'''Francesco Salviati Riario''' (1443 - 1479) was the Archbishop of Pisa and one of the [[Pazzi]] co-[[Pazzi Conspirators|conspirators]].

Francesco was convinced that he would be the next Archbishop of [[Florence]], thus he was enraged when [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] stood in his way. However, the [[Templars]] were there to heal his wounds. It was Francesco who marched his troops into the city. afterwards, He shed his fancy garments, and traded them for the simple clothes of a farmer. The farmer was hanged, and Salviati fled to his [[Villa Salviati|villa]] in [[Tuscany]]. He was assassinated by the [[Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] with the help from [[Mario Auditore]]'s [[mercenaries]].

==Last Words==
'''Ezio:''' Where is Jacopo?

'''Salviati:''' He knows you come for him... emerging only in darkness to meet with the others...

'''Ezio:''' That answers when... Now tell me where? ''La fede dovrebbe dare conforto, non pena''. (Faith should bring comfort, not pain.) ''Requiescat in Pace''. (Rest in peace.)

==Trivia==
*In real life, Archbishop Salviati was the main instigator of the conspiracy and not the Pazzi family. He was supposed to kill the Gonfaloniere Petrucci and take hold of the Palazzo della Signoria. However, instead, he was arrested by Petrucci, and hanged by a mob from the window of the Sala dei Duecento, next to Francesco de' Pazzi. He bit a large chunk of flesh out of [[Francesco de' Pazzi]]'s chest as he died. Afterwards, his body was cut down and desecrated.

[[File:Zw-assassin-sanctuary-1.png|thumb|400px|The Sanctuary from its entrance.]]
The '''sanctuary''' is a location in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' created by [[Domenico Auditore]] as a tribute to the greatest [[Assassins]] in history found underneath the [[Auditore Family Villa]], with its entrance concealed behind a tall bookcase in [[Mario Auditore]]'s study. It is revealed by Mario Auditore to [[Ezio]] as the game progresses.

It houses seven statues of seven Assassins, though there are six [[Assassin's Seal|seals]] missing needed to unlock [[Altaïr's armor]], which is also housed there.

In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', the Sanctuary serves as the next hideout for [[Desmond]] and the other modern Assassins after the [[Hideout|first one]] got assaulted by [[Abstergo]] at the end of [[Assassin's Creed II|''Assassin's Creed II'']].

==Statues==
From left to right:

*[[Qulan Gal]]
*[[Darius]]
*[[Wei Yu]]
*[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]
*[[Amunet]]
*[[Iltani]]
*[[Leonius]]

==Trivia==
*The sewer-like opening at the back of the Auditore Family Villa is the top of the sanctuary.[[File:001624.png|thumb|280px|Modern day Assassins in Sanctuary.]]
*You can examine all the statues except Altaïr's.
*The face of the statue of Altaïr looks nothing like Altaïr's face in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''.

Darby O'Callahan

Brother '''Darby O'Callahan''' is a character in [[Assassin's Creed II]], appearing in the [[Battle of Forlì]].

==Biography==
Born beyond the Pale (outside the area of British control in Ireland, which was considered savage, hence, the expression "beyond the pale"), '''Darby O'Callahan''' spent his teen years hunting and raiding British settlements. In his papers, he described the time period as "a dark point in my life, but, to be honest, I had my fun too".

When O'Callahan's Gaelic father married a Catholic, everything changed. "He forced me to work the fields. No more raiding, no more girls. It was Hell on Earth", says one particular entry, dated 1462. To escape his father, O'Callahan decided to become a monk. "I was told by my mother that monks did little work, and threw large feasts for the seasonal holidays".

He joined the Abbeylara Monastery in 1462, becoming a Cistercian. Ultimately, however, O'Callahan found the order too austere: "We worked in the fields from dawn until dusk, Abbot Shaw wouldn't allow us to drink, and worst of all, the only girls were nuns. This was a deeper level of Hell than I had ever imagined possible".

Convincing a small group of his fellow monks to join the Dominicans, Darby left [[Ireland]] in 1463 for [[Italy]]: "where we can hire farmers to work for us in the fields. Then, when we give our sermons, we will see the beauty of the Lord in the golden light of Italy and the soulful faces of the farmer's wives".

Ultimately, O'Callahan was kicked out of the Dominican order in 1493, due to "repeated attempts to convert townspeople while within a drinking house". In Darby's own accounts he claims that he had great success with the conversions, although the men "refused to come to church, so I had to return to the ale house for repeat visits to preach the word of the Lord to their receptive ears".

O'Callahan moved to the Romagna countryside in 1494, starting a monastery dedicated to the Order of St. Patrick in an abandoned church, but he didn't have much success in securing converts.

Probably during the same year or shortly after, O'Callahan was attacked by guards from [[Romagna]]. Luckily for him, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] was nearby and saved him from his attackers. Ezio asked him if he knew of a [[Girolamo Savonarola|monk with a missing finger]], to which he could only reply to go look for this monk in Forlì.

In 1500, he died of what had been described as "bad blood", but was most likely syphilis. His body was buried in the small cemetery beside the church.
==Trivia==
*Brother O'Callahan is the only Irish character encountered so far in the Assassin's Creed series.
*O'Callahan is an anglicized version of the Irish name Ó Ceileacháin which means "ancestor of Ceallacán". Other anglicized versions can be written as O'Callaghan or Callahan.
*After saving him in the game you can actually kill him.
