An Unexpected Visitor was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus 2.01.[1]

Description[]

Ezio followed a mysterious voice calling to him from a side street.

Dialogue[]

Ezio heard an unknown voice calling to him.

  • Voice: Pst. Ezio! Over here. Ezio! Come here.

Ezio searched for the mysterious voice, descending down some stairs to a small landing and approached a set of stacked boxes. Leonardo appeared behind him, and Ezio turned around on hearing his footsteps.

Leonardo handing Ezio the list of Templar overseers

  • Ezio: Chi è lá? (Who is there?)
  • Leonardo: Ezio!
  • Ezio: Leonardo!
  • Leonardo: I knew you were behind the break-in at Sant'Angelo! It is good to see you, friend.
  • Ezio: Come here.

The two embraced.

  • Leonardo: Forgive me. The Borgia have commandeered my services. Actually, they would have killed me had I refused.
  • Ezio: What do they want?
  • Leonardo: War machines. I have constructed weapons for all the Borgia guards and other terrible monstrosities besides. They are very well designed, Ezio. Here. The names of the Templars overseeing their construction. Cesare intends to supply his army with my creations. You must dismantle them.
  • Ezio: Grazie (Thank you). I will take care of the plans and the machines.
  • Leonardo: There is far graver news, I am afraid. They have the Apple.
  • Ezio: Yes, I know. I gave the Apple to Mario.
  • Leonardo: I am sorry, Ezio. Cesare left it in my hands to study, to make it work. Then Rodrigo took it from me, I know not where.
  • Ezio: I will recover it in time. Leonardo, I have lost all the Codex inventions you once fashioned for me.
  • Leonardo: Hmm. Remaking them will be easy, I never forget a design. But you must compensate me for the raw material.
  • Ezio: Really? They are not paying you at il Vaticano (the Vatican)?
  • Leonardo: Very... very little. If we are to do this, we must appear to not meet at all.

Leonardo drew a sketch on a nearby bench.

Visitor 3

Leonardo marking a bench with a drawing

  • Ezio: A hand pointing?
  • Leonardo: It's pointing to where you should sit. So, sit!
  • Ezio: Yes, maestro.

Ezio sat on the bench and Leonardo joined him. Ezio considered whether to buy another Hidden Blade, a Climb Leap Glove, or a poison dart attachment for the Hidden Blade in lieu of the Poison Blade.

Ezio chose a Codex weapon for Leonardo to create.

  • Leonardo: Wait here. I will be back soon.
    I must return to my workshop. Wait here.

Some time passed before Leonardo returned with the invention. Ezio gave him a pouch of coins and he handed over the gear. Ezio admired his acquisition.

  • Ezio: I can kill double the guards.

  • Ezio: Now nothing will be out of my reach.

  • Ezio: Just a small sting and my enemies will fall.

  • Leonardo: I will wait nearby for a few more hours in case you change your mind.
  • He left to station himself elsewhere to avoid attention. Ezio headed to procure the missing money then returned. Leonardo sat down again and whispered to him.

    • Leonardo: What can I get you this time?
      What would you like me to make for you?
      Let me guess, you need more designs.
      What can I bring you this time Ezio?
    (return to previous option)

    Outcome[]

    Ezio reunited with Leonardo but learned the Borgia were forcing him to build war machines for Cesare's army. Despite this, Leonardo assured Ezio that he could remake the gear lost during the siege of Monteriggioni and arranged a secret communication method so they would know when and where to meet and exchange funds for equipment.

    Trivia[]

    • Just before Leonardo appears, Ezio approaches some stacked cardboard boxes. This is an allusion to the Metal Gear series character Solid Snake, who could hide from enemy guards in a cardboard box.
    • If the camera was manipulated to show Ezio's face when the voice was calling to him, it could be seen that Ezio was saying Leonardo's line.
    • Even if Ezio does not purchase anything from Leonardo, the Double Blade still shows up in the Inventory menu's Weapons section for the rest of the game.
