They were soon interrupted by the arrival of Ezio. After the Assassin refused Ercole's plea to sway Leonardo into cooperating, he ordered his disciples to kill him, but Ezio effortlessly killed them all before assassinating the Hermeticist leader. Ezio and Leonardo would then penetrate the heart of the temple, only to find a [[Grand Temple\|meaningless number]], leading Leonardo to assume the Hermeticists were wrong.<ref name="The Da Vinci Disappearance" />
