Serial Offender was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus 2.01.
Description[]
The Assassin Ezio Auditore came across a trail of blood, which lead him to the body of a deceased girl propped against a wall, along with a girl crying and mourning over her body. The grieving courtesan told Ezio that her friend, Mina, had been murdered by a man named Malfatto. With the help of the local courtesans, Ezio tracked down the killer and ordered one of his apprentices to assassinate him.
Dialogue[]
Ezio followed a trail of blood to two courtesans, one of them deceased.
- Ezio: Who did this?
- Courtesan: That monster, Malfatto!
- Ezio: Did you see him?
- Courtesan: That way!
The courtesan pointed to Ezio's right, directing him towards the path that Malfatto had fled to, before turning back to her lifeless friend.
- Courtesan: Oh, Mina. I told you not to come out here...
Ezio followed the signals that the courtesans of the district gave him, finally locating Malfatto.
- Ezio: Animale! (Animal!)
Ezio ordered one of his apprentices to assassinate Malfatto. Following this, Ezio gave the murderer his last rites.
- Ezio: Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace).
Out of habit, Ezio reached down to close Malfatto's eyes, only to realize his face was covered by a mask. Knowing this, the Assassin lifted his hand away.
Outcome[]
Following the directions of several courtesans throughout the streets, Ezio managed to catch up with Malfatto, and subsequently directed one of his apprentices to assassinate him.
Trivia[]
- Even if the apprentices were used to assassinate Malfatto, the proceeding cutscene would still show only Ezio in the memory corridor.
- If Ezio skipped the final courtesan checkpoint, he could walk up to Malfatto and kill him with the Hidden Blade, still achieving full synchronization.
- It is possible that Malfatto will not spawn when he is supposed to, forcing the player to either wait or restart the memory.
