Emilio Barbarigo (1421 - September 11, 1485) was a corrupt Venetian merchant and tyrant of Venice, and secretly a member of the Knights Templar. Nevertheless, he was an extremely wealthy, noble merchant, whose sole desire was to take over Venice. He lobbied the government and edged out the competition to gain power in the Venetian market.
Assassin's Creed II
In Venice, Emilio had taken control of the city's merchant district and was ruling it with an iron fist. Emilio provided weapons to the other Templars in Florence and he apparently single-handedly funded the city guard. He lived in a large palazzo, the Palazzo della Seta, surrounded by many guards. He commissioned the city's guard members to the markets, his palazzo, and other places he retained control.
Emilio attended a meeting in 1480 at an outdoor Roman theatre in Tuscany, with various other Templars, including Jacopo de' Pazzi and the Templar Grand Master, Rodrigo Borgia. During this meeting, he (as well as Borgia) stabbed Jacopo for his failures in their cause, almost killing him. In 1485 in his palazzo, Emilio met with Carlo Grimaldi, a member of the Council of Ten, who informed him that the Assassin, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, had arrived in Venice. Emilio was assassinated by Ezio shortly after Carlo left.
He is related to Marco Barbarigo, Silvio Barbarigo and Agostino Barbarigo. It is unknown how they are related but he is probably a cousin or a brother, considering they are around the same age group. He was killed on September 11th, because of the fact that the day Doge Mocenigo died was September 14, and Carlo mentioned in their conversion, that they were going to have a meeting in three days, which was also the day that Mocenigo died.
Final Words
Ezio: Do not be afraid.
Emilio: I feel no fear, Assassin. Only regret. I sought unity. Stability. Order.
Ezio: At too great a cost.
Emilio: Progress demands sacrifice.
Ezio: Non trovo alcuna gioia in questo, ma non c'è altro modo. (I take no joy in this, but I see no other way.) Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)
