Scarpa was an assassin who was employed by Piero de' Medici to kill the Duke of Florence.

Biography[]

Scarpa is hired by Piero de Medici to kill the Duke. Although he fires his arrow accurately, he only seriously injures the Duke thanks to the Duke's breastplate. As a result, Piero has to poison the Duke with Cyanide. (Diabolical Acts, Dragon Hunt)

Scarpa is informed by Placidi that, because he failed to the Duke, Piero will not pay him. Intent on getting his money, Scarpa infiltrates the Medici Palace and recovers the Duke's handkerchief which has Cyanide on it. After blackmailing Piero, he leaves. Piero orders Placidi to kill him but, thinking better of it, has Placidi tell him that he will pay him double if he carries out one last job.

Although Scarpa follows Piero's orders, murdering Doctor Petangeli, he is fatally stabbed by Placidi who reclaims the handkerchief from. Before he dies, Scarpa warns Placidi of how Piero won't think twice about killing him too when it comes to it.

Although Placidi makes no reply, he takes heed of his words and keeps hold of the handkerchief... (The Mask of Death)

Personality[]

Scarpa was a cruel and sadistic man who thought he was a man of honour despite being a ruthless assassin. He was driven by money and did not take well to being double crossed. He was also somewhat brave and one of few individuals who could intimidate the powerful Piero de' Medici.
