Knowledge is Power

Knowledge is Power  was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description
Ezio practiced his newly fashioned Hidden Gun from Leonardo da Vinci, who got the schematics for it from one of Altaïr's Codex Pages.

Dialogue
Ezio went to Leonardo's workshop to have him decipher another codex page.


 * Leonardo: Ezio! Dio mio! (My god!) You're alive! - Is it true? They say you killed the Doge?


 * Ezio: I was trying to save him, Leonardo. But the truth matters little. I failed. And now I'm the most wanted man in Venezia.


 * Leonardo: Well, perhaps you are in luck! It's Carnevale in Venezia. This is the time where everybody goes without a face!


 * Ezio: That's why I'm here. Do you have a mask I can wear?


 * Leonardo: Of course, of course, somewhere in here...


 * Ezio: Grazie, amico mio. (Thanks my friend.) And I have something for you.


 * Leonardo: Ohhh! More of the Codex!


 * Leonardo: Aha... This one's quite complex... Hmmm... It's a new design my friend... A mechanism for your wrist, but not a blade... In fact, it seems to be a kind of arma da fuoco (firearm) - but as small as a hummingbird!


 * Ezio: Is that possible?


 * Leonardo: I have no idea. Let's build it and find out!

Leonardo has built the Hidden Gun, and has given it to Ezio to test it. Leonardo has also set up a few practice dummies for Ezio to practice on.


 * Ezio: You've done me good, brother.

Leonardo: Ma certo. (Of course.) But I'm sure your return was not just to play with new toys. Is it about this terrible new Doge they've installed... Marco Barbarigo?


 * Leonardo: Then you'll want to speak with your friend Antonio. I've seen him quite a bit lately at a, um, mutal friend's. I'd look for him there - in the Dorsoduro District - to the south. Ask for Sister Teodora.


 * Ezio: Sister?


 * Leonardo: Well, um... In a way. Yes, sister... And Ezio, you can't be carrying weapons out there today.


 * Ezio: Grazie, (Thanks,) Leonardo. Now, about that mask...

Outcome
Ezio aquired the Hidden Gun and the Carnevale Mask.

Trivia

 * One of the practice dummies can be looted, giving Ezio a key. These keys served no purpose, as they were most likely for a feature that was cut out of the game.
