Vieri de' Pazzi

"I'm sorry, were you hoping for a confession?"

- Vieri's last words

Vieri de' Pazzi (1454 - 1478) was a member of Florentine nobility during the Italian Renaissance.

Early life
Vieri was born somewhere in Tuscany, Italy as the son of Francesco de' Pazzi. He was extremely spoiled by his father and thought that everything he wanted, he would get.

One day, he met with Cristina Vespucci in front of her house, asking her why she "hadn't spread her legs yet." When Cristina refused to become intimate with Vieri, the latter attempted to sexually attack her, but was punched in the face by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who had followed Cristina to her house.

As a Templar
Vieri joined the Templar Order some time prior to 1476, an organization of which likely his entire family was a part of.

In 1476, Vieri and Ezio, who had become rivals, met on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, where they and their friends had a street fight. Vieri himself didn't join the fight and fled when he realized he had lost the fight.

Vieri and Ezio met again when the latter was escaping Florence with his mother and sister after having assassinated Uberto Alberti. Vieri tried to kill the three by sending his armed thugs to them. However, the three were rescued by Mario Auditore and his men, after which Vieri fled.

Death
Vieri met with his father, uncle and Rodrigo Borgia (the Grand Master of the Templar Order) in San Gimignano in 1477 to discuss the Pazzi Conspiracy. As soon as the four of them went their separate ways, Mario Auditore and his mercenaries attacked Vieri's men. Vieri fled to the city walls, where he was assassinated by Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Personality and characteristics
Vieri was a cruel man who liked nothing more than to win, in any variety of contests. He would call for competitions against other noble families, which were always rigged for his victory. In the rare occasions where he would lose, he would invite the winner and his family to dinner and subsequently poison them by serving them a meal "to die for."

Final words
Ezio: ''What are you and your allies planning? Is this what my father discovered? Is this why he was killed?''

Vieri: I'm sorry, were you hoping for a confession?

Trivia

 * Strangely, Vieri's birth year is listed to be 1454, whereas his father's is 1444. There is likely an error in the database with either one or both of their ages.
