History
In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés led an expedition to Mexico. The Assassin Giovanni Borgia accompanied the Spaniards, posing as a chronicler in order to find a Piece of Eden. The group of explorers sailed to Tenochtitlan, where they used translators to communicate with the local Aztecs upon their arrival in 1520. The Aztecs and their leader Moctezuma welcomed the Spaniards into their home, believing them to be gods.[1]
When the Spanish explorers grew greedy of the Aztecs' abundance of gold, and disgusted on the demonstration of a human sacrifice, a conflict between the two groups arose, known as the Night of Sorrows - giving Giovanni the opportunity to assassinate an Aztec priest and take their Crystal Skull. The Spaniards escaped Tenochtitlan, at the life of Moctezuma, and fled back to Spain.[1]
By 1759, the Templars had established a working colony in the former Mayan city of Chichen Itza, attempting to uncover artifacts from the ancient First Civilization ruins in the area. In 1769, the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré visited the colony and recovered one half of the Prophecy Disk from the ruins, while also assassinating the colony's overseer and the Templar Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer. Aveline returned in 1772, when she recovered the second half of the Prophecy Disk from another First Civilization ruin.[2]
On 7 September 2012, the President of Mexico promised to tighten Mexico's border security after an increase of illegal American immigrants into the country. Despite the larger number of troops that would be stationed along the border, fighting between the immigrants and Mexican troops left 300 dead and 1000 wounded over the course of six months.[3]
