Biography
Mentor
- "My Brothers have placed a child into my care. His family has long served us, but he is still a pup. I am to teach him the ways of our Order as I was taught at his age."
- ―Perotto, regarding Francesco.[src]
After being inducted into the Order and becoming a fully-trained Assassin, Perotto was assigned to train the young Francesco Vecellio. Though he found the boy to be rather frail and too much of a perfectionist, he taught him well all the same, and praised him as wise beyond his years.[1][2]
Working for the Borgia
- "They believe me to be a mere courier, but my true loyalty lies with their sworn enemy."
- ―Perotto on his work for the Borgia.[src]
As of 1498, Perotto was working undercover for the Order as a courier for the Borgia. Over the course of his service, he began to pity (and eventually fall in love with) Lucrezia Borgia, daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, the Grand Master of the Templar Order.[2]
As Lucrezia slowly began to fall for Perotto as well, their relationship became more intimate and in a night of passion, Lucrezia ended up pregnant. A boy was later born, but the baby was malformed and, according to a doctor, was likely to die in a few days.[2]
Escape and Betrayal
Unable to hide such a secret as a child, Perotto was severely beaten and thrown into jail. With the help of Giulia, Lucrezia's maid, he managed to break out of the prison despite his own injuries, and meet up with Giulia's brother (the same doctor that had told him of his son's ill fate). With his help, he was able to flee, taking his son out of Rome, and knowing that it would be impossible to see Lucrezia ever again.[2]
However, Rodrigo Borgia quickly discovered his escape, and sent his soldiers after him, though they were overtaken by Perotto's ambush in which he killed nearly all of them with his bow. Perotto knew that the only thing that could heal his son was an artifact that was in the possession of his Order, a certain Shroud.[2]
Perotto thus headed to Agnadello, the supposed place where the Shroud was hidden, but he was surprised and saddened that his own Brothers - those who been set to guard the Shroud - stood in his way. With no other choice, he fought them and won, either killing or otherwise disabling all of them.[2]
Reaching the home of Rinaldo Vitturi, he found the Shroud and asked it to heal his son. After the process, the boy appeared to be healed, but it was not certain to Perotto whether or not it was effective. He put the Shroud back into the box he had claimed it from and left.[2][1]
However, Perotto's recklessness in rushing for the Shroud cost him dearly, as his Brothers (his former apprentice Francesco Vecellio among them) had decided that he was a threat to be eliminated at once, and had tracked him to Agnadello. Upon reaching Agnadello themselves, they had found the bodies of the Assassins that Perotto had defeated in his desperation, and after questioning the civilians of his location, they attempted to stealthily engage him.[2]
A battle of bows began, with Perotto taking out yet more of his Brothers, even those that dared come closer. However, he refused to attack Francesco, even when the young Assassin took aim at him. In the end, Perotto was surrounded and granted swift justice for his breaking of the Creed that he had vowed to follow.[2][1]
Trivia
- Francesco once commented that Perotto's skill with a bow was unmatched by anybody in their Order during his time.
- Through a lapse similar to the bleeding effect, Perotto was able to speak through his son to tell Francesco that he forgave him.
