## Profile

### Biography

Vieri de' Pazzi was born into the House of Pazzi, a once prominent family of bankers that held much influence with the Roman Empire up until their execution due being charge with treason and conspiracy. All perished except one, Viola de' Pazzi, the sole survivor, fled to Nifleheim and settle in the Village of Aincrad where the bloodline lived on and eventually regaining their status as nobles.

#### Living in Aincrad

Vieri was born as the only child of Francesco de' Pazzi and grandson of Jacopo de' Pazzi. At a young age, Vieri was taught the history of his family heritage, gaining sense of pride of what the Pazzi once was. He came to loath the Auditore and Medici family who were responsible for his family's downfall and swore revenges for his ancestors. He was taught to hate the lower class, to seeing them as no more than a spec of dirt, he began to treat his servants on other cruelly, becoming the catalyst for his psychotic tendencies. Being the son of a banker, Vieri as taught the family business at a young age and was taught by several tutors in other fields to succeed as a noble.

At the age of seven, He fought his cousin Sigurd de' Pazzi for the position as next head of the Pazzi as per tradition but ended in his defeat.

several months later, Vieri would come to learn that the orphanage took in a lost child with the surname Auditore, sparking the long rivalry filled with animosity between the two. Vieri made several attempts to kill Atreus and all ended in failure and in the end, the head of the Pazzi intervening, forbade Vieri from disgracing the family any further as it was starting to arouse suspicion from the villagers.

One evening in 1476, Vieri ambushed a love-interest, Cristina Vespucci, at her home within Florence. Upon noticing Vieri at her abode, Cristina wearily notified Vieri that she was not interested in him, though Vieri protested, telling Cristina he had grown tired of waiting to have sexual intercourse with her.

Before Vieri was able to sexually assault Cristina, however, Ezio Auditore emerged. Ezio had been following Cristina, and decided to confront Vieri. After a brief argument, the two brawled, and Ezio proved victorious. Fleeing, Vieri threatened Ezio, claiming his entire family would suffer for Ezio's interference. This incident led Vieri to resent the Auditore even more than he had already done.

Sometime later that same year, 1476, Vieri's father Francesco was arrested on evidence obtained by Giovanni Auditore. This led the animosity between the two rivaling families to grow, eventually culminating in a street brawl on the Ponte Vecchio.

Vieri and Ezio both arrived at the brawl with their supporters alongside them. While Ezio brawled with the Pazzi supporters, Vieri merely observed from the other side of the bridge. Soon Ezio's brother Federico, arrived, and assisted Ezio as he beat up the Pazzi supporters. Ultimately recognizing his defeat, Vieri retreated from the bridge with his few remaining men.

Sometime in January of 1477, Vieri confronted Ezio in the Tuscan countryside near Monteriggioni. Ezio was attempting to escape Florence with his sister and mother, seeking sanctuary in Monteriggioni where Ezio's uncle, Mario Auditore, owned a villa.

Vieri ordered his men to kill the Auditore family members, though Ezio was narrowly able to fend off the guards. Before Vieri's men were able to attack Ezio again, however, Ezio's uncle arrived with his mercenaries. Fighting alongside Mario's men, Ezio helped drive Vieri from the countryside.

Following the fiasco near Monteriggioni, Vieri and his men attacked Monteriggioni repeatedly for over eighteen months. Eventually, in April of 1478, Ezio met with his uncle and his mercenaries near San Gimignano. There, Mario informed Ezio of the plot to slay Vieri and terminate his control over the city.

Time Skip.
later that same evening in April of 1478, Vieri, Francesco, and Jacopo met with Templar Grand Master Rodrigo Borgia. The Templars gathered to discuss their plans to overthrow the Medici and gain control of Florence. During the meeting, each conspirator was assigned a task for the plot, and Vieri was to remain in San Gimignano to coordinate the mercenaries.

After receiving his duty for the plot, Vieri vocalized his concerns regarding Mario, though Rodrigo told him they would deal with the Auditore later. Having concluded their discussion, Vieri ended the meeting by uttering the Templar pledge alongside his fellow Templars. Francesco, Jacopo, and Rodrigo then departed from the city, though Vieri stayed behind. He and his men were soon ambushed by Mario leading a group of mercenaries. Observing the charging enemies, Vieri quickly made his way onto the city battlements.

While the battle raged on below, Ezio, who had been covertly watching the entire meeting, made his way onto the battlements. He briskly dealt with Vieri's men, and entered a duel with Vieri himself. The two fought fiercely, though Ezio overpowered Vieri and impaled him using his Hidden Blade. As Vieri was dying from his wound, Ezio grabbed his shirt and tried to wrest some answers from him, demanding to know what the conspiration was planning and whether or not the reason his father was killed was because he had discovered their plans. Vieri, however, spent his last breaths insulting Ezio, mocking him for expecting some kind of deathbed confession, before he finally expired.

Enraged, Ezio starting violently shaking Vieri's corpse and shouting curses at it, telling him that he had received the fate he deserved and wishing he had suffered more. Ezio's uncle, Mario, appeared and chastised Ezio for hurling abuse at his now dead enemy. Ezio spat back that Vieri would not have shown them such courtesy had he been in their situation, but Mario reminded him that nonetheless, he was not Vieri and should not stoop to his level, before giving Vieri his last rites.

In 1511, many decades after Vieri's death, an elderly Ezio disguised himself as a minstrel and sang about his childhood nemesis while attending a banquet in Constantinople held in honor of Prince Suleiman I, who had just returned from his hajj to Mecca.

### Personality

#### Childhood

He seeks your approval. Your attention. These outbursts of his are a result of insecurities borne out of a sense of inadequacy. He speaks of you often and fondly and expresses a desire to be closer to you. So if he is loud and foul and angry - I believe it is simply because he wants to be noticed. He wants to be loved.

Vieri was a man who would do anything to get what he desired. However, he was also a coward, and would flee when his plans failed or when confronted in combat. He challenged Ezio on various occasions, yet would nearly always flee when actually confronted.

He was also known for conducting races which he would tamper with in order to come out victorious. Although if his competitors were able to win somehow, Vieri would invite their entire families over, and then serve them a poisoned meal. His desire for success in competition and glory endured throughout his entire life.

As briefly hinted at during Vieri's fight with Ezio in 1476, and made manifest in a letter from the priest Giovanni Giocondo to Vieri's father, Vieri behaved in this way merely because he sought attention and approval from his father. Vieri wished for Francesco to recognize his abilities and devotion to the Templars. Giocondo also observed that Vieri simply wanted to be loved, mentioning that the boy spoke often and fondly of his father, as well as expressing a desire to be closer to him.
