Judge

The Judge is a legal authority who oversaw the trial of Andrea del Verrocchio when he was wrongfully accused of murdering Antonio Costa.

Biography
During the trial, following a false statement given by the Witness, the Judge sentenced Verrocchio to be hanged until dead. The following day, the Judge questioned whether Leonardo da Vinci should also be hanged for trying to help Verrocchio escape. Signor da Vinci tried to persuade him to show lenience. However, just before the execution could take place, Piero de' Medici arrived with a signed confession from the Witness, who had taken his own life for the guilt of lying about what he saw. The Judge then called off the execution and told Verrocchio he was free to go.

Personality
The Judge appeared to be a fair man but also a stern enforcer of justice.
