Doctor (Piagnone)

A doctor (died 1497) served as one of Girolamo Savonarola's nine lieutenants, men that were given power to aid Savonarola in his rule of Florence during the Bonfire of the Vanities. Like many others, he was controlled by the Savonarola's use of the Apple of Eden.
==Biography==
===Rise to power===
Soon after taking control of Florence, Savonarola assigned nine men as his lieutenants. It was their job to ensure the citizens of Florence would obey Savonarola. The doctor did this by only treating the citizens that were loyal to Savonarola, thus forcing those that needed medical treatment to obey Savonarola.Assassin's Creed II – Bonfire of the Vanities – Surgical Strike
===Death===
The Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze found the doctor standing before a large crowd at the Ospedale degli Innocenti, protected by a line of guards. The doctor offered free medical care, on the sole condition that the patients first pledged their loyalty to Savonarola. While he gave a speech, Ezio bypassed the guards and assassinated the doctor. In his dying moments, the doctor accused Ezio of having "spilled the blood of a healer". Upon Ezio's retort that he was a tyrant, the doctor realized that he had grown intoxicated with power.
