Marco Barbarigo
Marco Barbarigo (1413-1485) was the cousin of Silvio Barbarigo, the older brother of Agostino Barbarigo and secretly a Templar. He belongs to a rich and powerful family. A tyrant since a young age Marco was used to getting whatever he wanted.
Marco's wife, Carlotta, was previously married to his personal bodyguard and close friend Dante Moro. Marco orchestrated an attempt on Dante's life, which failed to kill him, but lead to brain damage, leaving Dante Moro with the mind of a child. Now with the mind of a child. Later, Marco had Dante annul the marriage and kept him as his personal slave.
Assassins Creed 2
Marco and Dante are first seen at a meeting in Venice with Silvio and Carlo Grimaldi. The meeting oddly takes place outside in broad daylight where anyone can hear and follow them (they are walking all over Venice). Marco also informs Silvio and Carlo of his cousin Emilio's death at Ezio Auditore's hands. They are followed by Ezio throughout the entire meeting (unknowingly to them). They plot to kill the current Doge so that Marco can take his place and take control of the Venetian fleets. Their plan works as the Doge is poisoned and dies shortly afterward. A few years later Ezio returns to Venice to kill Marco where it is learned that he never leaves the palace for any such reason at all except during Carnival (which coincidently starts the same day Ezio returned to Venice). After completing the games and getting the Golden mask he is seen on a barge making a speech and is killed by Ezio with the hidden gun.
Final Words
Marco: No, it's too soon. I'm not ready.
Ezio: We rarely are. Che la morte non sia crudele. (Death be not unkind.) Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.) thumb|300px|left|Database entry.
