World Round[]
Should it be mentioned anywhere that he believes the world is round, long before it was commonly accepted? Also, concerning the Priory of Scion, I thought that it had Hospitaller connections, a rival sect to the Knights Templar. I could be completely wrong. AgentValentine 06:12, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- No. Please remember that this is Assassin's Creed Wiki and not Wikipedia. If those things are not mentioned or shown in the game, then don't put them on the article. - SilverSummonerTaLk 06:16, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- I was referring to information that was mentioned in the DLC. I actually screwed up what I meant--not that the world is round, but that it circles the sun, lol. As for the Priory of Scion comment, that was already mentioned on this article. I wouldn't have added it in. Thanks. AgentValentine 04:04, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
Biography[]
"In his biography, it is speculated that Leonardo is homosexual. However, at a certain points in the game he himself implies that he regularly visits the girls at La Rosa Della Virtù, the ambiguity lives on." It's mentioned, once, that he knows Teodora and thinks she's interesting. They go so far as to mention Leonardo's likely lover, Salai, who he painted countless times and often gave free reign of his money to. I don't want to step on any toes, but it seems like whoever wrote that is trying to cast Leonardo as another straight-yet-misunderstood hero. AgentValentine 21:21, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
Maybe he could be a bisexual. Honestly, the guy is a genius, I didn't care what his orientation is. And nor did Ezio. That kind of info can be removed from the article. If there's no hint of a homo from his part in the game, then he's straight. My oppinion. -- D. Cello 03:11, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
- There is hints of homo. In fact, the game states that he "was most likely homosexual and the database entry talks about his lover, Salai, who he painted over and over, left lots of money to, left his most famous paintings to, and in his life gave free reign of his bank account to. Leo was this kids sugar-daddy. AgentValentine 06:46, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
If David Wallace says, David Wallace is right... the database's never wrong XD
If his hinted as a homo, and also takes interest in girls, then he's a bi. Whatever he is, be gay or bi, can be added as a small note in the trivia section, nothing more, since it's such a minor trivia who doesn't affect the game. -- D. Cello 01:56, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
- It's Danny Wallace. And I wasn't just referring to the Database. -_- But he doesn't take interest in women at all. He knows Teodora. So what? I know girls, it doesn't make me bi. I think the trivia fact about his sexuality should be taken out all together, or the part about him taking interest in women should be removed. He never--NEVER--takes interest in women during the game. AgentValentine 02:40, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
Ah, he doesn't take interest... And outside of the game, we hae records of him being bi or gay? -- D. Cello 02:47, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
- It is widely accepted by scholars that he was homosexual, and made very few efforts to hide it. AgentValentine 04:02, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, throw it in the trivia then. -- D. Cello 05:38, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
- I would be careful what you say. There is no proof either way. While it is true that charges were brought on Sodomy twice, they were dropped both times for failure of a witness and they accusations were made anonymously. It is widely accepted falsely. There are no conclusive records of him being either bisexual or homosexual. All there is are speculations and rumors, and moreover, does it even matter? I would put more interesting trivia in, like Da Vinci never drew all the components of a machined part for security. A way to ensure his war machines schematics were not duplicated without his approval and input. Or that he could percieve and draw a bird in flight in any angle by looking from any other angle.

Screenshot[]
Could someone possibly get a screenshot from the Brotherhood sneak-peek where we can see his face? 98.192.42.30 20:28, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
- I'll put one, even if it's not very high quality. GuardDog 23:15, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Shouldn't we change the main picture above Leonardo's profile to his appearance in Brotherhood? Muzzy 14:57, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually in AC:BH, it is hinted that he is a homosexual, as sometime after his war machines are destroyed, he will say he is painting a "lovely girl" or something and Ezio reminds him not to be distracted by beautiful girls and he says he rarely is. Although it doesn't sound very homo, if you watch the cutscene, his actions and the awkward silence hint at it.Adam Sizzler 12:13, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
Game Implications[]
In one clip from Brotherhood, where Ezio and Leonardo are sitting on the bench where their liasions take place, Leonardo said he'd been working on a painting of a beautiful young women. Ezio responds about not letting the girl take priority over the inventions, to which Leonardo said that "women won't distract (him) much" and placed his hand on Ezio's back. Ezio was confused, saying "wait...what?" "Nothing..." and Leonardo sat back and there was an awkward pause. This gives a clear implication that Leonardo is not even bi, just homosexual(for Ezio even).
- Yes, this is already mentioned in the trivia. Please remember to sign your posts. =GuardDog 13:57, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
Battle of Anghiari[]
I found some news on the 'discovery' of Leonardos painting "The Battle of Anghiari". There's a link below.

- Wow! will a new P.O.E. be found?

AC: B Campagna District[]
I looked at the Campagna district page, and it said that leo could be found in this district after beating all the war machines and something else. Is this true? Dinosaurfan1, expert on many games. 23:54, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
I had a question on Leonardo da Vinci. A couple days ago I read the page on Leo an was a bit confused on the The Pythagorean Temple ans Apple from Cyprus section. I dont remember in the game when Leonardo saw symboles from the Apple of Eden and when he and Ezio where in one of the vaults. Was this part in AC2 Brotherhood? If so was it a DLC that was released holding this information?Slvdrn3 18:13, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
- It's in the Battle of Forli DLC mate. Ezio takes the Apple to Leonardo and Machiavilli and taking it from Rodrigo.--OdranoellutaTalk✲
19:40, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
I have a question on what DLC did Ezio and Machiavelli vist Leonardo at his house in Amboise, when Leo was getting close to his death? And, what DLC do we find out that Caterina Sofrza died form pneumonia when she returned to Florence after she made a petition do regain control of Forlì? Where did all of this information come from?Slvdrn3 06:52, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
That's in the ACR novel I think. And Caterina's death is mentioned by Shaun in the Sanctuary. IlMualim 06:55, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
Trivia[]
There says that Leonardo was historically left-handed. But historically, he was ambidextrous (he could write and draw with both hands). He could even draw and write at the same time.
please remember to sign your posts. most likely he had cross-dominance, he wrote mostly left-handed and in mirror writing yet probably also used his right for other things. Ægritudo Talk 16:01, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
Hermeticists[]
Was Leonardo really himself a Hermeticist or just used by them?--OdranoellutaTalk✲ 09:57, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
Leonardo a descendant of TWCB?[]
Was Leonardo a descendant of TWCB? When ezio activated the apple, and Leonardo, Mario, and Machiavelli were all standing there, Leonardo was the only one not to respond in pain. Even Ezio flinched, while Leonardo seems simply fascinated with the object.

Could be possible, in the book Leonardo noticed the map beneath the Codex as well, pointing to the possibilty of Eagle Vision. -- IlMualim Wanna Chat? 15:55, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
I think he had a more than usual amount of TWCB blood, which granted immunity to the POE. Not enough for Eagle Vision, tho. Otherwise he probably would have said it. Why so serious? (talk) 15:58, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Mario and Ezio both had First Civilization DNA and they were affected. Leonardo wasn't able to make the Apple work properly when he was forced to study it by Rodrigo, and he wasn't able to open use the Pythagorean Vault by himself. -- Master Sima Yi Talk 16:00, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
- I get your point about Leo, but where is it said that Mario had TWCB DNA? -- IlMualim Wanna Chat? 16:02, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
- It's a possibility but not surety. Where's the guarantee that the TWCB DNA is not from his mom's side? -- IlMualim Wanna Chat? 16:41, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Leonardo pretended that he was completely stumped by it. The Leaping Eagle (talk) 17:03, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
- If they are the same family, does not mean they must share the same DNA. He could be special with his mother side. Just like Desmond and William. Why so serious? (talk) 17:10, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
- wasnt mario able to see the map once all the codex pages were assembled, that would sugest it was from that side of the family.
ÆgritudoTalk 17:24, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Nope, only Ezio saw it, Mario and the others looked at him like some sort of alien until he told them it was below Rome. Leo saw it in the book I guess. -- IlMualim Wanna Chat? 14:23, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
Neglected fact[]
I suppose this is really insignificant, but the developers missed something that would throw Leonardo's ability to decipher the pages of Altair's codex out the window - he suffered dyslexia.
- Clearly, he is not. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 09:31, December 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Being dyslexic doesn't mean you can't read and/or translate. It just takes longer. -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 10:17, December 31, 2013 (UTC)
Categories[]
Could someone add him to the "Artists" category?--188.180.174.234 16:33, February 19, 2014 (UTC)
- Leo's already in the Painters, Sculptors and Poets categories, all of which are in the Artists category. Stormbeast ♉ The Helpful Place 16:36, February 19, 2014 (UTC)
Official Assassin[]
We have him listed as an ally of the Assassins rather than official one. Are we sure he never became an official Assassin, even if not the field agent kind? (In the manner more akin to Shaun and Rebecca, like support). Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 21:03, January 25, 2017 (UTC)
AC Cinders?[]
in Cinders its shown that leonardo faked his death, should we count that as canon?BearticWiki (talk) 13:14, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- Cinders isn't canon. Just a retellingFrancesco75 (talk) 13:22, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
