I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Merchant (unknown - 1497) was one of Girolamo Savonarola's nine lieutenants, men that were put in charge to help Savonarola in controlling Florence. He worked with Savonarola, getting the people to follow his ideals until he was killed by Ezio. As with so many others, Savonarola used the Apple to control the merchant.
Biography
When Savonarola took control of Florence, he assigned nine lieutenants. Each of these lieutenants had his own task, though most of the task were aimed at getting the citizens to follow Savonarola. The merchant withheld food supplies in an attempt to force citizens to follow Savonarola. If they wouldn't oblige, they would soon run out of food.
The merchant was stationed on a ship, and had many guards on the ship patrolling constantly, including two armored guards. Ezio had to make sure he wouldn't draw any attention before he attacked, or the merchant would have a good chance to escape. Ezio quietly killed nearby patrols by dragging them into the water or poisoning them. He then took his chance to leap down on the unsuspecting merchant, thus taking his life.
Speech
"We'll see just how tough the holdouts are when they're forced to go without food. If they want to eat, they'll accept Savonarola as their leader. How the Medici family can still hold any sway in this city is beyond me... To think, I once considered them my patrons. But that was before the prophet opened my eyes. Then I saw the evils of commerce and the division it creates. Savonarola will lead us into a new era. One of fraternity, equality, and justice. All that remains is for us to cast off the shackles of our troubled past - and accept the Lord as our saviour and true leader."
Final Words
- Merchant: What... What have I done...
- Ezio Auditore: You tried to force devotion.
- Merchant: Sometimes the people must be told what to think.
- Ezio Auditore: No good has ever come of that. Benché il mio cuore sia turbato, la mia mente è lucida (Though my heart may be tormented, my head is clear)... Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace).
