Should it be mentioned anywhere that he believes the world is round, long before it was commonly accepted? Also, concerning the Priory of Scion, I thought that it had Hospitaller connections, a rival sect to the Knights Templar. I could be completely wrong. AgentValentine 06:12, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

No. Please remember that this is Assassin's Creed Wiki and not Wikipedia. If those things are not mentioned or shown in the game, then don't put them on the article. - SilverSummoner^TaLk 06:16, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

I was referring to information that was mentioned in the DLC. I actually screwed up what I meant--not that the world is round, but that it circles the sun, lol. As for the Priory of Scion comment, that was already mentioned on this article. I wouldn't have added it in. Thanks. AgentValentine 04:04, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

"In his biography, it is speculated that Leonardo is homosexual. However, at a certain points in the game he himself implies that he regularly visits the girls at La Rosa Della Virtù, the ambiguity lives on." It's mentioned, once, that he knows Teodora and thinks she's interesting. They go so far as to mention Leonardo's likely lover, Salai, who he painted countless times and often gave free reign of his money to. I don't want to step on any toes, but it seems like whoever wrote that is trying to cast Leonardo as another straight-yet-misunderstood hero. AgentValentine 21:21, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe he could be a bisexual. Honestly, the guy is a genius, I didn't care what his orientation is. And nor did Ezio. That kind of info can be removed from the article. If there's no hint of a homo from his part in the game, then he's straight. My oppinion. -- D. Cello 03:11, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

There is hints of homo. In fact, the game states that he "was most likely homosexual and the database entry talks about his lover, Salai, who he painted over and over, left lots of money to, left his most famous paintings to, and in his life gave free reign of his bank account to. Leo was this kids sugar-daddy. AgentValentine 06:46, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

If David Wallace says, David Wallace is right... the database's never wrong XD
If his hinted as a homo, and also takes interest in girls, then he's a bi. Whatever he is, be gay or bi, can be added as a small note in the trivia section, nothing more, since it's such a minor trivia who doesn't affect the game. -- D. Cello 01:56, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

It's Danny Wallace. And I wasn't just referring to the Database. -_- But he doesn't take interest in women at all. He knows Teodora. So what? I know girls, it doesn't make me bi. I think the trivia fact about his sexuality should be taken out all together, or the part about him taking interest in women should be removed. He never--NEVER--takes interest in women during the game. AgentValentine 02:40, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, he doesn't take interest... And outside of the game, we hae records of him being bi or gay? -- D. Cello 02:47, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

It is widely accepted by scholars that he was homosexual, and made very few efforts to hide it. AgentValentine 04:02, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, throw it in the trivia then. -- D. Cello 05:38, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

I would be careful what you say. There is no proof either way. While it is true that charges were brought on Sodomy twice, they were dropped both times for failure of a witness and they accusations were made anonymously. It is widely accepted falsely. There are no conclusive records of him being either bisexual or homosexual. All there is are speculations and rumors, and moreover, does it even matter? I would put more interesting trivia in, like Da Vinci never drew all the components of a machined part for security. A way to ensure his war machines schematics were not duplicated without his approval and input. Or that he could percieve and draw a bird in flight in any angle by looking from any other angle.

Could someone possibly get a screenshot from the Brotherhood sneak-peek where we can see his face? 98.192.42.30 20:28, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

I'll put one, even if it's not very high quality. GuardDog 23:15, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
