'''Emilio Barbarigo''' (1421 - September 11, 1485) was a corrupt noble, a [[Venice|Venetian]] merchant and tyrant of Venice, and secretly a member of the [[Knights Templar]]. Nevertheless, he was an extremely wealthy merchant, whose sole desire was to take control of Venice. He lobbied the government and used his power over the market to discourage any possible competition in Venetian merchants. He was related to [[Marco Barbarigo]], [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and [[Agostino Barbarigo]]. It is unknown how they were related exactly.
 
==Biography==
===Merchant of Venice===
{{quote|He is attempting to unify the merchants beneath a single banner. There's been resistance, some of it violent.|[[Alvise da Vilandino]] speaking about Emilio's attempts to unify the merchants.|Assassin's Creed II}}
 
In Venice, Emilio had taken control of the city's merchant district and was ruling it with an iron fist. Emilio provided weapons to the other Templars in Florence and he apparently single-handedly funded the city guard. He lived in a large ''palazzo'' or palace, the [[Palazzo della Seta]], surrounded by his well-paid guards. He commissioned the city guard to the markets, his ''palazzo'', and other places of which he retained control.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed 2]]''</ref>
 
Emilio attended a meeting in 1480 within an outdoor Roman theater in [[Tuscany]]. The gathering included various other Templars and conspirators, including [[Jacopo de' Pazzi]] and the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Templar Grand Master]], [[Rodrigo Borgia]]. During this meeting, he stabbed Jacopo for his failures in their cause. Rodrigo followed his example, almost killing him.<ref name="AC2" />
 
===Death===

In 1485 in his palazzo, Emilio met with [[Carlo Grimaldi]], a member of the Council of Ten, who informed him that the [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], had arrived in Venice. Though apparently endowed with great control over the markets and the city guards, he was not aware of this and appeared rather panicked once told. Carlo informed Emilio that Rodrigo Borgia planned a meeting in three days. Emilio was assassinated by Ezio shortly after Carlo left.<ref name="AC2" />
 
==Final words==
[[File:EMG_6.png|thumb|210px|right|Emilio's final moments.]]
'''Ezio:''' "''Do not be afraid."''
 
'''Emilio:''' "''I feel no fear, Assassin. Only regret. I sought unity. Stability. Order."''
 
'''Ezio:''' "''At too great a cost."''
 
'''Emilio:''' "''Progress demands sacrifice."''
 
'''Ezio:''' "''Non trovo alcuna gioia in questo, ma non c'è altro modo.'' (I take no joy in this, but I see no other way.) ''Requiescat in pace.'' (Rest in peace.)"

==Trivia==
*Emilio Barbarigo's Portrait in the Auditore Villa says that he died in 1484, when in fact he died in 1485.
*There is a portrait of Emilio in Ezio's [[Florence|Florentine]] villa in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers]]''.
