The Italian Jesuit missionary and Templar Alessandro Valignano was sent to Japan to aid Francisco Cabral in introducing Catholicism to the country, but he would use his Jesuit connections to scour Japan for Templar recruits. When Cabral confronted Valignano about this, he used his influence to force Cabral to resign from his post as Superior of the Jesuit Mission.Assassin's Creed: Memories – Cards: Alessandro Valignano
