'''Silvio Barbarigo''' (1435–1486), sometimes called "'''Il Rosso'''", was the cousin of [[Marco Barbarigo]], a government official, and a [[Templars|Templar]]. He was a state inquisitor of [[Venice]] but was angry that his relatives are far more powerful than him. He is somehow related to [[Emilio Barbarigo]]. His father was killed by Silvio's uncle when he was young. He became an advisor to his wealthy uncle, and uncovered a plot by the Soranzo family against his uncle. To prevent this, Silvio invited the family to an Easter celebration and toasted the family on the balcony. Unknown to everyone else, this was a signal for archers hidden behind the courtyard windows to fire on the family and kill them. Ten years later, he had his uncle murdered by his mother and sister and convinced everyone he had died in bed. He then took over his uncle's luxurious palazzo.

Silvio is first seen at a meeting in Venice with Marco, [[Dante Moro]] and [[Carlo Grimaldi]]. They plot to kill the Doge of Venice, [[Giovanni Mocenigo]], and Silvio says he can get a shipment of [[cantarella]] to poison the Doge, as it is very hard to trace. He is next seen in Venice at the Carnival, where he cheats in order to stop [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] from attending Marco's party and killing him. After Marco's death, Silvio hires Dante and various mercenaries to take control of the arsenal, the military quarter of Venice. However, he loses the arsenal to Ezio and [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]] and attempts to flee in a boat bound for [[Cyprus]] (which is sailing there to collect a [[Sixth Apple|Piece of Eden]]). Silvio and Dante are both killed while running toward the docks by Ezio.

==Final Words==
'''Ezio:'' '''What's happened here? Why the boats? I thought you sought the Doge's seat.''

'''Silvio: '''''Just a distraction. We were meant to sail...''

'''Ezio:''' ''Sail where?''

'''Silvio: '''''I'll never tell.''

''(Silvio dies)''

'''Dante: '''''Cyprus is their destination. They want....they....want...''

''(Dante dies)''

'''Ezio:''' ''Non temete l'oscurità - accettate il suo abbraccio. Requiescat in Pace.'' (Fear not the darkness - but welcome it's embrace. Rest in Peace.)
