Contracts (Project Legacy)

There are several contract missions in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy that take place across Europe. Completing all of these missions will earn you the "Steadfast" achievement. The missions are unlocked after linking the game with an Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood save file, and after the associated contract mission is completed in Brotherhood, using your Assassin recruits.

London, England

Henry VII of the House of Tudor rules England with unflinching power. Though England enjoys peace and stability under his command, he may soon become a victim of Templar manipulation.

Dousing Fires

Requirements: 15 AP (per execution).
Rewards: 30 XP, 393 florins.

Margaret's death has sent her co-conspirators scrambling into the streets of small baronies throughout England. They urge the people to rise up against Henry's throne. We must find the leaders of these rallies and kill them.

Dousing Fires

• We don the local garb and infiltrate the agitated crowds, seeking those most vocal or most convincing.
• These men are playing on ignorance and fear! Though no leadership is free of corruption, we find many false claims and exaggerations in the speeches. Templar tactics.
• Killing these men will be simple enough, but how to deal with the repercussions? Shall we martyr them?
• Ultimately, we decided the will of these people is not our concern. They have a right to express their grievances and demand action for them. With careful, discreet shots, we kill all but one of the Templars. The last, we question. For his life, he shares disturbing information.
• While we have not interest in protecting Henry from his people, we must not allow Templars to lead the rebellion. No doubt we will find them among the numbers.
• The surviving Templar explains that these distractions were intended to keep us from the real plot -- the Templars have infiltrated the Star Chamber, England's secret high court!

Pretenders

Requirements: 10 AP (per execution).
Rewards: 15 XP, 262 florins.

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. Find the link and end future attempts.

Pretenders

• Henry tells us that both pretenders had a co-conspirator: Margaret of York, but he cannot touch her due to her family ties to the Holy Roman Emperor.
• We do not tell Henry who we are, only that we have similar interests. He makes us assure him that Margaret dies "naturally."
• Margaret believes herself to be safe. We are amazed to find her surrounded by acquaintances but not guards.
• Two of us distract Margaret's serving staff, delaying them with questions and propositions, while a third enters her home.
• To avoid wasting our poison on a food taster or unintended servant, we separate the components of a deadly brew, harmless until combined within the body. A dash in the food, a pinch in her face paint, and just a touch on her pillow.
• Margaret of York has died a "peaceful" death. Outside the Brotherhood, King Henry alone knows of our involvement. We will let him believe our services were bought with royal coin, but, in truth, we have dealt a major blow to the Templar scheme in England.

The Star Chamber

Requirements: 20 AP (per execution).
Rewards: 35 XP, 525 florins.

King Henry uses the Star Chamber to try powerful public figures without any public knowledge of the proceedings. Now that our enemy has worked its way into the court, they wield a very dangerous weapon.

The Star Chamber

• Henry uses the chamber to castrate dangerous political enemies. If it takes aim at our allies, the damage could be immense. We will identify the Templars and remove them.
• We ask the king directly if he doubts any man on the council. He does not. He advises us to cease our investigation. We bribe some of his court and uncover a few vague rumors.
• Further ignoring Henry;s request, we begin to follow the council members. For days, we observe nothing suspicious. We threaten them to see how they will react, but they do not. Perhaps the Templar was toying with us?
• Contact! Two ambassadors from Roma have arrived and met with four elder member of the Star Chamber. Letters delivered by the ambassadors bear the Borgia seal! The English sign and return them!
• We ambush the Borgia party, easily slaying both men before they can react! The letter warns of our interference in the Templar plot. We will turn over the letter and let the King deal with his own men.
• We exposed the Templars sitting on the Star Chamber council and handed them over to Henry's guards. In gratitude, the king has offered us one of the empty seats. We leave it up to the Brotherhood to decide if they will claim it.

Cologne, Germany

Maximillian's Holy Roman Empire is celebrating is blossoming culture, science and reform, seeing significant advances in Germany. The Brotherhood is carefully following this progress.

Forget to Mention

Requirements: 10 AP (per execution).
Rewards: 14 XP, ? florins.

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.

Forget to Mention

• Our contacts in Germany arrange a meeting with Celtis. We have offered him knowledge about underground orders and cults, an offer we are told he immediately accepted. We plan to share nothing about our own.
• Celtis is a gracious host, welcoming me in and treating me as an honored guest. He seems to have guessed who I am.
• He wastes no time, explaining that he is writing a book that tracks our Order throughout history. I deny our part in any Order and he simply smiles.
• He asks to see my hidden blade. Is it true that I have removed my finger to show my loyalty? He studies my glove as he asks who leads us.
• He tells me he wishes to portray us as heroes, that history should celebrate our work. I explain why that cannot happen. Why it will not happen. It pains me to threaten this scholar, but I must.
• Celtis agrees to keep our secret, through he has lost years of work. He protests, but I take his work back to Roma with me. It is too dangerous. However, despite everything, I believe we may have gained an ally with the power to write history.

School Tax

Requirements: 20 AP (per execution).
Rewards: 27 XP, ? florins.

Elector Friedrich der Weise intends to construct a University in Wittenberg, one dedicated to religious reform. Even now, the Borgia prepare a bribe for Friedrich and his colleagues, to encourage them to back away from their "foolish" project. We will intercept the money.

School Tax

• We arrive in Wittenberg and procure several shabby costumes. We will attack as bandits!
• We intercept the Borgia carriage outside the city! Our costumes work; the driver responds by trying to wheel his carriage around to flee us!
• The driver cannot maintain control and the carriage overturns! Its defenders climb out and we cut them down!
• The driver hobbles away on a broken leg. We let him escape while we collect the coffers buried inside the wreckage.
• Weise's teachers intend to question the practices of Rodrigo and his circle. Open defiance is usually met with violence from the Borgia. Why send a bribe? These men must be powerful.
• We went to great lengths to ensure the Borgia will believe their bribe stolen by bandits. Meanwhile, the university has received a tremendous contribution from an anonymous donor.

Moscow, Russia

As Ivan III Vasilevich seeks to expand Moscow's power and territory, he focuses internally on security and knowledge. Very little information leaves Moscow and we are fairly blind to Ivan's ambitions and alliances.

Gone Silent

Requirements: 10 AP (per execution).
Rewards: 16 XP, ? florins.

Our Brother in Moscow, Pietro Antonio Solari, has gone missing, leaving us blind to Ivan's plans. Use whatever means necessary to find out what happened to Solari and whether or not we are compromised.

Gone Silent

• Solari was sent to Moscow years ago with several of our Brothers. All of them were Italian architects personally recruited by Ivan to renovate the Kremlin, where we will begin our search.
• With careful, coordinated moves, we enter the secured hallways of the citadel and work our way towards our goal.
• As we work at the lock, two guards enter the connecting hallway. We have no reason to kill these men, so we lure them into the room and strike them unconscious!
• We take as many records as we can carry in an attempt to fill in the gaps left by our missing agent.
• Oure translators tell us Pietro was murdered. Records show that the murderer is another Italian who uses only the name “Aristotele."

Paris, France

King Louis XII of the House of Valois rules France from afar. His military conquests have temporarily drawn him away from his throne.

On the Trail

Requirements: 15 AP (per execution).
Rewards: 25 XP, 510 florins.

We know that Louis XII has left his kingdom in the hands of Templars loyal to the Borgia. They have captured one of our Brothers and now subject him to torture, hoping to loosen his tongue. If they break him, the impact could be staggering—we must find him soon!

On the Trail

• Upon our arrival in France, we find the populace eager to talk about corruption and conspiracy. Though much of it is surely rumor, we find several solid leads.

• We are led to Archbishop Georges d’Amboise, Louis’ chief advisor. The Borgia may already have his ear. We follow him throughout the city, waiting until he is alone.

• We grab d’Amboise and shove him into an alley, away from public scrutiny. He panics, fearing for his life. He is not wrong to panic. He has provided us with a list of ministers who he believes were involved.

• The ministers are careless, flaunting their connections to buy more power. We divide our forces and target three men.

• Each of us received only scraps of information, but together, we have much more!

• At dusk, we bury the three ministers outside the city. Their disappearance should cause delay in Cesare’s plans. We now know where to find our captured brother, but he will be well protected. We will need time to prepare.

Vienna, Austria

Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I's warfare experience has taught him the weaknesses of relying on foreign mercenary armies. We believe we have found a way to bribe him, to turn him against any allies he may have in Roma. Perhaps we can further divide the attention of our enemies.

Lisbon, Portugal

King Manuel has brought great wealth to Portugal, as well as a relentless drive to dominate naval trade routes and land discoveries. With such blossoming power, his diplomatic ambitions cause us concern.

Barcelona, Spain

Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand are Spain's Catholic royalty. Their masterful diplomacy and religious initiatives have gained them Templar attention in the past. It must not happen again.

Constantinople, Ottoman Empire

Sultan Bayezid II rules the Ottoman Empire with a just hand. He controls deadly naval power as well; we must never underestimate its might, nor allow our enemies to influence it.

Calicut, India

The Indian city of Calicut is a major trading hub for exotic spices under the control of the Saamoothiri. Our Order has established a guild near the shore to watch over the busy port as the world's powers seek to control it.
