Climbing The Ranks was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Girolamo Savonarola had the Captain Guard under his control. As Ezio Auditore approached to confront him, he stated that he had devised this trap for those brave enough to oppose his superior. Many opponents had already been killed by Savonarola's lieutenant.

By the time Ezio killed most of the Captain's men, he began to mock the Assassin for hiding his face with hooded robes.

Dialogue

The guard captain looking down on Ezio.

Ezio entered a courtyard.

  • Ezio: Something's wrong here. Where is everyone...?

The Captain Guard appeared on top of a scaffolding.

  • Captain Guard: Ah! Another challenger! Excellent! Savonarola warned me that some would oppose our rule, and so I devised this little trap - to ferret out those foolish enough to play at hero. It's proven to be both entertaining and effective. Incominciamo! (Let us begin!)

Agile guards descended from the rooftops and attack Ezio.

  • Captain Guard: What a spectacle! I wonder how long you'll survive. Another - a few days back - he made it through over three dozen of my men - before he was finally put down. It's interesting. Every day, without fail, another of you approaches. Nonconformists. Malcontents. Revolutionaries. Rebelli. (Rebels.) I've seen it - and heard - it all. Just excuses. Am I to believe you're a champion of the downtrodden, then? A hero come to free the city? A rebel leader intent on ushering in a new age? One who fights for justice? Liberty? Hmmm? Which lie do you tell yourself!? And do not be mistaken. These are lies. No matter what any of you say - you're all here for the same reason. The same selfish reason: You seek something. Glory. Distinction. Fame. Rewards either physical, spiritual - or both! You're making a very big mistake. You seek to challenge me? You've just signed your death warrant, boy! Approach at your peril, Assassino! I was born for battle boy. Come on then! Let's see what you're made of!

Ezio climbed the scaffolding and assassinated the Captain Guard.

  • Captain: Is this truly who I was? So proud and cruel...
  • Ezio: No. Savonarola bewitched you.
  • Captain: Did he? Or was it that I tasted power and found myself intoxicated? I wish I had been stronger.
  • Ezio: As do I. Mi rincresce, ma non c'è altro modo (I am truly sorry, but there is no other way). Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace).

Outcome

Ezio assassinated the Captain Guard. The Medici guards assumed control of the area.
