Havana (Universe 335)

Havana is the capital and commercial center of the island country of Cuba in the Caribbean.

Founded by the Spanish in the 16th century, Havana served as a springboard for the Spanish conquest of the Americas and became a stopping point for the treasure-laden Spanish galleons on the crossing between the New World and the Old World. As a result, the city flourished both economically and culturally.

The Assassin Order also maintained a presence in Havana during this time, running an Assassin bureau headed by Rhona Dinsmore. She faced opposition from Templar agent Hilary Flint, who used local pickpockets to fund an arms race against her, though he was eliminated by the combined efforts of Dinsmore and Edward Kenway in 1717. Following Torres' death in 1722 and the subsequent decline of the Caribbean Templars, she was able to expand her branch of Assassins and secure full control of the city for many years, focusing on keeping it safe from territorial squabbles

In 2013, Havana was used as a simulated location created by Abstergo Industries' entertainment branch, in order to influence the general public through the console stage of their Animus technology.

At some point, the skies above the city turn red, the city is than destroyed by anti-matter during the Anti-Monitor Crisis, the city and the rest of the universe are then rebuilt after the sacrifice of Oliver Queen.
