Persona Non Grata was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's repressed genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description[]
Ezio Auditore met Leonardo da Vinci and learned that Cristina Vespucci was attending Carnevale in Venice, with her husband Manfredo Soderini.
Dialogue[]
Ezio met Leonardo during Carnevale.
- Leonardo: Ezio! I was hoping to see you tonight.
- Ezio: I don't have much time. The Doge's party starts very soon.
- Leonardo: Nevertheless, I have news. I hear Cristina Vespucci is in Venezia for Carnevale. Weren't the two of you close?
- Ezio: Once...
- Leonardo: Perhaps it would not have been better not to tell you. She's with her husband. She may not be too happy to see you.
- Ezio: No... It's wonderful. It's Carnevale! With this mask, she need not even know it's me! I know just the way to draw her attention... Grazie, amico.
Leaving his good friend, Ezio searched for Cristina, and upon finding her, Ezio slipped a note he had written into her pocket.
- Ezio: There... Now to await her at the rendezvous.
Ezio waited in a nearby alleyway for Cristina to arrive.
- Ezio: Cristina...
- Cristina: Manfredo! When did you get so romantic—
- Ezio: Sshhh...
Ezio and Cristina kissed intimately, but after a moment, Cristina became suspicious and removed his mask.
- Cristina: Ezio...? What the hell are you doing here!? How dare you—?
- Ezio: Cristina... It's alright.
- Cristina: Alright!? I haven't seen you in eight years!
- Ezio: Sì... (Yes...) I was afraid you wouldn't come if I... just asked.
- Cristina: You're right. I wouldn't have! Ezio... The last time I saw you, you kissed me in the alley— and then left me behind to get married!
- Ezio: It was the right thing to do. He loved you.
- Cristina: Who cares what he wanted? — I loved YOU. You had your second chance... Please, Ezio... Don't ever find me again.
After speaking her mind, Cristina hurriedly left.
Outcome[]
Ezio impersonated Manfredo and saw Cristina again. However, upon realizing that he was not her husband, Cristina asked him to never to find her again.
Behind the scenes[]
"Persona non grata" is Latin for "an unwelcome person".[1]
This was the only memory of Cristina that did not take place in Florence.
If Ezio accessed this memory while wearing any outfit, he would not wear a mask.
Despite taking place during Sequence 9 of Assassin's Creed II, Ezio could still gain notoriety in Venice during this memory.
Although Cristina had seen Ezio's outfit multiple times, she showed no signs of recognizing it.
