After the liberation of districts throughout Rome, the Italian Master Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze sent his Assassin apprentices on various contracts around Europe, to assist neighboring countries and to diminish Templar influence.
Contracts
- Picking up the Pieces:
After Luis de Santángel's death, we have no eyes within the Spanish royal circle. Queen Isabella's Templar influence has often concerned us, but without Luis to report on her activities, we are blind. Infiltrate the queen's court. Recover Santángel's journal.
- A Slap to the Face:
Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I has faced the might of Swiss mercenaries before, taking a heavy beating during the Swabian War. He would be shocked to hear that the Borgia have hired several Swiss commanders as their papal guard, the same commanders that gave Maximilian so much trouble. Capture these men and deliver them to Maximilian as proof. You will need to go disguised as condotierri.
- Chasing Ghosts:
"Aristotele" is actually another Brotherhood spy sent to Moscow, Ridolfo "Aristotele" Fioravant. He once worked alongside Pietro on the Kremlin. We believed he had died over twenty years ago. Hunt him. We must know what happened.
- Man Down:
We have no more time to spare. Take a group to assault the manor where our Brother is held captive. If he lives, free him, then follow the trail of any information he has revealed and end it.
- On the Trail:
Louis XII has left his kingdom in the hands of the Templars loyal to the Borgia. They have captured one of our Brothers and now subject him to torture in order to loosen his tongue. If they break him the impact could be staggering. Confront archbishop Georges d'Amboise, Louis' chief advisor. No doubt the Borgia have his ear.
- Pretenders:
Templars actively struggle to gain power over the English throne. King Henry VII spoiled their first two attempts, imprisoning Lambert Simnel and hanging Perkin Warbeck, both pretenders to the throne. Both of them had a co-conspirator: Margaret of York, but Henry cannot touch her due to her family ties to the Holy Roman Emperor. Henry does not know who we are, but he knows what we can do. Meet with him. Assure him you will see to it that Margaret dies "naturally."
- Hunted:
Manuel I of Portugal has sent Pedro Álvares Cabral's fleet to Calicut, their spice trade a cover for their real purpose: we believe they seek to ferret out our guild contained within the city. Our Brothers have called on upon us to help them bite back. Locate their storehouses and their shops. Raze them. When Cabral responds, drive him from the port.
- A Fighting Chance:
Travel back to Lisbon. We are supplying your ship with weapons, rations, and simple armor. Teach the oppressed how to use them. Give them tactics to strike back against Manuel's men from the shadows without raising alarm. We do not have the resources to fight their war but we can help them survive it.
- Age of Discovery:
As powerful nations launch their expeditions into uncharted seas and claim pieces of the New World, we must ensure that our Brotherhood expands to keep our enemy in check. An exceptional Ottoman cartographer, Piri Reis, has begun to compile detailed maps of these territories. Find his workshop and steal what you can.
- My Enemy's Enemy:
Rodrigo is wary of any peace between Venice and the Ottoman Empire, though it draws near. We can be sure Borgia mercenaries will attempt to disrupt this treaty, so you must be on guard. It is critical that our involvement remains secret. Work within the shadows. Success means we solidify Borgia's enemies.
- Weeds and Seeds:
Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II has offered refuge to the victims of the Inquisition, who now flee Spain and Portugal. Bayezid realizes these people will make his own empire stronger as Isabella, Ferdinand, and Manuel weaken theirs. However, Ferdinand has placed spies within the migrant population. We must expose these spies and replace them. This new community is flourishing with artists, scientists, and philosophers. It is perfect soil to plant a Brotherhood guild.
- School Tax:
Elector Friedrich der Weise intends to construct a University in Wittenberg, one dedicated to religious reform. His teachers intend to question the practices of Rodrigo and his circle. Even now, the Borgia prepare a bribe for Friedrich and his colleagues, to encourage them to back away from their "foolish" project. You will intercept that money and see that Friedrich receives a healthy donation to his cause.
- Forgot to Mention:
The historian Conradus Celtis focuses his studies on the history of the world rather than a specific region. Though his goals are admirable, he has uncovered quite a few secrets that need to remain secret. Even now, he finishes a book that tracks our Order throughout history. A lot of it is speculation and fantasy, but he has uncovered some truth. We have tried information exchanges and bribery in the past to no avail. He has been warned; if necessary, kill him.
