This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

Maximilian I of the powerful Habsburg family (22 March 1459 - 12 January 1519) was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 until his death.

Members of the Assassin Order (disguised as Condottieri) sent by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, brought him proof regarding Rodrigo Borgia's hiring of Swiss commanders to form his papal guard. Maximilian was defeated by the Swiss in the Swabian War of 1499 and he became irate upon learning of this development. The emperor then used Swiss mercenaries, elite soldiers and several Assassins to form his own mercenary force, the Landsknechts.
