where things start to differ from what you might have expected at the time, because rather than accept Yoshiaki's offer to be his deputy shogun, Nobunaga declines that in any other position that Yoshiaki offers.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline met a slave she had freed years earlier, who explained that while they weren't paid a wage and didn't own the land, they were allowed to participate in their new community and enjoyed comfortable homes and good food. She said she enjoyed this new life and compared the settlement to Eden.
In 1570, Nobunaga sends an invitation, sensibly on Yoshiaki's behalf, to local warlords for a reception in Kyoto. And this is almost a way to test who was going to accept his authority and who wasn't. And the daimyo of Ichizen province, Asakura Yoshikage, refuses the summons. So Nobunaga launches a campaign to besiege the Asakura's main castle. But unfortunately for Nobunaga, the Azai, his brother-in-law's family, his brother-in-law being Azai Nagamasa, had a multi-generational alliance relationship with the Asakura. So Nagamasa feels obligated to go to the Asakura's aid, and he launches an attack on Nobunaga's army's rear, forcing Nobunaga to break off the siege and retreat while a rear guard held off the Asai and the Asakura forces. So Nobunaga feels personally betrayed by this man who was a relative by marriage. And the Asai and Asakura are one of the initial threats that he faces.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

Chichen Itza // Yucatan // 1769


Gathering Tools
The two sides meet in July of 1570 at the Battle of Anegawa, where Nobunaga was joined by his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu. And they fight this battle in the shallow Anagawa River, both sides plunging into the water to engage the enemy. So if you picture this dramatic battle in this shallow river, Tokugawa, on Nobunaga's right flank, managed to route the Asakura and then crash into the flank of the Asai while at the same time Nobunaga sent his reserves around the other flank. And it causes the collapse of the enemy to create victory.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline moved around the work site, obtaining materials needed to fashion weapons to defend herself. She stole belts from the Spanish Templar guards, knives from one of the cooks, and wooden planks from the nearby construction site. She distracted the blacksmith by blowing up kegs of gunpowder, then used his tools to fashion two makeshift hidden blades.
But the surviving members of the Asakura and the Asai forces find refuge on Mount Hiei, which is a mountain just to the northeast of the capital. And it's the site of the Enuryakuji Temple, which is the headquarters of the Tendai Sept of Buddhism and a military power in its own right. what that matters is that, you know, this was a Buddhist temple that had essentially an army of its own. And so this prevents Nobunaga from cutting off the Asai and the Asakura forces and completely destroying them. And he has to back off,<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
|-|
28=
Chichen Itza // Yucatan // 1769


The Company Man
Another group that around this time rises up to challenge his authority and one that will probably his longest running enemy is what's known as the Ikkō-ikki or the Ikko League. This was a confederation of followers of the true Pure Land Sept of Buddhism. And its headquarters was the Ishiyama Hongan-ji, which was located in what is now present day Osaka. But it had groups of adherents called these Ikki or leagues scattered throughout the provinces of central Japan. And in 1570, Nobunaga starts a war with them because the self-defense groups, these Ikki and the Ishiyama Hongan-ji itself resisted political and military control by local warrior rule. In fact, in 1486, the Ikko Ikki of Kaga Province overthrew the local dainyo and ruled the province without any samurai rule for almost 100 years.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Now that she was sufficiently armed, Aveline trailed the work site's overseer and the Templar Rafael Joaquin de Ferrer. She overheard de Ferrer state that the Company Man was displeased with the progress of the excavation site, and that a Templar named Vazquez was going to New Orleans to continue the Order's mission after Baptiste's failure. She followed the two men until they came to a member of the community who had attempted to escape. De Ferrer told the overseer to "educate" him and left.
For 10 years until 1580, he's in this constant on and off war with the Ishiyama Hongan-ji and their ikko followers in various locations throughout the provinces. And they're really the linchpin of the various coalitions that are opposing Nobunaga. You know, at this point, these are kind of like the main enemies that he's looking at.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline killed the soldiers who were attacking the captive, then killed the overseer and stole his whip, which she used to eliminate reinforcements. The captive was grateful for Aveline's help. He pointed out that the locket she wore around her neck looked like one he had seen before, worn by a woman named Jeanne, one of the first workers to arrive at Chichen Itza. He did not know where Jeanne was, only that she lived in a private residence in the south of the camp.
But in 1571, he realizes that the only way to solve his problem of encirclement is to break kind of the circle. So he starts with Mount Hiei, the Enuryakuchi temple complex that had given refuge to his enemies. And in the fall, he brings them out and has his troops advance up deliberately. And according to eyewitness accounts from the time that are written down, his troops are killing anything that's alive, whether it be monks, laymen, women, children, reportedly even every animal that's on the mountain. And they burn almost every building of this massive temple complex.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

Trail of Truth
Early assessments of their relationship by historians assume that Nobunaga's plan all along was to use him as a puppet and then throw him away and take power for himself. I agree with more recent biographers, you see it as a little bit more complicated than that. Ashikaga Yoshiaki, obviously, as the Shogun, felt that he should be in charge. So after being installed in 1568, he attempts to rule, but he quickly sees that he cannot do anything without Nobunaga's help. And by 1572, there's some real tension between the two of who's in charge. Nobunaga issued several admonishments, which have been published and are famous, going so far as to note how the people call Yoshiaki the evil Shogun, in scare quotes there, and laying out rules for the Shogun's house to follow. Of course, Yoshiaki takes offense at this and who are you to tell me the Shogun how to run things? And so, like I said, early on, historians looked at this as Nobunaga's overstipping his bow, just trying to push Yoshiaki out.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


After learning that her long-lost mother Jeanne might be found in the Chichen Itza work camp, Aveline searched for clues. Using her Eagle Vision, she eventually found Jeanne's abandoned hut. Further clues prompted Aveline to investigate a nearby cenote.
I see a different reading of it that is more compelling to me is that, no, he really saw that this was like the structure that should be in place and was trying to guide Yoshiaki back onto an actual correct path of governance, at least as Nobunaga saw it. And his efforts to maintain relations with Yoshiaki, at least initially, were very sincere. But Yoshiaki is the one who kind of pushes the relationship to the breaking point. And the early 1570s, he's orchestrating coalitions of enemies to move against Nobunaga. In addition to the Iko Iki, he's kind of another lynchpin of the different coalitions against Nobunaga, trying to convince different daimyo to turn against Nobunaga, invade, come rescue me in Kyoto and be my savior and I'll grant you XYZ, so forth.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

Chichen Itza // Yucatan // 1769


The Secret of the Cenote
This continues until 1573, when it's very obvious that Nobunaga has run out of patience. In 1573, he does march on Kyoto and expel Yoshiaki, which more or less ends the Ashikaga shogunate for good. And then Ashikaga would escape to Western Japan, where he would take up residence in the lands of one of Nobunaga's enemies, the Mori family. And from there, he would continue to write different daimyo, constantly trying to create a coalition that could overthrow Nobunaga and reinstall him in power. How effective that was? Well, we see that it didn't happen, but he certainly was doing his best the entire time to undermine Nobunaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Aveline explored the ruins of a First Civilization Temple and found half of a mysterious artifact known as the Prophecy Disk.
The Takeda family is finally destroyed in 1582. And one of the few remaining enemies in the main island of Japan that he is concerned about is this family called the Mori family. And he's had one of his generals man by the name of Hashida Hideyoshi, who we would later know as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One of his generals is leading the campaign against them. And having just completed the campaign in the east against the Takeda, he is given notice by Hideyoshi that a siege of a castle is almost complete. But he's worried that Mori reinforcements are going to come. So please send additional reinforcements to me in order to defeat the Mori.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Immediately after finding the artifact, Aveline was surprised by Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer, the high-ranking Templar agent who had plotted with Governor Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie and former Assassin Baptiste. De Ferrer now threatened to steal the artifact from her, but Aveline killed him and his men before he had the chance.
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
|-|
31=
Chichen Itza // Yucatan // 1769


Reunited, Briefly
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


After finding the first half of an artifact called the Prophecy Disk, the First Civilization Temple began to crumble around Aveline. During her escape, she was briefly reunited with her mother, Jeanne.
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Jeanne wondered if Agaté had sent Aveline to Mexico to kill her and warned her daughter that the disk should never fall into Agaté's hands. To Aveline's dismay, her mother fled in terror before she could explain further.
So one of the things that he institutes in large scale, though not systematic scale, is land surveys, sending out his administrators to take surveys of the arable land and their rice production yield. What this does is it establishes tax registers, it establishes known income values, and it enables Nobunaga to award rights to the land to his subordinates. And in some ways, assign them or move them based off of income levels, the pieces of land are very modular, and he can move his retainers around underneath him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi after him, who turns it into a systematic evaluation of the entire Japanese realm.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

Prodigal Daughter
Nobunaga is furious. He couldn't believe that his son had put himself in position to be defeated and humiliated like this. So he supposedly threatens to disown Nobukatsu. He doesn't end up following through on it, but he's not pleased.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


Aveline returned from Mexico and reunited with Gérald Blanc. She informed him that de Ferrer would no longer trouble them. However, their warm homecoming was cut short, as new business was waiting for her. Gérald reported that Spanish soldiers were causing havoc in the Bayou. One of his informants saw a man bribing Spanish soldiers in New Orleans. Aveline promised to investigate.
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Aveline located the recruiter in town and followed him as he bribed soldiers in the city. She chased him down until he hid in a fort.
So one of their descendants, Yoshiyaki, was around and he was a pretty hopeless guy. But he was officially the Shogun. So Nobunaga's excuse for entering Kyoto was to reinstate him as Shogun. But actually, he, like a lot of these guys, is this Yoshiyaki. The Shogun was very treacherous. We wanted to get rid of Nobunaga, and he instigated a plot against him. So Nobunaga had him arrested and taken off to a castle in the middle of nowhere and left there forever. So that was the end of him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>

So the Emperor [Michihito, Emperor Ōgimachi] was still rather broke. The Emperor throughout centuries was very often very poor, and very often just basically getting pocket money from whoever is in power, but still had respect and was still officially descended from the Sun Goddess, the most respected person in the entire land. So Nobunaga then gave the Emperor lots of money and furnished the Imperial Palace made it good. So he gave himself legitimacy as a ruler by helping out the Emperor.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline infiltrated the military camp in New Orleans where the Templar recruiter was hiding. After killing him, she found a letter on his body. Aveline escaped the camp, read the letter, and discovered it was from Vazquez, who mentioned a need for more soldiers to control the Bayou.
He [Nobunaga] had a very dramatic and spectacular assassination by one of his own men. It's an amazing story, but that happened in Kyoto. He was in a temple where it was his land. He thought he was absolutely fine. He didn't have that many guards, and one of his own generals turned against him. So he was killed there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline recalled that de Ferrer mentioned Vazquez in Chichen Itza and wondered if he could be the elusive Company Man. She decided to warn Agaté and the smugglers in the Bayou.
===[[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]===

so Hideyoshi Toyotomi was one of those [ashigaru] now and again he carried the sandals of Oda Nobunaga Oda Nobunaga used to refer to him affectionately as that bald rat Hideyoshi's famously sort of short on a bit of hair but nevertheless he rises through the ranks to be a senior and trusted man under Oda Nobunaga so immediately he rushes from where he's been fighting over to take care of the traitors and he brings the traitors head back to Kyoto to effectively lay at the feet of Oda Nobunaga's body to say here we are you know I've taken care of this for you and Hideyoshi really then becomes the inheritor I think of this project to try to unify Japan and his major next step one of the steps that Oda Nobunaga would have taken had he lived was to attack Kyushu<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>

Power of Voodoo
yet for Hideyoshi Kyushu is a part of Japan that he simply must have so he sends around a quarter of a million men over to Kyushu to take it for himself which he manages to do in fairly short order in 1586 and 7<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Aveline traveled to the Bayou to warn Agaté about the Templar Vazquez. However, her mentor was not pleased to see his wayward pupil and even less pleased to see the Prophecy Disk when she presented it to him. He demanded that she remove it from his sight. Aveline obeyed and was careful not to mention her mother's involvement.
Hideyoshi for his part had a powerful dislike of Christians so the island of Kyushu in this period was probably the part of Japan where Christian missionaries Portuguese and Spanish mainly the Jesuits but also others as well had since the 1550s been making quite a large number of converts so some of the warlords the daimyo in Kyushu were actually Christians who had a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish and Japanese names and Hideyoshi was astounded to find when he got to Kyushu but he found some Christian missionaries offering him to kind of broker deals with warlords help him take over the island these people as far as Hideyoshi were concerned were foreigners preaching of foreign faith he discovered that Nagasaki had been raised up into this great port by the Jesuits who had effectively been given Nagasaki by a local warlord so the extraordinary influence that a foreign power preaching of foreign religion had in Kyushu I think upset Hideyoshi very much<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Agaté was already aware that Vazquez was bribing Spanish troops. To disrupt their morale, he devised a plan to use their superstitions against them. Aveline offered to help him as proof of her loyalty. Agaté had placed signs along the Templar's patrol route, and Aveline tailed the the soldiers and eliminated them silently, creating the illusion of a Voodoo curse.
Hideyoshi once he's taken Kyushu just a few years later launches invasions of Korea so he sends troops across including some of Christian warlords commanding them across to Korea wanting to use it almost as China's driveway if you think about the geography of it send these troops up through Korea take over the peninsula eventually invade and take over China and after that he also wanted to take over India as well<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Aveline doubted that Agaté's plan would be enough to stop Vazquez from recruiting more soldiers, but followed his orders nonetheless.
although Hideyoshi has done very well by 1590 as I say he pretty much has most parts of Japan wrapped up under his control and he's starting to think about internal administration he introduces measures for example to disarm the peasantry so if you want to end this period of all against all warfare he wants to return to a position where most people cannot bear arms and it's very clear who can and who aren't and where you sit in these various samurai hierarchies so he does all these bits of internal administration too I suppose another thing he starts to do is to launch these surveys of the land something that Oda Nobunaga had started to an extent but Hideyoshi really goes for it to get a sense of who going forward owns what in Japan what kind of tax you ought to pay so the things that you know maybe strike some fans of history as a bit dull but nevertheless a sign I think of a new order starting to entrench itself so he does all that but his Korean campaign goes badly wrong in the 1590s the Chinese finally put some men in the field and they push the Japanese troops all the way back down the Korean peninsula so it doesn't go anywhere except for poisoning relations with Korea for a very long time to come and then in 1598 Hideyoshi dies and the one thing he doesn't manage to do and I suppose fans of history from Europe and elsewhere there's similar things happen here one thing you want to do if you're a newly established ruler is make sure that the succession is in place...<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>

The Lighthouse
And you had Otomo, which was a very powerful clan in the east of Kyushu. And then you had in the southwest, you had the Shimazu. And Otomo was losing against the Shimazu. So he asked Hideyoshi to intervene. And sometime before Hideyoshi marched towards Kyushu, he met with Coelho, which was then the head of the Christian mission in Japan, together with Fróis. And he treated Coelho very well, just like Oda Nobunaga had done with Fróis. So Coelho was really pleased with that. And then Hideyoshi asked him, I want to invade Korea. Then you provide two Portuguese ships to help me in this invasion. And if I conquer Korea, I will make it that there are a lot of churches being built. So Koelyo said, yes, I will do that for you. And I will make sure that we have two Portuguese ships, the Karak ships, as they were called by the English, gigantic ships. So Hideyoshi could very well use them for his invasion in Korea. And then he went a step further and he said, I will make sure that the Christian warlords in Kyushu will also support you. And I think at that moment that Hideyoshi, that there was a ring bell in his head, that the Christians, the Jesuits had too much influence in Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Aveline reunited with her smuggler friends Elise and Roussillon to warn them of Vazquez's plots. Roussillon heard rumors that Vazquez planned to divert a supply ship. Aveline climbed the lighthouse at the fort on Lake Pontchartrain and shut it down.
And when he had conquered Kyushu, he again met with Coelho on a Portuguese ship. And Coelho again said that we will support you in whatever endeavor you will take. But the night suddenly he sent a questionary to Coelho, asking him why they came to Japan, why they are making so much converts. And why are they destroying the Buddhist temples? Of course Coelho was really shocked with that. He was so well treated and suddenly everything changed overnight. So he gave his answer that, well, they came to Japan just to propagate their faith, in good faith. And that it was not them who destroyed the Buddhist temples, but the Japanese converts. So the answer of Hideyoshi was that he made a decree that the Jesuits had to leave Japan in 20 days.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>

Nobunaga's main retainer, a man called Hideyoshi, was born a peasant. He actually became Nobunaga's successor after Nobunaga died. So he rose from literally the bottom almost to the top within his lifetime. He died quite early as well, maybe in his 50s. So it wasn't even a long life.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


After Aveline sabotaged the lighthouse, the Templar supply ship ran aground. The Assassin returned to her smuggler allies and escorted them to the ship, killing the guards that attempted to stop them.
The Takeda family is finally destroyed in 1582. And one of the few remaining enemies in the main island of Japan that he is concerned about is this family called the Mori family. And he's had one of his generals man by the name of Hashida Hideyoshi, who we would later know as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One of his generals is leading the campaign against them. And having just completed the campaign in the east against the Takeda, he is given notice by Hideyoshi that a siege of a castle is almost complete. But he's worried that Mori reinforcements are going to come. So please send additional reinforcements to me in order to defeat the Mori.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>


The smugglers were overjoyed with their prize. Although Vazquez wasn't on board, Roussillon found a letter that prompted Aveline to return to Chichen Itza.
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

A Piece of the Puzzle
So one of the things that he institutes in large scale, though not systematic scale, is land surveys, sending out his administrators to take surveys of the arable land and their rice production yield. What this does is it establishes tax registers, it establishes known income values, and it enables Nobunaga to award rights to the land to his subordinates. And in some ways, assign them or move them based off of income levels, the pieces of land are very modular, and he can move his retainers around underneath him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi after him, who turns it into a systematic evaluation of the entire Japanese realm.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Realizing that the First Civilization artifact she discovered in Chichen Itza was only half of a larger disk, Aveline de Grandpré returned to the ancient Mayan city to recover the other fragment. Upon entering the site, she met her mother, Jeanne. Having gotten over her initial fear, Jeanne now greeted her daughter warmly. When Aveline asked her mother if she felt free, she hinted that she would only be at peace when someone removed the rest of the artifact.
And his trusted lieutenant, who was a guy called Hashiba Hideyoshi, Hashiba Hideyoshi had a lot of different names. He started off the son of a farmer and he was called Hiyoshi. And he was also called Saru-san, which means Mr. Monkey, because he was an ugly bloke and looked like a monkey. He was small and ugly. He had a lot of girlfriends. He had a really devoted wife to whom he wrote wonderful letters. This is all by the by. Hideyoshi is a great guy. Hideyoshi came galloping back from the campaign he was engaged in when he heard that Nobunaga had been killed. And basically Nobunaga's method had been force and violence. Hideyoshi was the man with the golden tongue. He used persuasion. He was nice to people. And he got everybody to pledge allegiance to him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


With her mother's help, Aveline acquired the second fragment from a hidden chamber within the caves.
And because Hideyoshi came from a poor family, he was a farmer's son. He had climbed his way right through the ranks, which only two people in the whole of Japanese history did. But he sort of didn't have anything to prove to anybody. He was very nice to the emperor, but he loved culture. He wanted to enjoy all those wonderful things that the upper classes had. But under him, the sort of culture he liked was chō. He liked display. He liked sort of flamboyancy. For example, there are paintings of the wonderful kimonos people wore. And there are also beautiful paintings of how Kyoto looked, with all the people on the streets, people dancing, the beautiful buildings, the temples, the palaces.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

An Urgent Favour
He built a palace in the middle of called Jurakudai, in the middle of Kyoto, where Nijō Castle is. That now, for those of you who've been there, anyone who's been there, right in the center. And then he also built Momoyama Castle [aka Fushimi Castle] in the south of Kyoto. And he also, while he was at it, I'm not sure if I'm answering your question anymore, but he had an enormous tea party for the entire population of Kyoto, the entire population, including all the poor people, and got them all to come. And it occupied a whole sort of enormous shrine grounds. And I think there was something like 800 tea pavilions there. Part of tea is displaying your beautiful utensils. And he displayed his gold utensils. And he also had an entire tea hut made of gold, the golden tea hut.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline returned home from Chichen Itza to find her father Phillipe suffering from an illness, despite being administered a tonic by her step-mother Madeleine de L'Isle. Her visit with her father was cut short when Madeleine requested her assistance in helping a slave named George flee to the north. Aveline promised to provide discreet help.
Hideyoshi sort of basically laid out Kyoto as it is now.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Aveline found George hiding from Spanish soldiers, escorted him to the city gates, and told him to find safety in the Bayou.
Were there games in medieval Japan that we know about? Right. One thing that the samurai ruler, especially the unifier, Toyotomi Hideyoshi liked, was the noh play.

Supplying the Revolution
===[[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]===
What he succeeds in doing is very early on gaining control of a neighboring province and then he makes a very fortuitous alliance with the man who becomes Tokugawa Ieyasu. He doesn't yet have that name at this point in the 1550s but that's a great alliance. It allows Oda Nobunaga not to have to worry too much about the territory to one side of his own province and so he can look elsewhere for his focus [...]<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


At the request of her stepmother, Madeleine, Aveline helped an escaped slave named George flee north. She introduced him to her smuggler friends in the Bayou, who were attempting to deliver supplies to the Patriots fighting in the American Revolution.
unfortunately he dies when his son Hideyori is still too young to assume power and so you have this council of elders who are controlling things until Hideyori is old enough to rule by himself but unfortunately on that council of elders is one Tokugawa Ieyasu who while you know professing a certain amount of loyalty to Hideyori is plotting and scheming instead to take it all for himself and so he becomes our third major figure.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


In exchange for her help in delivering the supplies, Aveline demanded the Patriots escort George to freedom. They agreed, provided he fight for their cause. After delivering the supplies, Aveline learned that Vazquez was back in Louisiana, and planned to resume her hunt for the Company Man.
he stations some troops in Kyoto to keep the emperor under a watchful eye not necessarily because of what the emperor might do but what people might use the emperor for some of his western enemies you know as in in the western part of Japan might potentially take the emperor as a figurehead and launch a further action against him it's not as though after a great battle like that everyone on the losing side thinks fair enough you know you've got me I'll walk away and agree to this so he has that our establishment Kyoto his own power base is Edo this castle town that is now the great city of Tokyo so his shogunate is really run out of Edo that's where his advisors are his castle is his strong economy is and he manages to really build up Edo I think in short order the other thing he does which is really establishing this process of unification really establishing the new Japan is he does this enormous reshuffling of territory in Japan I think it's the biggest reshuffling of territory in terms of who controls what in Japan's history so lots of the people who are on the losing side at the battle of Sekigahara either lose everything or their territory is drastically cut down or they're shipped off to another part of the country entirely perhaps all these things that are designed to damage their power he also as part of that reshuffle takes over a system that Hideyoshi used to use called Sankin Kortai<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>

The Last Dance
Tokugawa Ieyasu, he forbade Christianity totally. And all influence of the Jesuits was razed very systematically from then on.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


After seeing George to safety, Aveline returned to New Orleans to inform Gérald of Vazquez's return to the city. Gérald suggested that their Templar target might attend the Captain's Ball.
So it kind of makes a name for Nobunaga. Another key thing about this battle, though, and the aftermath is that in the confusion of the Imagawa family with the loss of their head, several of their more talented and younger retainers, one of which we know today as Tokugawa Ieyasu, are able to claim independence. And Ieyasu establishes himself in his home territory of Mikawa, which is just to the east of Owari, and establishes an alliance with Nobunaga, thus providing a secure flank to Nobunaga's east, allowing Nobunaga to then look in other directions as he begins to expand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>


Aveline located her target and charmed Vazquez into dancing with her, before luring him away from the other party guests and then stabbing him. As he lay dying, Vazquez revealed that the Company Man was in fact a woman, but died before revealing her name.
The two sides meet in July of 1570 at the Battle of Anegawa, where Nobunaga was joined by his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu. And they fight this battle in the shallow Anagawa River, both sides plunging into the water to engage the enemy. So if you picture this dramatic battle in this shallow river, Tokugawa, on Nobunaga's right flank, managed to route the Asakura and then crash into the flank of the Asai while at the same time Nobunaga sent his reserves around the other flank. And it causes the collapse of the enemy to create victory.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


As Aveline left the party, she was confronted by her stepmother Madeleine, who informed her that her father had passed away.
Many of them [Iga warriors] went to work for a retainer of Tokugawa Iyasu who has become famous in kind of ninja lore, man by the name of Hattori Hanzo. And Hattori Hanzo had family ties to Iga. He's often referred to or portrayed as in pop culture as a ninja, but he was a samurai retainer, a warrior just like many of the warriors that fought for any of the Daimyo of this period. He appears in most of Tokugawa Iyasu's battles until Hanzo dies in 1590s. He is considered one of Tokugawa Iyasu's closest retainers, but because through his family ties, he had a knowledge base of these sort of unconventional guerilla tactics. He also had through those ties, the ability to kind of act as a landing place for many of these men of Iga. And so many of them went to work for Tokugawa Ieyasu under the command of Hattori Hanzo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>

The Loss of a Father
==The Jesuits==
===[[Francis Xavier]]===
Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion. Xavier had quite a correspondence with King John about all what he did in Asia and it wasn't what he expected. In 1542 he came to India but he didn't get good results so he tried to go to Malacca but there also there was not much interest for his propagating of the faith. And there he met with a Japanese called Anjiro, probably his real name was Yajiro, and he told him about Japan and also some Portuguese merchants who had gone to Japan told him that that will be the country where you really are going to get a lot of people converted to Christianity. So he had a lot of expectations for Japan and in 1549 he finally set foot on Japan. So that was really the first time that the Jesuits arrived in Japan only six or seven years after the first Portuguese came there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


With her father dead, her stepmother informed her the circumstances of her birth prevented him from leaving her anything in his will, but that she could still consider Madeleine's house as her home. Likewise, Gérald assured her that while he had inherited the family business, he considered it to be hers.
when Xavier came in Japan, he landed in Satsuma, Kagoshima, which is in the southern part of the Kyushu island, and you had a warlord there, Shimaze Takahisa, and he welcomed Xavier very much because he had a motive. If the Jesuits would come, he thought the Portuguese merchants would follow. So he treated Xavier very well and he gave him permission to preach the Gospel in his domains, but after a year, no Portuguese ship arrived, so then he prohibited Christianity and Xavier was compelled to go to another domain, which was the Hilado domain of Matsura Takanobu, and just at that time there was a Portuguese vessel there. And when the Portuguese saw the Jesuits, so Xavier and his companions, they greeted them with utmost respect. And Takanobu saw that, so he thought, okay, I have to treat them also with respect so that the Portuguese traders could come, because those Portuguese traders, they got a lot of products.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>

A Fool's Errand
And he thought that if he goes to the emperor in Kyoto, in the capital, that the emperor would give him permission to preach in whole of Japan, and that he would have a lot of success because he saw that the lot of a small domain, when he gave permission, he got the chance to convert a few people. If the upper lord of the country would give him permission, he thought he would be in a good position to convert a lot of Japanese. So he went to Kyoto, but that materialized not very well because Kyoto at the time was in the midst of warfare, so he didn't have the chance to meet with the emperor nor with the shogun.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Several years after the death of her father, Aveline learned from Gérald's expanded network of informants that a loyalist officer called Davidson of Lord Dunmore's Ethiopian Regiment would be able to unmask the elusive Templar known as the Company Man. Aveline headed north to New York to meet up with her local counterpart, an Assassin named Connor.
So afterwards, he went back from Kyoto. He got back to Hirado, where he put on very expensive clothes and then went again to the court of Ōuchi. And then he was received very well. He also gave a lot of presents, which he had brought from Portugal. And Ōuchi was very policed with that and gave permission for the Jesuits to preach their gospel in his domains.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Aveline and Connor tracked Davidson to a fort. Connor distracted the guards while Aveline found Davidson, who turned out to be George, the slave she had helped free years earlier. Aveline pursued George and prevented his escape. Before he died, he revealed that Aveline already knew the identity of the Company Man.
Xavier left in 1551, but soon there came more and more Jesuits.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>

So and Francis Xavier, the Jesuit priest, showed up in Japan at that time. He showed up in a city called Yamaguchi. And his theory was, I will go to Kyoto. I will convert the emperor to Catholicism. And then everybody else in the whole country will follow him. And he got to Kyoto. It was a complete wreck. It was sort of a burnt out ruin. He couldn't find the emperor. So he gave up.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


Aveline returned to her family's mansion and confronted her stepmother, Madeleine de L'Isle, otherwise known as the Company Man. Madeleine, in turn, revealed that she knew Aveline was an Assassin, and that the only reason Aveline still lived was to serve Madeleine's plans.


Aveline fled the mansion. Madeleine followed her to the courtyard and explained that she had manipulated Aveline into eliminating undesirable elements from the Templars as an invitation for her to leave the Assassins and join the Order.

Gaspar Vilela is one who stands out. He was a very keen propagator of the Christian faith, and he could convert some warlords to Christianity.

Agate's Pride
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


After confronting her stepmother, Madeleine de L'Isle, Aveline de Grandpré sought counsel from her estranged mentor, Agaté. However, believing that she had joined the Order, he attacked her. Aveline was victorious, but chose not to kill Agaté.
===[[Alessandro Valignano]]===
And then you have, of course, Valignano, which was the visitor, as he was called, to the Orient. So he was the head of all the actions in the Orient, and he spent a lot of time in Japan, because Japan was the place where the Jesuits thought they would have the best results.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Overwhelmed with guilt about failing his disciple, Agaté took his own life by leaping from his tree-top den.
He was the bodyguard of a Jesuit, the head Jesuit in Asia, essentially the head of the Christian church in Asia, a man called Alessandro Valignano. And Valignano was on a tour from Rome. He'd been sent by the Pope to tour the new missions in Asia and of course, Japan was the furthest of these missions.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>

Valignano himself, the visitor, the chief inspector of churches, if you like, was a big proponent of learning any language. He started the concept of Asian studies. Asian language studies in Europe were started by him. He was the person who insisted that his missionaries study Chinese, Japanese, various Indian languages, so it's conceivable that Yasuke had already started to learn Japanese before he arrived.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Aveline returned to New Orleans with Agaté's necklace as proof of his death. She returned to her stepmother Madeleine de L'Isle, head of the Templars in New Orleans. Aveline gave up the Prophecy Disk and declared that she was ready to join the Order.

he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Aveline attacked and killed the assembled leaders of the New Orleans Templars. After years of frustration, Aveline took her revenge for the murder of her father and the exile of her mother.
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>


After killing Madeline de L'Isle, Aveline took the Prophecy Disk and inserted her mother's pendant. The Disk activated and Aveline witnessed a cryptic message from members of the First Civilization.
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
</tabber>


===Ratonhnhaké:ton===
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>

Ratonhnhaké:ton's Birth
===[[Yasuke]]===
we know that he's from Africa, but we don't know for certain which parts of Africa, apart from that it would have been on the East Coast. The descriptions we have from Japanese descriptions are very much of somebody from what is now South Sudan, very tall, very black, very strong. Whereas there's a couple of sources which suggest he might have come from the Mozambique area. However, he doesn't fit the description very much of people from that region. There's also the full possibility that he could have been somehow trafficked from the South Sudan area down south and come through Mozambique as well.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


Haytham Kenway was sent by his London masters to North America with a mission to find a First Civilization Temple. To accomplish this, he gained the trust of Kaniehtí:io, a Kanien'kehá:ka woman, who revealed that the Precursor site he sought was considered sacred ground. Over the course of their partnership, they grew closer and conceived a child.
He arrived in May 1579 on a ship from Macau to get from Africa, whichever part of Africa it was to Macau and then to Japan. He'd already spent time in India. He'd spent time in Malacca in modern day Malaysia. And I think it was about six to nine months in Macau. He was the bodyguard of a Jesuit, the head Jesuit in Asia, essentially the head of the Christian church in Asia, a man called Alessandro Valignano. And Valignano was on a tour from Rome.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Shortly after showing him the site, Kaniehtí:io discovered Haytham's connections to the Templars and their desire to use the Precursor site to shape the world based on the Order's interests.
It's highly likely that he would have been Christian, at least on paper.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Stung by the betrayal, she kept her pregnancy a secret and ordered Haytham to leave. Despite knowing the father's affiliations, the villagers allowed Kaniehtí:io to raise her son in their community.
In those days, he was considered a giant<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>

Hide and Seek
Yasuke is recorded two years afterwards as having quite a good level of Japanese. [...] He [Valignano] was the person who insisted that his missionaries study Chinese, Japanese, various Indian languages, so it's conceivable that Yasuke had already started to learn Japanese before he arrived.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


When he was four years old, Ratonhnhaké:ton and his friends ventured into the woods outside their village. While playing hide and seek, he was grabbed and thrown to the ground by a stranger. Soon, he was surrounded by a group of Englishmen.
Another one, when getting to Miyako, which is now Kyoto, a huge mob literally surrounded the mission and almost pushed the mission down, throwing stones. There were dead people in the crowd outside. And at that point, Nobunaga, who was the most powerful warlord in Japan at the time, was five minutes walk away. He heard this huge hullaballo, which he liked. He heard what was going on. And he demanded to see who was disturbing the peace, demanded that this person be brought before him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Ratonhnhaké:ton tried to run, but the men stopped him. One of the group remarked that he looked familiar. The man then grabbed the boy by the throat and asked him questions, but he refused to answer. He insulted Ratonhnhaké:ton and his people, saying they were worthless and should surrender what they had if they knew what was good for them.
Somehow within a few days, Yasuke has entered Nobunaga's service. Within a month, he's gone to Nobunaga's castle town. There's another Jesuit record from there. And there's a Japanese record from there as well that says how much Nobunaga enjoyed talking to him, that he gave him a house, that he gave him a sword. And that's where the idea that he became a samurai comes into it.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Ratonhnhaké:ton demanded to know the name of his attacker, and the Templar Charles Lee identified himself before one of his men knocked the boy out.
There's another record of their first audience where Nobunaga gifts him what is essentially 30 kilos of coins. And you can imagine that as a kind of joke as well. Give the strong man 30 kilos worth of money and see if he can actually carry it. It doesn't say whether he carried it away on his own or not, but that was a lot of money.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>

A Mother's Death
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmaru took his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head. And the supposed last order is Yasuke save my head. Yasuke runs with the head to Nobunaga's son, who is probably about five to ten minutes walk away, very close, in a different temple. So about to be attacked. Also just putting up the defenses for a last ditch stand. Of course, that doesn't last very long. He's dead within the hour or so. And all we know from the Jesuit source, there are no more Japanese sources, all we know from the Jesuit source is that Yasuke was there at the last. He was one of the few survivors. He was taken prisoner. He surrendered his sword. And he was then escorted to the Jesuit mission, which was again only five minutes walk away. This is a very small area of Kyoto where all this happens. The Jesuits give thanks to God for his deliverance.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Shortly after his confrontation with the Englishmen, Ratonhnhaké:ton regained consciousness only to find the forest full of smoke. He immediately made his way back to his village, Kanatahséton, only to find it on fire.
===[[Hattori Hanzō]]===
Many of them [Iga warriors] went to work for a retainer of Tokugawa Iyasu who has become famous in kind of ninja lore, man by the name of Hattori Hanzo. And Hattori Hanzo had family ties to Iga. He's often referred to or portrayed as in pop culture as a ninja, but he was a samurai retainer, a warrior just like many of the warriors that fought for any of the Daimyo of this period. He appears in most of Tokugawa Iyasu's battles until Hanzo dies in 1590s. He is considered one of Tokugawa Iyasu's closest retainers, but because through his family ties, he had a knowledge base of these sort of unconventional guerilla tactics. He also had through those ties, the ability to kind of act as a landing place for many of these men of Iga. And so many of them went to work for Tokugawa Ieyasu under the command of Hattori Hanzo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


His mother, Kaniehtí:io, was trapped in a burning longhouse and though he tried his best, the young boy was unable to save her.
There's actually a gate of what is now the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, but underneath the Tokugawa Shoguns was the Shogun's Palace. One of the gates is named the Hanzo Mon, the Gate of Hanzo, the Hanzo Gate. And this is because Hattori Hanzo and the men of Iga that he recruited acted as a special guard force for the Tokugawa Shoguns.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


In the years that followed, Connor became convinced that Charles Lee was the man responsible for the destruction of his village and death of his mother.

Feathers and Trees
-->


Ratonhnhaké:ton, now a young man, had learned the ways of the forest and put his knowledge and skills to use for his village. He went out with his friend Kanen'tó:kon to find feathers for a ceremony by the Clan Mother, teaching him how to climb trees and move quickly through the forest on their boughs. He also showed Kanen'tó:kon how to hunt various animals such as hares, foxes, and deer for their meat and skins.

Ratonhnhaké:ton wondered why his village did not join the other native communities in pushing the outsiders out of their territory. The Clan Mother revealed that their village was built on sacred ground, and it was their duty to protect it and keep it hidden. She opened a box and revealed a sphere, which she handed to him.

The moment he touched it, Ratonhnhaké:ton experienced a vision. In it, an ethereal woman appeared to him and introduced herself as Juno, saying they were both now in a place called The Nexus. She transformed him into an eagle and guided him through a series of potential futures, not only of his village, but also of North America and the world. She warned that maintaining the status quo would not save anything, but instead would give the Templars time to master First Civilization technology and lay waste to the planet.

These visions instilled Ratonhnhaké:ton with a sense of personal responsibility to prevent the Templars from achieving their goals. The Clan Mother realized that to save their village from annihilation, she had no choice but to let the boy pursue his destiny. She advises him to go to the east and seek the symbol to find a man who had helped his mother.

Ratonhnhaké:ton asked Achilles to instruct him, but the old man wanted nothing to do with the boy and warned him against following the path of the Assassin. Undeterred by the refusal, Ratonhnhaké:ton camped out in the stables next to the mansion, where he was attacked by thieves. Achilles came to his aid and after killing the thieves, he allowed the boy inside his home to discuss his purpose.

Connor escaped Boston and made his way back to Achilles' homestead. Connor was so frustrated about having been abandoned by Achilles that he didn't realize the value of the experience he gained from his activities in the city. Connor was also upset that his father had been able to flee the scene without punishment.
Simple Sailor Clothing
Common
The basic garb Edward wore as part of the crew of the Jacobite.
|Found in underwater chest at 152, 629


Achilles talked Connor down and highlighted the importance of being patient before confronting Haytham and the Templars. Achilles then offered Connor the Hidden Blades, signature weapons of the Assassin.

Connor heard a noise outside Achilles' manor and opened the door to find a man named Godfrey. The frantic man, who had been calling for help, immediately started running towards the river. Godfrey explained to Connor that his partner Terry had fallen into the river while wrangling logs and was swept away by the current.
Theater Formalwear
Rare
Edward's best fit for a night at the theater.
|Found in underwater chest at 105, 27


Connor leapt into action, grabbed Terry, and pulled him out of the river. Afterwards, Connor asked both lumberjacks to come work on the manor which needed a lot of wood to restore it. Terry, Godfrey, and their wives settled near the manor and began to work on the renovations.

This was only the first of many tasks Connor would perform as the keeper of the Davenport Homestead. Colonial America was a harsh and dangerous place for settlers, and Connor found himself using his Assassin skills to rescue many of them. Several moved onto the homestead, either out of gratitude, business sense, or both; it was a safe area with many resources to harvest and prepare. Skilled craftsmen, farmers, and hunters were among those Connor invited to live on his mentor's land.

Achilles met Connor at the shoreline near his manor to show him the husk of an old, decrepit ship. They met with Robert Faulkner, who was obviously proud of the ship, and who said he could repair "her" if only he had some supplies. This flagship of the Assassin navy, named the Aquila, later became Connor's ship.
Golden Garments Outfit
Legendary
A splash of gilded resplendence for the more discerningly lascivious pirate captain.

Achilles also showed Connor a ledger representing the homestead's income and resources and taught him how to manage it all.

The Day the Templars Cried
Rustbound Skull
A corroded metal skull worn as a grim reminder of battles survived and debts unpaid. Its weight carries the quiet warning of a pirate who has looked death in the eye and sailed on.


After months of intense training in combat, philosophy, and naval tactics, Connor's mentor Achilles was content. He presented Connor with the traditional Assassin robes and gear and officially welcomed him into the Assassin Brotherhood.
Blue Medallion
Carried by travellers across bustling markets and distant frontiers, it hangs from your gear on every journey.


As a full member of the Brotherhood, it was now Connor's responsibility to confront the Templars. But first, he needed to uncover details regarding their involvement in North America's increasingly unstable political environment.

|High chance of gaining large amount of reales from killing animals
|Purchased from general store for 8000 escudos {{c|New Game+ only}}


Connor continued to train and hone his skills, knowing a confrontation with the Templars was fast approaching. One day, Achilles gave Connor a new weapon that had been left by an Assassin named Shao Jun.
Spirit Skull
|Rare
Rum tastes sweeter from this epic decanter.
|Reduces damage taken by Edward, and greatly increases the amount of healing from drink
|Purchased from general store for 12000 escudos {{c|New Game+ only}}


Before he could practice further with the rope darts, Connor received a surprise visit from a familiar face. His childhood friend, Kanen'tó:kon, was now a full-grown warrior and a leader of their home village.
Thatch's Hat
|Legendary
|''Some hellish thing from a fever dream. It looks fine.''
|Attacking after a Perfect Dodge sets enemy on fire

On the Davenport Homestead, Connor met an injured hunter named Myriam. She said she'd been attacked by poachers after she confronted them. After Connor brought her to Achilles for help, he went after the poachers using his rope darts. He eliminated them, then invited Myriam to live on the homestead. She agreed, and began to supply furs and other goods to the growing community.

While walking the streets of Boston, Connor once again took notice of the chaos in the city as citizens protested the current state of affairs in which the British could compel them to board soldiers or provide supplies for little or no recompense.

Taxes and Tea


Connor and Samuel Adams discussed the unrest in Boston. The tension started when new taxes were raised against the colonies, in particular a high tax imposed on British tea. The citizens found the taxes unfair and began to fight back against the Redcoats who were charged with enforcing British law.


Connor helped the colonists fight the tax collectors. In particular, Connor helped Stéphane Chapheau, a Boston militiaman who worked at William Molineaux's restaurant. Connor was disturbed by the tax collectors' violent actions, and did not hesitate to oppose them.

The Assassins also discovered that the Templar William Johnson was taking advantage of the high price of tea and colonial boycotts of British products to engage in a lucrative tea smuggling operation. Connor was convinced that Johnson was using the tea smuggling revenue to purchase the land under his home village.

Connor, along with Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty, vowed to put an end to it. Exploring the docks, Connor located three smuggling operations and destroyed their stockpiles of tea.

The Angry Chef


Connor returned to Molineaux's restaurant, only to find Samuel Adams missing and Chapheau complaining he'd been robbed. He followed Chapheau around Boston while the chef riled up people against the injustices committed by the British.


Connor tried to calm him, but the chef was furious. The Assassin had to defend him as he rampaged through the streets and picked fights with Redcoats. Finally, he managed to teach Chapheau to control his rage and choose his targets carefully. After successfully assassinating a man working for Johnson, the chef agreed to join Connor in his cause. He would be one of many recruits Connor would bring to the side of the Assassins.

The Tea Party


Connor continued to search for his ally Sam Adams. He eventually made his way to the Old South Meeting House, where he overheard Bostonians discuss returning tea to Great Britain to avoid paying the high taxes placed upon the product. The resentment from the citizens was growing, as was their willingness to physically resist the British.

information before he would assist with his plans. Adams proudly explained that by dumping British tea in Boston harbor, Connor would not only be aiding the cause of liberty, but also depriving Johnson of his source of revenue and keeping him from purchasing Connor's home village. Adams suggested that Connor lead the "party" to keep them out of trouble, and Connor agreed.

Connor and his allies approached three ships anchored in the harbor and loaded with tea: the Beaver, the Eleanor, and the Dartmouth. Connor dispatched the guards, allowing his allies onboard to begin their work. They smashed three hundred and forty chests of British East India Company tea, and dumped approximately forty-six tons of it into the water. Redcoats arrived, and Connor defended his allies (in particular Paul Revere and William Molineaux) as they destroyed the tea. They saved the last crate for him, which he dropped in the water as Templars William Johnson, John Pitcairn, and Charles Lee looked on.

After the Boston Tea Party, Connor reported back to Achilles. He assumed Connor had killed William Johnson, and was disappointed to hear otherwise. Connor believed that by destroying Johnson's tea smuggling operation, he had stopped the Templars' ability to buy indigenous lands, including his home village. However, by sparing Johnson's life, he gave the Templars a chance to create other sources of income and continue their plans.

Ultimately, Connor realized that his only chance to stop the purchase of his village was to kill Johnson.

They accused Johnson of lying, saying he did not provide the support he promised. Johnson announced he'd tried to solve things peacefully, before telling his armed guards to attack his visitors. Connor assassinated Johnson, who declared with his dying breath that he was only trying to stop more violence.

Once the last of Church's escort had been disposed of, the Aquila was able to close, allowing Connor and Haytham to lead a party on board.

Animus memory notes[edit | edit source]

Always at the end of the current memory

  • Firm in her belief and confident that she can put an end to the machinations of her enemies, Aveline disobeys Agaté and boards a slave ship bound to an unknown location. This decision further strays their relationship.
  • With de Ferrer dead and the slave colony free, Aveline travels back to New Orleans. Upon her return, she finds a world very different than the one she had left. Yet, the identity of the Company Man remains a mystery.

[@#]Deciphering clues left behind by her long lost mother lead Aveline to a cenote's entrance where her treasure hunt begins. [@#]After discovering a plot to force her mentor out of hiding, Aveline journeys to the bayou, determined to win back Agaté's trust and refusing to give up on the Brotherhood. [@#]The documents found aboard the Spanish ship contained orders to travel to Chichen Itza and reclaim the worksite. Fearing for her mother's safety – and perhaps hoping to find the second half of the Prophecy Disk – Aveline returns to Chichen Itza. [@#]Having secured the second part of the Prophecy Disk, Aveline travels back to New Orleans to continue her search for Vázquez, the man she believes is the Company Man. [@#]Despite her father's ill health, Aveline continues her search for the man called Vázquez. [@#]George Davidson gave just enough clues as to the identity of the Company Man. It is with a heavy heart that Aveline returns home. [@#]Following a confrontation with the Company Man, Madeleine de L'Isle – her beloved stepmother – Aveline finds herself confused and alone. She journeys to the bayou to seek Agaté's counsel, and test her own faith in the Brotherhood. [@#]Agaté's failure as an Assassin and his lack of trust in Aveline leaves her completely adrift. She returns to Madeleine, ready to embrace her stepmother’s cause.

It will make the living glorious sun his obedient, toiling slave.

It will bring peace and harmony to earth.

Dear Mr. Morgan:

A serious matter has come to my attention. Nikola Tesla plans to use PE4 to create an information network across the entire world. And if that weren't bad enough, he intends to allow access to it for free! Imagine the masses spreading knowledge amongst themselves instantaneously. That would make everything we intend to do much more difficult.

You must cut all funds for his experimetns at once! In case you get cold feet, I'll have you know he wants to make electricity free as well, thereby putting us out of business.

I've already begun slandering Tesla in the press. Just reallocate his funding, and I'll take care of PE4 myself.

Sincerely yours,

Edison, creator of DC electricity, accuses Tesla's AC current of electrocution! J.P. Morgan revokes funding for Tesla's Wardenclyfe Project! Edison creates "electric chair" to prove danger of AC current! [Image of world with 14 lit lightbulbs] [Destroy them]

Dear Mr. Edison,

I wanted to thank you for letting me make use of PE4 all these years. Among several things, I was able to convince the workers I was raising their pay to $5 a day, when, in fact, I gave them a pay cut. But, I had to let PE4 go. As per instructions, I've shipped it to Europe.

H. has it, so I assume the war will begin as soon as he can take over. We'll let him have his fun (Lord knows, that kind of purge will be good for Europe) and then end it with a bang, as planned. Out of the chaos of war a new order will emerge! I've enclosed a picture from Florida of you, me and Firestone. We should attempt to spend more time on the golf course this summer.

Yours,

SUBJECT: Test Authorization

There comes a time in the life of every experiment when we must test our results outside, in the world. I do not relish a successful outcome, but one is essential if we are to begin the foundations of a new world order.

Global security and prosperity depend on a steady hand guiding the populace, a hand that will not falter under the weight of conscience. Give O. the authorization.

I believe that history will vindicate us in the end.

Nikola,

We know what they have done to your lab, to your career. It may be too late to set things right, but you can help prevent something far worse. They have taken an object from the Czar, and are conducting experiments in Tunguska to figure out how to use it. Before they do, we must take it from them, or the world will be in danger. We do not ask you to risk your life, just that, when the time comes, you use your electricity to destroy the object.

Regardless of your decision, know that we admire your work greatly and will bear you no ill will.

We respect your freedom above all else.

ISSUE 1, JANUARY, 2012

The scientific community is abuzz as the results of a new neurological study were made public today. What seemed to be big news in itself -- that Dr. Yijie Wu and Dr. P. J. Traunero had discovered a new neurotransmitter -- turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg.

To quote Dr. Wu, "Using a prototype dMRI machine, we've been able to examine the contents of an actual neuron in living tissue. We've found a substance that appears to be an undiscovered neurotransmitter."

"(Here's) where it gets crazy. To test our findings, we subjected the neuron to all kinds of stimuli, but we couldn't get it to release the transmitter. So, we've discovered an entire mechanism: there are vesicles filled with neurotransmitter lying dormant and corresponding ion channels, all for no discernable purpose."

Expressing bafflement that natural selection would create an unnecessary neurotransmitter, Wu and Traunero searched for a predecessor in other species, with no luck.

"Whatever this bugger is used for, it evolved in humans," Traunero told the press.

I'm writing in response to your concerns about the rising alarm in the press and the scientific community. The lack of a transitional ancestor from archaic hominids to modern mankind (Homo Sapiens) is no longer safe. As you wrote, we have to act.

We can't let the truth get out, they'll find out about the artifacts. It will cause too much disruption, too much chaos. Bury our constructed skeletons near Tim White's expedition in Ethiopia. We'll give them their missing link.

Fellows, rulers, welcome.

I deliver this speech to you as, several floors below us, a silent revolution begins.

Ranny Olds and Henry Ford. As many of you know, these founders gave us the assembly line, the device we have used to control both (those indoctrinated into the worship of our money (?)) capitalists and workers (slaves (?)) alike. But I dream of a future in which such ugly chains will no longer be necessary. In 1910, our founders designed the Plan, it falls to us to see it through.

But, what of the Communists, who intend to spread the bread so thin that everyone will starve? It is our duty to (neutralize (?)) save them and their followers. We must ensure that they continue to eat, to reproduce, to be productive members of society. That is our burden, to shepherd those beneath us through life, and we must embrace it, even if (force is required (?)) they themselves do not.

SUBJECT: South America

If we are to ensure the Company's success, Company agents must be able to move freely from country to country and maintain power within all of them. A global internatinal order must be implemented.

Re: Argentina

Tell the Capitalists that if they help ensure the Junta remain in power, we will pass all their corporate debt on to the Argentine people. That will ensure they crush any popular revolt. I want the trade unions destroyed if we are to move forward.

Re: Chile

The free market must be allowed to prevail. F's visit last year helped things along, but now all public companies need to be sold to the private sector, ideally on the cheap. The price of bread and other staples must rise. I want to ensure the people remain marred in poverty an unable to resist.

Any traces of this plan should appear to implicate the U.S. government. The Company's involvement must remain hidden.

For successful examples of a similar opening of the markets, look no further than the 1953 liberation of Iran and the 1954 liberation of Guatemala.

Mr. Yeltsin,

I am writing this letter to encourage you to act. One rarely finds oneself in such an oppertune position. Gorbachev does not have our interests at heart. He is moving far too slowly to privatize, and my deep fear is that he has no intention of doing so at all. I understand that you have expressed similar concerns. With that in mind, here is a proposal to remedy the situation.

Several of my top advisors at the Company maintain a monetary connection with the Communist old guard. They tell me that a riot might easily be incited while Gorbachev is away. If you were to repel an attempt to seize parliament in front of the media, it could very well tip the scales of power in your favor.

Telephone me at No. 10 and we shall talk further.

RE: Privatization

S.

I have convinced Sandra to join the majority opinion. The enticement of retirement under a Republican president tipped the scales. Although the ruling will differ from our previous decisions on Equal Protection, it will not call attention to our actual goals. With Sandra gone, we can pave the way for the key majority member of the Order to be seated. As discussed, W. will prove the perfect distraction. I have no doubt he will restart animosities with Iraq. Let him, it will give C.'s contractors more work. When the time comes, I will make sure W. is given Roberts' name.

With Roberts on the court, it will only be a matter of waiting for the right case. After the destruction of Campaign Finance laws, the Company will be free to elect anyone they choose to the Senate, the House and, eventually, the Presidency.

Soon, our hopes will be realized. Government will no longer derive its authority from the people, but from us, their protectors.

Dear S.,

Research has progressed far more rapidly than expected. We already have a working prototype capable of mimicking P.O.E. capabilities across a network, albeit at far lower intensity. Testing will commence locally on Subject 4 between his Animus sessions, as per our plan. If all goes well, deployment will occur worldwide.

Your dream is about to become a reality. Soon, capitalists and workers will be locked in a closed loop that is safe and prosperous for humanity. No more war, only desks, cars and TV sets. We will protect them and keep them safe, forever.

Abnormal Brain Activity Discovered in Children, Aged 3 Months to 18-Years-Old and Adults, Aged 19-30.

Abstract

Several recent studies conducted by internal marketing teams revealed that: "Entertainment sales are dropping, protests are mounting. The economy is in turmoil. All market research indicates that the system should be stabilizing, but, instead, we're seeing the opposite."(1) In response, our team set out to discover the cause of the declining efficacy of Abstergo's control methods.

Past studies of bilateral brain activation during television, film and video game use have shown the characteristic ARAS patterns induced by Abstergo's signal patterns. Our study was conducted on a range of test subjects (30 subjects, aged +-10 to +-30), who viewed TV programs while resting-state fMRI scans were conducted.

In contrast to previous studies, 80% of test subjects showed heightened cortical brain activity. Detailed scans using our prototype dMRI machine revealed an increased rate of neuronal development (+- 30% over that of older age groups). Such a marked increase does not fit Darwinian models. Further studies are required to define the ultimate outcome of this abnormal evolution.

Abstergo top secret
January, 2012 [amplitude puzzle]

  • Man: If you are playing this tape, it means I have left this world, and I have left this grand enterprise, Abstergo Industries, our great hope for humanity, to you. Don't trust the advisors around you. They are too enamoured with surface, with lifestyle. We created capitalism, but we are not capitalists. Our purpose is noble. The crude system of control we enact through money is merely a bandage on a wound we have devoted our lives to treating. The people of this world are confused, lost, frightened and incapable of independent productivity. Without us, they'd just be animals, slaves to the Others, who did not deserve such responsibility. We saved them, remember that. But enough about the past. I must warn you of the great crisis to come. Although those around you deny it, soon we will be unable to manufacture new markets. The people will become immune to our economists and entertainment. When the free market dies, they will turn against us. Therefore, do not delay. By now you have been shown what only the Grand Masters of our Order have seen. Now you know why Abstergo, why all of it had to be. And now you know what you must do. Stay the course. We will give them freedom. Freedom from fear, freedom from pornography, from disgusting, base animal desire. Freedom from democracy. Humanity will thank us in the end. In Hoc Signo Vinces.
