Plot
The game follows Nieto Caídose del Monarca, the grandson of Spanish monarch Charles V, thus the son of Charles' son Philip II. The game takes place around 1540 in colonial era Spain, where Nieto adopts the ways of an assassin after his father is attacked and nearly killed by unknown assailants, and his brother Diego is slain. Severely scared from his wounds, Philip tells his son to go to Madrid, and seek Criado del Invasor, a servant to Hernán Cortés. Criado becomes Nieto's main go-to for asassination missions, and he tells him that the Madrid merchant lord Victor Drene la Monarquía Seca was one of the main conspirators in Philip’s attack. Criado tells Nieto to strike Victor when he is overseeing a shipment of goods at the harbour. Nieto follows Victor for a few metres, before striking him with the double blades, retained from Assassin's Creed II. Nieto then flees the scene, and is pursued by guards. He is then trapped in an alleyway, where Criado and some of his men rescue him with bows. As Criado helps Nieto up he says: ¿Espero que el hecho es hecho? ¿Derramó usted la tierra con la sangre de Monarquía Seca la? Su padre estará contento, y Diego ha sido vengado. Pero Seca no era solo. Venga, Nieto..." (I expect the deed is done? Did you spill the ground with la Monarquía Seca's blood? Your father will be pleased, and Diego has been avenged. But Seca was not alone. Come, Nieto...). He then leads Nieto to a secret entrance into what he tells him is the Templo del Asesino Moderno, where his ancestor's most prized belongings are held. Criado then tells Nieto that he is an assassin also, and that Diego was as well, and that Seca as a Templar.

After showing Nieto the Templo del Asesino Moderno, Criado tells him that he must go to Aragon and find Vincente de La Sabre, a man who is strangling the streets of Aragon with a tight crime grip. Vincente is also a conspirator in the attack on Charles, and met with Seca in Madrid before leaving back to Aragon. As Nieto and Criado arrive in Aragon, La Sabre meets with the other conspirators, including La Sangre da Salvadores, Christian Valgiari, Guillermo la Dolchean, and Don Espanezo, along with a representative on behalf of the Spanish templar’s leader, Josef la Dievi. La Sabre demands that Madrid be retaken, and says that Seca’s death was unaffordable. La Dievi agrees, and tells Valgiari and Espanezo to return to Madrid and retake control. As Vincente leaves the hiding place, he is spotted by Criado and Nieto from across the docks, and Nieto decides the time is right to kill him. He leaps across the pier and grabs Vincente, throwing him to the ground. Before he can stab him, the man gets to his feet and runs, crying “asesino! Asesino!”. A group of guards then appear, and Nieto must defeat them to get to Vincente. He chases him through Aragon, where he finally strikes in front of a tower, stabbing him in the back. Vincente confesses he knew his death would be next, and that Nieto will realise the truth, and discover the wrong people have died. Criado then finds Nieto after he has killed Vincente, and takes him to his new headquarters. He also rewards Nieto with two pistols, used similarly to the double blade. He then tells Nieto that Christian Valgiari and Don Espanezo have returned to Madrid, and that met must kill them. Criado remains in Aragon while Nieto travels to Madrid, where on the way he is intercepted by Espanezo’s manservant Vasallo del Duque de Córdoba and some other mercenaries. After a brief confrontation Vasallo nearly kills Nieto due to his lack of training, but he is rescue by the nomadic stranger who calls himself El Cuchillo de Zargoza. Cuchillo kills Vasallo and rescues Nieto, accompanying him on the way to Madrid. He tells him that he is too an assassin, and he wishes to help kill Espanezo and Valgiari. When they arrive at Madrid they see that Espanezo and Valgiari have taken control of the city, and have been plotting to kill the El duque de Alto del Consejo de España; Ricos de la Potente. Cuchillo advises Nieto to tread carefully, and teaches him how to counter before he goes and kills both Espanezo and Valgiari at the Palacio de la Diputación, where they are meeting with Ricos in a gambit to kill him and assert power of Madrid. Nieto infiltrates the Palacio as Valgiari and Espanezo stab Ricos to death, and chases them through the Palacio. He strikes with his newly acquired double pistols, and kills both Espanezo and Valgiari simultaneously. Valgiari refuses to speak in his dying breath, but Espanezo reveals a name to Nieto; Juan de Normandía. Nieto flees the Palacio and meets Cuchillo outside the city as it descends into chaos. He asks him if he knows Juan de Normandia, and Cuchillo says that he has heard the name before, a powerful French man that dwells in Valencia.
