'''Petruccio Auditore da Firenze''' (1463 - 1476) was the youngest brother of [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] and [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia Auditore]]; the son of [[Maria Auditore]] and [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze]], an [[Assassin]], Petruccio was destined to be trained in is father's ways upon coming of age. He was executed in 1476 as an accomplice to his father's "treason".

==Biography==
===Pre-1476===
Petruccio Auditore was a young [[Florence|Florentine]] nobleman living during the late 15<sup>th</sup> Century. His father, [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze]] was a banker, but also in secret, an [[Assassin]], who would surreptitiously prepare Petruccio and his brothers for their future as Assassins. However, Petruccio was constantly ill, and was bed-ridden for most of his life.

===Death and legacy===

In 1476, Petruccio asked his brother, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]], to retrieve some [[Feather|feathers]] for him, the reason for which he kept a secret. Ezio agreed, but informed his younger brother he must return to bed afterwards. The next day, Petruccio was arrested alongside his father and brother on a trumped-up charge of treason against the ruling [[House of Medici|Medici]] family; he was [[Auditore Execution|executed]] the day after.

Following the escape of Ezio, his [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|mother]] and sister to [[Monteriggioni]], Ezio begun his quest of vengeance against the [[Knights Templar]]. Throughout the course of his journey, Ezio collected a large number of feathers in memory of Petruccio, which were strewn across northern Italy, and deposited them inside a chest in the [[Villa Auditore]]. After collecting fifty feathers, Ezio was given a large war hammer by his uncle, and after collecting fifty more, Ezio received a [[Outfits|cape]] embossed with the Auditore crest from his mother, who thanked him for not giving up on her. This was the first time she had spoken since the execution.

During their confrontation in [[Venice]], [[Rodrigo Borgia]] mentioned to Ezio that Pertruccio and Federico's deaths were not needed; he had just wanted to prove a point.

==Trivia==
*If Petruccio's profile at the Database is read, it states that he may have died from his "illness," although it is later revealed in the mission "Last Man Standing" that he was executed.
*Ezio's only interaction with him in the game is when Petruccio asks him to collect his feathers. After that, he is only seen during "Last Man Standing," but you never talk to him again.
*Petruccio never came to know that his father was an Assassin.
*Interestingly, when you look up [[Uberto Alberti|Uberto Alberti's]] database video, you find Petruccio hanging in the left-hand side wearing different clothes.
*Throughout the entire game, it was never hinted why Petruccio actually needed the feathers.
*Besides [[Caterina Sforza|Caterina Sforza's]] children in the [[Battle of Forli]] [[DLC]] , Petruccio is the only non-adult to feature in an Assassin's Creed game (apart from the brief memory of Ezio as a baby). The main reason for this is [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft's]] policy of not including children as part of the crowd, in order to prevent foul-minded players from killing them.
