'''Lanz''' (1480 - 1503) was the leader of the [[Rome]]-based gang of [[thieves]], the [[Cento Occhi]]. Shortly after being discovered robbing a Borgia carriage, he began working for the [[Templars]], under the command of [[Cesare Borgia]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref><ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> <br />
<br />
He appears as a playable character in the multiplayer mode of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', under the title of the [[Footpad]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Working for the Borgia===<br />
[[File:Rake.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Lanz on the streets of Rome.]]<br />
Lanz fell in love with a woman, and they were to have a baby. However, the baby was miscarried and Lanz fell into a depression. He subsequently joined the Cento Occhi gang, a gathering of young thieves, and resorted to ''"pushing men off buildings."'' Some time later, he became the gang's leader.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
In 1503, he was visited by [[Fiora Cavazza]], who came representing Cesare Borgia, shortly after he and his gang had robbed a carriage belonging to the Borgia. At first, he paid no mind to the woman, but realized that she knew that he was responsible for stealing from the carriage after she threw a [[Multiplayer Weapons#Shivs|familiar knife]] at his feet. Fearing [[House of Borgia|the Borgia]], he offered to return the money, but was instead enlisted into their service, where he and the Cento Occhi would deliver several payments for them.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy" /><br />
<br />
===Death===<br />
That same year, Lanz's wife also fell into a depression, and called for him to return to her, or she would take her own life. She stood upon a rooftop, and planned to throw herself off when Lanz arrived, to remind him of the man he once was.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
However, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore]] found her first, and was able to prevent her from committing suicide. He reassured her, saying that she should not take the responsibility for Lanz's deeds, and that he would take care of Lanz for her.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
Ezio searched the Southwest tip of the [[Centro District]] for Lanz, and eventually found him free-running across the buildings. He pursued him until he came within range, and assassinated him with his [[hidden blade]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
==Dialogue of Lanz's demise==<br />
Ezio encounters a distressed woman on a rooftop in the Centro district. She is standing at the edge of the building, preparing to take her own life.<br />
<br />
*'''Ezio''': ''Careful... I have fallen from my share of rooftops.''<br />
*'''Woman''': ''I am waiting for my Lanz.''<br />
*'''Ezio''': ''Up here?''<br />
*'''Woman''': ''He left me after our baby died. Joined up with the'' Cento Occhi ''(Hundred Eyes) gang. They say he kills now... pushes men from buildings! I tell them I don't believe it.''<br />
*'''Ezio''': ''But you do.''<br />
*'''Woman''': ''I do.''<br />
*'''Ezio''': ''What will you say to him if he comes?''<br />
*'''Woman''': ''I will jump.''<br />
[[File:Lanzcorridor.jpg|thumb|250px|Ezio lays Lanz to rest.]]<br />
*'''Ezio''': ''Why should you pay for his crimes?''<br />
*'''Woman''': ''My death will remind him of the man he once was.''<br />
*'''Ezio''': ''He does not deserve your sacrifice. Where is Lanz?''<br />
*'''Woman''': ''Up here... somewhere.''<br />
*'''Ezio''': ''He will trouble you no more,'' Madonna ''(Madame).''<br />
<br />
Ezio locates Lanz perched on a rooftop.<br />
<br />
*'''Lanz''': Merda! ''(Shit!) Assasini! (Assasin!)''<br />
<br />
After a brief chase, Ezio assassinates Lanz, and lays him to rest.<br />
<br />
*'''Ezio''': Requiescat in pace. ''(Rest in peace.)''<br />

==Database Entry==<br />
Date of Birth: 1480.<br />
<br />
Profession: Thief.<br />
<br />
I've found a brief mention of a thief in Rome called Lanz, who seems to be connected to a variety of domestic disturbances. According to [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]]'s files, Lanz ran with the Cento Occhi gang, which means "Hundred Eyes", I would assume that's a metaphor, but WATCH out.<br />

{{quote|Gaspar de la Croix. Engineer. Marksman. Recluse. He frightens me, but his technical skills are unprecedented.|[[Fiora Cavazza]]|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}<br />
<br />
'''Gaspar de la Croix''' (1466 - 1503) was a master engineer, marksman and a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]]. He was frequently used by [[Cesare Borgia]] to take down easy targets on the field at the start of a battle.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref><br />
<br />
He also appears as a playable character in the multiplayer mode of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', under the title of the [[Engineer]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Working for the Borgia===<br />
In 1503, Gaspar was visited by [[Fiora Cavazza]], who had come on Cesare's request to pick up several parts and equipment that the engineer had repaired. When she arrived at his workshop, she discovered him singing a remorseful song in French, and hesitated to interrupt him.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Chapter 1 - Fiora Cavazza]]</ref><br />
<br />
Throughout her stay, she saw Gaspar as distant and haunted, particularly after he began asking her uncomfortable questions, such as whether she had witnessed death, and if death was driven by fate, chance or choice. Finally, as she departed, Gaspar refused to accept the payment for his services, and was left tinkering with a firearm, which he thoughtfully aimed out his front window at the passing crowd.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy" /><br />
<br />
===Death===<br />
Later that same year in [[Rome]], Gaspar fought to suppress a group of citizens, who had attempted to form a resistance against the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]]. He wielded his arquebus skillfully, and was able to kill many from a distance. However, when the uprising had dwindled to the last man, the [[Assassin|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] chanced upon the scene, and sought to help them.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
As Gaspar killed the final insurgent, Ezio charged the engineer, who quickly chose to flee. Eventually though, Gaspar reached a dead end, and was stabbed fatally by the Assassin's [[hidden blade]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" /><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Spare Parts.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Gaspar aiming his arquebus.]]<br />
*Gaspar de la Croix fights like an [[Arquebusier]].<br />
*"De la Croix" is of French origin and means "from the cross," a reference to his affiliation with the Templars.<br />
*He is a playable charactor in assasin's creed brotherhood multiplayer under the name "The Engineer".<br />
