The Deacon, Part 1

The Deacon, Part 1 was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
==Description==
Ezio Auditore met with his apprentice in the North Bayezid Den who informed him of a plot to kill Pachomius, the Patriarch of Constantinople. Following this, they began an investigation to find the one responsible, and discovered their target to be Cyril of Rhodes, a rogue deacon who had been banished for a few years.
==Dialogue==
Ezio met his apprentice at the Assassin Den.
*Apprentice: Mentor, I have heard some troubling rumors.
*Ezio: Tell me.
*Apprentice: We have reason to believe a rogue Orthodox Deacon is planning to murder the Patriarch of Konstantiniyye.
*Ezio: Do we know who this Deacon is?
*Apprentice: Not yet. Clues have been sparse.
*Ezio: We need a name first. It would not serve our cause to eliminate every holy man between Bursa and . Vieni (Come), and we will ask around to see what we can learn.
Ezio and his apprentice set off to gain information.
*Apprentice: What is our plan, Mentor?
*Ezio: The Orthodox millet in the city is too small to hide big secrets. We will ask the clergy some questions, and if necessary, make them answer.
Ezio walked up to a clergy official.
*Ezio: There are rumors that the Patriarch is in danger from a rogue Deacon. Does that stir any ideas?
*Official: Ah yes. We have heard those rumors too. And the name behind them is always Cyril of Rhodes. The Patriarch cast him out some years ago for gross misdeeds. He is banished. . If you see him in the city, you can be sure he intends to do harm.
*Apprentice: What did you learn?
*Ezio: Our target is Cyril of Rhodes. A banished Deacon.
Ezio and his apprentice made their way to a courtyard.
*Ezio: Hold fast. There are a number of holy men here.
*Apprentice: I know what to do, Mentor. And if I see an opportunity to eliminate him, I will take it.
Ezio used his Eagle Sense to find his target.
*Apprentice: I have him, Mentor.
*Ezio: Stop! That is not our target!
Too late; the Apprentice killed an innocent deacon while Cyril of Rhodes managed to escape.
*Ezio: Brash fool! You killed an innocent man!
*Apprentice: I have no excuse, Mentor. Forgive me.
*Ezio: Even if I do, many others will not.
*Apprentice: Nor should they.
*Ezio: Take up his body and bring him to the shore. This is your burden to bear.
Ezio and his apprentice brought the body to the shore.
*Ezio: Commit this poor man to the sea, then meditate on your mistake.
*Apprentice: Evet (Yes), Mentor. May the shame I feel never fade.
==Outcome==
An innocent man was killed by Ezio's apprentice, and Cyril of Rhodes managed to escape with his life.
