Valeria
Valeria was the wife of the Gallo-Roman Assassin Aquilus, and an ancestor of Desmond Miles.
After Aquilus had avenged his father's death in 259, he returned home to Valeria. There they shared an intimate moment, and Aquilus then took Valeria down to their mansion's basement, where he explained to her what the Ankh was and how it functioned. He then activated the Ankh and it showed him a message from his father, who had recorded it just before his death.
During these events, they were interrupted by a group of Roman soldiers, who arrested both of them and escorted the pair to Rome. However, while traveling through a forest, they were ambushed by Aquilus' cousin Accipiter, an Assassin who had secretly heard of their capture from the prefect of Lugdunum. Despite his arrival, one of the Roman soldiers slit Aquilus' throat in a moment of panic, resulting in his death.
Accipiter took Aquilus' corpse and Valeria with him, and Valeria informed him of the past events. However, she explained that she did not remember how to use the Ankh, and Accipiter requested that she take the artifact with her and hide it somewhere, as he was too busy with coordinating the Alamanni's war against the Roman army.
