Monica Albertine
Monica Albertine (died 1788) was a Corsican ally of the Assassin Order, and the mother of Lucio Albertine.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Sometime around 1753, Monica was kidnapped by the Templars. Grand Master Reginald Birch held her hostage in the cellar of his chateau near Troyes, France, and forced her to decode Edward Kenway's journal, which contained information on the First Civilization.[1]
However, Monica was unable to complete her work without her son Lucio, whom the Assassins guarded to keep him from being kidnapped as well. The Templars subsequently sent Edward's son, Haytham Kenway, to find and capture Lucio. Once Haytham saw how the two were treated, he had Birch promise that they would be freed after their work was finished.[1]
In 1757, Haytham discovered that Birch had been behind the murder of his father, and attacked his chateau along with his sister and Jim Holden. After Birch had been killed, Holden freed Monica and Lucio, offering them food, horses, and his own sword for their journey home. Unable to forgive Haytham for letting him suffer Birch's harsh treatment, Lucio plunged the sword into the Templar's chest. Before falling unconscious, Haytham told Holden to spare the Albertines. Holden complied, and Monica and Lucio fled afterwards.[1]
In 1788, Monica and Lucio were murdered by the Carrolls, so that Élise de la Serre could pose as a descendant of Lucio and retrieve letters that Haytham had written to his sister Jennifer.[2]
