I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |

Rise to power[edit | edit source]
When Savonarola took control of Florence, he assigned nine lieutenants. Each of these lieutenants had his own task, though most of the tasks were aimed at getting the citizens to follow Savonarola. The merchant withheld food supplies in an attempt to force citizens to follow Savonarola. If they wouldn't oblige, they would soon run out of food.[1]

The merchant was stationed on a ship, and had many guards on the ship patrolling constantly, including two Brutes. At some point in 1497, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze set out to assassinate the merchant, in order to weaken Savonarola's rule. Making sure not to attract any attention, the Assassin made his way onto the stern deck. From there, he leapt down on the unsuspecting merchant and struck him with his Hidden Blade. In his dying moments, the merchant was shocked by his actions, but also claimed that the people needed to be coerced sometimes.[1]
