Biography
Working for the Borgia
Auguste was born in Switzerland, and later became a mercenary. Upon moving to Rome, he initially collaborated with the people, making signs for the merchants' shops. However, he was soon approached by the Borgia, and entered into their service.[1]
Auguste was both a skillful craftsman and artist, building weapons and drawing propaganda posters for the Templars. Despite his brutish appearance, he was an intelligent and cultured man, and was very dedicated to his work. Because of this, he rarely left his workshop, and often went through several revisions of his art before finalizing them.[1]
Other than providing him with standard weaponry, Auguste also took on Cesare's "bizarre requests," which were envisioned by several of the Borgia's engineers and inventors. These supplies were often relayed to Cesare through his ambassador of sorts, Fiora Cavazza, much to the displeasure Auguste's wife.[1]
Auguste's relations with his wife likely stagnated due to his work with the Borgia. Once, upon inviting Fiora to visit him again, he and his wife engaged in a heated argument. Fiora left them, observing the two "growl at each other like wild dogs."[1]
Death
In 1503, one such argument escalated beyond shouted words, and Auguste brutally beat his wife, before departing for his workshop. The woman was left crying on a bench outside their home in the Campagna district.[2]
There, she was discovered by the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who offered help to her. She told him what Auguste had done, and suggested tearing down his propaganda posters to lure him out since, as she insisted, his pride would not allow it.[2]
Ezio did so, and was soon confronted by the enraged blacksmith. The Assassin swiftly dispatched Auguste's guards and ended his life with the Hidden Blade.[2]
