Petruccio Auditore da Firenze (1463 – 1476) was born into the Assassin Order, as the son of Maria and Giovanni Auditore. He was the youngest of the Auditore children, and brother to Federico, Ezio and Claudia.
Petruccio was destined to be trained as an Assassin upon coming of age, but never received the opportunity, or even discovered his family heritage. He was executed in 1476 as an accomplice to his father, who was falsely accused of treason.
Biography
Early life
Petruccio Auditore was a young Florentine nobleman living during the late 15th century. His father Giovanni was a banker, but was also in secret an Assassin, who planned to prepare Petruccio and his brothers for their future in the Order.[1]
However, Petruccio was born sickly. His constant illness forced his parents to take him out of school, and keep him bed-ridden for most of his life.[1]
Death and legacy
In 1476, Petruccio asked his brother, Ezio, to retrieve some feathers for him, the reason for which he kept a secret. Ezio agreed, but only if his younger brother returned to bed afterwards.[1]
The next day, Petruccio was arrested alongside his father and brother on a false charge of treason against the ruling Medici family; he was publicly executed the day after.[1]
That same night, he, Federico and Giovanni were given a proper burial by Ezio.[2]
Trivia
- Interestingly, when viewing Uberto Alberti's database video, Petruccio can be seen hanging on the left-hand side, wearing different clothes.
- Throughout the entire game, it is never hinted why Petruccio actually needed the feathers. But in Assassin's Creed: Renaissance, it is suggested that he was collecting them as a gift for his mother.
- Besides Caterina Sforza's children in the Battle of Forlì DLC, Petruccio is the only non-adult to feature in Assassin's Creed II (apart from the brief memory of Ezio as a baby).
- The main reason for this is Ubisoft's policy of not including children as part of the crowd, in order to prevent foul-minded players from killing them. [citation needed]
