{{quote|I feel eyes on us.|Dante Moro at the [[Carnevale|carnival]]}}
[[File:Dantemoro.png|thumb|left|Dante at the Venetian carnival.]]'''Dante Moro''' (1460-1486) is a [[Templar]] and personal bodyguard of [[Marco Barbarigo]]. He was previously the captain of the city guard and an heir to one of the most prestigious families in Venice.

Marco desired Dante's wife [[Carlotta Moro|Carlotta]], so he hired a hit on Dante. During the attempt on his life Dante is stabbed 3 times in the body and once in the head. While he miraculously survives the attack, Dante is left with severe brain damage and the mind of a child. After Marco coerces Dante into annulling his marriage to Carlotta, Marco makes Dante his personal slave.

He is first seen in [[Venice]] with Marco, [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and [[Carlo Grimaldi]] plotting to kill the Doge. He is next seen in the carnival with Silvio, where he fights Ezio in hand to hand to win a golden mask. He and Silvio cheat to win the mask and prevent Ezio from entering Marco's private party and killing him. Ezio then steals the golden mask from him and attends the party. Dante shows up and tries to look for Ezio, but fails, resulting in Marco's death. Dante goes with Silvio and escapes to a different part of [[Venice]]. Ezio finds them and kills them both when they are heading for a ship. Ezio asks them where they were going, and Silvio says he will not tell. Dante, however, says they are going to Cyprus, and is about to tell Ezio what for, but died before he could say anything else. After the assassination of Dante Moro, Ezio recovers a letter intended for Dante from his ex-wife Carlotta. Which reads:

''My love, ''

I wonder if ever the day will come when these words might make sense to you once more. I am sorry for what I've done - for what you and I have both become. Though we could not be together , just knowing you were near was enough. And now, with Marco dead, I may yet find a way for us to be joined again.

But do you even remember me? Or were the wounds too grave? Do my words stir- if not your memory, then your heart? It doesn't matter what they say- I know you're still in there, somewhere.

I will find a way, my love. To remind you. To restore you...

Love always,

Carlotta

This letter can be found in the [[Animus]] database in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and also in the novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]''.

==Final Words==
'''Dante: '''Cyprus is their destination. They want....they....want...

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

==Trivia==
*Dante wields an axe, much like the ones that [[Brutes]] carry and fights like one of them.
**Due to him fighting similarly to a Brute, he is sometimes able to disarm Ezio's weapons.
*Despite Antonio telling you not to do so, the player will not fail the mission if they kill Dante after stealing the mask from him and he will still appear at the party later.
*If confronted by Dante after the player steals the mask, the player cannot kill him, nor disarm him (unless you use a Two-Handed weapon's Special Attack), even if his health bar is all the way down. This is also the case after the party where Marco is killed, him being located on a bridge nearby. The only way to defeat him is to make him fall in the water. Even if the player do so, in the next missions he will be alive.
*In the [[Assassin's Creed:Renaissance|novel]], Ezio shoots Dante in the face with the [[Hidden Gun]] on the deck of the Templar ship.

[[File:SILVIOBARBARIGO.png|thumb|150px|left|Silvio meets with other Templars in Venice.]]
'''Silvio Barbarigo''' (1435-1485) was the cousin of [[Marco Barbarigo]] and a Templar. He is a state inquisitor of Venice but is 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 hired [[courtesans]] 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, and Silvio says he can get cantanella 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, we later learn, is sailing there to collect a [[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.<br /><br />

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Asassin's Creed: Lineage]]'', Silvio Barbarigo is portrayed by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0822092/ Harry Standjofski] though his appearance is minor — he is only heard talking with Marco and seen at the end of the film during the Templar meeting.
*In the [[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance|novel]], Ezio guts him with the Hidden Blade.
*The fact that Silvio and Dante Moro are killed at the same time may be a subtle reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Dante Silvio Dante],
one of the characters of ''The Sopranos.''
