'''The Doctor '''(died 1497) was one of [[Girolamo Savonarola]]'s nine Lieutenants, men that were given power to help Savonarola rule [[Florence]], during the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]]. Like many others, he was being controlled by the use of the [[Apple of Eden|Apple]].

==Biography==
===Rise to power===
Soon after taking control of Florence, Savonarola assigned nine men as his lieutenants. It was their job to make sure the citizens of Florence would obey Savonarola. The doctor did this by only treating the citizens that were loyal to Savonarola, thus forcing those that needed medical treatment to obey Savonarola.
===Death===
[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] found the doctor standing before a large crowd in a courtyard, protected by a line of [[guards]]. The Doctor offered free medical care, on the sole condition that the patients first pledged their loyalty to Savonarola. While he spoke the people, he gave a speech. After bypassing the guards, Ezio assassinated the Doctor. After the Doctor was killed, [[Paola]] and [[La Volpe]] were seen leading a group of [[civilians|citizens]] through the square.

It may be worth noting that, due to the doctor's position (he's right across from you and at your starting altitude) and behavior (he doesn't really move), it is fairly easy to assassinate him with a "no-focus" throwing knife.

===Speech===

''"It's quite simple, amici (my friends). If you desire care, you'll submit yourselves fully to our new ruler. The choice is yours to make. Continue to support [[House of Medici|the Medici]] - who, as you know, have long since fled [[Florence|Firenze]] - or accept Savonarola. Why fight it? Why refuse? He is a good man, strong of character and morals. He seeks to save us from ourselves. And saving is what we need! Before Savonarola came to us, we were mired in lust, pride, gluttony, avarice...need I go on? We shied from the face of God, and why wouldn't we, ashamed of ourselves as we were?"''

==Final Words==

'''Doctor''': ''You have spilled the blood of a healer.''

'''Ezio Auditore''': ''No. I have spilled the blood of a tyrant.''

'''Doctor''': ''To command such power over the body, between this world and the next. It seems, I grew intoxicated.''

'''Ezio Auditore''': ''And now you grow still. La tua morte non sarà inutile... Requiescat in pace. (Your death will serve a purpose... Rest in peace.)''
