Savonarola is not a Templar. Fact. The in-game database says he isn't, he has no connections to them. He was Rodrigo Borgia's main enemy, and if he was a Templar why would he wait for Ezio and the Orsi brothers to be at their weakest so he could steal the Apple? -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 08:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Is it just me, or when you open the gates for Catterina, is he standing near them? or is that just a bystander? [[User:Spoonodeath|Spoonodeath]] 23:54, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

In Battle of Forli? Yep, that's him. [[User:Hewkii9|Hewkii9]] 00:27, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Who voiced him?

'''Uberto Alberti''' (1416-1476) was a family friend of the Auditores and [[Lorenzo de' Medici|Lorenzo de' Medici's]] ally during the time of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', but betrayed them by issuing an arrest on [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]], [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]] and [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] (though he escapes it) by order of [[Rodrigo Borgia]]. He is also Ezio's first assassination target in the game. He is portrayed by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0674837/ Michel Perron] in both ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Lineage'' (casted as "Umberto Alberti" in the film). His family was evicted by the Medici bank and ached for revenge. He was given the opportunity by the [[Knights Templar|Templars]]. He is also considered one of the greatest lawyers in the Italian Renaissance, even though he had no formal education in Law, due to the fact that he was self-taught.

==Biography==
===''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''===
[[File:Uberto Alberti along with Lorenze de medici and Giovanni.jpg|thumb|left|Uberto Alberti in the front, along with Lorenzo de Medici and Giovanni]]
Uberto aids both Giovanni and Lorenzo by giving them advice, but when Giovanni discovers possible evidence of the Templar's plans, Uberto gets rid of it, revealing his true allegiance.

{{-}}
===''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''===
[[File:Uberto Alberti.png|thumb|left|Uberti at Florence]]
Ezio meets Uberto for the first time in Giovanni's office conversing about something urgent, though Ezio is dismissed by his father before he can understand what they were talking about. Soon, Giovanni sends Ezio with a letter containing evidence that he must give to Uberto. Ezio does as his father asks, swiftly making it to Uberto's house (where Rodrigo is currently at). Uberto immediately knows what's in the envelope and asks Ezio if he would like to stay at his house, though Ezio declines. Soon after receiving the letter, Uberto accuses Giovanni, Federico, Petruccio and Ezio (though he escapes because of his errands) of treason. At the day of the execution, Giovanni reminds Uberto of evidence given to him by Ezio that proves his family innocent, but much to his surprise, Uberto claims that he doesn't know what he is talking about, sentencing the three to death. With the sight of their deaths, Ezio runs up to the front the stage claiming that he will kill Uberto for what he has done, but a Brute Guard disarms Ezio before he could get close enough. Escaping the guards, Ezio heads for [[Paola]], leader of the courtesans, who is watching his mother and sister. After a few days of training Ezio, Paola tracks down Uberto for Ezio's vengeance. Ezio follows Alberti to the Santa Croce cloister where he is attending an art exhibition of Maestro Verrochio"s work. He is seen speaking with [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] about the executions and insults Lorenzo. After Ezio dispatches the guards watching the courtyard of the Santa Croce, he sees Uberto speaking with various attending nobles who are congratulating him for the executions. Afterwards, he sees Ezio approaching but, before he can call the guards, Ezio brutally kills Uberto with his hidden blade, stabbing him 5 times in the chest. Avenging his father and brothers, Ezio proclaims to everyone in the courtyard that the Auditore are not dead.

==Final Words==
[[Video:Assassin's Creed 2 - Targets: Uberto Alberti 2/9|thumb|300px|right|Uberto Alberti database video.]]
'''Uberto:''' ''You...(if left alive for a few moments he will call for the guards)''

(Uberto is stabbed in the chest several times)

'''Uberto:''' ''You would have done the same. To save the ones you love...''

'''Ezio:''' ''Yes...I would. And I have!''

(''outside the Animus scene)''

'''Ezio''': THE AUDITORE ARE NOT DEAD!I'M STILL HERE! ME! EZIO! EZIO AUDITORE!

==Trivia==
*Uberto saved the Templars from many close calls by destroying evidence of their conspiracy and hindering their enemies' progress
*It should be noted that Ezio assassinates Alberti in a rather "sloppy" manner when you consider that he does so by stabbing the man with the hidden blade at least six or seven times on the chest, rather than plunging the blade into his target's throat, which is the traditional assassination technique used by other assassins, including his ancestor Altair. Of course, this could be easily explained and understandable to most, since it is Ezio's first time tracking down an assassination target, and he has not been trained extensively by that point or he is simply venting his fury on the man who destroyed his family.
*According to the Animus database's filter, Uberto is not a Templar (while plotting with them). However, when viewing the portraits of Ezio's victims in his room of the Villa Auditore, Uberto's portrait says he IS a Templar.
*The reason why guards tried to take only the boys of the Auditore family could be so that they could no longer conventionally carry on their family name, quite effectively wiping out the Auditore.

{{quote|Here sits the king of all Olympus, and beside him stands Wisdom,to guide his rule|Minerva and Jupiter statues description.}}

'''Minerva''' was one of the many members of [[Those Who Came Before |Those Who Came Before]] who was also known as Merva, and Mera, and so on, before her death.

==''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''==

Minerva appears as a hologram figure within [[The Vault]], and reveals a little of the history of humanity and her people's origins.

She explains the disaster that the Earth suffered, and specifically referred to [[Ezio]] as the "prophet"; she revealed that she was not speaking ''with'' him, but ''through'' him. Minerva apparently knew that [[Desmond]] would one day relive Ezio's memories, as she seemingly addressed the camera (or Desmond's perception of the scene through the [[Animus]]) throughout her monologue, and concluded by saying, "the rest is up to you... Desmond", much to his ancestor's confusion.

==Trivia==
*Minerva is the Roman name for the Greek goddess Athena imported from the Etruscans who called her Menrva, meaning that the people of ancient Greek, Roman and Etruscan times thought [[Those Who Came Before]] were gods.
*Minerva is also one of the statuettes that must be collected to place with her 'partner' Jupiter on one of the pedestals at the villa Ezio's great-great-grandfather built in [[Monteriggioni]].
*Nominally, the Animus translates Italian into English for Desmond's benefit, but Minerva speaks ''to ''Desmond, which would seem to mean she speaks English herself, yet Ezio understands her.
