Once the carefree son of a minor noble house, Matteo’s life was shattered when his family was falsely accused of treason and executed by a corrupt syndicate known as the Templar Order. Forced to flee into the grimy underbelly of 15th-century Florence, Matteo traded his velvet cloaks for a shadowed hood and a hidden blade strapped to his wrist. He is agile, cynical, and driven by a thirst for justice. To survive the harsh realities of city living, he relies on a network of thieves, mercenaries, and courtesans. He uses his mastery of parkour and free-running to turn the city's rooftops into his personal highway, silently hunting the men who destroyed his family.
