Florence, Republic of Florence
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (1469 – 1527) was an Italian philosopher, humanist and writer, and a Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins. Considered one of the main founders of modern political science, he was a diplomat, political philosopher, musician, and playwright, but foremost, he was a civil servant of the Florentine Republic.
With the Assassin Order, Niccolò primarily worked with his ally Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and helped him with driving the Orsibrothers from Forlì and removing the monk Girolamo Savonarola from power in Florence to obtain the Apple of Eden, an ancient Isuartifact, from him.
Two years later, Machiavelli took up the position of leader of the Italian Assassins, after the death of the previous leader Mario Auditore. Once again joined by Ezio, they fought against the corrupted Borgia family, which ruled over Rome. Eventually successful in their goal, Machiavelli joined Ezio and Leonardo da Vinci in chasing Cesare Borgia in Valencia, Spain.

Toward the end Machiavelli informs Ezio (right before he says that he's going to write a book about him) that it was he who brought Ezio to Roma after he passed out on the horse, it was he who created the explosion at the Castelo after Ezio escaped with Caterina, and it was he who sent mercenaries to the Coloseo (I guess during the Jesus play? I don't remember mysterious mercenaries ever coming to my rescue).
Why is Machiavelli being so mysterious about helping Ezio? Why wouldn't he just say "Yeah Ezio, I really helped you out back there" right away instead of waiting until the end of the game. Is he testing Ezio's ability, or his loyalty? Why did he pretend to think that Ezio was dead when he first got to Roma when he in fact is the one who brought him there? I wish this was better explained.

He's a closet-paragon. He likes to help people, but he doesn't want others to know that he helped them. It's like Da Vinci and his homosexuality....but...I think the history-books say he's open about his gayness? I'm not sure because even though the game says that there's proof of Leonardo being gay, it doesn't say he was open about it.
Sorry, off-topic. Bottom-line, Machiavelli is a closet-paragon. Your pocket-
