- "It was not my best work, but it is hard to make art with poor materials."
- ―Il Carnefice, on the execution of a young woman.[src]
Il Carnefice (1473–1500) was a member of the Templar Order, and an executioner active in Rome during the late 15th and early 16th century.
His genetic memories were later used by Abstergo Industries for the training of the Animus recruits, under the title of the Executioner.
Biography
Working for the Borgia
- "Everyone assumes that executioners love their work. [...] They wear masks to avoid this stigma when the mask comes off. Not Il Carnifice. He loves the work as well as the mask."
- ―Fiora Cavazza.[src]
Around 1497, Il Carnefice worked under the direct employment of Cesare Borgia, often receiving instructions from him through Fiora Cavazza.[1]
On one such instance, she brought him a list containing Cesare's next condemnations. Upon studying it, Il Carnefice acted serious, telling Fiora that her name was one of those listed, though he quickly revealed that he was only playing a prank on her, and admitted that he could not read.[1]
While under the Borgia, Il Carnefice performed any execution assigned to him with both enthusiasm and brutality, often chopping off the body parts of his victims and displaying them to his approving audience. Fiora once described him as a beast, one she found more disgusting than intimidating.[1]
Death
- "Word has gone out that a peasant is resisting arrest. We will show him how things operate under the Borgia."
- ―One of Il Carnefice's guards.[src]
In 1500, Il Carnefice forced himself onto a woman named Livia, only to have her hanged afterwards. The woman's husband later mourned her death, but was unable to remove her body from the noose at the threat of being executed by Il Carnefice himself. Despite the threat, the man remained by her corpse mourning her, resulting in Il Carnefice sending several of his guards to arrest the grieving husband.[2]
This caught the attention of the newly arrived Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who decided to aid the man by rescuing him from the guards. Upon hearing the man's sad tale, he gently instructed him to take his wife's body down when he was ready, and assured him that he would take care of Il Carnefice once and for all. True to his word, Ezio infiltrated Il Carnefice's cliffside house in the northwest Centro District, where he was discussing his latest kill with an associate of his. Ezio then swiftly assassinated him from above with his Hidden Blade, bringing the executions of many innocent citizens to a halt.[2]
Trivia
- "Il Carnefice" simply translates to "The Executioner."
- Il Carnefice fights like a Brute when encountered.
- Il Carnefice's axe in the Story mode is not the same one he uses in Multiplayer. Instead, it is the Bearded Axe, a common weapon that is wielded by Brutes, and can be bought from Blacksmiths.
- Il Carnefice is the first multiplayer character encountered in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and is one of the three Templar agents to be killed in the main storyline (the others are Malfatto and Silvestro Sabbatini).
