Aguilar de Nerha (1455 – 1526) was a Master Assassin of the Spanish Brotherhood during the 15th century who encountered a Piece of Eden. He is an ancestor of Callum Lynch, who relived his genetic memories in the year 2016.

Biography

While born to two Assassins, Aguilar only joined the Spanish Brotherhood after his parents were burned at the stake and branded heretics by the Templar Tomás de Torquemada and his henchman Ojeda.

He was then trained by the Mentor Benedicto before being formally inducted in 1491 by having one of his finger amputated as the Assassins of old times. During his training, Aguilar also grew close with his sparring partner, Maria, and the two began a romantic relationship.

Personality and characteristics

Aguilar was a committed member of the Assassin Brotherhood, dedicated to preserving free will and fighting against the Knights Templar. He also possessed a deep understanding of the political climate in 15th century Spain and knew Tomás de Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition had to be stopped.

Equipment and skills

Aguilar wore robes bearing Moorish influence and wielded two Hidden Blades, of which at least one appeared to be equipped with a mechanism similar to the rope launcher used by Jacob and Evie Frye.

Trivia

• Aguilar, and his modern day descendant, Callum Lynch, are both portrayed by Michael Fassbender in the Assassin's Creed motion picture.
• "Aguilar" is a Spanish surname meaning "relative to eagles". "De Nerha" is likely a misspelled form of "De Nerja", which means "From Nerja", with Nerja being an Andalousian city. The Spanish "j" has a similar pronunciation to the english "h", hence the mistake.
