The Trail of Lucia Márquez

The Trail of Lucia Márquez was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

Description

Edward set out to assassinate Lucia Márquez, a Templar holding one of the keys, alongside Opía Apito.

Dialogue

• Opía: It has been a lifetime since we were here. This jungle is still think with vines and trickery. Marquez will use this to her advantage.
• Edward: But we know she's here, she doesn't expect us.
• Opía: We must find her, draw her out, and put a final end to her.
• Edward: Let's see where this lad goes.

Edward and Opía trailed a soldier.

• Opía: I know she's here, Lucia Marquez. I can feel it.
• Edward: She must be hiding. Let's take some action she can't ignore.
• Opía: Yes. Eliminate these men.

Edward engaged several soldiers in combat.

• Opía: Use a powder keg! More are coming. Take them out. Corner her. Make her fight alone. Look up! Lucia Marquez, if it's us you're after, come out and fight like a woman of honour. Go, after her. We will keep her attention focused here. But be careful she does not detect you. You cannot hide forever!

Edward assassinated Marquez.

• Lucia: No! I cannot die at the hands of the Taino. My father saw such potential in these islands. Gold... Industry... Freedom... all of it squandered. You have not a clue how to use it. He could have brought you wealth.
• Opía: You believe we wasted freedom by living freely. You die a prisoner of your Templar mores.
• Edward: Let's not argue with a dead woman. Here's my prize.

Outcome

Edward killed Lucia Márquez, acquiring the first of his Templar keys.
