'''Fra Giovanni Giocondo''' (c. 1433 – 1515) was an Italian architect, antiquary, archaeologist, and classical scholar.

He appears in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', where he had many conversations with [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] about his son, [[Vieri de' Pazzi]]. One of those letters was acquired by Vieri.

===Letter===
Messer Francesco,

I have done as requested and spoken with your son. I agree with your assessment, though only in part. Yes, Vieri is brash and prone to act without forethought. And he has a habit of treating the [[Mercenaries|mercenari]] like playthings. I've received reports of at least three men being disfigured as a result. But I do not think him, as you put it, beyond repair. Rather, I believe the solution to be a simple matter.

He seeks your approval. Your attention. These outbursts of his are a result of insecurities borne out of a sense of inadequacy. He speaks of you often and fondly and expresses a desire to be closer to you. So if he is loud and foul and angry - I believe it is simply because he wants to be noticed. He wants to be loved.

Act as you see fit on the information I've given you here. But I must ask that we end this correspondence. Were he to discover the nature of our conversations, I fear what might become of me.

Yours in confidence,

Fra Giocondo

In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', '''Feathers''' are used by [[Assassins]] such as [[Altaïr]] to prove that an assassination target is dead. By staining a feather with the blood of the slain, they prove their accomplishment. [[Assassins' Bureau]] leaders always gives the Assassin chosen for the slaying a feather, symbolizing that they are ready to perform the assassination. In the case of [[Altaïr]], he must perform his own [[investigations]], so the Leader decides whether or not his learnings are sufficient.

Among Assassins, a "feather on one's head" means a mark of death. For example, an Informant assassin in the Rich District of [[Damascus]] makes the remark "I hear there is a feather on [[Abul Nuqoud|Abul Nuqoud's]] head," implying that he is marked for assassination.
