Database: Mario Auditore (Identity)
| This article is about the Animus Omega database entry. You may be looking for the Animus 2.0 or 2.01 entry. |
Date of Birth: 1434.
Profession: Condottiero, Noble.
One of several condottieri patrolling the Tuscan countryside, Mario Auditore played a significant role in the Battle of Anghiari, alerting Micheletto Attendolo to the appearance of several dust clouds over the road which signaled a surprise advance by Milanese troops. Thanks to Mario, the Milanese attack was foiled and the Florentines won the battle.
Although Mario sided with Firenze in Anghiari, for most of his career he defended the interests of his hometown Monteriggioni, derailing Florentine attempts to seize Tuscan territory.
While Mario's younger brother, Giovanni, moved to Firenze in 1454 to pursue a career in banking, Mario stayed at the family's villa in Monteriggioni, stating in a letter to Giovanni that he "preferred fighting like a man, to filling out balance sheets".
