Maffei Lineage 4.png|Federico threatened by Antonio and his men.
Federico lived a comfortable life with his family in the Palazzo Auditore of Florence, and was originally schooled to become a banker in a Medici bank. However, he was a notorious slacker, and once hid a sack of the bank's money on the roof of the building as a joke. Being an Auditore, he was merely removed from the payroll and saved from harsher consequences.[1][2]
As the eldest child of the Auditore, Federico took defending his family quite seriously. When Antonio Maffei arrived up at their palazzo in an attempt to capture Giovanni for the first time, Giovanni, having not yet recovered from his recent skirmish, elected to escape. He instructed Federico to buy him time, telling him to defend the family at all costs.[1]
Federico succeeded in delaying the guards long enough for Giovanni to leave, telling them that his father was not home. After the men barged into the house and discovered it empty of all but Federico and his mother, Federico kicked them out, and told them to never doubt an Auditore again.[1]
Betrayal and death
"I've come to see if baby brother has finally learned how to fight."
―Federico arriving at the brawl on the Ponte Vecchio.[src]
In 1476, as Ezio was fighting against Vieri de' Pazzi, a member of a rival noble family, Federico showed up to help his brother. He proved to be an excellent fighter, and after they won the brawl, Federico instructed Ezio to loot money from the defeated enemies to treat his injuries.[2]
After Ezio did so, Federico then directed him to a doctor to have his injuries treated. Once Ezio had been serviced by the doctor, Federico challenged his brother to a race, and the two climbed to the top of a nearby church to take in the sights of Florence.[2]
