Database: Andrea Cortés

Ambitious Mercenary

Born during the Renaissance, Andrea Cortés was a young mercenary girl who came from an extremely poor Spanish upbringing.

The daughter of peasant pig farmers, Andrea was the only girl of the family's seven siblings and hated her impoverished life on the farm. A staunch tomboy and ruffian, she spent all her days attending the pigs, sword fighting and wrestling with her brothers who were members of the local militia.

One rainy night, a group of mercenaries called "The Silent Wolves", led by Álvaro de Espinosa, offered to pay more gold than she had ever seen for a single night of shelter on her family's farm. After hearing their stories of gold and riches, she packed her things and left with Alvaro the next morning. As a mercenary, Andrea learned a lot from Álvaro, and over time she grew to consider him like a second father.

When Álvaro attempted to convince his mercenaries to serve the cause of the Assassins, most of them disagreed and left, but Andrea decided to stay and join the Brotherhood with him.
