Guard captain (Piagnone)
The Captain Guard was a captain of Florentine guards. In 1497, Girolamo Savonarola managed to gain the captain guard's services by promising him power. He was killed by Ezio Auditore da Firenze the same year to weaken Savonarola's power in Florence.
Speech
"Ah! Another challenger! Excellent! Savonarola warned me that some would oppose our rule. And so I devised this little trap - to ferret out those foolish enough to play at hero. It's proven to be both entertaining and effective. Incominciamo! (Let us begin!)"
Last Words

Captain: Is this truly who I was? So proud and cruel...
Ezio: No. Savonarola bewitched you.
Artist: Did he? Or was it that I tasted power and found myself intoxicated? I wish I had been stronger.
Ezio: As do I. Mi rincresce, ma non c'è altro modo. (I am truly sorry, but there is no other way.). Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace).
