The Captain Guard was a captain of the Florentine guards. In 1497, Girolamo Savonarola managed to gain the captain guard's services by promising him power. He was killed by Ezio Auditore da Firenze the same year, to weaken Savonarola's power in Florence.
Speech
"Ah! Another challenger! Excellent! Savonarola warned me that some would oppose our rule, and so I devised this little trap - to ferret out those foolish enough to play at hero. It's proven to be both entertaining and effective. Incominciamo! (Let us begin!)"
Challenge
After the man's speech, agile guards jumped down into the arena-like courtyard where Ezio was standing, and archers began to shoot at the Assassin from the surrounding rooftops. While Ezio fought off the guards, the Captain spoke of how well his plan was working, and that he had trapped and killed many Medici supporters; even mentioning one who had taken down 36 of his guards before being killed in action. However, Ezio finally dispatched the soldiers and climbed up the side of the building, killing the archers there and, before long, also putting the Captain to rest.
Last Words
Captain: Is this truly who I was? So proud and cruel...
Ezio: No. Savonarola bewitched you.
Captain: Did he? Or was it that I tasted power and found myself intoxicated? I wish I had been stronger.
Ezio: As do I. Mi rincresce, ma non c'è altro modo (I am truly sorry, but there is no other way). Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace).
