'''La Volpe''' (''The Fox''), or '''Gilberto''' in the [[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance|novel]] Assassins Creed Renaissance, was a master [[thieves|thief]] and a member of the [[Assassins |Assassins Brotherhood]].  According to his database entry, very little information is known about La Volpe, and any that is seems mythical. He is said to have robbed the Papal carriage without any guards noticing him, including the Pope who was obviously sitting inside. One night in [[Florence]], 1467, he was seen on the rooftops of the [[Palazzo della Signoria]], the [[Palazzo Medici]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Croce Santa Croce], all at the same time. It is also said that he is an immortal and can see through buildings, perusing the contents inside.

[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] first met him in [[Florence]] when he was seeking a way to get close to [[Francesco de' Pazzi]]. Ezio's money was stolen by a thief, whom leads him to La Volpe. La Volpe introduced himself, and knew Ezio's name before he could say anything. He claimed that it was his "business" to know everything that happens in Florence. He told Ezio about where [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] and the other Pazzi conspirators would meet, and lead him to the [[Santa Maria Novella]]. La Volpe revealed that catacombs run underneath the city and showed Ezio the entrance to the underground area.

He is later seen during [[Bonfire of the Vanities]] when he helps liberate the areas controlled by [[Girolamo Savonarola]]'s lieutenants with [[Paola]] and [[Niccolò Machiavelli]].

==Trivia==
*In the database files, it claims that La Volpe is only his pseudonym, as there is no record of his actual name. However, in the novel Assassin's Creed: Renaissance, he called himself "Gilberto", but prefers to be known as "La Volpe".
*When it is said that he can see through buildings, this ability of his was likely used around the time Ezio tries to hunt down Francesco de'Pazzi.
*His eyes are coloured violet.
*In reality, 'La Volpe' translates to "The Fox".
