Lanz (1480-1503) was the leader of the Rome-based gang of thieves, the Cento Occhi.[1]
Biography
Lanz fell in love with a woman, and they were to have a baby. However, the baby was miscarried and Lanz fell into a depression. He joined the Cento Occhi gang, resorting to "pushing men off buildings." Some time later, he became the gang's leader.[2]
In 1503, he was visited by Fiora Cavazza, who came representing Cesare Borgia for he and his gang had robbed a Papal Carriage. At first, he paid no mind to the woman, but realized that she was a member of Borgia's Templar Agents network when she threw a knife next to his feet. As he feared the Borgia, he was eager to make an alliance in which the Cento Occhi would deliver several payments for the Borgia.[1]
The same year, Lanz's wife also fell into a depression, calling for him to return to her, or she would take her own life. She stood upon a rooftop, and planned to throw herself off when Lanz arrived, to remind Lanz of the man he once was. However, the Assassin Ezio Auditore found her, and was able to prevent her from commiting suicide, saying that she should not take the responsibility for Lanz's deeds, and that he would take care of Lanz for her. Ezio searched the very Southwest tip of the Centro District for him. He found him free-running across buildings and pursued him till he got in range and assassintated him. Ezio gave Lanz his last rites after his request was fulfilled to Lanz's wife.[2]
Database Entry
Date of Birth: 1480.
Profession: Thief.
I've found a brief mention of a thief in Rome called Lanz, who seems to be connected to a variety of domestic disturbances. According to Abstergo's files, Lanz ran with the Cento Occhi gang, which means "Hundred Eyes", I would assume that's a metaphor, but WATCH out.
