Opía Apito (c. 1695 – unknown) was a Taíno member of the Caribbean Brotherhood of Assassins in the leader of the Assassin bureau on the Cayman Islands.
Biography
Opía was approached by Edward Kenway, who confessed to having incidentally exposed her bureau's location to the Templars, which only heightened her hostility towards her. Edward offered to help undo his mistake in exchange for a Templar key to a vault at his compound on Great Inagua. Opía challenged him to a hunting contest in exchange for her help. Edward ultimately won the contest after killing a white jaguar. Opía then agreed to assist him, instructing Edward to meet her on Grand Cayman.
Upon rendezvousing, Opía wondered what the Templars would want with a mere fishing village. Edward suspected otherwise, and mingled among the populace, before returning to inform her that a man named Vargas, whom Opía identified as Lucia Marquez's right-hand man, was in town. They chased after Vargas, who attempted to flee by ship, but the frigate was crippled by the Jackdaw. Interrogating Vargas, he revealed Marquez's location on Pinos Isle.
The pirate and Assassin then made their way to Pinos Isle and infiltrated the Mayan ruins. There, they attacked Marquez's troops to try to force her out of hiding. Once they had lured Lucia out of hiding, she fired at Opía, who proved to be a distraction, and left herself wide open to a killing blow by Edward and perished in the rain. With her dying breath, Marquez criticized the Taíno for failing to see what wealth her father could've brought to the Carribean. Opía refuted her claims, stating that her people should not be condemned for living free. Marquez then expired as Edward took the key from her body.
