'''El Tiburón''' (English: ''The Shark''; unknown – 1722) was the right-hand man of [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the [[Grand Master]] of the [[Caribbean]] [[Templars]].
==Death==
With Roberts dead and the crystal skull that powered the Observatory in-hand, the Assassin Edward Kenway made the return journey to Havana, in order to confront and assassinate Laureano Torres. He found the city in lockdown, as Torres had anticipated his arrival. With a drop of Torres' blood, Edward tracked the Grand Master through the city to a fort in the north. Edward infiltrated the fort and assassinated Torres, only to find the man he had slain was a double wearing Torres's clothes. He was then set upon by El Tiburón, whose blood had resided in the vial under Torres' name.

After a prolonged fight, Edward succeeded in killing El Tiburón and escaped the fort, having deduced that Torres was already on his way to the Observatory and oblivious to the fact that Edward held what he sought.[4]

==Final words==
*'''Edward:''' ''If you could speak, mate, it would gladden me to hear your side.''
El Tiburón groaned unintelligibly and slumped back.
*'''Edward:''' ''You humbled me once, and I took that hard lesson, and I bettered myself. Die knowing that for all of our conflict, you helped make a soldier out of a scoundrel.''
El Tiburón died.
*'''Edward:''' ''Leave this life for a lasting peace, down among the dead.''

[[File:AC4 El Impoluto.png|thumb|250px|El Impoluto]]
'''''El Impoluto''''' (English: ''The Pristine'') was one of five [[Man O' War#Legendary ships|legendary ships]] encountered by the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]] in the [[Caribbean]], during the [[Golden Age of Piracy]]. She could be found sailing in the Gulf of Mexico.

She was among the most maneuverable vessels in service to the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Spanish Navy|Navy]], easily outpacing smaller vessels like the ''[[Jackdaw]]'' despite its size. The ship was also unique in its construction, possessing a significantly powerful naval ram, capable of inflicting massive damage on an enemy vessel in a single blow.

''El Impoluto'' was one of the most aggressive [[ships]] to sail the West Indies, often hunting down her enemies with powerful chaser cannons, before ramming into them from behind. After ramming, she would often turn and sail farther away before turning around and charging for another attack. Her broadside cannons were generally used only as a secondary weapon.

Despite her advantages, ''El Impoluto'' was eventually sunk by Edward Kenway's ''Jackdaw''.

==Trivia==
*''Impoluto'' is [[Italy|Italian]] and Spanish for "spotless, unblemished, unpolluted".
*Successfully destroying all legendary ships rewarded Edward's ''Jackdaw'' with ''El Impoluto''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s charge attack. When used, the ''Jackdaw''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s speed was temporarily increased in order to deliver devastating damage with the ram.
*The wheel and figurehead of ''El Impoluto'' can be gained in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' by completing community challenges.

'''Girolamo Savonarola''' (1452 – 1498) was a Dominican friar and the leader of [[Florence]] from 1494 to 1498. Despite having great ambitions, most men found him lacking the ability to be a great leader.

In 1488, Savonarola managed to obtain the [[Ezio's Apple of Eden|Apple of Eden]]. Recognizing its powers, he used it to instigate the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]] in Florence; hoping to cleanse the city of everything he regarded as evil, such as art and wealth. This led to his betrayal of Rodrigo Borgia.

==Biography==
Savonarola was born in the city of [[Ferrara]], where, at a young age, he took a moral stance against the corrupt clergy present in [[Renaissance]] [[Italy]].

In 1475, Savonarola studied at Santo Spirito, and became a Dominican friar. In 1482, he was dispatched to Florence, which his Order considered to be the "city of his destiny". During the 1480s, he made little impression, and was often called a poor public speaker.

Seven years later, in 1487, Savonarola departed from Florence for Bologna.<ref name="AC2 - Bonfire">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' - ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)]]''</ref>

===Battle of Forlì===
[[File:Godfather 3.png|thumb|right|250px|Savonarola eavesdropping on the Orsi brothers]]
A year later, in 1488, Savonarola resided in [[Forlì]] for some time, where he caught wind of the existence of the Apple of Eden after passing by the Orsi brothers, who were conversing with [[Caterina Sforza]]. He [[Eavesdropping|eavesdropped]] on them, and from then on, he kept a close eye on the Orsi pair.

By some means, [[Checco Orsi]] managed to take the Apple of Eden from Caterina, and fled with it out of Forlì. Though he was pursued and killed by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], he managed to stab the [[Assassins|Assassin]] in his lower abdomen, causing him to collapse.

Before Ezio lost consciousness, Savonarola appeared, and took the [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] from him.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' - ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)]]''</ref>

===Bonfire of the Vanities===
{{Main|Bonfire of the Vanities}}
After the King of [[France]] drove [[Piero de' Medici]] from Florence in 1494, Savonarola used the Apple he had stolen to take over Florence. After uniting the city under his banner, he began to destroy all Renaissance [[Art Merchants|art pieces]] and books, due to his desire to revert the city back to Medieval times.

When Pope [[Rodrigo Borgia|Alexander VI]], the [[Grand Master]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], found out that Savonarola had the Apple of Eden in his possession, he sent several [[Papacy|Papal]] troops to retrieve it, though with no success.

Meanwhile, Ezio Auditore returned to Florence in 1497, and worked with [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] to overthrow Savonarola, and retrieve the Apple of Eden.

[[File:Power to people 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Savonarola using the Apple of Eden to control Florence]]
Ezio concluded that Savonarola's rule was being enforced by his nine lieutenants, who were suppressing the Florentines. With this in mind, Ezio assassinated all nine of them, who had all been either lured into serving Savonarola, or were being controlled by the Apple.

Once this had been been achieved, his fellow Assassins [[La Volpe]] and [[Paola]] began to encourage the people to fight for themselves. Eventually, Savonarola's grip over Florence was lost.

In May of 1498, an angry mob gathered in front of Savonarola's residence at the [[Palazzo Pitti]] to stand up against him. In response, Savonarola tried to control the mob with the Apple of Eden, but Ezio threw a [[Throwing knives|knife]] at Savonarola's hand, which caused him to drop the artifact.

With Savonarola powerless, the mob took him away, and a Templar [[Agile guards|guard]] fled with the Piece of Eden. Ezio chased after and killed the guard, taking possession of the Apple again.<ref name="AC2 - Bonfire"/>

===Death===
[[File:Mob justice 3.png|250px|thumb|right|Savonarola's demise]]
Savonarola was taken by the Florentine citizens to his execution: being burned alive at the [[Piazza della Signoria]]. In an act of mercy, Ezio decided that no one should die in such agony, and pushed through the crowd towards Savonarola. The Assassin then stabbed him in the neck with his [[Hidden Blade]] before the flames could reach him, ultimately ending his life.<ref name="AC2 - Bonfire"/>

Savonarola's death greatly upset the [[House of Borgia|Borgia family]], as it meant that the Apple had again become out of their reach.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

==Lieutenants==
The following individuals were those who did Savonarola's bidding:
*The [[Painter]]
*The [[Doctor (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Doctor]]
*The [[Preacher]]
*The [[Farmer]]
*The [[Condottiero]]
*The [[Merchant (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Merchant]]
*The [[Nobleman]]
*The [[Priest (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Priest]]
*The [[Captain Guard]]

==Final words==
[[File:Mob justice 4.png|thumb|250px|Savonarola's final moments]]
*'''Savonarola:''' ''It's you. I knew this day would come. Please, show mercy!''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I have. Va' ora – che sia il tuo Dio a giudicarti. Requiescat in pace.'' (Go now – that you may be judged by your God. Rest in peace.)
{{-}}
==Trivia==
*In 1488, Savonarola was missing his little finger, although the reason for this is unknown.
*During the memory "[[A Warm Welcome]]", Savonarola could be seen next to the gate when Niccolò Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza entered the city.
*Historically, Pope Alexander VI tolerated Savonarola's criticisms against the church, but after constant defiance, he had Savanarola hanged and burned at the stake.
*Savonarola's character was quite similar to that of [[Jubair al Hakim]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. Both men believed that knowledge was the path to evil and sin, and both organized massive bonfires throughout their cities to burn books and other sources of knowledge that they believed corrupted society. The memories which resulted in their assassinations were also very similar, as both situations had the respective Assassins take down each of the target's lieutenants before actually confronting them, though for Jubair, killing his lieutenants was optional.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]'', Ezio shot Savonarola with his [[Hidden Gun]] instead of stabbing him.
*Savonarola was mentioned in Machiavelli's ''The Prince'', where his failure was used as a reference in the sixth chapter of the treatise; which stated ''"Moses, Cyrus, Theseus and Romulus would have been unable to have their constitutions obeyed for so long a time if they had been unarmed, as was the case in our own day with Fra' Girolamo Savonarola, who failed with his new laws as soon as the multitude no longer believed in them. He had no way to keep them faithful to what they had believed, or to force the unbelievers to believe."''
*Savonarola was the only assassination target in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' that was obligatory for Ezio to kill (outside of the [[Memory Corridor|memory corridor]]) with his right Hidden Blade.
*During ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', [[heralds]] mentioned Savonarola in a warning to his remaining followers, advising them to either conform with the Church or face inquisition.
