Heralds

Italy

This killer stains the very stone of our city with his presence! Surely, God will be displeased with us, should we fail to strike him down!

Constantinople

It is the duty of all loyal citizens to collaborate with the stewards of Byzantium, to bring them to a swift end!

There is a vile, infernal Assassin plague walking among us! Terror spreas throughout the city! The terror of madness and death!

Do not be deceived by these voices seeking to justify their acts! They are nothing but cold killers, reveling only in death!

Leonardo conversations

• Leonardo: Back for more designs, again?
• Leonardo: Bene. I will return shortly.
  Wait here. I will be back soon.

Leonardo produced a second Hidden Blade for Ezio.

• Ezio: I can kill double the guards.

Leonardo produced a climb leap glove for Ezio.

• Ezio: Now nothing will be out of my reach.

Leonardo produced a poison dart launcher for Ezio.

• Ezio: Just a small sting, and my enemies will fall.
• Leonardo: If you decide to buy something, look for the chalk outline on benches.

The Banker

• Leonardo: Ezio! I just hear the most wonderful news. Cesare's banker has been killed. It seems Cesare's battle funds are in shambles.
• Ezio: What a surprise.
• Leonardo: You did not have anything to do with this, did you?
• Ezio: Do you really want to know?
• Leonardo: On second thought, let's stick with the inventions.

Baron de Valois

• Leonardo: Ezio. The French are pulling out of Roma! The Baron Valois was found murdered within his own camp.
• Ezio: Could it have been an Assassin?
• Leonardo: There are rumors which favor such a theory.
• Ezio: Never listen to gossip, Leonardo. It could get you into trouble.
• Leonardo: Good advice.

Pietro

• Leonardo: Strange news, Ezio. Did you hear Pietro, Lucrezia's lover, fled the city after being poisoned by Micheletto at the Colosseum passion play?
• Ezio: No. But... was he saved by a hooded man?
• Leonardo: You daring figlio d'un cane (son of a bitch).
• Ezio: Shhh. I heard nothing, remember?

Papal turmoil

• Leonardo: Ezio. The papal apartments are in turmoil. Cesare is ill and the Pope, dead. It was your doing, was it not?
• Ezio: Leonardo, I swear to you, he did not die by my hand.
• Leonardo: This world gets stranger every day. I shall have to focus on my painting. I work on the small portrait of a woman. I am growing rather fond of it.
• Ezio: Do not let a beautiful girl distract you from constructing my designs.
• Leonardo: Have no worries. Women provide little distraction.

Leonardo put his hand on Ezio's back.

• Ezio: Wait, I don't get it.

Embarassed, Leonardo took his hand away.

AC Origins memories

Fall of an Empire, Rise of Another was a virtual representation of one of Aya's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.

Description

Aya set sail for Rome to assassinate Lucius Septimius and Julius Caesar.

Dialogue

As Aya looked at Bayek's Medjay badge aboard her ship, she was approached by Damastes.

• Damastes: Is that for Phoxidas? A gift?
• Aya: No, it's a relic. I don't want to talk about it, Damastes.
• Damastes: Isn't that Bayek's? Let me have it, I'll give it to Phoxidas myself. He loves these things.

Damastes took the badge, but Aya drew a knife and knocked it out of his hand, and then held the knife to Damastes' throat.

• Aya: I'll kill you. How about that? I'm in no mood for compromise today.

Damastes ran off.

• Phoxidas: We passed Neapolis in the crack of morning. With strong winds, you'll be standing in Rome's Forum in two days' time. It's over between you and Bayek, eh? I can feel... no decision is easy. But you are a chosen one. And now you're free. Like me.
• Aya: So begins a new day.

Aya looked at the badge one last time before throwing it in the sea. She then took the helm with Phoxidas and sailed forth with a group of ships.

• Phoxidas: Hm. A Roman fleet up ahead. Do you see?
• Aya: Don't drop your guard entirely. We should assume they're expecting us.
• Phoxidas: You sound thrilled about it.
• Aya: Eager, old man. Eager to be done with the scum. And move on to the next pile of scum.
• Phoxidas: Infinite scum. Such is the world we live in.

Flares were shot, and a fleet of Roman ships approached.

• Phoxidas: We have been spotted!
• Aya: Those flares will summon their navy!
• Phoxidas: Prepare yourselves!
• Aya: Here they come!
  Forward, men! Litter the sea with their shattered hulls!
• Phoxidas: Strike oars! Al-la-la-la-la!
  Ah, the songs they will sing about us when this day is out!
• Aya: If that happens, Phoxidas, I will wear seaweed like a siren and sing them myself.
• Phoxidas: I'll hold you to that!
• Aya: Believe me, you would be sorry. Now let's end this!
• Phoxidas: Ha ha! Another down!
  There is only one more left for the abyss!

The Roman ships were sunk.

• Phoxidas: They set fireships upon us!
• Aya: Gods. Out fleet is too tightly formed! They'll hit us!
• Phoxidas: We are overwhelmed! These hellships are too many!
• Aya: We must sink them before they reach us! They'll doom us if they strike us! Take them down!

Aya sank the fireships, but a pair of octaremes approached.

• Phoxidas: More fireships close! By the gods, they're everywhere!
  Fireships left!

Aya sank the remaining fireships.

• Phoxidas: Poseidon help us, it's an armada!
• Aya: Do we have the firepower to deal with this?
• Phoxidas: I can't see how! With out fleet dispersed and our allies gone, we're undone!
• Aya: Man up, you old salt-lick! Save your bloody ship!

Yet more Roman ships approached.

• Phoxidas: Blast! Jove's pissing on our heads from the top of Olympus!
• Aya: No, no! It's Brutus and Cassius! Look!
• Phoxidas: And our catapults with them! Put them to use! Brace! Men! Don't fear this beast. She's a great and girthy whale, but we'll dance around her bulk like minnows in a pond!
• Aya: You weren't a poet in your youth, were you, Phoxidas?
• Phoxidas: Oho! I should have been, I think! A philosopher, too. Ah, what we should have been! A million things, fair Aya!
• Aya: You must write your memoirs one day!
• Phoxidas: I may just do! And if you'll promise to sneak one copy into the Library, our legend will live on! Surely this chapter will be the most widely read of all!

With the help of the newly-arrived allied ships, Aya was able to sink the octaremes.

• Aya: Let it rain! Down, you demons! Into the sea!
• Phoxidas: Heyo, slackers! Form up with the rest! Today we sail together.
• Aya: What port are you taking us to?
• Phoxidas: There is a town called Antium I'd like to try. Lots of merchants sail in and out of there. Should be safe for you. From there it's a half day's ride to Rome.

Two years later, Aya met with Brutus and Cassius in the Theatre of Pompey.

• Aya: It is only a matter of days before Caesar will officially become a tyrant.
• Cassius: There he is.

They spotted Caesar at the other end of the theatre with Septimius at his side.

• Septimius: The people love you, Caesar. You're a god.
• Caesar: The Senate will not bow so easily.
• Septimius: That parliament of clucking hens? Let me be your wolf.

Caesar nodded and left.

• Aya: Go. Do nothing until I give the signal.

As Brutus and Cassius left, Septimius sent his two guards against Aya, who swiftly killed them. She then faced off against Septimius in a duel.

• Aya: So Caesar is the King of the Order now?
• Septimius: Caesar is the Father of Understanding.
• Aya: You and Caesar will die.
• Septimius: You are meddling with the affairs of the Order. The Order is greater than Rome. Go back to Egypt, with the rest of the liars and slaves.
• Aya: Ha, you make me understand why murder is just.
• Septimius: I command armies! I control greatness!
• Aya: I will erase your Order from the annals.
• Septimius: Kneel to Caesar, kneel to Rome. It feels good to side with winners. We are the writers of history!
• Aya: Caesar will follow you to oblivion.
• Septimius: Your son pissed himself when he saw the knife.
• Aya: I will feed your heart to vultures. You have no honor. You stole everything from me!
• Septimius: I am a Gabiniani! I thought you would scurry away, little one. You should have taken your chance to drop off the map.
• Aya: Flavius isn't here to save you this time, Septimius. No Roman deals will be made.

Aya defeated Septimius. In the latter's final moments, she looked at apparitions of members of the Order of the Ancients.

• Septimius: Damn you, lupa (she-wolf)!
• Aya: My son's heart. For your life.
• Septimius: Was revenge everything you hoped? You and the Medjay shall drench the sheets with your sweat tonight.

Septimius laughed with the members of the Order, but Aya drew a knife to his gut.

• Aya: The Staff...
• Septimius: With the Order. I served them and your beloved Egypt. And I'll be rewarded in the afterlife. An eternity of drinking and whoring with my brothers.
• Aya: The only thing that waits for you is oblivion. For your name, your Order and the rotting corpses of your Gabiniani!

Aya slit Septimius' throat and drenched a feather with his blood.

• Aya: Apep devour your fetid heart.

Aya made her way to the senators and Caesar.

• Aya: Caesar must be in the Curia, with the rest of the Senate.

Aya reached the Curia and put on a senator's robe fashioned into a hooded cape.

• Caesar: I ask only this... that you join with me in building a new Rome.
• Cassius: A Rome with you as king?
• Senator 1: Let Caesar speak!
• Brutus: We want a Rome that offers justice, peace and land to all its citizens, not just the privileged few!
• Caesar: You are just as pri
• Caesar:
• Caesar:
• Caesar:
• Caesar:
• Caesar:
• Caesar:

Outcome

Aya killed Septimius and Caesar, bringing a temporary end to the machinations of the Order of the Ancients.
