Girolamo Savonarola (born 1452) is a character in Assassin's Creed II, appearing in the second part of its DLC, the Bonfire of the Vanities.
Description
Girolamo Savonarola was an Italian Dominican priest living in the city of Florence. He had strongly resisted the Rennaissance, prefering the Medieval Times. At some point, he joined the order of the Templars, ruled by Rodrigo Borgia, his greatest adversary. If their rivalry was just a decoy, is unknown.
After the death of Lorenzo de' Medici, Savonarola took over the city using an Apple of Eden. After having united the city under the Templar banner, he started to destroy all Rennaissance art pieces, wanting to go back to the Medieval times. The Assassins began resisting Savonarola's rule, with the Assassins Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Niccolò Machiavelli being the ones to fight against the priest and thwart his plans. Eventually, Savonarola died by the Assassins' hands and Florence was freed from the Templars.
Trivia
- It has been revealed that he was a Templar[1], though this is weird since his greatest opponent in the real historical context was supposed to be Pope Alexander VI, a.k.a. Rodrigo Borgia, leader of the Templar order in the game canon (he is even the one who excommunicated Savonarola, and ordered his execution).
