Paola

"I'm going to teach you how to survive."

―Paola, to Ezio

Paola is the leader of the "Courtesans" (prostitutes) of which her brothel is situated in Florence. She is also the (presumably older) sister of Auditore family servant Annetta.

Description

She lost her parents, who were Assassins, at age 8 when they were killed at sea. Left with a choice between joining a nunnery and prostitution, she began a life on the streets.

At 16, she vanished from the records, only to reappear at age 20 when she was arrested for murdering a city guard. On an interesting note, Giovanni Auditore represented her in court, winning the case on a self defence plea.

Released from prison, Paola went on to start her own brothel to protect many other unfortunate women of the street.

Trivia

• She is revealed to be an Assassin when you fight The Spaniard in Venice.
