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.
"Al Diavolo! (The Devil!) I hate this damn city. I wish I was in Rome. I hear the women there are like ripe Sangiovese on the vine, you know?"

Biography

On 30 November 1524, the young man crossed paths with Ezio, who was on a Florentine shopping trip with his wife Sofia Sartor and their children, Flavia and Marcello Auditore. Following a coughing fit, Ezio sat on a bench in the Piazza della Signoria while his family perused the square's open markets when the Florentine man walked in front of him and sat beside him. He rudely complained about the city, believing Rome's night life and women being of superior quality, sentiments for which Ezio berated him. Seeing Ezio suddenly in physical distress from a heart attack, the young man wished him courage and smiled before leaving.[1] In 2013, an Abstergo Entertainment employee who worked on the Sample 17 Project believed that the young man was a Templar who killed Ezio based on seeing edited footage of Ezio's last moments.[2]
