Man of the People

Ezio talks with La Volpe, Caterina Sforza and Niccolò Machiavelli regarding recent events at the Castel Sant'Angelo. He also decides to recruit people to their cause from the public. Ezio helps citizens in need and directs them to Machiavelli.

Dialogue
Ezio enters the Assassins Guild on Tiber Island. Caterina is being tended to by a doctor. La Volpe walks over to join them. Machiavelli suddenly appears and joins them. Ezio turns to walk out of the Guild and passes the doctor. Outside, Ezio and Machiavelli walk together crossing a bridge over the Tiber River. Ezio walks off into the streets to find citizens in need, who are being troubled by the Borgia. He fights with the citizens and together they defeat the Borgia.
 * Caterina: Ezio.
 * Ezio: Where is Machiavelli?
 * Caterina: I could not find him.
 * La Volpe: I brought the Contessa (Countess) here.
 * Machiavelli: Caterina.
 * La Volpe: ''Care to tell us where you have been?'
 * Machiavelli: 'Looking for Ezio. What of Cesare and Rodrigo?''
 * Ezio: Cesare rode off before I could get close to him and Rodrigo was somewhere else entirely.
 * Machiavelli: That is odd. Rodrigo is usually at the Castello.
 * La Volpe: Very odd indeed.
 * Machiavelli: What a waste. No offence.
 * Caterina: None taken.
 * Ezio: With Cesare gone to Urbino, we must build our forces.
 * Machiavelli: I thought we intended to strike now?
 * Caterina: Impossible. Cesare commands a massive army in Romagna. You would never reach him.
 * Ezio: I say we work here. In Roma. Erode the Borgia’s influence while restoring our own. And in fact, I want to begin right now. Volpe, bring Claudia and Bartolomeo d'Alviano here. Machiavelli, meet me outside.
 * 'Ezio: Take care of her.
 * Ezio': Look. The Borgia rob everything from the people to maintain power.
 * Machiavelli: What do you intend to do?
 * Ezio: We will recruit them to our cause.
 * Machiavelli: ''You can not be serious.'
 * Ezio: To win this war, Machiavelli, we need loyal soliders. By recruiting enemies of the state, we arm those who have been disarmed by the Borgia.
 * Machiavelli: Go then. Recruit our first novices.
 * Man: Assassin!
 * Ezio: The Liberation of Roma has begun. If you choose to flee, do so now, but if you choose to fight, stand with me against the Borgia.
 * Man: I am tired of hiding in the shadows. I will join you.
 * Ezio: Then seek Niccolò Machiavelli on Isola Tiberina (Tiber Island) and we will make you one of us. Their lies will no longer mask your truth.

 * Ezio: The liberation of Roma has begun.
 * Woman 1: That was close, grazie. Would you teach me to fight these vermin as you do?
 * Woman 2: Your cause is also mine, my life is at your service!
 * Woman 3: Your actions are truly noble! Allow my fury to strike with yours!

Outcome
Ezio recruits the first of the novices to the Assassins’ cause. More citizens can now be recruited throughout Rome in the same way
