Lanz


 * For the Multiplayer character, see Footpad.

Lanz was the leader of the Rome-based gang of thieves, the Cento Occhi.

Biography
Lanz fell in love with a woman, and they were to have a baby. However, the baby was a miscarriage and Lanz fell into a depression. He joined the Cento Occhi gang, resorting to "pushing men off buildings." Some time later, he had become the gang's leader.

In 1503, he was visited by Fiora Cavazza, who came representing Cesare Borgia. At first, he paid no mind to the woman, but realized that she was a member of Borgia's Templar Agents network when she threw a knife next to his feet. As he feared the Borgia, he was eager to make an alliance in which the Cento Occhi would deliver several payments for the Borgia.

The same year, Lanz's wife also fell into a depression, calling for him to return to her, or she would take her own life. She stood upon a rooftop, and planned to throw herself off when Lanz arrived, to remind Lanz of the man he once was. However, the Assassin Ezio Auditore found her, and was able to prevent her from commiting suicide, saying that Lanz did not deserve her, and that he would take care of Lanz for her. Ezio managed to track Lanz down and assassinated him.



Database Entry
Date of Birth: 1480.

Profession: Thief.

I've found a brief mention of a thief in Rome called Lanz, who seems to be connected to a variety of domestic disturbances. According to Abstergo's files, Lanz ran with the Cento Occhi gang, which means "Hundred Eyes", I would assume that's a metaphor, but WATCH out.
