It is doubtful that a monastery would have been built by Franciscan monks in Greece, althought the Catholic Venetians did have significant territorial gains in the Aegean sea and on various Greek Islands, eventually conquering as far as Cyprus. St. Francis is supposed to have visited Cyprus [http://www.cypruscatholicchurch.org/], making it one of the possible sites for Tihocan's tomb.
 
 
The location of Phrygia, which was the kingdom of the mythic King Midas is actually based in inland Turkey. This could suggest then, that all the Greek levels are not actually based in Greece, but in Turkey - but that the structures were built by Asiatic Greeks who colonised parts of Turkey themselves. Whether a Catholic monastery would have been built in Turkey is therefore unlikely, but it is possible that earlier groups of Christians such as the Armenian, Syriac or Greek Orthodox Churches - as the style of the building in Anniversary is certainly not lavish enough to be from the Medieval period.
 
 
The name of the monastery - Saint Francis - might refer to the number of animals (lions, crocodiles, gorillas, bats and rats) present within the structure, and not to the saint himself. It could even be a later name for the monastery.

Biography

Tihocan along with Qualopec both sentenced Natla to eternal imprisonment for misusing her power of the Scion in an attempt to create genetic mutations and for using the army of Atlantis against them. He and Qualopec were present at her incarceration in present day New Mexico, USA. In Anniversary Tihocan was the one who summoned the ice to imprison Natla in contrast to a machine used in the original game. They then sealed her piece of the Scion within the city of Khamoon in a sanctuary.

After the destruction of Atlantis, he escaped to Greece. He established a civilization of antiquity and tried to keep rule over the barren lands. He died (allegedly) and was supposed to be buried in a tomb along with his piece of the Scion. On top of his tomb lay layers of huge complex composed of a Cistern, a palace dedicated to the Phrygian King Midas, an Amphitheatre and the monastery St. Francis. It is ambiguous to whether Tihocan constructed this complex. The door to his tomb is guarded by two Atlantean centaurs that resemble statues, but which are revived when the tomb is opened.
