History[]
In 2016, after kidnapping the Assassin Kody Adams the Mexican cartel leader Arturo Viera set a trap for the other two Assassins, Galina Voronina and Charlotte de la Cruz in retaliation for harming Viera's girlfriend. He had rented the stadium for the night, and together with his girlfriend and a dozen of his men, Viera waited for the Assassins arrival. Once there, Charlotte used her new Assassins skills to take out Viera's men while the injured Galina was covering her with a sniper rifle. They killed all the cartel members present in the stadium until Viera's girls also began shooting at them with a sniper rifle, and as she was taking cover Charlotte was captured by Viera. Shooting her in the foot and threatening to kill both her and Kody, Viera ordered Galina to show herself.[1]
However as the Assassins ware about to be killed, a Templar's strike team led by Ortega Sanchez arrived in a helicopter, killing Viera's lover and injuring him using a machinegun. While the Templars landed, Viera was crawling on the ground trying to reach the butchered body of his love until Whittaker, a Templar agent, finished him with his gun.[1]
Introducing himself to the Assassins, he was surprised when de la Cruz threatened to kill herself if they didn't let her friends go but Sanchez refused, stating that bringing home the head of the famous Galina would be enough. De la Cruz then offered the location of the meeting of Erudito's leaders planned to take place three days later and this time Sanchez accepted. He gave her one day to look into the Animus for an answer and to respect their pact and then left in the helicopter with his men. The Assassins were then able to leave together alive.[1]
