Taíno

The Taíno were an Arawak seafaring indigenous peoples of the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, and the northern Lesser Antilles.

The Lucayan branch of the Taíno were the first Native Americans encountered by the Europeans during Christopher Columbus' journey to the New World in 1492. Under Spanish oppression, the Taíno were driven to the brink of extinction, though they ultimately persisted and survived to have descendants even in the modern era.

After the Assassins spread their influence to the New World in 1503, several members of the Taíno chose to join their ranks, including Opía Apito.
