Carlo Cazali

Carlo Cazali was a small time crook for hire and close friend of Machiavelli.

Biography
Originally from Pisa, Carlo spent a lot of his youth growing up in the gutters along side Machiavelli.

Years later, He came to Florence when working for Pozzo, Pisa's most wanted criminal. He claimed he was instructed to steal the Lightning Box, which was in the possession of Piero de Medici. His first attempt to gain entry to the palace, ended in him being shot in the leg by an arrow. After this, he went to his long time friend, Mac, to ask for help. With help from Leonardo, Mac stole the Lightning Box and replaced it with a replica, Leonardo is desperate to see how it works. After dismantling it, then putting it back together again, Leonardo hands it over to Mac, who delivers it to Carlo. Carlo reveals he is not working for Pozzo, he is in fact planning to sell the Lightning Box for himself. Desperate to right his mistake, Mac drugs Carlo, sending him to sleep, allowing him to return the box to Leo. Realising he's been tricked, Carlo leaves, but not before smugly warning Mac about the guillotine. (The Lightning Box)

Personality
Carlo was a streetwise, savvy and witty, especially when it came to reading people. His adept knowledge on how to get by taught Machiavelli everything he knew. Because of that, the two closest the other had to family. However, Carlo was also greedy and manipulated Mac by playing on his sensitive streak to ensure he got the Lightning Box. However, as Mac pointed out, his weakness was his vanity and he always responded to flattery.
