An Unexpected Visitor
An Unexpected Visitor is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Description
After following a mysterious voice, Ezio Auditore met with his old friend Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo explained his involvement with the Borgia, and upon hearing of Ezio's loss of the Codex weapons, offered to make him new weapons.
Dialogue
Ezio heard a voice calling to him.
- Mysterious Voice: Pst. Ezio! Over here. Ezio! Come here.
- Ezio: Chi è lá? (Who is there)?
- Leonardo: Ezio!
- Ezio: Leonardo!
- Leonardo: I knew you were behind the break-in at Sant’Angelo! It is good to see you, friend.
- Ezio: Come here. (They embrace).
- Leonardo: Forgive me. The Borgia have commandeered my services. Actually, they would have killed me had I refused.
- Ezio: What do they want?
- Leonardo: War machines. I have constructed weapons for all the Borgia guards and other terrible monstrosities besides. They are very well designed, Ezio. Here. The names of the Templars overseeing their construction. Cesare intends to supply his army with my creations. You must dismantle them.
- Ezio: Grazie (Thank you). I will take care of the plans and the machines.
- Leonardo: There is far graver news, I am afraid. They have the Apple.
- Ezio: Yes, I know. I gave the Apple to Mario.
- Leonardo: I am sorry, Ezio. Cesare left it in my hands to study, to make it work. Then Rodrigo took it from me, I know not where.
- Ezio: I will recover it in time. Leonardo, I have lost all the Codex inventions you once fashioned for me.
- Leonardo: Hmm. Remaking them will be easy, I never forget a design. But you must compensate me for the raw material.
- Ezio: Really? They are not paying you at il Vaticano (the Vatican)?
- Leonardo: Very... very little. If we are to do this, we must appear to not meet at all.
Leonardo drew on a nearby bench.
- Ezio: A hand pointing?
- Leonardo: It’s pointing to where you should sit. So, sit!
- Ezio: Yes, maestro.
Ezio sat and Leonardo followed. Ezio could now purchase the Double Blade, the Climb Leap Glove, or Poison Darts from Leonardo.
- Leonardo: Wait here. I will be back soon. I must return to my workshop.
- Ezio: (When purchasing the Double Blade) I can kill double the guards.
- Ezio: (When purchasing the Climb Leap Glove) Now nothing will be out of my reach.
- Ezio: (When purchasing Poison Darts) Just a small sting and my enemies will fall.
- Leonardo: (When Ezio does not purchase anything) I will be in the area for a little while longer if you change your mind.
Outcome
Ezio could now meet with Leonardo in different locations around Rome and purchase the Double Blade, Climb Leap Glove, and Poison Darts from Leonardo. Once Ezio destroyed all the war machines, Leonardo would also create a Parachute for Ezio, which he could then purchase from any Tailor.
Trivia
- Just before Leonardo appears, Ezio approaches a cardboard box. This is one of the references in the Assassin's Creed series to the Metal Gear series.
- When Ezio says Chi è lá? (Who is there?), the English subtitles in the in-game brackets are actually "Whos is there?”
- If you turn and look at Ezio's face when the voice is calling to him, you can clearly see that Ezio is actually saying "Psst. Ezio, over here," not Leonardo.
