Benedicto (died 1492) was the Mentor of the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins during the Reconquista.
Biography
Around the time of the Granada War, Benedicto took steps to protect the young Prince Ahmed, son of his ally Sultan Muhammad XII of Granada, having the boy hidden in a village by another friend of the Brotherhood, Diego.[1]
Benedicto later took Aguilar de Nerha under his wing after the boy's Assassin parents were burned at the stake by the Inquisition, training the younger man and teaching him the Creed.[2]
In 1489, he tasked María with aiding Ezio Auditore and other visiting members from the Italian Brotherhood[3] in their search[4] for an Apple of Eden that had been stolen shortly after the Battle of Forlì.[5]
In 1492, Benedicto presided over Aguilar's formal induction into the Brotherhood. Later that year, he lead a team of Assassins in an attempt to prevent the capture of Ahmed by the Templars, who wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to obtain another Apple of Eden entrusted to Muhammad XII by the Assassins. However, the mission failed, and he was captured alongside Aguilar and María. Benedicto was eventually brought to Seville with his apprentices, where he was branded a heretic by Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada before being burned at the stake.[2]
