Doctor (Piagnone)
The Doctor was one of Girolamo Savonarola's nine Lieutenants during the Bonfire of the Vanities.
Biography
Death
Ezio Auditore found the doctor standing before a large crowd in a courtyard, protected by a line of guards. The Doctor offered free medical care, on the sole condition that the patients first pledged their loyalty to Savonarola. While he spoke the people, he gave a speech:
"It's quite simple, amici (my friends). If you desire care, you'll submit yourselves fully to our new ruler. The choice is yours to make. Continue to support the Medici - who, as you know, have long since fled Firenze - or accept Savonarola. Why fight it? Why refuse? He is a good man, strong of character and morals. He seeks to save us from ourselves. And saving is what we need! Before Savonarola came to us, we were mired in lust, pride, gluttony, avarice...need I go on? We shied from the face of God, and why wouldn't we, ashamed of ourselves as we were?"
After bypassing the guards, Ezio assassinated the Doctor. After the Doctor was killed, Paola and La Volpe were seen leading a group of citizens through the square.
Final Words
Doctor: You have spilled the blood of a healer.
Ezio Auditore: No. I have spilled the blood of a tyrant.
Doctor: To command such power over the body, between this world and the next. It seems, I grew intoxicated.
Ezio Auditore: And now you grow still. La tua morte non sarà inutile... Requiescat in pace. (Your death will serve a purpose... Rest in peace.)
