Shao Jun

A concubine freed from the Ming court by the Chinese Brotherhood, Shao Jun was its sole survivor when the Eight Tigers — the Templars behind the Jiajing Emperor — answered the Assassins' existence with massacre. She crossed the world to ask a retired legend in Tuscany how to rebuild from nothing; Ezio's reluctant last lessons, and the small box he told her to open only if she lost her way, went home with her in 1526. Six years of shadow work later the Tigers were dead, their leader Zhang Yong cut down on the Great Wall with a Mongol invasion behind him — and the box was gone, a loss she chose to accept rather than chase.
