Pardo D'Alesio (1459 - 1503) was a captain of the Papal States who oversaw the construction of a prototype tank by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Biography[]
Pardo D'Alesio was an officer of Papal States Captain-General Cesare Borgia, and was made a Templar Order Overseer. He defended the location of the tank that was constructed by Leonardo Da Vinci for use in Cesare's campaigns in Romagna and Tuscany during the Italian Wars, so in 1503 Ezio Auditore da Firenze set out to assassinate him.
Death[]
Ezio found D'Alesio walking to the Spanish Steps with a few men, so he stabbed him with his poison blades in the chest. D'Alesio went mad, hacking around with his sword and slaying an innocent atop his horse. Ezio killed the bodyguards, and watched as D'Alesio's insanity melted down as he died.
