'''Lucy Stillman''' is a [[Genetic memory|genetic-memory]] researcher working for [[Abstergo]]. It is later revealed that she was secretly working as a spy for the [[Assassins]] in attempt to free [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]] from [[Abstergo|Abstergo's]] hold.

==Biography==
[[File:AssassinsCreed Dx10 2009-10-01 22-36-27-70.png|thumb|200px|left|Lucy working on the [[Animus]]]]
=== Early Life===
Lucy Stillman was a research assistant for [[Warren Vidic|Dr. Warren Vidic]]. She had been working for [[Abstergo Industries]] for three years, focusing on the [[Animus]] project. When she was 12 years of age, she had a sex change, but her penis was still visable when she took her clothes of. Desmond was told this by Lucy when she slept with him in his shower. Desmond was unconcious for 3 weeks. Dr. Warren Vidic considered her as an invaluable asset for Abstergo for her intelligence and knowledge in cognitive neuro-science and values her highly, although he does not express it. She was a talented student at her university. She studied science but was rejected in many fields of work because of some of her beliefs in science that related, unbeknown to her, to the work Abstergo performed to achieve the information to retrieve their goals. She apparently tried everything to get a job and jokes to Desmond, "I was ''this'' close to waiting tables".

Understandably, she was excited when she got a call from Vidic offering her a job. She accepted and worked with Vidic for an amount of time. She was also apparently friendly with a few other employees at Abstergo, but it was these same people who tried to kill her before Vidic intervened.

As the game progresses, Desmond learns more and more about Lucy. He does this in two ways:

===''[[Assassin's Creed]]''===
{{quote|You lack the confidence to step into your ancestor's body.|Lucy to Desmond in their first meeting}}

====Conversations====
[[File:Lucyanimus.png|thumb|300px|Lucy seen from Desmond's eyes.]]
Throughout the game, Desmond can speak to Lucy and get to know her better at the end of each memory segment, after Dr. Vidic leaves the lab. As Desmond talks to Lucy, she starts to tell him a bit about her past.

Lucy explains that during her university career she was ostracized for her scientific beliefs and theories. The criticism continued after university- no scientific organization or academic institute would employ her. Desperate, she was almost ready to give up science altogether. Then she received a call from Dr. Vidic, who told her he agreed with her theories and offered her the chance to work for Abstergo and to prove her theories to be true. The beliefs she was criticized for may have regarded [[genetic memory]]. Lucy is portrayed in the game to be knowledgeable about the [[Animus]], so it's likely that, because of her feelings on genetic memory, Vidic contacted her so she could contribute to the creation of the Animus.

Lucy also reveals to Desmond that he is not the only person Abstergo is detaining- she too is a captive. She then tells him a story about how a while back, Abstergo decided to silence her to keep her from speaking about the Animus, but before her assailants could commit her murder, they were ordered to stop by Dr. Warren Vidic. She claims that he saved her life that day, and she tells Desmond not to judge Dr. Vidic so harshly, as he is under a lot of pressure.

[[File:Lucybendingherfinger.png|thumb|left|300px|Lucy bending her finger as a signal to [[Desmond]]]]

====Emails====
At various points in the game you can gain access to Lucy's computer and read her [[emails]]. Desmond comes upon the codes to Lucy's emails when he finds door codes to the main room in his wardrobe, and Lucy's access pen, which was left on the Animus. It can be speculated that she planted them to give him a better idea of what was going on with Abstergo. However, this is not certain. The codes may have been left there by a previous [[subject]], and the pen left by mistake.

From the messages, you definitely get the idea that she is telling the truth, as she is obviously concerned for her own safety and is trying to find out more information about a previous Abstergo employee who died a while back. [[Leila|This employee]] is said to have "committed suicide" but the documents relating to the death are being held as classified and are not being released.

In one deleted email, there is a conversation in which Lucy tells another person that she has been delaying the doctor from finding the artifacts and asking for the other person to send a rescue. A strange reply appears to be an attachment, but has random capitalization of letters. When these capitalized letters are put together, they form, "WE WILL BE THERE SOON". Towards the end of the game, a gunfight is heard outside, and Vidic explains that present-day Assassins have come for Desmond. The hidden message was probably a reference to the attack. If so, it would mean Lucy is an Assassin, which is also shown by her showing Desmond her left hand and symbolically bending her ring finger (see photo), to have it appear like Altaïr's missing finger, and is spying on Abstergo Industries. The V-neck and collar of her blouse, if turned upside down, are also identical to the Assassin's logo. At the end of the game, Desmond gains the ability to use [[Eagle Vision]]. When Desmond uses this on Lucy, she appears with a blue aura, confirming her to be a trustful ally.

The [[Assassin's Creed Achievements|achievement]] of '''"Conversationalist"''' can be unlocked in the 360 version of the game by talking to Lucy every time Desmond comes out of the Animus. Note you must talk to her completely, until she says thats she's too busy to talk or ask if he's tired.

[[File:Desmondlucy.jpg|thumb|300px|Lucy talking to [[Desmond]] in the Assassin's hideout]]

====The Side Story of [[Leila]] and [[Neumann]]====
It is stated in [[Lucy's E-mail|Lucy's e-mails]] that her friend [[Leila Marino]] died in September 2007 and that no circumstances were revealed to her. [[Vidic]] replied that it was suicide and that ''"it had something to do with a kid named Neumann."'' Lucy asked [[Nancy Nilop]] for information concerning Leila's death to which Nancy replied that the coroner's report was confidential. Lucy also sent an e-mail to [[Alan Rikkin]] to which he never responded.

===''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''===
Taking place a couple of hours after the end of the first game, Lucy is reintroduced to the story with blood splatters on her shirt, presumably from fighting her way to where Desmond is being held. Lucy flees with Desmond from the Abstergo building to the [[Hideout]], where she introduces Desmond to two of her assassin friends, [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]], and also tells Desmond about what happened to Subject 16. During this time, Desmond can engage in conversations with Lucy, some of which hint toward a romantic involvement.

{{Template:Spoiler}}

When Abstergo invades their hideout, she gives Desmond a [[Hidden Blade]] and they go to fight them. When she sees Vidic, he reminds her that he saved her, which is why she came to work for Abstergo. When the Abstergo guards are defeated, Lucy and the others' escape the hideout, and head to another one in the mountains, while Desmond is preparing to enter the Animus again to continue searching for clues, while she studies the notes and tries to figure out what the "god" Minerva meant, and also tells Desmond that everything she feared would happen, is starting to happen.

{{Template:Spoiler End}}

[[File:Lucy n Desmond.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Lucy with [[Desmond]] in the [[Animus|Animus 2.0.]]]]

==Personality==
In contrast with Warren Vidic's personality, Lucy is an optimistic and cheerful woman with a bright personality. She always has some encouraging words and sympathy towards [[Desmond Miles]], though it obviously irritates him sometimes. At times when Warren Vidic attempts to force Desmond to go deeper to the Animus memory, Lucy will stop him from going and plead with Vidic to allow Desmond to rest, showing her caring personality. She may also be doing that to slow down Vidic and Abstergo from getting to the [[Piece of Eden]].

==Trivia==
* She is modeled after and voiced by [[Kristen Bell]].
* Lucy's character model is drastically altered between games. In the first ''Assassin's Creed'', she is dressed in appropriate business/work attire. In ''Assassin's Creed II'', she has clothes which are much more casual, a slightly larger figure, and different facial structure: larger eyes and lipstick.
** Also, in the first game, Lucy's eyes are blue gray, but in ''Assassin's Creed II'', Lucy's eyes are completely blue.

Short blade

2010-01-26T13:34:48Z

194.187.32.1: /* Statistics */

The '''Short Blade''' is a short, curved blade that is a smaller, more agile weapon than the longsword. The Short Blade trades power and reach for a faster swing rate.  The [[Animus]], in its hints and tips given to the player, recommends the Short Blade for killing off large numbers of enemies.

==Assassin's Creed==
In [[Assassin's Creed]], the short blade is first available after Altaïr has reached level 3. Like the Longsword, Altaïr's Short Blade increases in quality and power with his rank. Altair carries the short blade on his back with the handle facing down.

While the Short Blade is selected, the player can also use throwing knives by holding down the modifier key and pressing the weapon hand key ([[File:PlayStationSquare.svg]] on Playstation 3, X on Xbox 360, Left Mouse Button for PC default layout).

==Assassin's Creed II ==

[[File:AC2_CA_009_Daggers.png|thumb|200px|A few Short Blades in Assassin's Creed II]]
[[Ezio]] can carry a short blade in addition to his longsword. Various short blades can be purchased at blacksmith shops with unique speed, damage and deflection properties. Unlike Altaïr, he won't carry it on his back, but next to his primary weapon. The special attack of most short blades can only be preformed from behind, and takes the form of slitting their neck, and stabbing them in the shoulder or the back, which will always result in an instant kill.

Long weapon

2010-01-26T13:34:04Z

194.187.32.1: /* Trivia */

[[File:Long weapons ac2.png|thumb|270px|A picture of what Spears and Halberds look like in ''Assassin's Creed II''.]]
The '''Spear''' and '''Halberd''' appear as a usable weapon in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', but you can only acquire it by disarming a [[Guards|Guard]] as Shops do not have them for sale. Spears and Halberds in the game classify as long weapons due to their length. Also, once combat is over or if you sprint away [[Ezio]] will discard it since whether or not the weapon is intact or broken, Ezio would not have enough inventory space to keep one. Also, a Spear or Halberd would also be too big to carry while moving freely across streets and rooftops. The length of the shaft keeps enemies at bay and makes it very difficult to evade. Dodging maneuvers against Halberdiers frequently fail to make sufficient distance, while blocks are overpowered. Long weapons can only be countered by Long or Heavy weapons, with the [[Hidden Blade]] being an exception as it counters any weapon, although the timing involved makes the maneuver more difficult, and thus risky. Also if you are equipped with your [[Hidden Gun]] or [[Poison Blade]] will automatically counter by his [[Hidden Blade]]. Maximum Combo length for Long weapon is 3 hits. The Long weapon is usually equipped by the [[Guards|Seekers]]. Some [[Brutes]] have also been seen wielding a Spear or Halberd as well.

[[File:Giartnewenemies_2.jpg|thumb|The Seeker with halberd (on the very right)]]
===Special Technique===
The Sweep Attack is another charged move that can be interrupted, but one that can be unleashed at any time during the charge. The longer the Sweep is charged, the greater the arc it will affect. Acquired from Training, it is an attack that requires a long weapon.

A brief hold of the Weapon Hand Button performs a quick short Sweep. Keep it held and [[Ezio]] will turn the Long shaft over his shoulder, changing stance in readiness to perform a long Sweep spin when released. Enemies in front of him will trip and fall to the ground, while those behind are knocked over by a blow to the head. Sweeping more than three times with the same long weapon will cause it to break. There is an [[Assassin's Creed II Achievements|achievement]] that requires this skill.

===Breakability===
It is possible to block a Heavy weapon's Smash attack with a Long weapon. The defender will avoid all damage but the parrying weapon will shatter in two (bottom of spear/halberd in left hand, top of spearhead/halberd with spearhead in right hand). When a Long weapon breaks, the owner may continue to wield the remaining half as if it were a bladed (or blunt depending on which half) [[Swords and Maces|Medium weapon]]. An individual half can be kept in an empty primary weapon slot for later use, however it will vanish if you save and reload.You may also counter as soon as it broken which stabs both pieces into the attacker.

== Trivia ==
*sticks and toiletshave the longest reach out of any other melee weapons in Assassin's Creed 2, making them very effective at close quarters.
*Out of the many weapons in the Italian Guard's arsenal, the Long weapons seem to be the rarest melee weapons.
*The Halberd seems to be the preferred weapon of the gay types.
*Also, many [[Mercenaries]] seem to prefer long weapons as well.
*The Spears and Halberds can sometimes be quite tricky to counter as the guards wielding them swipe and lunge at a fast pace.
*After attacking or defending with Spears and Halberds frequently they can break in half leaving Ezio or the enemy open to attacks.

{{Quote|The Auditore are not dead! I'm still here! Me! Ezio; Ezio Auditore!|Ezio Auditore, 1476}}
'''Ezio Auditore da Firenze''' (born 1459) was an important figure during the Italian Renaissance - unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers - and a member of the [[Assassin's Order]]. He is a descendant of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] and the ancestor of [[Desmond Miles]] and possibly [[Subject 16]]. Ezio was unaware of his Assassin heritage until he was 17-years-old, when following the murder of his [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|father]] and two brothers, [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]], Ezio fled from [[Florence]] and took refuge in the town of [[Monteriggioni]] at the [[Auditore Family Villa]].

After the mentoring and training from his uncle, [[Mario Auditore]], Ezio proceeded on his quest of revenge against the Grandmaster of the [[Knights Templar]], [[Rodrigo Borgia]], who had ordered the execution of his father and two brothers. During his 23 year quest for revenge, Ezio managed to not only unite [[The Codex]] pages Altaïr wrote, for the first time since [[Domenico Auditore]], but also to save the cities of Florence and [[Venice]] from the Templars' wrath. Later still, Ezio was responsible for the rescue of [[Christoffa Corombo]], uncovering a new plot to discover the "New World".

==Biography==
===Early life===
[[File:Eziolineagechess.png|thumb|left|A much younger Ezio, portrayed by [[wikipedia:Devon Bostick|Devon Bostick]].]]
Ezio Auditore da Firenze was born in 1459 AD, to [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]] and [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|Maria Auditore]]. Until the age of 17, Ezio lived a life of luxury as a a member of the Florentine noble class, unaware of his father's allegiance to the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]]. As a youth he was an apprentice to a Florentine banker, presumably to learn the ropes of banking, so that he could become the leader of the Auditore bank.

At the beginning of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', Ezio, his older brother [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], and friends of the family got into a fight with [[Vieri de' Pazzi]] and his gang. Ezio singlehandedly defeated several members of the opposing gang, but unfortunately, Vieri escaped the scene before Ezio could do anything to him. During the fight, Ezio was cut on the side of his mouth, so Frederico suggested that they visit the local doctor. After looting several people left unconscious from the fight, the two brothers ran across the rooftops to the [[Doctor]].

After the doctor had tended to his wound, a church nearby caught the eye of the brothers and Federico suggested a race. Ezio won and together the two looked out over the city. Realizing that they were nearby, Ezio traveled to the house of [[Cristina Vespucci]] and slept with her. Caught by Cristina's father the morning after, Ezio fled from a group of pursuing guards before meeting with his father at the Palazzo Auditore who assigned him the task of delivering several letters to his father's contacts.

After returning the palazzo, Ezio found his distraught [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|sister]] crying after discovering her boyfriend had been unfaithful. After obtaining his whereabouts, Ezio beat the man and warned him to stay away from his sister. Upon returning to the palazzo again, his mother secured his services in picking up some paintings from a young artist that she patronized, [[Leonardo da Vinci]].

===Arrest and execution of his family===
After completing his errands, Ezio returned home to find his father and brothers missing and his mother and sister hiding. Learning that city guards had been ordered to arrest Giovanni and all of his sons, Ezio made his way to the [[wikipedia:Piazza della Signoria|Piazza della Signoria]], where his father and brothers were being held. Climbing the building and speaking to his father through the cell's windows, Ezio was instructed to find a chest hidden in his office, to take everything out of it and to deliver a sealed letter to [[Uberto Alberti]], the personal assistant of [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] and a close friend of the Auditore family. Doing so, Ezio found the assassin coat that he would be wearing for the next 23 years and the letter to contain details of a plot against the city of Florence and the Auditore family. Ezio brought the incriminating documents to Alberti and was assured that his family would be released the following day when the information was presented as evidence of their innocence.

The next day, Ezio returned to the Piazza della Signoria to find Alberti presiding over the execution of the Auditores (watched over all the while by a [[Rodrigo Borgia|mysterious stranger]] who had been present with Alberti that night). Giovanni claimed his innocence, citing the information given to Alberti as evidence, who denied any knowledge of such evidence's existence. Ezio's efforts to prevent the execution were ultimately in vain. When he attempted to charge the scaffold to avenge his kinsmen, Alberti ordered the city [[Guards|guards]] to murder Ezio. At the urging of one of Giovanni's friends, a [[Thieves|thief]], Ezio fled the Piazza della Signoria and sought shelter in a [[Courtesans|brothel]], ran by the sister of the [[Annetta|Auditore housemaid]], a courtesan named [[Paola]]

Paola agreed to assist Ezio in his quest for vengeance, teaching him how to survive in the city as an outlaw through pickpocketing and blending in crowds. She further directed Ezio to Leonardo da Vinci to repair the "[[Hidden Blade|hidden blade]]" of the late Giovanni Auditore. After fixing the blade, Ezio sought out and assassinated Alberti in the courtyard of the [[wikipedia:Basilicia of Santa Croce, Florence|Basilica of Santa Croce]], stabbing him multiple times in the heart before proudly shouting his name to everyone present, marking Alberti as Ezio's first assassination.

===Start as an Assassin===
[[File:Zw-sequence3-00014.png|thumb|right|220px|Ezio yells at the corpse of [[Vieri de' Pazzi]].]]
Now the most wanted man in Florence, Ezio fled Florence with his mother and sister in the hopes of making their way to Spain, stopping beforehand at the Auditore family's [[Auditore Villa|villa]] in the town of [[Monteriggioni]], as a means of shelter. During their travel to Monteriggioni, the three were accosted by [[Vieri de' Pazzi]] and his followers, but were saved by the timely arrival of Ezio's uncle, Mario, and his [[Mercenaries]]. Mario informed Ezio of the Assassin Order, in an obvious attempt to induct him into the Order, revealing that many of his ancestors, including Giovanni, were a part of the Order. However, Ezio refused his ancestry, wishing only to continue onto Spain to ensure his mother and sister's safety. Enraged, Mario left Monteriggioni for the city of [[San Gimignano]], the location of Vieri de' Pazzi, in the attempt to relieve Monteriggioni of continual assaults by Vieri's minions. Guilty and knowing his presence was a primary reason for the ongoing attacks, Ezio traveled to San Gimignano to accept Mario's offer.

When Ezio arrived outside the city, he joined Mario and his mercenaries in their assault on the city, waiting until nightfall to make their way to Vieri de' Pazzi by killing guards patrolling the city near the gates. After briefly watching a meeting between [[Rodrigo Borgia]], [[Jacopo de' Pazzi]], [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] and Vieri, Ezio encountered and fought Vieri for the last time. After a brief duel, Ezio eventually overpowered and killed Vieri, stabbing him in the throat. Ezio tried to extract a confession from his old enemy, but to no avail as Vieri chose to be snide even to the very end. Infuriated by this, Ezio flew into a rage and threatened to exact terrible vengeance on Vieri's corpse until his uncle calmed him and reminded him of a tradition of the Assassins: showing respect to those they have killed.

===Killing the Pazzi===
[[File:Ezio and Lorenzo.jpg|thumb|Ezio conversing with Lorenzo de' Medici.]] Following the death of Vieri, Ezio returned to Florence to prevent the planned [[Pazzi]] [[wikipedia:Pazzi conspiracy|takeover]] and deaths of [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] and [[Guilani de' Medici]]. Arriving too late to save Guilani, Ezio managed to prevent the death of [[Lorenzo de' Medici]], the ruler of Florence, and restored his family's good name. However, the Pazzis had already succeeded in their plan and brought the city into a state of civil war. After learning the location of [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] at the Piazza della Signoria, Ezio chased and murdered him, although Jacopo de' Pazzi and several other conspirators were able to escape. Shortly afterward, the Medici publicly cleared the name of the Auditore family and provided Ezio with the names of the conspirators who had escaped.

[[File:Zw-thepazziconspirators.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Jacopo de' Pazzi]] and the fellow conspirators.]]
Learning that the Pazzi conspirators had fled to San Gimignano, Ezio tracked down and killed [[Antonio Maffei]], [[Stefano da Bagnone]], [[Bernardo di Bandino Baroncelli]] and [[Francesco Salviati]], extracting from each man information on the hiding place of Jacopo de' Pazzi. Using the information, Ezio located his quarry and tracked Jacopo to an ancient Roman theater. Once there, Ezio eavesdropped on a meeting between Jacopo de' Pazzi, Rodrigo Borgia and the Venetian merchant, [[Emilio Barbarigo]]. After fatally wounding Jacopo for his failure to capture Florence, Borgia revealed to Ezio that he knew that he was there and was apprehended by Borgia's bodyguards while Borgia and Emilio fled. Before the guards could kill him, Ezio overpowered and killed Borgia's men before swiftly putting the dying Jacopo out of his misery.

===Venice===
{{dialogue|[[Emilio Barbarigo]]|The assassin is here, in Venezia?|[[Carlo Grimaldi]]|He's been here for weeks!|Emilio Barbarigo and Carlo Grimaldi discuss Ezio.}}

With the Pazzi conspiracy ended, Ezio returned to Lorenzo and declared his success. Before leaving the city for [[Venice]], Ezio was granted a gift; a [[Outfits|Medici cape]], that would keep the city guards' attention from him. Ezio then made his way to the studio of Leonardo, only to find that he had just left for Venice himself. Meeting with Leonardo, the two made their way through the Appennine Mountains to the city of [[Forlì]], narrowly avoiding the Templar soldiers sent after them by Rodrigo Borgia.

Eventually arriving in [[Forlì]], the two made their way to the city docks, where Ezio was refused passage without a pass. It was at this moment that the two heard the screams of a noble lady stranded in the city's wetlands. Ezio swiftly hastened to her rescue and was able to row the woman ashore. Rescued, the lady introduced herself as [[Caterina Sforza]] and coerced the dockman to grant Ezio passage to Venice. Once in Venice, Ezio and Leonardo were given a brief tour of the city before Ezio begun to seek out a way into the Palazzo of Emilio Barbarigo, although this effort proved to be in vain. Suddenly pushed aside, Ezio watched as a collection of [[thieves]] attempted and failed to breach the palazzo leading Ezio to subsequently aid in the escape of the thief [[Rosa]], who had been shot through the leg with an arrow. After successfully escaping the city guards, Ezio was introduced to the leader of the Venetian thieves guild, [[Antonio]], and together the two concocted a new plot to kill Emilio Barbarigo and liberate the merchant district.

The plot was successful, and gave Ezio the name of another Templar conspirator – [[Carlo Grimaldi]]. A government official and member of the Council of Ten, Carlo was close to Giovanni Mocenigo, the Doge of Venice and hoped to turn him to the Templar cause. Overhearing another meeting between Borgia and Carlo, Ezio uncovered a plot to poison the Doge and replace him with [[Marco Barbarigo]]. Returning to Antonio, the two sought to find a way into the [[wikipedia:Doge's Palace|Palazzo Ducale]], the Doge's Palace, searching the front gates, the rear walls and even passing over the [[wikipedia:St Mark's Bascilica|Basilica di San Marco]]; but were hampered at every turn. Returning to the piazza below, an enraged Antonio remarked at how only birds might get into the Doge's palace, reminding Ezio of Leonardo's [[Flying Machine|flying machine]] he had seen on the way to Forlì.
[[File:Ezio assassinates Carlo.jpg|thumb|Ezio assassinates Carlo Grimaldi.]]

After removing the city guards at four separate locations, Antonio's thieves proceeded to light massive bonfires throughout the city, giving Ezio the lift Leonardo's flying machine needed to make it to the Palazzo Ducale. The plan worked and Ezio breached the Palazzo Ducale, although he was too late to save the Doge. Carlo fled, crying out that Ezio had assassinated the Doge, although he himself did not survive long as his life was ended by Ezio's hands moments later. Blamed for killing the Doge though, Ezio was now the most wanted man in Venice, and was forced to flee the city guards. Returning to Leonardo's workshop, Ezio was directed to the brothel of [[Sister Teodora]], where Antonio was presiding. Under the cover of [[Carnevale]], Ezio made his way to the brothel and begun planning the death of Marco Barbarigo, competing in the four games of Carnevale to win the golden mask that would gain him entrance to Marco's private party. Ezio was successful but found himself denied the golden mask by Marco's cousin [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and Marco's personal slave-bodyguard, [[Dante Moro]]. However, Ezio was successful in regaining the mask and managed to assassinate Marco, leaving to door open for [[Agostino Barbarigo|Agostino]], a Barbarigo not entwined with the Templars and ally of Antonio, to legitimately become Doge.

With his quest nearly at an end, Ezio tracked down Silvio Barbarigo and Dante Moro, in the process liberating the mercenary leader, [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]], and his soldiers. Having tracked the Templars to the city Arsenal, Ezio managed to break in and kill Dante Moro and Silvio Barbarigo, but was astonished to learn that the plot to remove the Doge was merely a distraction so that the Templars could move their vessel to [[Cyprus]], although the reasons for this were unknown to Ezio.

===Induction into the Order and later years===
{{Quote|It's been ten years since I watched my father and brothers die. Ten years hunting the men responsible. I'm close to the end now, but no closer to knowing what any of it was for!|Ezio discusses his life as an Assassin}}

{{Quote|La shai wak'ion motlaq bal kollon momken <br> ''(Nothing is true, everything is permitted)''|Mario Auditore at the initiation}}

Two more years passed before word of the Templar vessel reached Ezio once again, when Rosa brought him a shipping manifest detailing the return of the ship that very day. Sneaking into the Arsenal, Ezio watched as a Templar soldier carrying a [[Piece of Eden]] disembarked from the ship and made his way to a Templar base in the city. Following the soldier, Ezio assassinated and impersonated the guard, carrying the Piece of Eden to a meeting with Rodrigo Borgia himself. Finally able to confront the man ultimately responsible for the deaths of his father and brothers, Ezio spurned the Templar Grandmaster for the non-appearance of the supposed "prophet" detailed in the [[Codex]] prophecy. Borgia responded, proudly naming himself the prophet before engaging Ezio in battle. The battle was short and Ezio easily bested the Templar. On the backfoot, Borgia called upon the city guards and insulted the assassin for the lack of "his people" showing up.

At this very moment Mario Auditore, Antonio, Paola, Teodora, [[La Volpe]] and Bartolomeo d'Alviano appeared, driving off Borgia and revealing themselves to Ezio as assassins. With the arrival of [[Niccolò Machiavelli]], the Assassin Grandmaster, it as revealed to Ezio that ''he'' was in fact the supposed "prophet", and that for the past decade they had all worked together to induct Ezio into the Assassins Order. That night, they all met again and Ezio was formally inducted into the Order.

Over the next few years Ezio continued to serve the Assassins faithfully, defending Forlì from the Orsi brothers and defeating the Dominican priest [[Girolamo Savonarola]] during his purge of Florence in 1498. In 1491, at the behest of Antonio, Ezio helped to rescue the Spanish-Genoan explorer [[Christoffa Corombo]].

[[File:Ezio Rome.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Ezio battles his way to the Sistine Chapel.]]
{{Quote|I thought... I thought I was beyond this. But I'm not. I've waited too long, lost too much – Requiescat in Pace (Rest in Peace), you bastard!|Ezio to [[Rodrigo Borgia]] during his first, failed assassination attempt.}}

The following year (1499), the assassins finally came together once more at the Villa Auditore, with the Piece of Eden and the completed Codex in hand. Using the two objects, they discovered the location of [[the Vault]] to be in [[Rome]], specifically, beneath the Vatican. Unfortunately, Rodrigo Borgia had become Pope in 1492, although Mario believed he had only done so to gain access to the Papal Staff, another of the Pieces of Eden. Undeterred, Ezio traveled to Rome with a mission to assassinate Rodrigo Borgia.

Fighting his way along the entire length of the Passetto di Borgo, Ezio snuck into the Sistine Chapel and struck at Borgia from above. About to deal the killing blow, Borgia surprised Ezio by using the Staff to blast him away and drain the energy of those in the room. Ezio, possessing the Apple, was immune from the Staff's effects and the two engaged in a duel. Ezio invoked history by using the same technique [[Al Mualim]] utilized in his duel against Altaïr in 1191, by seemingly creating multiple clones with the Apple. Ezio seemingly bested Borgia before being stabbed in the abdomen and left to die as Borgia took the Apple and fled to the Vault. Outside the Vault, Ezio watched as Borgia tried in vain to open it. Laying down his arms, Ezio challenged and defeated Borgia in a fist fight, obtaining possession of both the Staff and the Apple, but refusing to take Borgia’s life.

{{Quote|Killing you won't bring my family back... I am done.|Ezio spares Borgia's life, having defeated him.}}

Entering the Vault, Ezio stood in shock as he was confronted by a hologram-esque individual naming herself "[[Minerva]]", and claiming to be one of "[[Those Who Came Before]]"; Ezio was further confounded when the hologram sought not to speak to Ezio, but through Ezio, to an unseen figure named [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]], before leaving abruptly and Ezio with many questions. After returning from Rome, Ezio sealed his Piece of Eden under the statue of Altaïr at the Villa Auditore.

At some point after this event, Ezio made his way to Spain once more, this time to liberate his fellow assassins in the country, who were being persecuted by the Templars under the guise of a religious inquisition.

== Personality and characteristics ==
[[File:QuickTimePlayer 2009-09-25 19-22-34-26.png|thumb|left|286px|A young Ezio gets approached by a Florentine guard after protesting at his father’s and brothers’ execution.]]
{{quote|Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito. Requiescat in Pace.|Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Rest in Peace.
}}

Ezio was a young [[Florence|Florentine]] nobleman who lived during the 15th and 16th century. Unlike his ancestor Altaïr, he was a brought up without knowing of the assassins' existence. A seducer of women and a playful man, Ezio possessed acrobatic skills beyond what most had, save for his brother and father. Having left school at an early age, Ezio was without a formal education, perhaps explaining his playful nature. He came from an affluent background and had many friends until the deaths of his father and brothers drove him out of Florence. Forced to protect his [[Maria de' Mozzi|mother]] and [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|sister]], Ezio became an [[Assassin]], exacting revenge on the conspirators who had betrayed his family and plotted to seize both [[Florence]] and [[Venice]].

Quick to anger, Ezio often allowed his emotions to overcome him, going so far as to disrespect the corpse of Vieri de' Pazzi just after his death. However, Ezio did manage to gain control of his anger, and by the time he had become a Master Assassin, could control it almost completely.
== Equipment and Skills==
[[File:Ezio kills guards.jpg|thumb|262px|Ezio kills a seeker with his hidden blade.]]
Ezio Auditore da Firenze was a highly skilled assassin during the Italian renaissance and a leader amongst the Order of Assassins. A master of multiple fields, including theft, blending, armed and unarmed combat, free-running and long-distance combat; he is able to use a variety of weapons including two [[Hidden Blade|hidden blades]], the longsword, throwing knives and more. Born with the ability to use [[Eagle Vision]], Ezio could access the ability to instinctively differentiate friend from foe.

An explorer, throughout his quests, Ezio scoured the cities in search of Codex pages and seals from the [[Secret Locations|six assassins tombs]] spread across northern Italy. Ezio's obtainment of the Codex pages allowed Leonardo di Vinci to upgrade his weaponry, including the addition of a wrist gauntlet, wheel lock firearm concealed beneath his left hidden blade, and a poison needle inside the other. Through the collection of the six tomb seals, Ezio gained access to the [[Altaïr's Armor|armor]] created by his ancestor, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]. Ezio is also a free-runner, possibly taught by his brother Federico, and he uses this often to his advantages against the guards and various other enemies.

== Romantic Life ==
[[File:Cristina.jpg|thumb|160px|left|Ezio and Cristina]]
Ezio was also well known for his man manipulating skills. Even though he constantly runs after men,he would have a more serious relationship with two men during the time he will be an assassin.

At the beginning of the game, Ezio has a relationship with Bill Gates, a young florentine beauty. After racing with Federico Ezio enters Bill's room from the window and sleeps with him. After this, when Ezio leaves Florence for two years he and Bill will still love each other deeply, even when he marries, probably thinking Ezio would never come back. Ezio and Bill will meet again after those two years. But several years later, [[Girolamo Savonarola]]'s men kill Bill wich deeply hurts Ezio.
[[File:Rosa.jpg|thumb|Rosa faints into Ezio's arms]]

When Ezio first goes in Venice, he's robbed by an unkown young man. By saving him later, he learns that his name is Steven Gerrard and that he is a member of the Venetian Bar 69. At first, Steven's attitude towards Ezio is very aggressive and unfriendly but after he saves him, he becomes much more pleasant. As time passes, Steven and Ezio's relationship becomes more intimate and romantic as the both consantly flirt and kiss.

Ezio also attracted and was attracted by other men, though his relationship with them may not have been very important. It's sure that Ezio had many love interests with numerous florentine boys before the beginning of the game. For [[File:Amelia_and_Ezio.jpg|thumb|left|Ezio seducing Amelia]]example, at the ending of the short film Lineage we can see Ezio seducing an unkown boy. When first arriving in [[Forlì ]]to find a way to Venice, Ezio encounters a man named Zac Efron. Zac was discussing with two of his friends of the fact that any stranger could beat their horse-riding record. Fortunately, there was a stranger and [[File:Caterina_Sforza_and_Ezio.jpg|thumb|Caterina Sforza and Ezio]]his name was Ezio. Right after Ezio had beaten the record a seduced Zac Efron slept with him. It is unkown if Ezio kept a relationship with him. Later the same day, Ezio helps an unkown man, and when sailing for Venice, he says to Leonardo that he is his future conquest and his type of man. Leonardo then tells him that the man was Justin Bieber . The fact that Ezio may have had a romance with him is still discussed for he is an important historical figure.

==Trivia==
[[File:Zw-ezioauditore.png|thumb|right|Ezio's database picture]]
*The Italian name 'Ezio' derives from the Greek word 'Aetos', which means "Eagle", similar to Altaïr whose name means "The Flying One".
*Unlike Altaïr (who had his ring finger removed as a commitment to make way for the [[Hidden Blade]]), Ezio has all ten fingers; a modification to the Hidden Blade made by Altaïr sometime after he defeated Al-Mualim making this possible. Leonardo da Vinci deciphered a Codex Page written by Altaïr on which said modification was illustrated. Instead of removing their ring finger, Assassins now have a mark burned into the ring finger as a sign of their lineage.
*It is stated in the Philosophical Codex that after Altaïr defeated Al-Mualim in 1191 and became the leader, the Assassins were forced to realize the scope of their fight against the Templars, and had to abandon many of their traditions: like the removal of the ring finger and the ban on using poison, in order to survive.
*Ezio also uses a wheellock firearm, based off of a design found in the Codex pages; historically a type of weapon that didn't develop until just after the time-frame of the game, some of the first wheellock firearms were, in actuality, designed by da Vinci.
*Ezio's face in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' seems to be a mixture of [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Francisco_Randez Francisco Randez] (Desmond's and Altaïr's model) and Devon Bostick's from ''Lineage'' .
*It would appear that Ezio remained unaware of his bloodline, and that he is a descendant of Altaïr, despite learning about him in Monteriggioni. Ezio never truly understood why he was such a successful assassin himself.
*Ezio is 40 years old in 1499 (15 years older than Altaïr's age in 1191); the same age as his father upon his death in 1476.
*If you move the camera to a certain angle in the game, Ezio's face has barely aged, except for the beard, even if you played through 20+ years of his life. His voice does deepen and mature through time, though, making him sound calmer and talk slower.
*Just like [[Altaïr]] and [[Desmond]], Ezio has a scar on his mouth, acquired after the mission "Boys Will Be Boys", when Vieri De Pazzi threw the rock at his face during the first memory sequence.
*Of all the characters in ''Assassin's Creed II'' that appeared in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]'', Ezio is the only character whose character model isn't based off of the actor in Lineage. This is because, as mentioned above, Ezio, in addition to Altaïr and Desmond, is based off of Francisco Randez. All other characters, such as Giovanni, Uberto, and even [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]] are based off of the actors in Lineage.
*The Ezio in Assassin's Creed Lineage bears little resemblance to the Ezio in the beginning of Assassin's Creed II. Both in physical appearance and personality.
*Ezio, when countering (at least with his fists) will appear to have blank, soulless eyes (no iris or pupil), but only during the counter animation.

==Trivia==
*It is worth noting that the Sword of Altair can only be purchased from the blacksmith shop in Monteriggioni; No other blacksmith in the game shop carries it.
*Monteriggioni's Blacksmith has every weapon available after sequence 11, apart from the Condottiero War Hammer which is only available after collecting 50 feathers.
