Ali the Moor
Ali was the Moorish bodyguard of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, the Duke of Milan.
Biography[edit | edit source]
On 26 December 1476, Ali accompanied Sforza to the Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore for High Mass, unaware of a Templar plot to murder the Duke. When the conspirators struck, Ali immediately engaged them before joining the Assassin Giovanni Auditore da Firenze, who had arrived too late to intervene, in chasing down the man who had struck the first blow, Giovanni Andrea Lampugnani.[1]
Cornering him against a wall, Ali hooked the end of his battle-staff around Lampugnani's throat and, despite Giovanni's pleas not to, killed the Templar by snapping his neck. After spitting on Lampugnani's corpse, he went to mourn Sforza, who had died of his wounds.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Ali the Moor is a minor character appearing in the 2009 short film, Assassin's Creed: Lineage, where he was portrayed by Canadian actor Henri Pardo. He was only named during the film's credits.
