- "Behold the prince of Granada! His father, the sultan, will surrender his rebellious city - the last safe haven for the infidels! God will punish His people's heresy. Finally, Spain will be under one Templar rule."
- ―Ramirez moments before his death, 1492.[src]
General Ramirez (died 1492) was a member of the Templar Order during the Reconquista. His gift for strategy and military skills made him a valuable servant of Master Templar Tomás de Torquemada.
History
In 1492, Ramirez, joined by Torquemada's enforcer Ojeda, led a company to a remote village, having received intelligence that prince Ahmed of Granada was supposedly being sheltered there. The information turned out to be correct, as they found the prince hidden in one of the residences.[1]
As his men locked the young prince into a cage, Ramirez addressed the inhabitants of the village, claiming that, with the capture of the prince, sultan Muhammad XII of Granada would surrender, leading Spain to be united under the Templars' rule. Not a moment later, Aguilar de Nerha leapt upon the general from a nearby rooftop and assassinated him with his Hidden Blade, commencing the Spanish Assassins' attempted rescue of the prince.[1] before joining the battle, Augilar closed the fallen general’s eyes, giving him his last rights.
Personality
Unlike the majority of Templars by the 15th century, who were either atheists or deists, Ramirez was a devout and passionate catholic who, like his Grand Master Torquemada, viewed the the Templar cause as divinely sanctioned. This devotion to Catholicism bordered on fanaticism, as he was willing to commit a number of massacres and other atrocities on Muslims and others whom he considered infidels who invoked the Christian God’s wrath. Ramirez was also a talented strategist and capable frontline commander, with his skills being of great contribution to both the Spanish Army and the Templars.
