Architect

An architect is an individual who plans, designs, and reviews the construction of building.
During the Italian Renaissance, architects would commonly receive a commission from citizens or Assassins, and would work with them to draft plans, before overseeing the renovations themselves.
==Monteriggioni==
===Mario Auditore===
While under the rule of Mario Auditore, the architects of Monteriggioni mostly worked on upgrading and repairing the defenses of the city, including its fortress walls and towers.Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy - Italian Wars: Chapter 3 - Mario Auditore
Additionally, in 1454, architects aided Mario in the research of a mysterious artifact that was said to have been hidden under the city. To this end, an architect went over a layout of the city's buildings with Mario, subsequently discussing the possibility of hiding places beneath each.
===Ezio Auditore===
Upon Ezio Auditore da Firenze's arrival in Monteriggioni in 1476, the city and its Villa had fallen into disrepair. An architect had been hired to oversee renovations, though Mario commonly focused more time and funding on the city's defense than on its upkeep.Assassin's Creed II
This architect based himself in the study of the Villa, looking over a scale model of the town, which was mounted on a large table. Through him, Ezio was able to make decisions on how best to upgrade the town.
All buildings, structures and guilds that were rebuilt and renovated in Monteriggioni generated income, and increased the number of visitors to the city.
==Rome==
Unlike Monteriggioni, architects could be found in abundance in Rome, and were willing to work on a variety of commissions, such as shop buildings, aqueducts, and other structures throughout the city.Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
In this regard, architects would rebuild the shops of art merchants, doctors, tailors, blacksmiths, banks and stables, as well as the entrances to the city's tunnel system, broken aqueducts and guild buildings.
Though he became known as a mysterious benefactor aiding in the renovation of Rome, Ezio only directly conversed with architects in four locations, the Tiber Island headquarters, the Rosa in Fiore, the Caserma di Alviano and La Volpe Addormentata.
Ezio also interacted with Borgia architects in charge of Leonardo da Vinci's war machines; often interrogating them on the location of the machine plans and prototypes.
