What is the name of the Templar grand master in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag?

Laureano Torres is the Templar Grand Master in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

Torres is the governor of Cuba and the senior Templar figure directing the Caribbean conspiracy during the game's main story. He works with other powerful Templars, including Woodes Rogers and Julien du Casse, while pursuing information connected to the Observatory.

The Observatory is an ancient Isu site capable of tracking people through special crystal devices. Torres believes this power can help the Templars impose order, placing him in direct conflict with Edward Kenway and the Assassins operating across the West Indies.

Players sometimes confuse Torres with Edward's father, Haytham Kenway. Haytham is a major character in Assassin's Creed III and was himself a Templar Grand Master, but he is not the principal Templar leader in Black Flag. Torres is based on the historical Spanish colonial administrator Laureano de Torres y Ayala.
