- "Cesare wants me to meet his murderous doctor, Malfatto, though I do not believe he really is a doctor. He is a predator of women. A monster."
- ―Fiora Cavazza.[src]

Biography
Serial killings
- "I spot her! She looks like a broken doll at first, discarded in the alley. Then I see the blood. So much blood!"
- ―Fiora discovering one of Malfatto's victims.[src]
Malfatto was an infamous serial killer of courtesans in Rome. He was feared enough to catch the eye of Cesare Borgia, who wished to recruit Malfatto into his personal army.[1]
Sometime between 1502 and 1503, Cesare sent his envoy, Fiora Cavazza, to deliver a Letter of Absolution to Malfatto, in hopes of gaining his allegiance. Having worked as a courtesan before being employed by Cesare, Fiora was particularly fearful of finding Malfatto, but nonetheless obeyed.[1]
On her first attempt to search for him, she wandered through the poor district. Instead of finding Malfatto, Fiora heard the sounds of a woman sobbing and pleading for her life. She ran to find the victim, but arrived too late and could only flee in fear from the terrible, bloody sight of Malfatto's latest kill.[1]
Subsequent to this, Fiora began refusing Cesare's orders to find the doctor, though she was forced to obey when he threatened to have her killed. Dressed in one of her old courtesan outfits to lure Malfatto out, Fiora only narrowly escaped being attacked when she finally discovered him.[1]
The doctor paused only when Fiora yelled Cesare's name at him and held out the letter she had been tasked to deliver. Malfatto took it wordlessly but did not read it. He simply watched the courtesan eerily as she backed away from him and left.[1]
Chasing Fiora
- "I cannot see his face, but Malfatto's posture betrays fear! Have his victims ever fought back?"
- ―Fiora drawing her weapon against Malfatto.[src]
Fiora safely returned home, unaware of the fact that Malfatto had followed her. While the former courtesan slept, Malfatto injected her with his syringe, but the prick of the needle caused her to wake up.[1]
Panicking, Fiora grabbed her own weapon to defend herself, much to Malfatto's shock. Despite being disoriented from the poison Malfatto had injected, she managed to wound the doctor severely, before falling unconscious. As he was bleeding badly from his injury, Malfatto swiftly left through the window, without finishing his kill.[1]
Death
- Ezio: "Who did this?"
- Courtesan: "That monster, Malfatto!"
- —Ezio coming across Malfatto's latest kill.[src]
Sometime after his encounter with Fiora, Malfatto, now under Cesare's employment, hunted in the area near the Tiber river. He soon claimed his next victim, a courtesan named Mina. Mina's friend found her, and as she cried over her corpse, the Assassin Ezio Auditore happened upon the bloody scene.[2]
Ezio offered to help, after which the courtesan directed him to Malfatto. The Assassin searched through the district, following the directions of several other courtesans that he passed, who also pointed him in the right direction.[2]
Finally, the Assassin found Malfatto by a medical stall, but the murderer fled, with Ezio in close pursuit. After a brief chase, Ezio sent his apprentices in for the assassination. As Malfatto lay dead, Ezio held a hand over his mask and offered him his last rites.[2]
Trivia
- "Malfatto" is an Italian surname that may derive from the Italian word "malfattore" or "someone who does evil deeds." As an adjective, it can also translate to "shoddy" or "deformed."
- During Malfatto's assassination, Ezio says his traditional final blessing, but instead of closing Malfatto's eyes, he places his hand above the doctor's mask, before pulling it away. This is one of the few times Ezio has ever altered his usual procedure.
- There is a minor glitch that the player may activate while executing the "Serial Offender" mission. This is achieved by following the path the courtesans have established until Ezio reaches the third one. If he turns right and follows the street, he will come out in front of Malfatto, who will not run or react to Ezio, unless he locks onto him.
