Serving the Borgia[edit | edit source]

Between 1497 and 1503, Lia worked for Cesare Borgia, supplying him with various rare objects and contraband. These objects were usually picked up by Fiora Cavazza, who worked as an envoy for Cesare.[1]

On one such occasion, Fiora followed Lia into a shop that the smuggler had claimed as one of her storehouses. Fiora noted that it "smelled of death," and that she would not be surprised to find the shop owner's body somewhere. The items Lia gathered for Cesare varied from random objects to priceless treasures, though she always insisted on being paid and tipped properly for her services.[1]

Death[edit | edit source]

"Stop chasing me! Figlio di troia! Who sent you?"
―Lia, as she is pursued by Ezio Auditore.[src]-[m]

In 1503, Lia took a contract to kill a young shopkeeper named Monica, who had refused to close her store when the Borgia declared jurisdiction over the area it was located in. The Assassin Ezio Auditore later came across Monica's grieving fiancé, and after hearing the details from him, decided to seek out Lia.[2]

Ezio soon found Lia at the Baths of Caracalla, standing over the body of her latest kill. However, once she caught sight of him, she fled immediately, yelling at him as he pursued her. In time though, the Assassin caught up to her, and ended her life with his Hidden Blade.[2]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Lia's weapons and attire resembled that of the Assassins, as well as Il Lupo.
