Ludovico Orsi



Ludovico Orsi is one of the two primary antagonists of the Assassin's Creed II DLC "Battle of Forli". He, along with his brother Checco Orsi, originally loan sharks and hitmen for hire, are the ones responsible for the Templar invasion of Forli.

Biography
The brothers were once hired by Caterina Sforza to kill her own husband Girolamo Riario, after finding out that he was a Templar. Riario, who was already in debt to the Orsi brothers, was stabbed to death by them during a meal. Later, Rodrigo Borgia hired them to kill Caterina and obtain the map of remaining Codex pages by Girolamo Riario and the Apple of Eden, an artifact stolen from him by Ezio Auditore in Venice. The Orsi brothers agreed, and laid siege to the city of Forlì. In the progress, they captured two of Caterina's children, Ottaviano and Bianca. Checco left Ludovico responsible for guarding Ottaviano, who he held captive on top of a lighthouse. After having rescued Bianca, Ezio climbed the lighthouse, killed Ludovico, and released the boy.
