King Manuel was a member of the Templar Order and has role in some of the Assassin apprentice missions in Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. It is revealed that he works with the Templars. He supported Portuguese voyages to India with the pretext that they were there only to find spices, but in reality it was to find Assassin strongholds.
