Persona Non Grata

Persona Non Grata was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's repressed genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Ezio Auditore met Leonardo da Vinci and learned that Cristina Vespucci was attending Carnevale in Venice, with her husband Manfredo Soderini.

Dialogue

Ezio met Leonardo during Carnevale.

• Leonardo: Ezio! I was hoping to see you tonight.
• Ezio: I don't have much time. The Doge's party starts very soon.
• Leonardo: Nevertheless, I have news. I hear Cristina Vespucci is in Venezia for Carnevale. Weren't the two of you close?
• Ezio: Once...
• Leonardo: Perhaps it would not have been better not to tell you. She's with her husband. She may not be too happy to see you.
• Ezio: No... It's wonderful. It's Carnevale! With this mask, she need not even know it's me! I know just the way to draw her attention... Grazie, amico.

Leaving his good friend, Ezio searched for Cristina. Having found her, Ezio found a way to slip her a note he had written.

• Ezio: There... Now to await her at the rendezvous.

Ezio successfully planted the note on Cristina and went to the alleyway where they would meet and Cristina arrived at the rendezvous.

• Ezio: Cristina...
• Cristina: Manfredo! When did you get so romantic--
• Ezio: Sshhh...

Ezio and Cristina kissed intimately, but after a moment, Cristina became suspicious and removed his mask.

• Cristina: Ezio...? What the hell are you doing here!? How dare you--?
• Ezio: Cristina... It's alright.
• Cristina: Alright!? I haven't seen you in eight years!
• Ezio: Sì... (Yes...) I was afraid you wouldn't come if I... just asked.
• Cristina: You're right. I wouldn't have! Ezio... The last time I saw you, you kissed me in the alley-- and then left me behind to get married!
• Ezio: It was the right thing to do. He loved you.
• Cristina: Who cares what he wanted? -- I loved YOU. You had your second chance... Please, Ezio... Don't ever find me again.

After saying those words, Cristina left.

Outcome

Ezio impersonated Manfredo and saw Cristina again. However, upon realizing that he was not her husband, Cristina asked him to never to find her again.

Trivia

• "Persona non grata" is Latin for "an unwelcome person".
• This was the only memory of Cristina that did not take place in Florence.
• If Ezio accessed this memory while wearing any outfit, Ezio would not wear a mask.
• Despite taking place during Sequence 9 of Assassin's Creed II, Ezio could still gain notoriety in Venice during this memory.
• Although Cristina had seen Ezio's outfit multiple times, she showed no signs of recognizing it.
