Thomas More (1478 – 1535) was an English philosopher and author.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
Beginning in 1516,[Note: when Leo moved to Amboise] More aided Leonardo da Vinci with his research into ideal cities, during which they managed to uncover nine locations that da Vinci considered conducive to the construction of Assassin refuges meant to train and initiate apprentices. Afraid of possible interception, da Vinci hid encoded information with trusted friends,[2] including More.[3]
In early 1519, More was arrested and taken to the Tower of London. Having heard of this event in his final days, Leonardo requested that the Brotherhood locate More within the complex and free him.[4] Another of More's friends, academic Richard Croke, also investigated the arrest on his own, later informing the Assassins of what he had managed to learn.[5] The Assassins managed to locate More within the Salt Tower,[6] releasing him from his emprisonment. In thanks, he gave them the translucid sheet with a line Leonardo had given him, encouraging them to "make good use of it, and carry out our great utopia."[7]
