"It's Krete, a land of mysteries and heroes. Thesus and the Minotaur!"
Barnabas to Kassandra, c. 420s BCE[src]

Crete, alternatively Krete, is the largest island of Greece and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.

History

In 44 BCE, sometime after the assassination of Julius Caesar, the Hidden One, Marcus Junius Brutus, departed for Crete from Rome. In the years leading up to his death, Brutus worked to eliminate tyrants on the island.[1]

In 1510, the Assassin, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, stopped off at Crete during his voyage to Masyaf.[2]

The island was used by the Templar Order as a headquarters many times across the centuries. During the Seven Years' War, Shay Cormac sent some agents of his fleet to the island to depart for nearby kingdoms. They recovered the Minoan Bull-Leaping Fresco.[3]
