Outcome

The Assassin killed a Templar agent named Vittorio in order to stall the messenger. Retrieving a forged letter, he threatened the messenger into swapping the real one, which was a summons from Il Corvo calling all Crows to Rome. Upon hearing this, Niccolò Machiavelli joined the Assassins and rode to Rome immediately.
