'''Duccio de Luca''' (1462 - 1520) was a member of the [[Florence|Florentine]] nobility, who eventually became a trader, ferrying merchandise between [[Rome]] and other cities.

==Biography==
===Early life===
As of 1476, Duccio was promised to [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze]]. However, he cheated on her, saying that his father had told him he ''"could do much better than an [[House of Auditore|Auditore]]".''<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

After Claudia was informed of this by other girls, her brother [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] met with Duccio outside the [[Duomo]]. There, he beat him up as payback, and warned Duccio to stay away from Claudia.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

===Life as a Trader===
In 1506, Duccio visited Rome, where he learned that Claudia had become the Madame of the [[Rosa in Fiore]], Rome's most popular brothel. He met with Ezio Auditore again, and provoked him into a fight.<ref name="Da Vinci Disappearance">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' - ''[[Da Vinci Disappearance]]''</ref>

Though aided by several henchmen, he was unable to beat Ezio. Ezio demanded the location of the three [[Leonardo da Vinci|da Vinci]] paintings that Duccio had acquired, and the merchant admitted that one was on his ship, while the other two had already been sold. Upon insulting Claudia further however, he was ultimately knocked unconscious by Ezio, and left on the docks.<ref name="Da Vinci Disappearance" />

===Later life===
In his later life, Duccio's business failed, and he was left penniless. He barely survived, only just managing to scrape a living, and later died due to rabies, which he likely received from a dog bite.<ref name="Da Vinci Disappearance" />

Duccio will likely be in Assassin's Creed: Revelations as well. He will be one of the only characters to have been in Assassin's Creed: II, Brotherhood and Revelations[[Media:http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed:_Revelations_Achievements]]

==Trivia==
*Duccio is called '''Duccio Dovizi''' in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]''.
