Jariya al-Zakiyya was an Assassin of the Spanish Brotherhood during the Spanish Inquisition.

Biography
Jariya al-Zakiyya was a half-Moorish sly and cunning Assassin from Granada who was raised in the Sultan's court during the Renaissance.

A woman of great beauty, she was reputed to have been the secret child of the former Sultan Abu al-Hasan Ali and his Christian slave lover. As a result, Jariya was raised by the women of the sultan's harem.

Jariya also became the chilhood friend of Boabdil, who would eventually become the Sultan Muhammad XII. Trusting Jariya as a loyal confidant, Boabdil asked his friends and allies the Assassins to train her as one of their own. Jariya then served as Muhammad XII's personnal spy for many years.

When Granada fell and Muhammad XII had to surrender his kingdom to the Spanish Monarchs, he made Jariya swear on his life that she would flee Granada and join the Spanish Brotherhood to avenge him.
