Micheletto Corella (1470 - ?) was a condottiero, at one point the governor of Piombino and a member of the Templar Order.[1]
Biography
Early life
Micheletto Corella was born in Valencia, Spain, but grew up in Rome, Italy. He became a childhood friend of Cesare Borgia and became his protector.[1]
Serving the Borgia
Micheletto would go on to serve the Borgia for the rest of his life, particularly Cesare. He became Cesare's personal executioner, killing any who stood in Cesare's way. He also became a condottiero and the governor of Piombino for a short time.[1]
Siege of Monteriggioni
In January 1500, Micheletto accompanied Cesare to lay siege to Monteriggioni in order to take down the Auditore and acquire the Apple of Eden. They went home victorious with the Apple and Mario Auditore's life taken.[1]
Murders
Many of these murders went unrecorded, though a few managed to be kept known throughout the years.
On 18 August 1500, Alfonso of Aragon, the husband of Cesare's sister Lucrezia Borgia was killed by Micheletto on Cesare's order, as the latter was jealous of Alfonso.[1]
In 1502, Micheletto killed Giulio Cesare da Varano and three of his sons in order for Cesare to be able to take over Camerino.[1]
Micheletto killed Astorre III Manfredi, the Lord of Faenza, on 9 June 1502 inside the Castel Sant'Angelo.[1]
On 31 December 1502, Micheletto simultaneously strangled Oliverotto da Fermo and Vitellozzo Vitelli for conspiring against Cesare.[1]
Teaching Giovanni
At times between 1500 and 1503, Micheletto was left to guard and teach Giovanni Borgia, Cesare's adoptive son and Lucrezia's biological child. He attempted to teach Giovanni to be tough and merciless, strangling an old man who was talking with Giovanni and beating him. Thus, Giovanni grew to hate Micheletto and this became one of the reasons for him to walk away from home.[2]
Final tasks
In 1503, Micheletto accompanied Cesare to a meeting with Francesco Troche, who had told his brother Egidio of Cesare's plans for Romagna. Egidio had sent letters to the ambassador of Venice to warn him, though these letters were intercepted. Francesco attempted to have Cesare spare his life, but he was ultimately strangled to death by Micheletto and his body was thrown in the Tiber River. Micheletto then continued on to meet with some Borgia guards, giving them costumes with which they could infiltrate the Colosseum Passion Play to kill Pietro Rossi, Lurezia's latest lover. Unbeknownst to him, he was being followed by the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who had sent his apprentices to take down all the guards carrying the costumes and take them.[1]
Ezio continued to follow Micheletto to the Colosseum. Ezio took down all the Borgia arquebusiers and put on his costume. Micheletto and Ezio both joined in the play and as soon as Ezio came close to Micheletto, the latter was stabbed by Ezio. However, Ezio did not finish him off, saying that Micheletto would bring himself down by aiding Cesare.[1]
Cesare later killed his father, Pope Alexander VI, after the latter attempted to poison Cesare. As a result, the Borgias' influence over Rome was gone and Cesare became powerless. He had sent Micheletto to gather an army to take back Rome, though he never arrived and instead, Cesare was captured by the Papal Guard. Micheletto fled Rome, though he was captured on the order of Pope Julius II. Micheletto's fate remains unknown.
Final words
(As Ezio makes to stab Micheletto, he laughs.)
Micheletto: You cannot save Pietro. The wine he drank was poisoned. As I promised Cesare, I made doubly sure. (Ezio gets up and leaves him.) I am not yet dead.
Ezio: I did not come here to kill you. He who is the cause of someone else becoming powerful is the agent of his own destruction.
Trivia
- During a mission, where you have to rescue Volpe's theives, who were spying on Cesare, after their cover was blown, one of the thieves refered to Micheletto as Cesare's "butcher".
- In the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood mobile game, Micheletto is called Michelotto.
- When assassinating Micheletto, he will be wearing a black shirt, when he is saying his Final words he is wearing ordinary clothes.
