[What? you think Cesare gets all the fun and dealing with trauma? Balls no.

Which is to say it's night and three completely sane assassins are sleeping.]

I told you, it's nothing of any import. I am not accusing you of lying to me. I have a lot on my mind right now and you were being insufferable again--still will be if you do not let this go.

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh I'm terribly sorry that your mistrust about me is making me am little irate, it's not at all like I just trusted you with information that could hurt the brotherhood. Isn't it wonderful that you can just tell me that I'm being a right pain, but I mention it and you go off to sulk like that showtime version of you.

[maleborgia]

You mocked me for wanting to know more about my own demise.

[sharpasafawkes]

...

Not yours, his. You're already better than him.

[maleborgia]

No, we are not the same.

...Why are you worried about becoming him?

[maleborgia]

Ultimately he failed, didn't he? In all senses of the word.

[sharpasafawkes]

... Yeah, he did, abused his sister, killed innocents, took power away from the people and made them miserable, led to an even more fractured Italy, ruined his family's name and provoked a war, murdered two members of his family, and possibly, just possibly drove one into the Assassins, but the details about that aren't all that clear in the first place.

[maleborgia]

How much more can you tell me now that you did not know before?

[sharpasafawkes]

Quite a bit, apparently I did some more research when I got back, and not only did he have that band of lackeys, but something interesting happened with his "son".

[maleborgia]

*not stopping, but certainly slowing down a bit*

What do you mean?

[sharpasafawkes]

Everything's cloudy until well after he's in, but it seems the Infans Romanus decided to go over to the other side. Apparently he developed a specialization, but that's been lost as well. However, from all reports I could dig up, he wasn't half bad at his job.

[maleborgia]

*considering this...*

I see. Have you ever seen him?

[sharpasafawkes]

No, never, at least not in the memories we've gone over.

[maleborgia]

Tell me more. Everything you can.

[sharpasafawkes]

That's just about all I've got. I know he went to Spain and then headed off somewhere, but what he found's an utter mystery to me. Moreover there's the occasional mention that he was working on something, but as far as I know nothing ever came of it, at some point he just... disappears off the record.

[maleborgia]

Then the rest of it. Anything.

[sharpasafawkes]

Okay then, here's the thing, he didn't hide his name, at least later on. People knew he was a Borgia, but as far as I can tell, nobody took action against him, not even Lucrezia.

[maleborgia]

How old was he when he left?

[sharpasafawkes]

I don't know, but if he was able to use his full name, that means he wasn't held accountable for his family's actions, that really only says one age to me.

[maleborgia]

Of course. I'm distracted.

Do you know anything new about Lucrezia? Or anyone else?

[sharpasafawkes]

No, nothing else at all, as far as I know she lives out her life like in the history books.

[maleborgia]

And Miguel? What of him after he was captured?

[sharpasafawkes]

... Nothing, he disappears too. The last anyone hears about him is when Cesare said he sent him off to fetch an army.
