To avoid Templar scrutiny, Leonardo and Ezio would meet at different locations chosen by Leonardo and denoted with a drawing of a hand on a bench, as a signal for Ezio to wait for him there. During their meetings, Leonardo agreed to reconstruct a second, smaller Hidden Blade that could fit against a standard glove, in order to replace the one Ezio had lost during the fall of Monteriggioni. He also provided him with a [[Metal Cestus|reinforced glove]] to allow Ezio to use the Climb Leap technique, and a forearm-mounted [[poison]] [[dart]] launcher. However, due to being paid "very little" by the Templars, Leonardo needed to ask Ezio for the money for the raw materials upfront.<ref name="An Unexpected Visitor" />

	Leonardo is renowned primarily as a painter. Two of his works, the ''Mona Lisa'' and ''{{Wiki\|The Last Supper}}'', are the most famous, most reproduced, and most parodied portrait and religious paintings of all time, their fame approached only by [[Michelangelo]]'s ''{{Wiki\|The Creation of Adam\|Creation of Adam}}''. Leonardo's drawing of the {{Wiki\|Vitruvian Man}} is also regarded as a cultural icon. Only around fifteen of his paintings survived, due to frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination.<ref name="Wiki" />		Leonardo is renowned primarily as a painter.

	Nevertheless, these few works and his notebooks are an invaluable contribution to later generations of artists. Indeed, Leonardo could arguably be considered the most iconic artist of the Italian Renaissance, with only a handful of his contemporaries—most notably Leonardo's chief artistic rival and fellow Florentine, Michelangelo—posing a real challenge. Leonardo was also revered for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualized a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, the double-hull, and outlined a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.<ref name="Wiki" />		Nevertheless, these few works and his notebooks are an invaluable contribution to later generations of artists.

	After his rescue from the Hermeticists, Leonardo traveled with Niccolò and Ezio to [[Spain]] to chase down [[Micheletto Corella]] and stop him from freeing Cesare. After surviving wild seas, a skirmish in a [[Lone Wolf Inn\|tavern]], long horse rides and constructing [[bombs]], Leonardo decided that he had enough of traveling and fighting.

			At one point, while in Florence, Leonardo visited the [[Basilica di Santa Croce]] to meet with one of his friends. However, he soon sensed something was amiss and noticed several suspicious civilians following his every step. Using a signal taught to him by Ezio, he summoned an Assassin, [[Lo Sparviero]], who was on watch duty nearby and began walking a few steps behind him.<ref name="ACID">''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]'' – [[Niccolò Machiavelli's journal]] – [[Database: Journal – Vengeful Eyes\|Entry #3]]: "Vengeful Eyes"</ref>

After killing the would-be assailant, La Sparviero hurriedly escorted Leonardo to safety. Several corrupt [[House of Medici\|Medici]] guards accosted them along the way and tried to "arrest" Leonardo, but Lo Sparviero dealt with them and kept Leonardo out of harm's way.<ref name="ACID"/>
