The Priest (died 1497) was one of Girolamo Savonarola's nine Lieutenants, men put in charge to help Savonarola control Florence. He was killed by Ezio Auditore during the Bonfire of the Vanities. Like most of the lieutenants, he was being controlled by the Apple.
Biography
Rise to power
Soon after taking control of Florence, Savonarola assigned nine men as his lieutenants. Each of these lieutenants had the duty to make sure the citizens would refrain from riots or revolutions. The priest did this by preaching to the citizens, in an attempt to gain their trust and make them loyal to his master.
Death
The Priest stood on top of the Duomo near the tallest point in Florence, he preached to the people below in favor of Savonarola. His men were stationed all around the building, each of which was ready to sound the alarm when they saw Ezio scaling the building. However, Ezio was able to climb the building unnoticed, and avoided the many guards stationed along his path, on occurrence, Ezio would perform a stealthy assassination when necessary. When he reached the top, Ezio assassinated the Priest before any of his henchmen could prevent the assassination.
Speech
Omnipotens Deus, Rex regum, el omnium gubernator, cujus potentiae nulla creatura resistere potest, cui proprium est peccatores punire, et eorum misereri qui vere agunt poenitentiam, serva et lebera nos, suppliciter te petimus, a manu inimicorum, reprime eorum superbaim, minue malitiam, disspa illorum machinationes et atutias, ut nos tuis armis muniti semper servemur ab glorificandum te, qui es unicus victoriae largitor : propter merita unigenti. Filii tui Domini nostri Jesu Christi. Amen.
Final Words
Priest: I thought Savonarola preached the word of God.
Ezio Auditore: I fear his sermon is a lie.
Priest: I led my flock astray... It's just... I wanted so badly to believe...
Ezio Auditore: We all do. Vedrò compiuta l’opera di mio padre... (I will see my father’s work complete...) Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)
Trivia
- In his sermon, the Priest mentions "Rex Regum", which is also a name for the philosopher's stone. The philosopher's stone is a magical alchemy component which turns metals, mostly lead, into gold.
