The Celestial Mysteries was a set of five paintings created by the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci.
During the late 15th century, the paintings were acquired by the Spanish Thieves Guild, allies of the Spanish Brotherhood, and were originally meant to be sold to finance the war against the Templars. In 1489, the guild leader Lupo Gallego entrusted the Assassin Jaime del Rada to locate a buyer.
However, the Assassin gambled the paintings away in a card game against Diego de Burgos, a captain in the Spanish Inquisition, who then separated the set and gave each paintings to his underlings in Spain.
Ashamed by his mistakes, Jaime worked with the Spanish Assassins and were able to regain the paintings.
