'''Giuliano di Piero de' Medici''' (1453 - 26 April 1478) was the brother of [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] and the father and uncle of Giulio de' Medici by his mistress and Cousin, Fioretta Gorini.

On April 26, 1478, Giuliano attended High Mass in Florence along with his mistress and his brother, Lorenzo. Before they could enter [[Santa Maria del Fiore|the cathedral]], they were attacked by the [[Pazzi Conspirators]]. [[Bernardo di Bandino Baroncelli]] began the attack, slashing Guiliano in the chest. As [[Francesco de Pazzi]] advanced on him, Guiliano begged for mercy, but Francesco refused, and stabbed him 19 times in the chest, killing him.

His son and nephew Giulio de' Medici was born one month after these events.

==Triva==
*His son, Giulio de' Medici went on to become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Clement_VII Pope Clement VII]
*Giulio was also through a loophole in the law, a legitimate child and was brought up by Lorenzo.

Vatican Vault

2010-09-03T16:50:46Z

{{Spoilerhd}}
[[File:Zw-vault-2.png|thumb|300px|The Vault]]
'''The Vault''' was a large chamber constructed by [[Those Who Came Before]], located beneath the Sistine Chapel in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter's_Basilica Vatican], in order to transmit a warning to [[Desmond Miles]] in the year 2012.

===Entering The Vault===

It appears that the only way to enter The Vault is by means of combining two [[Piece of Eden|Pieces of Eden]], held by a chosen descendant of Those Who Came Before, most likely a member of the bloodline of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]. Recognized as "The Prophet", [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] was able to enter The Vault by using [[Piece of Eden#34: The Staff|the Staff]] in conjunction with the [[Piece of Eden|Apple of Eden]]. [[Rodrigo Borgia]] was unable to enter The Vault.

=== Inside The Vault===

The floors, walls and pillars of The Vault are covered in glyphs that only appear as Ezio moves near them because as Those Who Came Before knew, he possessed Altaïr's supernatural gift of [[Eagle Vision]], and was therefore deemed worthy to see the images as The Prophet. It was thought by Borgia that The Vault contained God himself. Unbeknown to all, The Vault contains a holographic projector. [[Minerva]], who appears through this device, explains that she is part of a highly advanced race that existed before mankind, Those Who Came Before. She explains that her race had created humans, but soon faced rebellion thereafter. Glyphs on the wall confirm this, showing an Egyptian hieroglyphic with a god holding a Piece of Eden as humans charge toward him with weapons.

According to Minerva, the Temples were built by "those who knew to turn away from war," presumably those who did not fight or did not want to fight in the war between the humans and Those Who Came Before. The reason for this was an unknown catastrophe, presumably a large solar flare, that significantly damaged the Earth and killed off most of both species. Those in the Temples worked to protect the world, and Minerva tasks [[Desmond Miles]] (speaking to him through Ezio) with locating the other Temples to avert another cataclysm.

=== Minerva's speech===

[[Video:The Vault|thumb|left|300px|Minerva's Message to Desmond]]

<blockquote>"''When we were still flesh, and our homes still whole, your kind betrayed us... We who made you. We who gave you life. We were strong but you were many, and both of us craved war. So busy were we with earthly concerns, we failed to notice the heavens, and by the time we did, the world burned until naught remained but ash. It should have ended then and there, but we built you in our own image. We built you, to survive, and so we did. Few were our numbers, your kind and mine. It took sacrifice, strength, compassion, but we rebuilt, and as life returned to the world, we endeavored to ensure this tragedy could not be repeated. But now, we are dying, and time will work against us. Truth turned into myth and legend. What we built, misunderstood. Let my words preserve the message and make a record of our loss. But let my word also bring hope. You must find the other temples, built by those who knew to turn away from war. They worked to protect us, to save us from the fire. If you can find them, if their work can be saved, so too might this world. Be quick, for time grows short, and guard against the cross, for there are many who will stand in your way.''
<br /></blockquote>

<blockquote>''It is done. The message is delivered. We are gone now from this world, all of us. We can do no more... The rest is up to you, Desmond.'''''"'''</blockquote>

<blockquote>Minerva's message implies that the Temples contain some sort of assistance or research in saving the world from a repeat of the catastrophe that occurred before.</blockquote>

==Notes==
*During Minerva's speech, a glyph of [[w:Step pyramid|step pyramids]] with what appears to be a Piece of Eden hovering over it appears on the wall. This could mean that another Temple is located in South America or a [[w:zigurrat|ziggurat]] in Mesopotamia or even the ancient [[w:Temple of Borobudur|Temple of Borobudur]] in Indonesia.
*The logo of [[Abstergo Industries]] can be seen in the vault.

'''Giovanni Mocenigo''' (1409 - 14 September 1485) was Doge of Venice from 1478 to 1485. During his life, he had fought with Mohammed II and Ercole I d'Este, the duke of Ferrara.

==Description==
Doge Mocenigo was close with [[Carlo Grimaldi]], who was in secret a [[Templar]]. He did not fully trust Carlo, who subtly attempted to recruit him to the Templar cause. However, when Grimaldi's superiors learned that the [[Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|who had killed]] the [[Pazzi]] was in Venice and had killed [[Emilio Barbarigo]], they decided that there was no longer time for this plan. At a Templar meeting, Carlo received the order to kill Mocenigo from [[Rodrigo Borgia]], [[Grand Master]] of the Templars.

Ezio Auditore overheard this meeting and broke into the Palazzo Ducale using [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s [[Flying Machine]]. However, Grimaldi had already poisoned Mocenigo. As Mocenigo began to cough up blood, Ezio followed Carlo into the courtyard of the palace and killed him, avenging the Doge. Miraculously, the Doge managed to stumble into the courtyard. Delirious now, he yelled, "You...You killed me? You killed ME!?". As a result, Ezio was mistakenly labeled Mocenigo's killer.

Following his death, he was replaced by [[Marco Barbarigo]].
==Trivia==
*Though he is 76 when he dies he does not look it, while having wrinkles, he still has red/brown hair and no white.
