The Condottiero (unknown - 1497) was once a wealthy nobleman from the city of Florence. However, the monk Girolamo Savonarola charmed the Condottiero into serving him by promising him more than his wealth and power. He was assassinated by Ezio Auditore da Firenze to reduce Savonarola's power in Florence.
Biography
Rise to power
Soon after taking control of Florence, Savonarola assigned nine men as his lieutenants. The lieutenants were meant to make sure the citizens of Florence would follow Savonarola and refrain from causing trouble. The Condottiero could often be found giving speeches to the citizens, telling them they had no choice but to follow his master.
Death
Ezio found the Condottiero standing on the Ponte Vecchio overlooking the Arno, protected by two guards: an Elite and a Seeker. He was seen reading from a book, and spoke of Savonarola's cause to the people on the bridge below. Ezio scaled the wall unseen and eliminated the Condottiero's protectors, he then climbed upon the patio and silenced the Condottiero forever.
Speech
"I hear you moaning and complaining. You say you have things to do. Places to go. Obligations to fulfill. Hah! You have but ONE obligation - TO SUBMIT! Why fight us? Why resist us? The city is ours. Your precious Medici have abandoned you! Fled into the wastes to wallow in self pity! Savonarola wants only the best for you. A city free of vice and temptation. A people united by faith. All men are equal in the eyes of the Lord - and so they shall be in Firenze! This is a chance for us to turn over a new leaf! To leave behind our miserable past - and return to simpler times. I am here to help. To lead you into a new future. Only accept our gift. Continue to refuse, and I fear you'll have to contend with more than just a shattered bridge."
Final Words
- Ezio: You wear a noble's clothes. How is it Savonarola charmed you?
- Condottiero: Wealth and power do not ensure contentment. I wanted even more...
- Ezio: And now, instead, you have nothing. Questo non è che un atto dovuto (This is something that must be done)... Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace).
