Godfather is a memory in the Battle of Forlì DLC pack for Assassin's Creed II.

Description

The Orsi brothers, Ludovico and Checco, arrive at the citadel of Rocca di Ravaldino. They threaten to murder Caterina Sforza's children, Bianca Riario and Ottaviano Riario, unless 'a certain map' and 'a certain apple' are traded for their lives. Stating their terms, the brothers leave for the Romagna countryside. Ezio gives Caterina the Apple for safekeeping and leaves in search of her children, each of them being held in different parts of Romagna. Upon rescuing Bianca, Ezio is told that that her brother is been held at the light house. Ezio reaches the guarded lighthouse, assassinates Ludovico and rescues Ottaviano.

Dialogue

Pre-mission

The Orsi brothers taunting Caterina.

The Orsi brothers call out to Caterina

• Checco: Caterina! Caterina Sforza! I know you're in there. I have something you may want back. Are you missing any children?

Caterina and Ezio rush to the edge of the wall.

• Checco: And Ezio Auditore...! What a pleasant surprise.
• Ezio: I take it you would be the Orsi brothers.
• Ludovico: Ludovico--
• Checco: --And Checco. At your service.
• Caterina: Basta! (Enough!) Where are my children? Let them go!
• Ludovico: Of course Signora. We'll happily give them back - for something of yours. A certain map?
• Checco: And a certain Apple, brother.
• Ludovico: Si, a certain Apple indeed. Or shall I slice your babies' necks ear to ear?

Ezio hands over the apple.

• Caterina: Bastardi! (Bastards!) You think you can threaten me? I'll give you NOTHING! You want my children? Take them! I have the instrument to make more!
• Checco: When you change your mind, they'll be in the village outside the city, - You have one hour.

The Orsi brothers leave and Caterina turns to Ezio.

• Ezio: Caterina, no... I can't ask you to sacrifice your children.
• Caterina: Nobody's sacrificing anything. Go get them back for me Ezio.
• Ezio: Si, you have my word. The Apple needs to remain in the citadel. Keep this safe

Ezio hands Caterina the Apple, and sets off to rescue her children.

Rescuing the children

Ezio locates Bianca.

• Bianca: Is this all the men you have to hold me? Stoti. (Fools.) It wont be enough. My mamma is fierce. We Sforza women are no wilting flowers. We may look pretty to the eye, but the eyes deceive. Just ask babbo. (father.) I hope you don't imagine I'm scared of you. You'd be sorely mistaken. My mamma would never let you hurt me.

Ezio frees Bianca.

Ezio rescues Bianca.

• Bianca: Grazie! Grazie Messere! But my brother--! They are holding Ottaviano at the lighthouse.

Ezio locates Ludvico holding Ottaviano hostage on top of the lighthouse.

• Ludvico: You want to see your boy walk again, Caterina? Give us what we want or I'll throw him off the edge!
• Ottaviano: Mamma! Help me! I don't want to be here anymore.
• Ludvico: Zito mamocchio. (Shut up kid.) Let's go Caterina! Show yourself! The Apple and the map or your kid's a cripple.
• Ottaviano: I have to pee. Please Messere. I need to go to the bathroom. Just let me go pee.
• Ludvico: Oh, per Dio, chiudi il bocca. (For God sake kid, shut the hell up.)

Ezio assassinates Ludvico.

Ezio kills Ludovico.

• Ludovico Orsi: Caterina was a fool to send you.
• Ezio Auditore: Or are you the fool, dying for a handful of change? Was it worth it?
• Ludovico Orsi: More than you know... the Maestro gains his prize, because of me.
• Ezio Auditore: Muori col tuo orgoglio, per quanto vale... (Die with your pride, for all it's worth...) Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)

Ezio frees Ottaviano.

• Ottaviano: Grazie Signore!

Outcome

Ezio assassinates Ludovico Orsi and Caterina's children are safely returned to her. Ludovico tells Ezio that "The Maesto gains his prize".
