In 1543, João was on one of Wang Zhi's pirate ships trafficking arquebuses between China and Japan. As the ship was leaving Fukue Island, Japan it was boarded by members of the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins led by Shao Jun. Hurriedly trying to secure an Apple of Eden in his possession, he was targeted by Shao Jun as the pirates and arquebusiers were dealt with by the other Assassins including The Sunlight Sword. Incapacitated by her Machado lost possession of the Apple. However a dying gunman managed to light a store of gunpowder forcing everyone to disengage.[1] Having survived the previous engagement, Machado, now a commander within the Military Order of Aviz, was tasked to acquire a Precursor box from Francis Xavier,[2] a fellow Templar,[3] by force if necessary. Lethally completing said mission, he made arrangements to deliver it to his master, Gaspar Vilela, in Nagasaki, Japan. However, during transit aboard one of the Black Ships, an attack by pirates gave Assassins led by Shao Jun the chance to recover the Precursor Box.[2] |
