- ―The Condottiero adressing a crowd, 1497[src]
The Condottiero (died 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.[1]
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. In his dying words, the Condottiero explained his actions, claiming that he wasn't content with wealth and power, but wanted more.[1]
