'''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). 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.

=== ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]'' ===

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 (Which Rodrigo is currently at). Uberto immediately knows whats 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 Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]], [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]] and [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|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 suprise, Uberto confesses 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 vengence. After Ezio dispatches the guards watching the courtyard, he 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 ==
'''Uberto:''' ''You would have done the same. To save the ones you love.''

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

== Trivia ==

*Uberto saved the Templars from many close calls by destroying evidence of their conspiracy and hindering their enemy's 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 ploting with them).
*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.
