Il Carnefice
For the multiplayer character, see Executioner'.
"The woman was not my best but, she still died well."
Il Carnefice was an executioner active in the city of Rome and a member of the Templar Order.
In 1500, he forced himself onto a woman, only to have her hanged. The woman's husband later mourned her death, which was noticed by Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Feeling obliged to bring justice to Il Carnefice, Ezio infiltrated his cliff side palazzo. Il Carnefice was discussing his latest kill with an associate of his, only to be struck down by Ezio.[1]
With Il Carnefice dead, the executions of many innocent citizens were put to a stop.
Il Carnefice had also shown pride in his work by even saying that the woman he hanged was not his best kill.
Il Carnefice also appears in Project Legacy in the mission 'Gallows Humor' in the first memory sequence of the Rome pack. Cesare Borgia sent Fiora Cavazza to bring him a sealed envelope. At first, Il Carnefice acted serious upon opening the envelope, telling Fiora that her name is in its contents, but it turns out that he was only playing a prank on her, since he admitted that he couldn't read. Fiora later witnessed his brutal executions, ending up more disgusted than terrified of his antics.
His axe doesn't seem to be the one he uses in multiplayer.
