History[edit | edit source]
In 1552, the missionary and Spanish Templar Francis Xavier arrived on the island as a stopover to China, where he had hoped to spread the Jesuit doctrine, but not only was he robbed of most of his possessions, he was also unable to find anyone willing to transport him and his missionaries to the mainland. Xavier was soon tracked down by two groups, Chinese Assassins led by Shao Jun and a contingent of Knights from the Order of Saint Benedict of Aviz led by the Portuguese Templar João Machado, both seeking the Precursor box in his possession.[2]
Although Xavier had managed to find sanctuary at a small chapel on the island, he and his missionaries were killed by Machado's knights and the relic was taken to their ship. While the Templars' ship remained at port it was attacked by a junk, possibly belonging to pirates or to the Ming military, allowing the Assassins an opportunity to recover the box.[2]
