* {{Badass}}: One of the more capable combatants in the series.
** BadassBookworm: Not quite up to Leonardo's level, but he's one of the few who comes close. He's able to calculate the rate of fire of Leonardo's pipe-organ muskets after watching a single demonstration.
** BadassInANiceSuit: Riario is the Renaissance equivalent.
** CulturedBadass: He projects this aura.
** HeartBrokenBadass: After Zita dies.

* CulturedBadass: He projects this aura.



* HeartBrokenBadass: After Zita dies.



* {{Badass}}: Is able to both verbally and physically handle herself.



* {{Badass}}: He's more than a match for Leonardo in combat, [[spoiler: only being defeated when da Vinci exploits his lack of depth perception.]]



* {{Badass}}: He admits he's not as skilled of a swordsman as Leonardo, but he can definitely hold his own in a fight and take a hell of a beating.

** Well, as Vlad the Impaler lived from 1431 to 1477 it's not fully surprising to see him in that period - even if he died before the even beginning of the series.

Half Breed is a racial slur and was renamed Mixed Ancestry, corrected this


* AmbiguouslyBrown: His exact race is unknown, as he's very dark for an Italian. He's implied to be a HalfBreed, of some sort, and fans usually assume that he is of Arab decent. Or perhaps Persian since Zoroaster is the name of a famous Persian religious figure.
