Assassin’s Creed Shadows begins with Yasuke as he arrives in Japan with a couple of monks trying to preach the Christian faith in Portuguese. Lord Nobunaga, the ruler of Japan at that time, takes a shining to Yasuke and barters a deal with the monks. In exchange for Yasuke, who was their slave, Lord Nobunaga would permit the monks their freedom to preach across Japan, and it’s a deal they happily take.
