From there, he headed through the marshes to a nearby lighthouse, where he scaled the building, killed Ludovico and rescued Ottaviano. However, upon dispatching Ludovico, Ezio learnt that the captured siblings had been a distraction, allowing for the theft of the Apple. With this, the Assassin hurried back to the city, discovering that Checco had acquired the Apple.<ref name="Godfather" />

	Ezio tracked him down and killed the last Orsi brother and retrieved the Apple, though not before Checco managed to stab Ezio in the abdomen, causing him to lose consciousness and drop the artifact. As Ezio slipped into unconsciousness, he saw a [[Girolamo Savonarola\|black-robed monk]] with a missing finger pick up the Apple and walk away.<ref name="Checcomate">''Assassin's Creed~~: Identity~~'' – ''Battle of Forlì'' – [[Checcomate]]</ref>		Ezio tracked him down and killed the last Orsi brother and retrieved the Apple, though not before Checco managed to stab Ezio in the abdomen, causing him to lose consciousness and drop the artifact.

	Afterwards, Ezio awoke inside the city, where he was being tended to by Caterina, after Forlì guards discovered him in the countryside whilst scouting the area. Upon regaining consciousness, Ezio explained to Caterina what had happened, and she pointed him in the direction of a nearby abbey in the wetlands outside the city as a good spot to look for clues, regarding the location of the mysterious black-robed monk. Additionally, Caterina gave Ezio the Codex map, to which he thanked her and left, with the abbey as his objective.<ref name="Checcomate" />		Afterwards, Ezio awoke inside the city, where he was being tended to by Caterina, after Forlì guards discovered him in the countryside whilst scouting the area.

	Ezio traveled through the Romagna marshlands until he reached the abbey, where he saved an Irish priest, [[Darby O'Callahan\|Brother O'Callahan]], from Borgia thugs. Ezio questioned him about the monk with a missing finger, and O'Callahan directed him to an [[Abbey of San Mercuriale\|abbey]] inside the city of Forlì.<ref name="Far From the Tree">''Assassin's Creed~~: Identity~~'' – ''Battle of Forlì'' – [[Far From the Tree]]</ref>		Ezio traveled through the Romagna marshlands until he reached the abbey, where he saved an Irish priest, [[Darby O'Callahan\|Brother O'Callahan]], from Borgia thugs.

	The Assassin returned to the city and headed for the abbey, however, once he arrived there, one of the priests recognized him as the murderer of [[Stefano da Bagnone]], the [[Templars\|Templar]] that Ezio had assassinated nine years earlier. Fearful, the priest attempted to run away, though Ezio caught up to him and tackled him. He quickly explained that Stefano's death was necessary, and managed to convince the priest of this, before he inquired about the identity of the black-robed monk with the missing finger, which the priest confirmed to be Girolamo Savonarola. From there, Ezio asked where he might have gone, and the monk said that he may have returned to [[Florence]], to which the Assassin quickly departed for.<ref name="Far From the Tree" />		The Assassin returned to the city and headed for the abbey, however, once he arrived there, one of the priests recognized him as the murderer of [[Stefano da Bagnone]], the [[Templars\|Templar]] that Ezio had assassinated nine years earlier.
