Ezio: No mere number can repair the world. Come, my friend, help me charter a ship to Navarre. I must finish with Cesare Borgia. It is not intended for us.

Leonardo: Ezio. What are you not telling me?

Ezio: What else are you working on?

Leonardo: Well, I have begun several dissection studies. Then King Louis XII seems interested in hiring me as an engineer. Oh yes, I am thinking of repainting the St. John lost in the Villa fire. Salaì would model for it again, of course. Then, perhaps I will study a woman with child to see how her body changes.

Ezio: Interesting. Tell me more.

☼ 15.4.1452
† 2.5.1519

I thought my work was done. I was wrong.

Once more, I must venture into the fray. By recruiting enemies of the state, we arm those who have been disarmed by the Borgia.

The greed, the corruption, the tyranny my enemies have spread will burn to the ground.

From the ashes of vengeance, a new Rome will rise.
