Into the Shadows
Into the Shadows was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description[edit | edit source]
Having discovered Tarik Barleti's involvement in a weapons deal with Manuel Palaiologos. Ezio Auditore traveled back to Prince Suleiman I to tell him of his discoveries. Ezio then set off to acquire a Janissary outfit.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Suleiman and Ahmet were playing a game of chess.
- Ahmet: That's not a legal move.
- Suleiman: It is a European variation. Arrocco. (Castling.)
- Ahmet: It's interesting, but not exactly fair when you play by different rules than your opponent.
- Suleiman: You may think differently when you are Sultan. Shall I take it back?
- Ahmet: Suleiman, I know it has been hard on you, watching your father and me quarrel over Bayezid's throne.
- Suleiman: Grandfather has chosen you, and his word is kanun (law). What is there to argue about?
- Ahmet: Your father and I were close once, but his cruelty and ambition have made-
- Suleiman: I have heard the rumors, uncle.
- Ahmet: Well, I have a meeting with the viziers soon. Shall we continue another time?
- Suleiman: Whenever you like.
Ezio walked up to Suleiman as Ahmet left.
- Suleiman: Ezio.
- Ezio: Tarik has been selling guns to a local miser. Manuel Palaiologos.
- Suleiman: Palaiologos... that is a sad sound. The last Byzantine Emperor was Constantine Palaiologos. If his heir is arming a militia of some kind, this conflict will escalate.
- Ezio: Tarik knows where the rifles are headed. If I find him first, I can follow the weapons straight to the Byzantines.
- Suleiman: He will be with his Janissaries in their barracks. So if you want to get close, you will have to be one yourself.
- Ezio: Not a problem.
- Suleiman: Guzel. (Good.) Get the information you need, then kill him.
- Ezio: Are you sure? You told me Tarik and your father were close friends, Suleiman.
- Suleiman: This is true. But such naked treason against my grandfather deserves death.
- Ezio: Intesi. (Understood.)
Ezio took his leave and began looking for ways to infiltrate the Janissary camp to get close to Tarik. He soon came across a lonely Janissary and assassinated him in a secluded spot, obtaining his uniform.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Ezio acquired a Janissary outfit and was ready to infiltrate the Janissary camp.
