[[File:Carlogrimaldi.png|thumb|left|Carlo in Venice.]]Carlo Grimaldi was a Templar and a government official. He was close to Doge Mocenigo of Venice and plotted to kill him. He was also a member of the Council Of Ten.

Carlo craved political power, and knew the Doge of Venice. He used this to his advantage, and had heard that the Doge's daughter wanted to be with a servant but her father would not allow it. Carlo told them to escape on a boat that very night. When they arrived at the boat, they found Carlo waiting for them with a few guards and the Doge himself. The slave was killed and the Doge trusted Carlo enough to allow him into the Council Of Ten.

Carlo is first seen meeting with [[Emilio Barbarigo]] and informing him of Ezio's arrival in Venice. He leaves just before Emilio is assassinated. He is next seen in Venice meeting with [[Marco Barbarigo]], [[Dante Moro]] and [[Silvio Barbarigo]]. They plot to poison the Doge so one of them can replace him.

Carlo is encountered in the Doge's palace, prior to Ezio's arrival via Leonardo's Flying Machine, where he is playing chess with the Doge after hearing a commotion outside the Palace. Ezio rushes in only to realize that it was too late, the Doge has been poisoned. Carlo blames Ezio and alerts the guards for his death as he runs out of the room. Ezio pursues him and assassinates him in the courtyard.

== Final Words ==
'''Ezio:''' It takes one Assassin to kill another, it seems.

'''Carlo:''' We kill thinking it's best for us, do we not, Messer Ezio?

'''Ezio:''' I do this not for myself. ''Compio questo sacrificio per il bene superiore''. (I make this sacrifice for the greater good.) ''Requiescat in Pace''. (Rest in peace)

Eagle Vision

'''Eagle Vision''' is a first-person view in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. It changes the camera's point of view to that of [[Altaïr]]. It also uses different color glows to distinguish for the player between different classes of NPCs:

{|align="center" border="1" style="text-align:center" cellpadding="10"
|width="250" style="background:red; color:white"|Soldiers or Enemies (Red glow)
|width="250" style="background:white; color:black"|Informants (White glow)
|-
|style="background:blue; color:white"|Allies (Blue glow)
|style="background:yellow; color:black"|Assassination targets (Yellow glow)
|-
|colspan="2"|General [[peasants]] (No color glow in particular)
|}

To use Eagle Vision, the player must press the Head button. Depending on [[Controls|control settings]], the Head button will most likely be either [[File:PlayStationTriangle.svg]] (Playstation 3), Y (Xbox 360), or E (PC default layout). In addition, the [[Synchronization]] bar must be at its current maximum capacity, otherwise pressing the Head button will instead result in a first-person view with no extra benefits.

When Altaïr climbs to the top of a [[View Point]], he must press the Head button to view his surroundings and update the map.

[[File:Eagle_vision.jpg|300x350px|thumb|This is an example of what Desmond sees when he uses Eagle Vision at the end of the game.]]At the end of [[Assassin's Creed]], after Altaïr (controlled by Desmond) kills [[Al Mualim]], Desmond gains the ability to use Eagle Vision outside of the [[Animus]]. This allows him to read hidden messages all over the [[Abstergo]] lab. In addition, [[Lucy]] glows blue, confirming her as an ally.

In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', [[Ezio Auditore di Firenze|Ezio]] can also use the Eagle Vision like his ancestor. However, he can move while using his power unlike Altaïr who needed to stay still (even if the glows remained on the people for some time). The HUD disappears while using it though, and it will be a third-person view. Curious is that when you walk behind Mario and you use Eagle Vision, he lights up yellow as if he were an assassination target.
