- For the multiplayer character, see Executioner
- "It was not my best work, but it is hard to make good art with poor materials."
- ―Il Carnefice, on the execution of a young woman.[src]
Il Carnefice (1473 - January 1500) was an executioner active in the city of Rome and a member of the Templar Order.
In 1500, he forced himself onto a woman, only to have her hanged. The woman's husband later mourned her death, though he was unable to remove her body down from the noose, at the threat of being executed himself. This was noticed by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who decided to aid the man by bringing justice to Il Carnefice. Ezio infiltrated Il Carnefice's cliff side palazzo, where he was was discussing his latest kill with an associate of his, and swiftly assassinated him.[1] With Il Carnefice dead, the executions of many innocent citizens were put to a stop.
Il Carnefice also appears in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy in the mission "Gallows Humor," wherein Cesare Borgia sent Fiora Cavazza to bring him a sealed envelope. At first, Il Carnefice acted serious upon opening the envelope, telling Fiora that her name was in its contents, but it turned out that he was only playing a prank on her, admitting that he couldn't read. Fiora later witnessed his brutal executions, ending up more disgusted than terrified of his antics.
Database Entry
Il Carnefice
Date of Birth: 1473.
Profession: Executioner.
There's nothing in the history books about Il Carnefice, so I did a little digging in Abstergo's mainframe. Here's what I found: "A natural ally for the Borgia, Il Carnefice kills to the roar of an approving crowd."
The other small piece of information I could dig up is that he fancies himself as some sort of twisted artist. I guess that explains the crowd bit. I wonder if he does tricks while performing executions, or whether it's all in the subtle way he pulls the lever?
Trivia
- Il Carnefice's axe in the Story mode does not seem to be the same one he uses in Multiplayer.

- Il Carnefice fights like a brute with pretty much the same attributes.
