The Catholic Churches Assassin | Micheletto Corella ( A real character from Assassin Creed Micheletto Corella)

 Once again, we will be taking you to 15th and 16th century Rome. This was a type of betrayal scheme and killers only the most ruthless and most cunning of men would rise to the top, and even the most pious of men were in danger of being corrupted by the power that they may wield. Micheletto Corella would be their instrument, and this is his story. Virtually nothing is known about his entire and childhood is shrouded in mystery, and some sources say he was 1417 in Spain. The first record of his is where he is said to have attended the University of Pisa, where he met Cesare Borgia who would soon become his best friend and employer. Soon  Micheletto Corella's best friend Cesare would become a cardinal due to the influence of his Pope Father Alexander the sixth, Micheletto Corella would enter the service of not just Cesare, but his father as well. Due to the nature of the Borgias, and the holdover of the papacy, they no doubt,   put Micheletto to work his best friend Cesare, was a stone-cold killer, and we can assume that because Micheletto was as well. Due to their long-lasting friendship, Micheletto and the Borgias tended to stay in the shadows regarding their affairs, so we can only speculate that he was involved in nefarious activities due to his close ties with the Borgia family  Micheletto and Cesari, we're still both young men was Casera was Cardinal. And in 1490  casera's brother Giovanni was assassinated, under mysterious circumstances.  Could Micheletto and Corella have plotted and then killed  Giovanni for Casera's and by extension and Micheletto's personal gain? Micheletto would have engaged in unknown and mysterious activities that certainly wouldn't have been documented as The Borgias would mainly work in the shadows Casera's would stay up all night, receiving and dispatching messages, and no doubt some messages were instructions or news from  Micheletto regarding how his assassinations or other jobs had gone however Micheletto managed to rise from a lowly assassin of the church to one of the lieutenants and Cesare Borgia's army on the 23rd of December 1499  Micheletto would invade for the name of the Catholic church, the pope, Fondly was a city in northern Italy  Micheletto would stay there recharger the city to restore order and make sure the city stays under the walls of the church.  Micheletto wouldn't stay under the radar for long. On the night of the 18th of August 1500, he and other armed men stormed into the room of Alfonso of Aragon. After killing his guards  Micheletto would wrap his hands around Alfonso's neck and then strangled him to death. Under the order of Casera .Micheletto s first documented political assassination was the murder of our brother-in-law. Casera himself   Casera would soon become the lord of bambino, which is an Italian town in the province of Tuscany.  He would soon elevate his loyal friend Micheletto to become his governor, but soon after his elevation  Casera would dispatch him to the Passaro city in the region of Marche while Micheletto was on his way to Pissarro however news would reach him about a rebellion, taking place in the town of fosobron. No doubt due to the residents opposing the role of Cesare Borgia. And his father, Alexander. Micheletto under orders from Cesare would ride to town with his army. He would then go on to sack a town mercilessly. Without warning, killing men and women, and children. It is recorded that he showed no remorse for the dead or wounded.  Micheletto would soon be summoned to Cesari side once, and the tasks he was asked off was one he was used to that is murder  night, on December 31, 1502

 

 2 Italian lords, had been arrested by Cesare. This was due to mutual distrust, or  Cesare make the first move it is said that Cesare gave Micheletto the nod and he one by one strangled the two lords to death,  Micheletto was a trusted confidant of both the pope and his son. He was known to the people as an assassin, to that extent, they will write in 1502  

Micheletto and Casera were at the height of their power. Micheletto had climbed the ranks from the enforcer of the Borgia family.  He had become a luteintent and a governer and had grown rich However Everything would change after the death of Pope Alexander. On the 18th of August, 1503   Pope Alexander the sixth would die at the age of 72 in Rome.

At the time of Popes death Casera had Malaria and was too ill to do anything 

  So he entrusted his right-hand man. Personal killer  Micheletto travel to Rome and seize the Pope's treasures before his death was publicly announced

 Even if Micheletto had taken many treasures from the Pope. Upon his death, the Borgias and  Micheletto's position. Were in a turbulent state, as they no longer had a leader in the series position of power. This would be reflected, due to the circumstances that happened after the  Pope's death November 1503,  Micheletto went north with several 100 horsemen, to support  Casera's army, but the group was defeated in Tuscany, by the army of  Paolo Baglioni.  Micheletto was then taken, prisoner. Due to his high ranking position and reputation. He was imprisoned in Florence, and then Rome a city which himself in the Borgias once controlled in Rome. He was tortured and questioned repeatedly asked the secrets of the Borgias. It is documented that he refused to reveal the many secrets he knew about. After years of imprisonment and torture. He was liberated by Pope Julius the second 1505 Once he was a free man. He was hired as a keeper of that piece in Florence, as his skill set was still valuable. He would later move to Mulan in 1507, and live there for some time until 1508  Where he was murdered under mysterious circumstances Micheletto Corella was the personal assassin of his friend Casera in his life, he would rise up to becoming lieutenant governor, whilst he held those positions of grand importance, he would still carry out political assassinations in the shadows, or in the open

 

Casera Borgia 

He was a man of action that might have thought he was serving the church through his deeds. The current state of the Catholic church at the time and the  Borgias in charges would lead him down a path of murder. Ultimately, ruin and death. The Italian, English novelist and historian Rafael Sabittini described Micheletto Corella as follows Corella was a captain of the foot a soldier of fortune who from the earliest days  of Casera's military carrier had followed the duke's fortune his fidelity for Casera, and the manner in which he would execute his master's order has earned a considerable hate
