Biography
Working for the Borgia
Around 1497, Il Carnefice worked under the direct employment of Cesare Borgia, and often received instructions from him through Fiora Cavazza.[1]
On one such instance, she brought him a list containing Cesare's next condemnations. Upon studying it, Il Carnefice acted serious, telling Fiora that her name was one of those listed, though he quickly revealed that he was only playing a prank on her, and admitted that he could not read.[1]
While under the Borgia, Il Carnefice performed any execution assigned to him with both enthusiasm and brutality, often chopping off the body parts of his victims and displaying them to his approving audience. Fiora once described him as a beast, one she found more disgusting than intimidating.[1]
Death
In 1500, Il Carnefice forced himself onto a woman named Livia, only to have her hanged afterwards. The woman's husband later mourned her death, but was unable to remove her body from the noose at the threat of being executed by Il Carnefice himself.[2]
The grieving husband caught the attention of the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who decided to aid the man by bringing justice to Il Carnefice. Ezio infiltrated Il Carnefice's cliffside palazzo, where he was discussing his latest kill with an associate of his, and swiftly assassinated him with his hidden blade. With Il Carnefice dead, the executions of many innocent citizens were brought to a halt.[2]
Database Entry
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" simply translates to "The Executioner."

- Il Carnefice is the first multiplayer character encountered in Brotherhood.
