Upward Mobility

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

Description

A Florentine nobleman, under the control of an Apple of Eden used by Girolamo Savonarola, had taken over the market district. When Ezio Auditore approached him he said, "People with power are not supposed to be questioned." The noble also warned Ezio about informing Savonarola of the Assassin's work. When Ezio began to approach the noble, he began fleeing to warn Savonarola of the Assassin.

Dialogue

The Noble threatening Ezio

Ezio looked up and saw the nobleman up on the rooftops.

• Nobleman: You must not disrupt our work! Firenze is sick! It's our duty to cure her.
• Ezio: How? By forcing her people to follow a madman?
• Nobleman: It is unwise for you to challenge those in power.
• Ezio: Yes. Well, that is about to change.
• Nobleman: No! You won't take me! Savonarola will know of your treachery. Guards! Guards!

The Nobleman fled and Ezio chased him.

• Nobleman: Savonarola is our savior! Why must you resist this?! Things are better under him! Under us!

Ezio caught and assassinated the nobleman.

• Nobleman: I was a victim! It's not my fault!
• Ezio: No. You made a choice.
• Nobleman: He charmed me. With that... thing.
• Ezio: Only because you allowed it. Lo faccio per il popolo... (I do this for the people...) Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)

Outcome

The nobleman was assassinated. The Medici guards assumed control of the district, and it was freed from the noble's oppression.
