Biography
Luis was born into the Spanish Assassin Order. He and fellow Assassin Raphael Sanchez became close to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand to prevent the Templars from getting complete control over the monarchy.
Eventually, he met with Christoffa Corombo, who had plans to sail west. The Assassins and Templars both knew of another continent, America, and informed Christoffa of this. Rodrigo Borgia, leader of the Italian Templars, found out about Christoffa's planned journey and arranged a meeting with him, claiming he wanted to finance the journey.
Luis knew that the meeting was a trap and contacted the leader of Venice's thieves, Antonio, to help him protect Christoffa. Antonio then called Ezio Auditore da Firenze for the job, who accepted after he heard that Borgia involved. Ezio successfully rescued Christoffa.
