Carlini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlini is a fictional character in the computer game Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. He only appears in the single-player campaign.

[edit] Background

The famed General of Miana has loyally served in the army for over 43 years and in two separate wars. As living proof of this ordeal, his right leg has been blown off and thus has been using a prosthetic one ever since. As Giacomo's military advisor, Carlini's advice has been an immense help to the new lord of Miana after the recent death of his elder sibling - Petruzzo. Also, being older than Giacomo, Carlini is somewhat of a kindly father/older brother figure to his lord, especially after Petruzzo's death. He's also noted for his courage and dry wit.

Near the beginning of the last campaign, Carlini is killed by the Cuotl "God" of Death, Czin. His death, along with the destruction of Miana by the Doge (seen by Giacomo to be an agent of the Cuotl gods) led Giacomo to seek vengeance against the mysterious aliens.

[edit] Abilities

In battle, Carlini is usually seen riding on horseback, and using his customized rifle to pick off enemy soldiers. His Snipe abilities hark back to the Commando, Special Forces and Elite Special Forces units from the original Rise of Nations. Aside from that, Carlini can also summon a gun emplacement and become temporarily invincible for a short period. Passively, his Scope increases his overall health and speed, and he increases the health of all friendly Imperial units and heroes present in battle.
