Last of the Palaiologi is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

Description

Alarmed by the explosion of the Byzantine weapons depot, Manuel Palaiologos comes to find out what is going on. He attempts to calm the citizens, but panics once he sees Ezio. A chase ensues as Ezio tries to assassinate Manuel.

Dialogue

Manuel comes to investigate.

Manual trying calm the citizens.

• Manuel: Ti sto diáolo simvéni? (What the hell is going on?)
• Guard: Sabotage, Manuel. You need to take cover.
• Manuel: Get out of my way.
  Citizens! Soldiers! Compose yourselves. Do not give in to fear! We are the true shepherds of Constantinopolis. We are the lords of this land. We are Byzantines. Kouráyo! (Have courage!) Stand fast! Do not let anyone break your -

Manuel sees Ezio.

• Manuel: Ah, Skatá. (Shit.) Stop that man! Cut him down!

Ezio chases Manuel, who tries to escape by having the guards close a gate behind him.

• Manuel: Stop and think for a moment! Think about the lives you have disrupted today, the anarchy you have sown here!

Ezio kills the guards and continues his pursuit. Manuel and Ezio face each other in the harbor.

• Manuel: You! You take advantage of a poor and displaced people, using us to further your own vain quest! But we fight for dignity, Assassin. We fight to restore peace to this troubled land.
• Ezio: Templars are always quick to talk of peace, but very slow to concede power.
• Manuel: Because power begets peace, vláka (idiot)! It cannot happen in reverse. These people would drown without a firm hand to lift them up, and keep them in line!
• Ezio: There he is. The monster I came to kill.

Ezio kills Manuel.

Manuel explaining his plan to conquer Constantinople.

• Manuel: I should have been Constantine's successor. I had so many plans.
• Ezio: Your dream dies with you, Manuel. Your empire is gone.
• Manuel: Ah, but I am not the only one with this vision, Assassin. The dream of our Order is universal. Ottoman, Byzantine... these are only labels. Costumes and facades. Beneath these trappings, all Templars are part of the same family.
• Ezio: Enough prattling. I am here for the Masyaf Key.
• Manuel: Then take it. Take it and seek your fortune. See if you get within one hundred leagues of that library before one of us finishes you off.

Outcome

Ezio kills Manuel Palaiologos and retrieves the final Masyaf Key.

Trivia

• To gain full synchronization, Ezio must not take any damage.
• Manuel is an extremely easy fight, as he can be killed with a single counter.
• Once you pull out Yusuf's Turkish Kijil, he will begin to beg for his life.
