Plot summary[]

2017: Juhani Otso Berg enters his private study office at Abstergo Montreal. As part of his activities as the Black Cross, he must take on the teachings of the Assassins, and learn how to graft their skills and knowledge onto himself. To this end, he seeks to better his understanding of the Brotherhood by looking at some of their most famous members. He starts by opening the file of Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

1519: Amboise, France. An ailing Leonardo da Vinci lies in bed. A servant tries to serve food to him, but he refuses and requests that it is given to a poor deserving soul in the streets. As the servant leaves and closes the door, Ezio reveals himself from his hiding place behind it. The two old friends embrace as Ezio tells Leonardo that Niccolò Machiavelli will also be joining them in the morning. After discussing Leonardo's fading health, he asks Ezio to amuse him by telling him a secret.

Ezio begins his story of how he met the legendary 'Mona Lisa' - Lisa Gherardini - in 1504. Injured in a battle outside of Florence, he awoke to find himself tied up in a barn, where Lisa had nursed him back to health and dressed his wounds. She compared his tying up to how animals are snared for their protection and told him a story of how she had freed a fox she had found caught in a snare as a child, to which Ezio remarked that he must be her fox. As Lisa helped him recover in secret, she and Ezio became close, but since Lisa was already married the two could not act on their feelings for each other. Eventually, Ezio left to return to his Assassin duties, which Lisa understood.

A year later, Ezio discovered that Pope Julius II had ordered a hit on Leonardo due to his previous work for Cesare Borgia, who had forced him to create war machines for his army. Ezio intercepted the mercenaries sent to kill Leonardo and managed to dispatch them before finding Leonardo at his workshop. There he walked in to find Lisa posing for Leonardo as the latter was working on the Mona Lisa. Recognizing Ezio, Lisa gratified him with a smile, which Leonardo asked her to keep for the painting. Deciding not to disturb Leonardo, Ezio left without saying a word and never saw Lisa again.

As Ezio finishes his story, he finds that the elderly Leonardo has fallen asleep. Ezio kisses his head and promises to see him again before his end, then leaves as quietly as he has arrived.

2017: Otso Berg concludes that the Assassins value loyalty, love and compassion as much as the Templars, which he believes makes them weak since they can be easily infiltrated, betrayed and killed.[2]
