{{Era|ACB}}'''Giuletta''' was a traitorous [[Courtesans|Courtesan]] operating out of the [[Rosa in Fiore]] brothel in [[Rome]] during the early 1500s, and later independently.

==Biography==
===Background===
Giuletta was a member of the Roman Courtesan's Guild and worked under [[Madonna Solari]], the original owner of the Rosa in Fiore brothel, and her brother [[Santino Solari|Santino]]. She remained an employee at the brothel when it was taken over by [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze]].
===During Assassin control===
Giuletta was seduced by a wealthy [[House of Borgia|Borgia]]-allied Roman, who remains unnamed. He became her benefactor in exchange for sex and secrets from the Courtesan's Guild especially its connection to the [[Assassins Guild]]. One of her fellow courtesans becomes suspicious of her and notifies [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]], telling him to follow her to her benefactor. Upon reaching the benefactor Ezio kills him and confronts Giuletta. Having been found out, Giuletta tried to convince Ezio that she did not know that the benefactor was Borgia affiliated, to which Ezio tells her that she is no longer welcome in the Rosa in Fiore.

Giuletta was scared of Ezio and she was hated by all her fellow Courtesans after her betrayal, so she ran into the arms of another one of her lovers, a Spanish ambassador. A courtesan suggested that Ezio intimidate Giuletta so that she would lead him back to her lover, and thus, allowing Ezio to kill him. Ezio walked up to her in the streets of Rome, this time she pleaded for her life, much more frightened than before, swearing she could explain. Before Ezio could even consider her "explanation" she immediately fled the scene, running away to her ambassador. Ezio chased after her, but she was able to waylay him by calling out to Borgia guards to stop the Assassin. By the time Ezio caught up to her, the ambassador had emerged. He quickley killed the ambassador and then approached Giuletta again. Giuletta, scared for her life, pleads with Ezio, telling him she had no choice. Ezio waves her excuses away, and tells her to leave Rome.

==Trivia==
*In the game, Giuletta's appearance is a randomly generated Courtesan appearance, although she will always have the same hair and clothes.
*In [[Italy]], the more common name is Giulietta, but, probably due to an error, the name is spelled "Giuletta" in the game.

'''Doctors''' are one of the new features added in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', which returns in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. Found on the streets of every city in black robes, and often with a mask with a beak-like shape, they can either refill [[Ezio Auditore]]'s [[Synchronization]] Bar for a fee, or sell him Medicine that can be carried and used later. They also sell him vials of poison for his [[Poison Blade]].

==Appearance and Background==
The clothes of the doctors are as usual for those in their profession, particularly after one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, known as the [[wikipedia:Black Death|Black Death]]. This plague peaked in Europe during the 14<sup>th</sup> century, and is said to have killed 30% to 60% percent of Europe's population. Subsequent to it, the world's population dropped from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400.

To protect from this pandemic and others to come, the doctors dressed in a long black cloak covered with a coating of wax, and a very primitive beak-shaped plague mask, although not all doctors wear the mask. Within this ''Medico Della Peste'' mask, there was a crude filtration system to prevent any virus from entering their system while they performed their duties. This mask was sometimes even worn in [[Venice|Venice's]] [[Carnevale]].

The specific mask that the doctors of the ''Assassin's Creed'' series wear is called the ''Maschera Dello Speziale'' (where ''speziale'' refers someone who sells every kind of medicinal herb). The "beak" of the mask was often filled with various spices and herbs, as many doctors thought that this was a viable method to avoid infection by various diseases. The eyes of the mask were also made out of glass, as it was believed that sicknesses could be caught by face-to-face contact with patients, or by touching infected objects.

==Services==

===Healing===
Doctors will replenish all health after being paid a paltry sum of 50ƒ. The price from the Doctor in [[Monteriggioni]] for his healing services, however, decreases as his stall becomes renovated.

===Medicine===
Doctors sell Medicine (75ƒ each), a healing item that can be carried anywhere. These are identified in-game as smelling salts, and are used as painkillers. The number of Medicine vials the user can carry at one time increases when a larger Medicine Pouch is purchased from a [[Tailor]].

===Poison===
{{quote|In high enough doses, that which cures can kill.|[[Leonardo da Vinci]] on poison.|Assassin's Creed II}}
Doctors sell Poison vials for a sum of 175ƒ. Poison is available only after upgrading Ezio's [[Hidden Blade]] with the Poison Blade. Poison is useful for discrete assassinations or for creating distractions, as it briefly causes the victim to go berserk and draw the attention of nearby [[guards]].

==Trivia==
* Ezio cannot harm doctors, but the first doctor encountered in the game (when with [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]]), is the only one that can be attacked and killed, though only with blades. Doing so does not alert guards, and does not cause or alert you of Desynchronization (due to Ezio killing civilians). Also, when killed, the doctor rises again. A video of this "bug" can be found at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gGyo747xeg this link].
* When you fight with guards in front of a doctor, often he will kneel before you and beg you not to kill him.
* Sometimes [[blacksmiths]] will also be able to restore some health when armor becomes damaged. Repairing the armor will replace some health.
* In the novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]'', the doctor that Federico introduces to Ezio is their family doctor, Dottore Ceresa. Also, instead of having a small stand like other doctors in ''Assassin's Creed II'', he has his own store.
* The doctor in [[Monteriggioni]] is the only one to own a store in ''Assassin's Creed II'', though there are several doctor stores in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
*A [[Malfatto|Templar Doctor]] is an assassination target in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', players can complete the [[Shop Quests|Doctor's quest]] to upgrade the Poison sold by doctors, so that the infected victim will go berserk immediately, instead of stumbling around for a little while beforehand.
*The masks that the doctors wear are the same as what the real life ancient Romans thought the Grim Reaper looked like.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood ''and possibly'' Assassin's Creed 2'', Doctors can be heard saying something in german and then: "That's french" after exiting the purchasing screen.
