Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China

Overview

Chronicles: China is set in 16th-century Imperial China, during the Ming dynasty, and follows Shao Jun, the Assassin introduced in the short film Assassin's Creed: Embers. In 1526, Shao Jun returns to China after a long journey to Europe, where she visited the retired Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze and learned the key to liberating her people. Her mission is to eliminate the Eight Tigers, a group of influential Templars who rule China from the shadows, with the Emperor as their puppet, and who oversaw the extermination of most of the Chinese Assassin Brotherhood.

Shao Jun's first target is Gao Feng, the warden of a prison in the Maijishan Grottoes, and in order to get close to him, she allows herself to be captured, along with a box given to her by Ezio, which is a Precursor artifact. After escaping and killing Gao Feng, Shao Jun travels to the port city of Macau with fellow Assassin Wang Yangming, who already killed another Tiger, Ma Yongcheng ("The Butcher"), in order to assassinate Yu Dayong ("The Slaver") and recover the Precursor box. Shao Jun succeeds, and escapes after the Templars set the port on fire in retaliation.

In 1529, Shao Jun goes after Wei Bin ("The Snake"), the second-in-command of the Tigers, in Nan'an. After killing him, however, she learns that the Tigers' leader, Zhang Yong, knows that Wang Yangming has the Precursor box and is hunting him down. Shao Jun tries to save Yangming, but arrives too late. In 1530, Shao Jun infiltrates the Forbidden City to seek the help of Empress Zhang, an old friend from during her years as a concubine, only to discover that the Templars have forced the Empress to lure Shao Jun into a trap. Shao Jun forgives her, and escapes after killing the Tiger Qiu Ju ("The Demon").
