Upon arriving in Italy, the entourage came into contact with some of the Templars of the Roman Rite, notably the Pazzi family, whom the agent was surprised to learn were not so readily cordial to even downright hostile towards his Lord Captain.Assassin's Creed: Recollection – Missions: Dog Eat DogAssassin's Creed: Recollection – Missions: Nobility Loves CompanyAssassin's Creed: Recollection – Missions: Vested Interests After traveling to multiple cities, officially to promote Aragonese political and economic interests but also to curry favor with the local nobility for the purpose of benefiting the Templar Order, the agent was informed of the true objective, the search of a Piece of Eden of which his young charge Adrià was believed to be able to identify and possibly even operate.Assassin's Creed: Recollection – Missions: With all due RespectAssassin's Creed: Recollection – Missions: Act of Faith

==Behind the scenes==
While specific dates are not given, a loose timeline can be constructed due to characters that are featured in the various missions. Despite this, the timeline does not seem very feasible. The first mission able to be assigned a date is "Nobility Loves Company", where the Lord Captain meets with the Pazzi family including Vieri, placing it sometime in or before April 1478. This presents some complications, as the preceding mission "Dog Eat Dog" featured Micheletto Corella, who would be 8 at this time, while the subsequent missions "By the Book" and "Aiming for the Stars" featured Nicolaus Copernicus and Pietro Rossi, who would be 5 and 8, respectively.
Allowing for some time to pass, the next dateable mission is "Life of the Party" which must take place sometime after July 1480 as Caterina Sforza is already styled as the Countess of Forlì. A few missions later in "The Countess only Knows", it is implied to be July 1488 as Forlì is under siege with Checco and Ludovico Orsi being shown. However, this is further complicated by the mission "Vested Interests", where the Lord Captain meets with Silvio Barbarigo who died 2 years before the Battle of Forlì.
Another jump then occurs, as Cesare is introduced as Captain General of the Papal Guard, an appointment that did not happen until after the death of his brother Juan Borgia the Younger in July 1497. Finally, at the end, the Lord Captain's journey is described in the term of months despite ostensibly having lasted about two decades.
