Wolves in Sheep's Clothing was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Knowing that the Pazzi had planned something involving the Medici, beginning at the Duomo, Ezio Auditore set out to stop them.
Dialogue
Ezio arrived at the Duomo, and waited for the Pazzi to reveal themselves.
Francesco de Pazzi and Bernardo Baroncelli broke from the crowd and charged at Giuliano.
- Ezio: There he is. Time to strike.
- Bernardo Baroncelli charged at him;
- Bernardo: Crepa, traditore! (Here, traitor!)
- Bernardo slashed Guiliano's throat, he fell and tried to escape but was held back by Francesco. Lorenzo saw this.
- Lorenzo: Guiliano! No--!
- Stefano da Bagnone stabbed Lorenzo in his neck when he turned around to see Guiliano. He fell to the ground helpless.
- Francesco and Baroncelli, continued their assualt on Guiliano.
- Guiliano: (pleads) No! In nome di Dio, vi scongiuro! Pietà! (No! In the name of God, I beg you, mercy!)
Bernado Baroncelli, Stefano da Bagnone and Antonio Maffei fled when Lorenzo made his stand. However Francesco de Pazzi continued to stab Guliano.
- Francesco: Nessuna pìetà, cane maledetto! Muori! Muori! Muorii ii! (No mercy for you, dog! Die! DIE!)
- After killing Guiliano, Francesco charged towards Lorenzo.
- Francesco: Your day is done, Lorenzo! Your entire family dies by my sword!
Francesco and his guards surrounded Lorenzo. Ezio killed most of the guards before confronting Francesco, who was unable to match Ezio in combat and retreated. More of the Pazzi guards surrounded Lorenzo.
- Lorenzo: Wait... Please. I need help.
- Ezio eliminated the remaining guards.
- Lorenzo: You... saved my life.
- Ezio: It's nothing. But the man who did this to you has to pay!
- Lorenzo: Not now... I need help first. To my home. People I can trust there... Can you...?
- Ezio agreed to escort Lorenzo de Medici to his home.
- Lorenzo: I'm losing a lot of blood...
- Ezio: Hang on, Signore! I'm moving as fast as I can.
- They passed through many Pazzi and Medici guards fighting in small groups.
- Lorenzo: Francesco de Pazzi! I'll kill him! I'll wipe his entire family from the city! They'll be ERASED!
- Ezio: Quietatevi, Signore. (Be still, sir) Conserve your energy, or I'll be delivering a corpse. We're almost there now...
- They reached the back entrance of Palazzo Medici, Ezio knocked on the door.
- Ezio: Lorenzo's been wounded! Aprite la porta! (Open the door!)
- Poliziano: What's the password?
- Lorenzo: Poliziano! Open the maledetta porta!! (fucking door!!)
- On seeing Lorenzo, Poliziano opened the door.
- Poliziano: By the Thrice Greatest! Come in. Quickly! The city is at war! Hurry!
- Ezio and Lorenzo entered the palazzo. Lorenzo sat on a bench nearby and Ezio turned to leave.
- Lorenzo: Wait..
I am in your debt. Tell me. Why did you help me? - Ezio: You are not the only one who lost a brother to the Pazzi. My name is Ezio Auditore.
- Lorenzo: Ah! You're Giovanni's son... Your father was a good man. He understood honor, loyalty.
- A guard rushed in;
- Guard: The Pazzi thugs are storming the Palazzo della Signoria! We can't hold them off much longer- -
- Poliziano: No! If they get inside, they'll murder all our supporters and put their own devils in power!
- Lorenzo: Then my survival would mean nothing. I have to...
- He tried to get up, but realizing that he is too weak to do so he requested Ezio.
- Lorenzo: Francesco de' Pazzi... Help save our city, Auditore... Kill him.
Outcome
Lorenzo de' Medici lost his brother Guiliano. Upon learning that Ezio is Giovanni's son, Lorenzo requested his aid.
