Stay tuned to find out when we will be adding more Missions to our Campaign to Norway and our Caribbean Campaign!
We have reviewed the data for our first two Campaigns and based on what we have seen, we decided to adjust the Mission difficulty in order to make Campaigns more accessible to a larger percentage of our players. The difficulty changes will be implemented for the first two Campaigns when version 3.2.0 launches.

Leonardo da Vinci, the Premier Painter!
https://i.imgur.com/By8Wdd0.png
Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 out of wedlock in the town of Vinci, just outside of Florence. Leonardo's artistic abilities were discovered quickly, and at the age of fourteen he began an apprenticeship under renowned painter Andrea del Verrocchio. In 1476, Leonardo met Ezio Auditore and the two became fast friends. Due to his studies and curiosity, Leonardo was talented in many fields including painting, anatomy, botany, and engineering. He used this knowledge to assist Ezio by repairing his hidden blades and experimenting with the creation of other devices to aid Ezio on his outings. Aside from these feats Leonardo was more well known for his accomplishments in the realm of art, creating such famous pieces as the Mona Lisa, the Vitruvian Man, and the Last Supper. Leonardo da Vinci was a curious and cheerful man, and a close friend to Ezio Auditore. His creations over the years left a large impact on the world and he was considered a necessary ally to the Assassin Brotherhood.

Teodora Contanto, the Crafty Ally!
https://i.imgur.com/Gfp0Q97.png
Teodora Contanto was born in Venice in 1450, to a family of jewelers who ran their own shop and taught her the craft from a young age. Years later, Teodora get herself in trouble with a customer and to avoid legal action, her parents sent her to the Santa Maria degli Angeli convent as punishment. In 1473, Teodora grew tired of the convent as their ways conflicted with her own personal beliefs. She left and opened La Rosa della Virtu, a bordello located in the festival center of Venice, which was largely staffed by former nuns with beliefs similar to Teodora. In 1486, Teodora met Ezio Auditore and proved to be a valuable ally to him and to the Brotherhood. She provided guidance to Ezio in his hunt to kill the Templar Doge Marco Barbarigo and later joined the Assassins where she assisted in the infiltration of the Vatican. Teodora eventually returned to Venice where she lead her courtesans and used her cunning mind and many connections to continue to assist the Brotherhood.

Bartolomeo d'Alviano was born in the town of Alviano in 1455 to Francesco d'Alviano and Isabella degli Atti. Bartolomeo later joined the Assassin Order in Venice and become a mercenary leader in the city. In 1486, Bartolomeo lost his district to Templar control and was captured. He was soon rescued by Ezio Auditore and the two fought their way back to the mercenary’s headquarters. In the years to come, Bartolomeo was directly involved in, and in some cases responsible for, many victories against the French and the Templar Order. These include the battle to acquire the Apple of Eden from Rodrigo Borgia, the battle against Pope Alexander VI, and the great battle of Agnadello. Bartolomeo was a close friend of Ezio Auditore and of the Assassin Brotherhood. He cherished combat and honor above all else, and he was an incredibly talented fighter in his time. Wielding his beloved sword Bianca, he led his mercenaries to countless victories over the years.

Grazia, the Ex Inquisitor!
https://i.imgur.com/Jgz6YIb.png
Grazia was born in 1451 in Florence to a devout family. Grazia's parents had strong ties to the Templar Order and she became inducted into the Order at a young age. She was trained in combat and worked her way up the Order to earn the title of Inquisitor. Over time, Grazia became more and more disturbed by the truths she had begun to learn about the Templars. She soon defected after an atrocious act was requested of her, and she was forced into hiding for a number of years. Seeking to atone for acts she committed as a Templar, Grazia began quiet communications with the Assassin Brotherhood and, though she was reluctant to trust them initially, she eventually joined the Brotherhood. Grazia provided useful intelligence regarding the Templar Order and was an invaluable soldier on the front lines of the Assassin-Templar War.

Tosca Yayal-Ricci, the Wandering Mercenary!
https://i.imgur.com/5PTXzKr.png
Tosca Yayal-Ricci was born in 1470 as Tosca Ricci, in a small town near Florence, Italy. Tosca was a self-taught swordsman and tinkerer who dedicated her life to developing her craft. As a young woman, she quickly made a name for herself as a mercenary due to her impressive skills and brutality in combat. In 1490, Tosca met an aspiring dancer by the name of Sofia Yayal. In awe of Sofia’s talents and beauty, she befriended Sofia and the two became inseparable. Roughly two years later, Sofia was killed after getting caught in a dispute between a Templar Lord and a young boy. Devastated by the loss of her partner, Tosca took Sofia’s namesake and began to hunt and kill every Templar she could find. Tosca was eventually found by the Brotherhood, who taught her the art of assassination and redirected her anger towards protecting the innocent. With her expertise in swordsmanship and newly acquired skills bestowed upon her by the Brotherhood, she became known as Tosca Yayal-Ricci, the wandering mercenary of Florence.

Elena Niccolini, the Talented Seamstress!
https://i.imgur.com/mjaFnYh.png
Elena Niccolini was born in Venice in 1458 to Marco and Natalia Niccolini. Elena’s father was a commanding officer in the military at the time, while her mother was a talented seamstress. Natalia died early in Elena’s life to an unknown illness, but not before teaching Elena everything she could about her craft. Elena had gained plenty of experience crafting and repairing uniforms for her father over the years. In 1476, she moved to Florence with her father, where she opened her own shop with his support. One day, Claudia Auditore da Firenze visited her shop and was immediately impressed with her work. Claudia became a regular patron of the shop, and Elena was soon recommended to other colleagues of the Brotherhood.

Leonardo da Vinci's Vibrant Palette
While we previously announced the arrival of da Vinci's new Legendary Weapon on social media, we have decided to hold off on releasing the Vibrant Palette until players are able to equip it. We have received some valuable feedback from the community about releasing Weapons for Campaign Heroes that are not yet able to equip them. We plan to release the Weapon when we release the final 5 Missions for this Campaign, when da Vinci can be promoted to Rank 5.
