==Summary==
Maria Thorpe (1161 – 1228) was an English noblewoman living during the Middle Ages, who joined the Templar Order prior to the Third Crusade. She is an ancestor to Desmond Miles, through the maternal line.
After developing a strong relationship with the Grand Master Robert de Sablé, she was eventually given a high-ranking position within the Order. In 1191, once the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad killed eight Templar agents spread throughout the Holy Land, Maria was assigned by Robert to act as his decoy, to trick the Assassin into assailing the wrong target. The plan was a success, though Altaïr chose to spare Maria's life.
Robert was ultimately killed shortly thereafter, and his replacement, Armand Bouchart, did not favor Maria. He did not find transport for her when the Templars moved to Cyprus, and before she could plan her own way there, she was defeated and captured by Altaïr.
Unwillingly giving information to Altaïr and escaping her captors several times, Maria began to realize that the Templars' ambitions were not beneficial for humanity, and slowly grew closer to Altaïr. Eventually, she and Altaïr infiltrated the Templar Archive in Limassol, where she faced off against Bouchart alone. Though she was defeated, Altaïr was able to assassinate the Grand Master and escape the crumbling Archive with Maria.
She then followed Altaïr to the Assassins' fortress in Masyaf, where they settled down and had two children together. Several years later, Maria, Altaïr and their son Darim went on a journey to assassinate the Mongol leader Genghis Khan, while her younger son Sef remained behind.
Maria was killed in 1228, during Abbas Sofian's coup d'état against her husband, by the blade of Swami.
