Biography
Born in 1443 to a poor family, Antonio lived with his father, a cobbler, and his mother, a maid for an upper-class family. As he aged, he increasingly developed a want for a richer life, but no matter how hard he studied, the schools would not accept him, and no matter how hard he worked he could not change his circumstances. Realizing that hard labor would not get him what he wanted, Antonio decided to steal it instead.[2]
Eventually, Antonio found his way into the Order of Assassins, and subsequently set up the Thieves guild of Venice. Antonio and his fellow thieves consented only to theft of property from the largely immoral Venetian nobility, not ordinary citizens, making him something like an Italian Robin Hood. He considered his guild more of a "business" than a crime syndicate.[2]

Antonio knew of Ezio's deeds through Florence and Tuscany and told him it was good work, if a little unrefined.

Antonio told Ezio that there were 3 traitors delivering information the Emilio and that they would need to be disposed of, Ezio agreed to do the deed and he killed the 3 traitors. Antonio waited for Ezio to complete their other duties, they were once again ready to attempt at assassinating Emilio. E
