Biography
Early life
Silvio's father was killed by his uncle during his childhood, so Silvio moved in with his uncle and became an advisor to his wealthy uncle, and uncovered a plot by the Soranzo family against his uncle. To prevent this, Silvio invited the family to an Easter celebration and toasted the family on the balcony. Unknown to everyone else, this was a signal for archers hidden behind the courtyard windows to fire on the family and kill them. Ten years later, he had his uncle murdered by his mother and sister and convinced everyone he had died in bed. He then took over his uncle's luxurious palazzo.
Doge Plots
In 1485 Silvio met up with fellow Templars Carlo Grimaldi, Marco Barbarigo, Dante Moro, and Rodrigo Borgia in Venice to plot the assassination of the Doge, Giovanni Mocenigo. As they planned, Silvio was given the task of acquiring a suitable poison, to which he replied that he could procure some cantarella. Later, Silvio was present at Carnevale where he prevented Ezio Auditore da Firenze from receiving a Golden Mask and gaining access to Marco Barbarigo's private Carnevale party. After Marco's assassination, Silvio hired Dante Moro and several other mercenaries and gained control of L'Arsenale.
Death
Shortly after gaining control of the Arsenale, Ezio Auditore, along with the help of Bartolomeo d'Alviano and his mercenaries invaded Silvio's base. Silvio, along with Dante, attempted to flee the Arsenale and board a ship leaving for Cyprus. However, Ezio managed to kill Silvio and Dante before they could reach the ship.
Final Words
Ezio: What's happened here? Why the boats? I thought you sought the Doge's seat.
Silvio: Just a distraction. We were meant to sail...
Ezio: Sail where?
Silvio: I'll never tell.
(Silvio dies)
Dante: Cyprus is their destination. They want....they....want...
(Dante dies)
Ezio: Non temete l'oscurità - accettate il suo abbraccio. Requiescat in Pace. (Fear not the darkness - but welcome it's embrace. Rest in Peace.)
