'''Vieri de' Pazzi''' (1454 - 1478) was a member of [[Florence|Florentine]] nobility during the [[Italy|Italian]] [[Renaissance]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Vieri was born somewhere in Tuscan region, Italy as the son of [[Francesco de' Pazzi]]. He was extremely spoiled by his father and thought that everything he wanted, he would get.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

One day, he met with [[Cristina Vespucci]] in front of her house, asking her why she "hadn't spread her legs yet." When Cristina refused to become intimate with Vieri, the latter attempted to sexually assault her, but was beaten up by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], who had followed Cristina to her house.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

===As a Templar===
Some time prior to 1476, Vieri joined the [[Templars|Templar Order]], an organization of which his entire [[House of Pazzi|family]] was likely a part of.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

In 1476, Vieri and Ezio, who had become rivals, met on the [[Ponte Vecchio]] in Florence, where they and their friends had a street fight. Vieri himself didn't join the fight, and fled when he realized that he had lost the fight.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

Vieri and Ezio met again when the latter was escaping Florence with his [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|mother]] and [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|sister]] after having assassinated [[Uberto Alberti]]. Vieri tried to kill the three by sending his armed thugs to attack them. However, the three were rescued by [[Mario Auditore]] and his men, after which Vieri fled.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

===Death===
Vieri met with his father, [[Jacopo de' Pazzi|uncle]] and [[Rodrigo Borgia]] (the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order]]) in [[San Gimignano]] in 1478 to discuss the [[Pazzi Conspiracy]]. As soon as the four of them went their separate ways, Mario Auditore and his [[mercenaries]] attacked Vieri's men. Vieri fled to the city walls, where he was assassinated by Ezio Auditore da Firenze.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

==Personality and characteristics==
Vieri was a cruel man who liked nothing more than to win, in any variety of contests. He would call for competitions against other noble families, which were always rigged for his victory. In the rare occasions where he would lose, he would invite the winner and his family to dinner and subsequently poison them by serving them a meal "''to die for.''"

He would do anything to get what he wanted, such as rape, hire thugs to fight for him, and outright kill people who stood in his way. He was also a coward, and would run away when his plans failed.

As revealed in the letter from [[Fra Giocondo]] that [[Mario Auditore]] took from Vieri's body after his death, Vieri had always sought attention from his father, wanting his father to recognize his abilities and devotion to the Templars. Giocondo also guessed that his cruel personality might be due to Francesco's lack of attention for him.

==Final words==
'''Ezio:''' ''What are you and your allies planning? Is this what my father discovered? Is this why he was killed?''

'''Vieri:''' ''I'm sorry, were you hoping for a confession?''

:''(outside the Animus scene)''

'''Ezio:''''' Pezzo di merda! Vorrei solo che avessi sofferto di piu! Hai avuto la fine che meritavi! Spero che bru'- (''Piece of shit! I only wish you'd suffered more! You met the fate you deserved! I hope yo''-)''

'''Mario:''' ''Enough, Ezio! Show some respect.''

'''Ezio:''' ''Respect? After all that's happened? Do you think he would have shown either of us such kindness?''

'''Mario:''' ''You are not Vieri. Do not become him''. (to Vieri's corpse) ''Che la morte ti dia la pace che cercavi.'' (''May death provide the peace you sought)'' ''Requiescat in Pace''. (Rest in peace.)

== Trivia ==
*Strangely, Vieri's birth year is listed to be 1454, whereas his [[Francesco de' Pazzi|father]]'s is 1444. There is likely an error in the database with either one or both of their ages.
*In most cutscenes Vieri speaks in an Italian accent but sometimes, such as when he ambushes Ezio and his family on their way to Monteriggioni, he says "''My condolences for the loss of your father and brothers''!" in a more American accent.
*On the painting of Vieri in the attic of the [[Villa Auditore]], it says he died in 1477, while according to the game's timeline, he was killed by Ezio in 1478.
*Vieri makes a brief reappearance in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' in the first [[Cristina Memories|Cristina Memory]].
**Also, if the fight lasts long enough, the player can gain a database entry for Vieri. Unlike his entry from ''Assassin's Creed II'', however, his database entry in ''Brotherhood'' is written, containing a very brief summary of his attitude and role, and how he died (by the hands of Ezio).
