&lt;div&gt;Hmm, &lt;br /&gt;
Well First off Congrats to Vatsa :D&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As to the news off departing... I am not really surprised by this,  so much dissappointment was displayed, by both members of this wiki and those that go to the forums or FB. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, I too WAS dissappointed with AC:R, but you have to hand it to McDivitt, The story was more indepth than before, and it WAS more Story based. And Amanico, too, did a good job, while they didn&#039;t neccessaryly (Can never spell that word :/) work, there was varied missions, Not all &#039;Revenge for my family, after 40 years&#039; but some more &#039;this guy now wants to calm down and enjoy whats left&#039; (E.g. the flower collecting mission&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, While, I thought AC:R was not the best, it tried some new things, that didn&#039;t always work. And had a &#039;feeling&#039; some &#039;changes&#039; would be made. It will be sad to see them go... So good luck to them both  :D&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;&#039;Venice&#039;&#039;&#039; (Italian: &#039;&#039;Venezia&#039;&#039;) is a city located in northern [[Italy]]. During the 15th century, Venice was the capital and largest city of the [[Wikipedia:Most Serene Republic|Most Serene Republic]] of Venice, and consisted of five districts: [[San Polo District|San Polo]], [[San Marco District (Venice)|San Marco]], [[Dorsoduro District|Dorsoduro]], [[Castello District|Castello]], and [[Cannaregio District|Cannaregio]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically founded by refugees from the Hunnic and Germanic invasion of Padua, Aquileia, and Altino, Venice developed into a major trade and naval power in southern Europe, becoming one of the wealthiest cities in the world, and by the year 1499 was engaged in sporadic conflict with the [[Ottoman Empire]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed II]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Establishment===&lt;br /&gt;
Likely established sometime around the late 7th century, Venice&#039;s lagoon-locked location was the result of [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] settlers attempting to hide from Lombard invaders. By the Middle Ages, the city had grown into a great naval power. Its strategic position at the top of the Adriatic meant that ships taking goods inland had to go through Venice, filling its coffers with money and commerce.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Venisegrandcanal.jpg|thumb|215px|The Grand Canal in Venice.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Entering the late Middle Ages, Venice exercised influence over both its neighboring states and the Church. When the Fourth Crusade rolled around in 1202, the crusaders required transport on Venice&#039;s ships, which the Venetian Doge, Enrico Dandolo, agreed on the condition that the crusaders retake the Dalmatian city of Zadar and then capture [[Constantinople]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Venice&#039;s wealth grew, so did its fleet. Through sea battles Venice gained Byzantine territory, Hungarian territory, and destroyed the Genoese fleet. Venice&#039;s fortunes were so entwined with the sea that every year the Doge would throw a ring into the lagoon while saying in Latin: &amp;quot;We wed thee, sea, in the sign of the true and everlasting Lord.&amp;quot; Despite much eye-raising about the godliness of sea-human relations, the Pope sanctioned the marriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Assassin presence===&lt;br /&gt;
As early as the 13&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;th&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; century, Venice had a notable [[Assassins|Assassin]] presence; the area surrounding Venice was home to an Assassin and his son – [[Domenico Auditore]]. Both enjoyed the patronage of the famed explorer [[Marco Polo]], an ally of the Assassins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II: Auditore Family Crypt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Auditore Family Crypt|Assassin&#039;s Creed II: Auditore Family Crypt]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Assassins remained present in the city up into the 15&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;th&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; century, occupying positions of command amongst the [[Venice Thieves Guild|thieves]], [[mercenaries]], and [[courtesans]] of the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Renaissance===&lt;br /&gt;
====Templar underground====&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|What are your masters plotting? Speak! As God is my witness I will cut your throat!|Giovanni threatening the Barbarigo courier.|Assassin&#039;s Creed II}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GiovanniLineagePart2Meeting.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni spying on the Templar meeting.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Templar orchestrated [[Assassination of Galeazzo Maria Sforza|assassination of]] [[Galeazzo Maria Sforza]] in 1476, [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze]] departed for Venice after finding a Venetian coin in [[Giovanni Andrea Lampugnani]]&#039;s possession. Arriving in Venice, Giovanni Auditore assassinated a [[Guards|guard]] at the Doge&#039;s residential palace, the [[Palazzo Ducale di Venezia|Palazzo Ducale]], and made his way inside the building. Once inside, Giovanni spied on a meeting between two members of the [[House of Barbarigo|Barbarigo family]], and a courier, who was set to carry a letter to their master. Giovanni tailed the courier through the city streets, eventually attacking him in a deserted square. Giovanni fought fiercely with the courier, and eventually pressed his [[hidden blade]] to the courier&#039;s neck, demanding to know what his masters were plotting. However, the courier claimed that his life was not Giovanni&#039;s to take, and that his secrets would be gone with himself. He then told Giovanni to &amp;quot;go to Hell&amp;quot;, before being impaled by the latter&#039;s blade. Giovanni then took the letter the courier had in his possession, and departed from the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed: Lineage&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Lineage]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Templar allegiances====&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|I am two steps from the Doge himself. I am beside him day and night! You WISH you could be where I am!|Carlo to Silvio about his powerful influence.|Assassin&#039;s Creed II}}&lt;br /&gt;

Following the [[Templars|Templar]] failure to usurp control of [[Florence]] during the [[Pazzi conspiracy]] in 1478, [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Master]] [[Rodrigo Borgia]] and his allies – the Barbarigo family – stepped up their plans to take control of Venice. Influencing powerful members of the Venetian government, such as [[Carlo Grimaldi]], the Templars built up a network of allegiances in the city. However, these allegiances were severed as the Assassin, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], began to hunt these members of the Templar Order throughout Venice.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Hunting the Templars====&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|There are still others I must hunt, Signore. They&#039;re already digging their claws into the heart of Venezia.|Ezio to Lorenzo de&#039; Medici after the events of the [[Pazzi Conspiracy]].|Assassin&#039;s Creed II}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Hunt in Venice}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EMG 1.png|thumb|220px|Ezio, Rosa, and Antonio meeting at the Thieves Guild.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Ezio Auditore arrived in the city in 1481, and quickly allied himself with the Thieves Guild based in Venice. Ezio and the [[thieves]] gradually proceeded with a plan to assassinate the powerful Venetian merchant, [[Emilio Barbarigo]]. Once their preparations had been completed, Ezio left for the [[Palazzo della Seta]], the residence of Emilio. Before slaying the corrupt merchant, however, Ezio observed Emilio meeting with a government official, who informed the former of a Templar meeting to take place in three days at [[Santo Stefano]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After assassinating Emilio, Ezio tailed the Templar meeting, and overheard discussions of a plan to assassinate the Doge of Venice, [[Giovanni Mocenigo]]. Confused and worried, Ezio decided to meet with [[Antonio de Magianis]], leader of the Thieves in Venice, and the two attempted to get Ezio inside of the Doge&#039;s palace using a [[Flying Machine|flying machine]] created by [[Leonardo da Vinci]]. However, the Assassin was unable to reach the Doge in time and prevent his death, but Ezio did manage to assassinate a fleeing Carlo Grimaldi. After this ordeal, the Templars placed one of their own, [[Marco Barbarigo]], on the Venetian throne.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once brought in as the new Doge, Marco was remarked as a terrible leader, and one who never left his Palazzo, for fear of the Assassin, Ezio Auditore.[[File:HaB_7.png|thumb|250px|Ezio aims his hidden gun at Marco.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Marco could not evade the Assassin forever, though, and in 1486 he hosted the annual private ball on [[Carnevale]] for select guests chosen by the Doge. However, there was a [[golden mask]] that allowed one person entrance to the private party, as long as they were able to win it through a series of games.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this in mind, another one of Ezio&#039;s allies in the city, [[Teodora Contanto]], brought Ezio to the Carnevale games, where he competed in four different games, utilizing his special skills to win each game. Despite his victory, [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and his bodyguard, [[Dante Moro]] knew of Ezio&#039;s plan, and bribed the host of the games to give the mask to Dante. Angry and desperate, Ezio then headed back and met with Teodora and Antonio, who advised him to steal the mask off of Dante, rather than Ezio&#039;s idea of killing him. After stealing the golden mask, Ezio headed for the Doge&#039;s party, and was allowed in without any hesitation by the guards. However, Dante arrived just after Ezio, and searched the crowd, unsuccessfully, for the Assassin. Ezio then emerged as Marco spoke on a boat offshore, and shot him with his [[Hidden Gun|hidden gun]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ezio_Antonio_Agostino_at_the_seta.jpg|thumb|215px|left|Ezio and Antonio meeting with Agostino.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Marco Barbarigo and the ascension to power of his brother, [[Agostino Barbarigo]], an ally of the Assassins, Ezio began to search for Silvio Barbarigo, cousin to Agostino, and his bodyguard Dante Moro. Ezio learned that the two had barricaded themselves within a [[Arsenale di Venezia|shipyard]] with two hundred mercenaries accompanying them. In need of support and an ally, Ezio freed the notorious Venetian fighter and strategist, [[Bartolomeo d&#039;Alviano]], from a small prison in the military district, and the two plotted to rid the city of Silvio and Dante.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After discussing a plan to kill both Silvio and Dante, Ezio liberated Bartolomeo&#039;s captured mercenaries, and then set them up in strategic points around the city in order to create chaos to cause Silvio to dispatch some of his men. With Silvio&#039;s mercenaries engaged in battles around the city, Bartolomeo and Ezio attacked Arsenale, with Bartolomeo battling Dante and Ezio fending off the guards at the gates. Eventually, Silvio ordered Dante back to the shipyard and sent out his reinforcements, as their Templar ship was about to set sail. However, Bartolomeo and his men fought off Silvio&#039;s reinforcements, and bought Ezio enough time to assassinate the two Templars.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Venice was finally freed from its Templar oppression, Ezio learned from a dying Dante that the Templar plot to acquire Venice had merely been a distraction for the Assassins&#039;, so that the Templars might safely dispatch their vessel to [[Cyprus]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Removal of Agostino====&lt;br /&gt;
Between 1502 and 1503 [[Francesco Vecellio]] and his team of Assassins traveled to Venice to poison the corrupted and [[House of Borgia|Borgia]]-influenced Agostino Barbarigo. Before they left, he made sure that Agostino&#039;s successor was on the Assassins&#039; side.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed: Project Legacy&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Project Legacy]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Carnevale====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Carnevale_in_venezia.jpg|thumb|250px|Carnevale in Venice.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Venice hosted the famed Carnevale celebrations annually in the southern section of the city. Traditionally, the [[Civilians|citizens]] of Venice would don masks, allowing them to indulge in a variety of entertainments wilder than would normally be socially acceptable. Typically, Carnevale was celebrated with fireworks, carnival performers, and a series of games, with the winner of these games being awarded a golden mask that granted entrance to the Doge&#039;s personal ball.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Modern Times====&lt;br /&gt;
By 2012, the centre of the San Marco district was used as a simulated training ground by [[Abstergo Industries]], in order to train their [[Abstergo recruits|recruits]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Even after the events of the Carnevale, the citizens will continue to celebrate it for the remainder of the [[Assassin&#039;s Creed II|game]], albeit without fireworks, in the district of Dorsoduro.&lt;br /&gt;
**However, this can be explained as the only memories Ezio has of Dorsoduro were during the Carnevale and so it is the only way he knows the district.&lt;br /&gt;
*The guards in Venice are far more skilled than those in Florence, and are also better equipped.&lt;br /&gt;
*Venice is the only city where [[horses]] are unable to be used in &#039;&#039;Assassin&#039;s Creed II&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*On the border of the San Polo and San Marco districts, there are two painters who are looking out across the river, yet are both painting a portrait of a person.&lt;br /&gt;
*The heart of the San Marco district in the city is host to a [[Multiplayer/ACBH#Locations|multiplayer map]] in &#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Brotherhood]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Revelations]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Along the many canals, there are many free running opportunities due to the pieces of wood jutting out of the buildings.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Quote|Behind his sinister smile lies a deadly, twisted killer, on a mission to charm his way into your heart using his two khanjar daggers to make sure it stops beating.|Description.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Ottoman Jester&#039;&#039;&#039; (real name:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Dulcamara]]&#039;&#039;&#039;) was an Animi Avatar used by [[Abstergo Industries]] to train their [[Abstergo recruits|recruits]] in the second stage of the Animi Training Program, and he was only unlocked through pre-ordering Assassin&#039;s Creed Revelations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similar to his [[Italy|Italian]] [[Harlequin|counterpart]], but not in the same manner, the Ottoman Jester used twin khanjar daggers as his specialty weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unique Moves==&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester had several unique moves:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;(Low Profile, Front)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester approaches his target and brutally kicks their left knee. Whilst his victim grasps at their possibly-broken limb, the Jester takes the opportunity to slash the right of their abdomen with one of his khanjar daggers and then fluidly impales their heart from behind with it. Pulling his weapon back out, he watches sadistically as his target&#039;s body falls to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;(Low Profile, Back)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester walks up behind his target and stabs one of his khanjar daggers into their back. As his victim recoils in agony, he spins around in a full circle and slashes his weapon across their side, opening a deep wound while they collapse to the floor from their fractured spine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;(High Profile, Front)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester runs up and hastily removes one of his khanjar daggers. Cruelly stabbing it down into his target&#039;s leg, he impales their back with his second as they keel over from his first strike. The Ottoman Jester then bounds over their back, savagely ripping out his daggers and plants the one in his right hand into his victim&#039;s chin, fatally impaling their brain and leaving them to bleed on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;(High Profile, Back)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester runs up behind his target and forcefully pushes his target onto the floor. Rendered defenseless as they fall face-forward, he rides them into the ground and withdraws both of his khanjar daggers, alternating the two as he stabs them into his victim&#039;s back. After peppering them with multiple wounds, the Ottoman Jester stands up, satisfied, while he leaves his dead target bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;(Bench Kill)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester grabs his seated target&#039;s foot and drags them off the bench, until their head rests against it. Before his victim can do anything to defend themselves, he forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking his target&#039;s neck on the bench behind them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;(Aerial Kill)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester leaps from a rooftop as he removes his dagger in mid-air, before landing on his target and planting the weapon into their head. Standing up, he stores his dagger away at his belt, and leaves his victim on the ground to die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Taunts==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Your skills are farce.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;I will make a fool of you.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Customization==&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottoman Jester could not be customized, alongside the [[Ottoman Doctor]], the [[Courtesan (Animi Avatar)|Courtesan]] and the [[Knight]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*The Ottoman Jester is available only with the Animus, Collector&#039;s or Templar Collector edition of &#039;&#039;Assassin&#039;s Creed: Revelations, &#039;&#039;or by pre-ordering the Signature Edition/Ultimate Bundle at Gamestop.&lt;br /&gt;
