Paganino (unknown - 1503) was a member of both the Venetian Thieves Guild and the Roman Thieves Guild. He was also a covert Borgia spy.
Biography
Life in Venice
During the late 15th century, Paganino was a member of the Venetian Thieves Guild led by Antonio de Magianis. He was a colleague and personal friend of Ugo and Rosa.[1]
In 1481, Paganino and Ugo were confronted by Ezio Auditore, who was carrying a wounded Rosa. After the group exchanged words about their Guild, Paganino helped Ezio and Rosa get safely to their headquarters, where Antonio resided.[1]
Siege of Monteriggioni
Years later, Paganino became a spy for the Borgia, and gathered information on the Assassin Order. By January 1500, he had based himself in the Assassin headquarters in Monteriggioni.[2]
In early January 1500, the Borgia attacked Monteriggioni, and Paganino remained, unnoticed, in Mario Auditore's study in the Villa Auditore. Paganino ran into Ezio in the study, and Paganino asked him where the secret passage that Ezio was taking led to. After receiving the information, Paganino left Ezio, claiming that he had to "go help the troops."[3]
Death
After the skirmish at the Colosseum Passion Play in August of 1503, Ezio saw Paganino behaving suspiciously in the area, and recognized him from the Villa attack. As Ezio called out to him, however, Paganino fled in panic.[3]
Ezio pursued and tackled him, and found that he was carrying Borgia documents. As the Assassin realized that Paganino was the traitor they had been searching for, and not Niccolò Machiavelli as La Volpe had suspected, Paganino defiantly declared "Long live the Borgia!" before impaling himself in the neck with Ezio's hidden blade.[3]
Trivia
- In the official artwork for the Siege of Monteriggioni, Paganino appears alongside Cesare Borgia at Monteriggioni's gate. However, in both the game and novelization of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, he is not present.
- In the Brotherhood novel, Paganino instead commits suicide with his own dagger.
- Paganino's suicide is similar to that of a courier from Assassin's Creed: Lineage. There, Giovanni Auditore catches a messenger sent by Marco Barbarigo, and threatens him with his hidden blade. However, the messenger only says "My life is not yours to take, and my secrets come with me. See you in hell.," before forcing Giovanni's blade into his throat.
