The Wounded Eagle is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

Description

During a carriage race against Ezio Auditore, the Byzantine Templar Captain Leandros calls his guards for help. After he pulls ahead of the Assassin's wagon, Leandros' men manage to stop Ezio by throwing a bomb under the wheels of his cart.

As Ezio's carriage is hurled from the cliffside, he falls into a canyon, only managing to survive by using a rocky outcrop to slow his descent. Despite this, he hits the ground next to the splintered remains of his carriage.

After seeing that Ezio had survived the fall, although wounded, Leandros orders his guards to kill him. Managing to survive the battle in his weakened state, Ezio infiltrates the Templar stronghold and makes his way to a tower, where he finally kills Leandros.

Dialogue

The Wounded Eagle 2

Ezio, after being sent into the canyon by the thrown bomb.

In the race between the two, Leandros rushes through the canyon as Ezio begins to catch up. However, he manages to ram into Ezio's carriage and almost forces him off of the cliff, slowing the Assassin down enough to speed past him. Soon, Leandros reaches his destination, where he notices a few of his guards.

  • Leandros: (to the guards) Stop him!

One of Leandros' guards hurls a bomb towards Ezio's carriage, which falls underneath his cart and explodes, sending him, along with the carriage, into the valley below.

Leandros approaches the guards.

  • Leandros: Do not take your eyes off this road for a moment. Do you understand me?
    Nothing gets through!

Ezio manages to climb back onto the road, which one of the guards notices.

  • Guard: Leandros! (points at Ezio)

Leandros watching an injured Ezio.

Leandros turns around, spotting Ezio.

  • Leandros: Well, well. Look what crawled out of its hole to die!

Turning around to his guards, Leandros gives them an order, before signalling two guards to follow him.

  • Leandros: He's at death's door. Finish him off!
    Bring me his head, or throw yourselves into the canyon!

As Leandros walks away, the remaining guards approach Ezio, considering him as an easy target. Preparing himself for a fight, despite his injury to his abdomen, Ezio dispatches them and proceeds towards the village. Sneaking up to the first guard near the waterwheel, Ezio assassinates him from behind, before continuing onwards and climbing onto the spinning waterwheel to reach the top of the fortress wall.

  • Ezio: This used to be so easy.

Once he reaches the top, Ezio uses his Eagle sense to trace Leandros' path, observing that the way is blocked by more guards. Deciding to create a trap to clear his way, Ezio makes his way over to a guard standing next a carriage, before using his Hidden Blade to kill him, once the patrolling guards had passed. From there, Ezio sets up a trip-wire bomb next to his body.

After noticing the guard's corpse, the patrolling guards approach the body, where, unbeknownst to them, they trigger the bomb's wire and are killed by its explosion. With the way now clear, Ezio follows the path Leandros had taken earlier.

Tracing Leandros' footsteps, Ezio notices two guards further along his path. After concluding that the best course of action would be to avoid them, Ezio uses one of his diversion bombs to create a small blast in an alleyway nearby, distracting the guards so that he can continue to tail Leandros undetected.

  • Guard 1: Smokes like these make me nervous!
    Keep your eyes open.
  • Guard 2: Whoever did this...

After managing to evade further attention from any guards on his way, by using a caltrop bomb to stop a guard from chasing after him, Ezio approaches the village's square and notices Leandros on one of the roofs.

Leandros taunting Ezio.

  • Leandros: Could it be that you are every bit as deadly as the legends say? Or am I in charge of an army of drunks swinging sticks?!
    Right this way, Ezio. Nowhere left to run now!

Ezio notices a few guards running towards him.

  • Ezio: Not for me, and not for you!

With a swing of his sword, he closes the gate behind him, and prevents the guards from entering and Leandros from escaping.

  • Leandros: Kill that dog! Cut him down!

As the guards close in, Ezio uses another variation of his bombs to dispatch them, allowing him to take down multiple guards with an impact bomb. As the pain of his injury reduces after Ezio tends to his wounds at a medicine cart, he takes the quick way across the rooftops to reach his target. While arquebusiers shoot at him, Ezio manages to dodge them and starts to climb the tower where Leandros had taken refuge. Seeing Ezio approach, Leandros throws one of his guards off of the tower, intending to slow Ezio down.

  • Leandros: Do your worst, malakas! (asshole!)

Leandros' final moments.

As Ezio dodges the guard, who breaks through a wooden platform, Ezio climbs higher.

  • Leandros: Face me.

Ezio reaches the top of the tower as Leandros backs away from him.

  • Leandros: What does it take to kill you, eh? Why will you not die?
  • Ezio: Don't you ever stop howling?

With Leandros cornered, Ezio grabs and headbutts the Templar, before he forces his hidden blade into his body.

  • Ezio: Requiescat in pace, bastardo. (Rest in peace, bastard.)

As Leandros falls, one of the seals drops from his hand, which Ezio bends down to retrieve.

Outcome

Ezio succeeds in killing the Captain of the Byzantine guard, and retrieves one of the five seals left behind by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.
