"There was once a man called Duccio, a rat with lecherous taste.
Whenever he would show himself, my fist would find his face."
―Ezio Auditore da Firenze sings of his run-ins with Duccio.[src]

Duccio de Luca (1462–1520) was a member of the Florentine nobility, who eventually became a trader, ferrying merchandise between Rome and other cities.

Biography

Early life

As of 1476, Duccio was engaged to Claudia Auditore da Firenze. However, he was having affairs with up to six other women at the same time, saying that his father had told him he "could do much better than an Auditore".[1]

After Claudia was informed of this by other girls, her brother Ezio Auditore met with Duccio outside the Duomo. There, he beat him up as payback, and warned Duccio to stay away from Claudia.[1]

Life as a trader

In 1506, Duccio visited Rome, where he learned that Claudia had become the Madame of the Rosa in Fiore, Rome's most popular brothel. He met with Ezio Auditore again, and provoked him into a fight despite Ezio initially refusing due to them not being teenagers anymore.[2]

Though aided by several henchmen, Duccio was unable to best Ezio. Grabbing Duccio by the collar, Ezio then demanded the location of the three Leonardo da Vinci paintings that Duccio had acquired, and the merchant admitted that one was on his ship, while the other two had already been sold. Upon insulting Claudia further however, he was ultimately knocked unconscious by Ezio, and left on the docks.[2]

Later life

In 1511, Duccio wound up in Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, where he encountered a Venetian woman named Sofia Sartor. He attempted to flirt with her, claiming that it was fate that had brought them together, though she was only disgusted by him.[3]

Duccio was soon interrupted by Ezio Auditore, who had become a friend of Sofia by then. Terrified upon recognizing him, Duccio fled, crying to Sofia to run from the "diavolo in persona."(devil in person)[3]

In his later life, Duccio's business failed, and he was left penniless. He barely survived, only just managing to scrape a living, and later died due to rabies, which he likely received from a dog bite.[2]

Trivia
