Pantasilea Baglioni was the wife of Assassin Bartolomeo d'Alviano. She was introduced to Ezio Auditore when he visited Bartolomeo to reestablish relationship between their guilds, and would later go on to helping Ezio manage his Assassination Contracts in Rome.
Pantasilea proved her adept abilities of helping her husband run his barracks during her first meeting with Ezio, wherein, despite her husband's confident assurances that his war against the French was going well, Pantasilea quietly informed Ezio of the true situation. She confided in him that their forces were spread thin due to the simultaneous attacks on two fronts, from the French, and from the Borgia. She then asked the Assassin's help to defeat a Borgia captain, and burn down the nearby Borgia tower. Additionally, she was usually the one in the main room of the barracks, while her husband spent most of his time in the Fight Club downstairs.[1]
At some point, Pantasilea was kidnapped by the Baron de Valois in order to force the surrender of Bartolomeo. However, Ezio and Bartolomeo, along with twenty Mercenaries, infiltrated the fortress of the Baron by masquerading as French troops. The Baron de Valois escaped to a courtyard, and held a pistol to her head, threatening to shoot her at the first sign of trouble. However, Ezio managed to assassinate the Baron before he pulled the trigger. When Ezio commented that the plan to rescue her was all Bartolomeo's idea (though in reality it was his), Pantasilea hugged Bartolomeo and said that he was her prince.[2]
