Micheletto.

Micheletto was one of Cesare Borgia's three generals and his personal assassin. Along with the other generals, he accompanied Cesare during the Siege of Monteriggioni. After the battle was won, Micheletto returned to Rome with Cesare and the other generals.

He would later be seen garroting Francesco Troche on Cesare's order, then conspiring to assassinate Lucrezia Borgia 's lover Pietro, an actor, by posing as another actor (playing the part of the Roman soldierr who speared Jesus) and killing Pietro (playing a crucified Jesus) in a feigned accident at a Passion play at the Colosseum, with several Borgia men posing as ancient Roman troops.

However, Ezio Auditore da Firenze overheard the conspiracy and therefore tailed Micheletto to the play, while having his Assassins recruits slay the would-be accomplices for their disguises. After Ezio and his Assassin recruits neutralized several gunmen stationed atop the Colosseum's upper levels. they assumed the accomplices' disguises and proceeded into the play, whereupon he broke off and took down Micheletto.

Though prevented from stabbing Pietro to death, Micheletto revealed that he had been "doubly sure" to kill Pietro, having also poisoned him with cantarella. Possibly due to the urgency of rescuing Pietro, Ezio spared Micheletto's life. Notably, he would be the only story assassination target spared by Ezio in Brotherhood. Micheletto is not seen again, but Cesare believed that Micheletto was leading Cesare's remaining army into Rome to back his attempts to return to power.

According to the description in his Portrait (in the Tiber Island Hideout), he fled Rome after Cesare's downfall, but was arrested by Pope Julius II's order, and his fate thereafter is unknown.
