Stefano da Bagnone

This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

Stefano da Bagnone (1418 - 1479) is one of the Pazzi conspirators who attempted to murder Lorenzo de' Medici. He was a monk and a secretary to Jacopo de Pazzi, and one of the men whom Jacopo hired to kill Lorenzo. It was he who stabbed Lorenzo in the back at the Duomo. Known for his cruelty towards others, Stefano was trained in Rome as a Templar Butcher. After the death of Francesco de' Pazzi, he flees to Tuscany and hides in the Monte Oliveto Maggiore, a monastery near San Gimignano. Before being assassinated by Ezio, Bagnone was telling another monk that God did not exist.

He was evidently well-known among the clergy, as monks in Forlì recognize Ezio as his killer.

Before killing Stefano, Mario's mercenary will give you three smoke bombs, which will help you escape after assassinating your target. Afterwards, they are unlocked for purchase in blacksmiths' shops. These smoke bombs become a highly useful way to escape situations where you are severely outnumbered.

Final words

Bagnone: Now I will see who was right...

Ezio: Where is Jacopo?

Bagnone: Nothing to fear I suppose... They meet in the shadow of the Roman Gods...

Ezio: Ora sei libero dalla paura. (Be free of your fear now.) Requiescat in Pace. (Rest in peace.)

Trivia

• In real life, Stefano da Bagnone was a priest who tried to kill Lorenzo de' Medici. He found refuge with monks, but was arrested on May 3, 1478. His nose and ears were cut off, and he was hanged from the Palazzo della Signoria tower.
• He is initially shown to be atheist (by being part of an atheist organization, and by openly claiming that God did not exist), but is actually unsure of the truth (as shown in the final words section above).
• When Ezio is about to ask the monks in Forlì about Savonarola, they flee from Ezio because he killed Stefano, claiming that "the killer of monks has returned."
