Revision as of 07:51, 17 July 2009

Maria is the steward (and possibly lover or daughter) of the Templar, Robert de Sable.

Altaïr confronts Maria after defeating her; this is where he learns her true identity.

Robert foresees his assassination. Eight of his comrades are dead. Sure his assassination is planned to occur at an outdoor event in Jerusalem, he leaves Maria to impersonate him and flees to Arsuf. Sure enough, Altaïr comes, and a great swordfight ensues. Maria, impersonating Robert, is a surprisingly excellent fighter, but Altaïr defeats her. When he realizes that it is not Robert, but a woman, he spares her life and hurries to Arsuf to finish Robert once and for all. What happens to her afterwards is unknown.

There is no information about her before or after the ambush, however she seemed to be of a high rank in the Knights Templar noting that she was able to match Altaïr's sword skills and that she'd be chosen for such an important mission. She also hints that she knows about the piece of Eden, which leaves speculations that she might actually be a lover or daughter of Robert De Sable. This would help explain the reason as to why a girl would be allowed such a high place in the Templars. There are further speculations that letting her go may have been a massive mistake by Altaïr, for with her leadership and possible knowledge of the Pieces of Eden, she may have re-established the Templars after Altaïr's obliteration of their ranks and slaying of their leaders.

+'''Maria''' is the steward (and possibly lover or daughter) of the [[Knights Templar|Templar]], [[Robert de Sable]].
-'''Maria''' is the steward (and possibly lover) of [[Knights Templar|Templar]] [[Robert de Sable]]. Maria was born in Great Britain. Always somewhat tomboyish in her youth, Maria's childhood ambition was to be a knight, seeking honor and glory in the Crusades. Instead, her parents forced her to marry a noble who she did not love. A year later, Maria turned her back on her husband to sail for the Holy Land. Disguising herself as a teenage boy, she quickly rose to prominence amongst the Crusaders, earning the attention of Robert de Sable. Robert quickly discovered her true gender, but instead of executing her, he appointed her as his steward. Facing acceptance for the the first time in her life, Maria grew to love Robert, willing to sacrifice her own life to protect him if necessary.

-When [[Altaïr|Altaïr Ibn La'Ahad]] arrives in [[Jerusalem]] to assassinate Robert, he finds Maria waiting for him in his place, in order to give Robert time to escape to the Arsuf Plains. There is no information about her before or after the ambush, however she seemed to be of a high rank in the Templar Knights noting that she was able to match Altaïr's sword skills and that she'd be chosen for such an important mission. She also hints that she knows about the piece of Eden, which leaves speculations that she might actually be a girlfriend/wife or daughter of Robert De Sable. This would help explain the reason as to why a girl would be aloud such a high place in the Templar's. There are speculations that letting her go was a massive mistake by Altaïr and she was the reason that the Templar's were able to re-establish themselves with her leadership and knowledge of the special relics up to the point in the future events of the game. As Maria was not his target, Altaïr spares her life. She promptly flees to the dark alleys of the city. What happens to her afterwards is unknown.
