Biography

Early life

Ignacio was raised just outside of Seville. As an adult, he traveled to the Americas and across Europe, wanting to do something to bring justice to the world. At some point, Ignacio became an Assassin and returned to Spain.

Participating in the Spanish Civil War

When the Spanish Civil War broke out, Ignacio joined the Anarchist movement and supported Buenaventura Durruti, continuing to wear the colors of the Anarchists even after Durruti's death. In April, 1937, Ignacio accompanied a group of Spanish Republicans as they made their way to Barcelona. While still a day away from the city, the group set up camp in the wilderness in order to rest.

That night, while sitting around a campfire, Ignacio's companions questioned him about whether his loyalty lied with the Assassins or with them, remarking that since Ignacio and another unidentified American individual were Assassins, it was hard to believe that their presence in the war did not serve some other agenda. However, Ignacio assured them that, although he was an Assassin, he was a Spaniard first.

Shortly after, a member of their group was shot in the head by unknown assailants. Realizing that the assailants were shooting at them from the hills. Ignacio and his group ran up a hill towards them. As he pushed one of the assailants to the ground and prepared to assassinate him, Ignacio realized that the boy and the other assailants were not fascists, but Republicans as well. After Ignacio yelled at everyone to stop firing, the boy told him that they had seen the lights down the hill and had mistaken them for Nationalists, prompting Ignacio to berate them for killing one of their own.

At some point during the war, Ignacio met and fought alongside Albert Bolden, who had formerly operated as the Black Cross of the Templar Order.

Legacy

In 2017, Ignacio's descendant, Charlotte de la Cruz, relived his memories in an effort to locate the Koh-i-Noor, which was believed to have been located in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
