HistoryAfter his confrontation with general Gracchus, Aquilus traveled back to his hometown to bring the Ankh to his father.[1] When he arrived in Lugdunum, he found his father in good health, and met a family friend, Senator Caïus Fulvus Vultur. Aquilus almost immediately set out to find the person responsible for his betrayal, and so he sought out Faustin. After a brief interrogation, Faustin betrayed his accomplice: Senator Vultur.[1] When Aquilus arrived at his house once again, he found his father dead and the Ankh stolen. One of the maids told him the senator had fled the city.[1] Not much later, the Alemanni moved in on Lugdunum, though their leader, Accipiter, was hesitant to plunder the city because of the Assassins' interests. Instead of plundering it, a deal was made with the Prefect of Lugdunum. The city paid a large sum of gold to keep the Alemanni from invading the city, which made an easy victory for the Alemans.[2] |
