Qiu Ju

Qiu Ju was one of the Eight Tigers, a group of powerful Templar eunuchs that controlled the Chinese imperial court during the reign of the Ming Dynasty Zhengde Emperor. He played a role in the purge of the Chinese Assassins after the ascendance of the Jiajing Emperor.

In 1526, Yu Dayong was assassinated by the Assassin Shao Jun in Macau with Qiu Ju founding, the still warm, body of his fellow Templar. In order to avenge the slaver and to show the consequences of her vendetta to the Assassin, Qiu ordered his men to arrest innocents and to set the port of the city ablaze.
