Biography

War plans

In 1503, Francesco spoke to his brother about Cesare's war plans for <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Romagna%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Romagna%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRomagna%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3510-2210094654ef9ae86a709e" href="/wiki/Romagna" title="Romagna">Romagna</a> and, worried, Egidio wrote to the ambassador of <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Venice%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Venice%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BVenice%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3510-2210094654ef9ae86a709e" href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a> to warn him. Unbeknownst to him, one of his letters was intercepted, and Cesare blamed the leak of information on Francesco.

The Banker

A few months after sending the letter, Egidio fell into debt with one of Cesare's mysterious generals, a man known simply as "<a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22the%20Banker%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Juan%20Borgia%20the%20Elder%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BJuan%20Borgia%20the%20Elder%7Cthe%20Banker%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3510-2210094654ef9ae86a709e" href="/wiki/Juan_Borgia_the_Elder" title="Juan Borgia the Elder">the Banker</a>."

He found the Senator in the Campidoglio, being beaten upon by <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Borgia%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22House%20of%20Borgia%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHouse%20of%20Borgia%7CBorgia%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3510-2210094654ef9ae86a709e" href="/wiki/House_of_Borgia" title="House of Borgia">Borgia</a> <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22guards%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22guards%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bguards%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3510-2210094654ef9ae86a709e" href="/wiki/Guards" title="Guards">guards</a> that had come to collect the debt he owed.

Ezio came to the Senator's rescue, killing the attackers and escorting Egidio safely through Rome until they arrived at Francesco's house. During their walk together, Egidio brought up his dislike of the Borgia for robbing the Roman Senate of power. He even admitted to gambling and drinking (and whoring, as Ezio added) because he had nothing else to do.

Egidio was grateful for Ezio's actions, particularly when the Assassin gave him the 3,000 florins he needed to pay his debt, with only the condition that Egidio keep an eye on the politicians aiding Cesare. Egidio agreed, though not without obvious reluctance; mostly because it would mean that his brother could also become a target in the future.

When Egidio met up with one of the Banker's guards to deliver the payment for his debt, he was led to the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Pantheon%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Pantheon%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BPantheon%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3510-2210094654ef9ae86a709e" href="/wiki/Pantheon" title="Pantheon">Pantheon</a>, with Ezio following him from above. There, Egidio was held until they were sure the debt had been paid in full, while Luigi, the commanding Borgia captain, counted the money he had brought.

After Egidio's payment had been deemed complete, a guard moved to kill him, however, Ezio (who had assassinated Luigi and had disguised himself in his place) ordered the guards to let Egidio go free.

Database Entry

The eldest of two brothers, Egidio was the son of a Senator who had the bad luck of following in his father's footsteps. Described as a naive idealist in a letter from his brother, Francesco, Egidio attempted to bring back the era of the Roman commune where the Senate, the Conservatori, stood at the head of a democracy. Problem was, the Papacy wanted Rome all for itself.

As the century came to a close, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22the%20Pope%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Rodrigo%20Borgia%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRodrigo%20Borgia%7Cthe%20Pope%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3510-2210094654ef9ae86a709e" href="/wiki/Rodrigo_Borgia" title="Rodrigo Borgia">the Pope</a> seized control of Rome's urban planning, public works and finances, leaving the Conservatori with little more to do than plan festivals. Egidio, seeing his fellow Senators turn a blind eye as the Campidoglio slowly became a living museum, seems to have grown jaded: "Am I the only one in all of Rome who continues to seek freedom and justice?" he writes in a letter dated 1494. Records kept at the Rosa in Fiore indicate he began visiting regularly in 1495.

Meanwhile, Egidio's brother Francesco went to work for the Pope as his chamberlain and secretary, becoming good friends with Cesare, such good friends, in fact, that he was called "one of the Borgia's most trusted assassins". A letter sent to the Venetian ambassador by Egidio in 1503 detailing Cesare's war plans for the region reveals his hatred for Cesare and his brother's inability to keep secrets while under the influence.
