Madrid is the capital and largest city of Spain.
History
Renaissance
In the late 15th century, the city was home to Cristoval de Merlo, a treasurer for the Inquisition. In 1489, the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins entered the city in search of a painting from a set created by Leonardo da Vinci that had been inadvertently gambled away by their associate, Jaime del Rada. The paintings were obtained by the Inquisition captain Diego de Burgos, who separated them and gave one to each of his underlings. Among those people was Cristoval, who kept the painting deep underground beneath the city slums for safekeeping until it was recovered by the Assassins.[1]
In 1511, Grand Inquisitor Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, the successor of Tomás de Torquemada, persecuted Spanish Assassins for crimes unrelated to their activities. Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by Ezio Auditore da Firenze sought out the culprits in the city and killed them. The Templar presence in Madrid was ousted entirely as the Assassins wrested control of the city, establishing Dens from which they would engage in activities to help revitalize and develop the city.[2]
Modern times
By the 21st century, the Templars had long since re-established themselves in Madrid through their megacorporation Abstergo Industries.[3] The Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center, overseen by Alan Rikkin and his daughter Sofia, was located in the city. The facility was eventually destroyed during a riot instigated by its prisoners in late 2016, though not before it had served its purpose of helping the Templars locate Aguilar's Apple of Eden.[4]
In November 2017, at their home in Madrid, Abstergo technicians and former Templar members Alice Adler and Thomas Adler tried to find a missing Apple of Eden by putting a restrained Maxime Gorm with amnesia into their own Animus.[5][6] They knew Maxime was the grandson of the British Assassin Eddie Gorm, who had come into contact with the Apple during World War II. Personally, they also studied the Bleeding Effect on Gorm in order to help their daughter Elisa Adler, who was also inflicted with amnesia. However, their experiment proved unsuccessful.[7]
Right after their experiment ended, Alice and Thomas were surprised by their daughter and her specialist, Dr. Florent Carpentier, in their home. To make matters worse, a freed Maxime soon made himself known to the group. Dr. Carpentier revealed himself to be the Assassin Tomo Sakagawa and tried to kill Gorm, but failed and was wounded when his target instead stabbed him in the eye with a knife. During the altercation, Alice and Thomas were killed, prompting Elisa to escape with Maxime.[7] Not long after, a group of Assassins led by Hajime Shimada arrived on the scene and found the injured Tomo, taking him away to be treated.[8]
