Biography
Wei Yu was a member of the Chinese Assassins guild during the Qin Dynasty, which was ruled by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, a tyrant who oppressed the people of China. In order to protect the people, the land had to be freed of the Emperor.[1]
On September 10, 210 BC, during one of the Emperor's Eastern China tours, Wei Yu supposedly struck the Emperor with his spear, thus killing him. His death, however, was blamed on the mercury pills that the Emperor took, which would supposedly make him immortal.[1]
By the time of the Renaissance, Wei Yu's sarcophagus was moved to San Gimignano, Italy, on the top floor of the Torre Grossa. The Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze would explore his tomb and take the hidden seal from inside the sarcophagus, which would help him to obtain Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's armor.[1]
