"A body enslaved inspires the mind to revolt. But enslave a man's mind and his body will follow on naturally. Efficiently."

―Laureano de Torres y Ayala regarding the difference between slavery and the Templars' goals to Woodes Rogers.

Laureano de Torres y Ayala (1645 – 1722) was the Spanish Governor of Florida from 1693 to 1699, Governor of Cuba on two occasions between 1707 and 1716, and the Grand Master of the Templar Order in the Caribbean.

Alongside fellow Templars Julien du Casse and Woodes Rogers, Torres plotted to use the Sage Bartholomew Roberts to gain access to the Observatory, in order to control the European Empires from behind the scenes.

Torres was later killed by the pirate Edward Kenway in the Observatory, while he attempted to access the First Civilization site.
