Sofia: It is a good likeness, don’t you think?

Ezio: I prefer the original.

Sofia: This was a gift from my father for my twenty-eight birthday. I had to sit for Messer (Mister) Albrecht Dürer for a full week. Can you imagine? Me sitting still for seven days? Doing nothing?

Ezio: I cannot.

Sofia: Una tortura! (Torture!) So, I found you another book location. And it is not far from here actually.

Ezio: Grazie. (Thank you.)

Sofia: Ezio, what is this all about? You are not a scholar, that much is clear. Do you work for the church?

Ezio: Not the church, no. But I am a teacher… of a kind. I will explain one day, Sofia. When I can.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations was released 5 years ago today.

Sofia: What do you hope to find behind that door?

Ezio: Knowledge, above all else. Altaïr was a profound man and a prolific writer. He built this place as a repository for all his wisdom. He saw many things in his life, and learned many secrets, both troubling and strange. Knowledge that would drive lesser men to despair.

Sofia: Does that worry you?

Ezio: Sofia, you should know by now. I am not a lesser man.
