Il Carnefice
For the multiplayer character, see Executioner'.
"It was not my best work but, it is hard to make good art with poor materials."
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.
You will assassinate him in the second memory (Well Executed) of the second sequence (A Wilderness of Tigers)
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.
Database Entry
Il Carnefice
Date of Birth: 1473.
Profession: Executioner.
There's nothing in the history books about Il Carnefice, so I did a little digging in Abstergo's mainframe. Here's what I found: " A natural ally for the Borgia, Il Carnefice kills to the roar of an approving crowd.
The other small piece of information I could dig up is that he fancies himself as some sort of twisted artist. I guess that explains the crowd bit. I wonder if he does tricks while performing executions, or whether it's all in the subtle way he pulls the lever?
