'''Adolf Hitler''' (April 20, 1889 - c. April 30, 1945) was the leader of [[wikipedia:Nazi Germany|Nazi Germany]] during the period of 1933 to 1945 and a member of the [[Templars]].

== Biography ==
After the end of World War I, Hitler was left without a job and germany fell into a depression, Hitler had a grudge against Jews, blaming them for immigrating into germany and taken their jobs (despite the fact that his father was a Jew and gave him beatings most of his life) Hitler then gave a speech on how they should attempt to restore germany regarding the conditions of the Treaty Of Versailles, Hitler was then asked by the Templars to act on the jews, claiming that there was an assassin camp of Jews in the ghettos, due to his success, the Templar gave him the iron cross, which is also the mark of cain by the Templar Brotherhood, Hitler had joined the Templars in 1933.
Hitler received a [[Piece of Eden]] from his fellow Templar, [[Henry Ford]]. Henry Ford was given Hitler's personalized [[wikipedia:Nazi|Nazi]] Templar Cross adorned with Swastikas which was only given to other Templars as gifts of their brotherhood. Hitler was also a very good artist, but regarding the conditions of his father, who wanted him to become an engineer. Hitler formed the National Socialist Party, also known as the Nazi party, which was another military branch formed by the Templars.

Hitler used it to achieve a democratic takeover of the country and subsequently turn it into a National Socialist dictatorship. With the Piece of Eden in his possession, this change was widely unopposed and he remained highly popular within [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]]: fanatical soldiers accepted his orders unquestioningly and proceeded to invade Poland, starting the Second World War. Eventually however, despite the strength of the Piece of Eden, Germany was defeated by the combined might of the [[wikipedia:Allies|Allies]] and [[wikipedia:Soviets|Soviets]], though this could possibly have been a predetermined outcome created by the Knights Templar.

Hitler was given a Piece of Eden which he kept secret from everyone, including his close people like his second in command and secretaries but it is possible that some of his officers and soldiers are part of the order and knew about the Apple. Once he took over Germany, however, he began freely using it to make great strides in numerous scientific fields. He also used the Piece of Eden to begin production of a UFO type aircraft, which was not fully realized as the war ended sooner than expected.

Hitler's purpose of the complete genocide of the Jews was his search for another Piece of Eden believed to be in the hands of a Jewish [[Assassins|Assassin]]. Hitler kept doing experiments on the Jews and making them do work in the Concentration camps for the fact that there could be other possible Assassins in the Jewish populace. Hitler believed if there were Assassins in the camps they would attempt to escape and would end up being killed by the Nazis in their attempt. Those who had experiments done to them were possibly interrogated on the location of the Piece of Eden. All attempts to find the Piece of Eden were stopped when the Allies liberated most of the camps.

Hitler was meant to survive the war by faking his death with a body double. Shortly before the war's end, a patient Assassin caught him outside the [[wikipedia:Führerbunker|Führerbunker]]. His actual death would go unnoticed until his failure to meet with his fellow Templars.

What became of the Piece of Eden following Hitler's death remains unknown.

== Characteristics and personality ==
Hitler was greatly obsessed with the occult and mysterious. He used that as a cover story to further his search for the other Pieces of Eden. It was noted in a few documentaries that he searched greatly for the Spear of Longinus, A.K.A. (Also Known As) The Holy Lance, the spear that pierced Christ's side during his time on the Cross. This is more than likely a Piece of Eden known as the Spear. There are also numerous other items he supposedly had sought out for occult value that includes, the [[Ark of the Covenant]], the Holy Grail and numerous other such objects.

== Trivia ==
* It is suggested in [[Subject 16]]'s [[glyphs]] that the Templars planned World War II: Hitler, [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] were all members of the Order.
* Historically, Hitler won the [[wikipedia:Iron Cross|Iron Cross]] twice during World War I for bravery. The Iron Cross is, in this instance, the same symbol as the Mark of Cain, the emblem of the Knights Templar and identical to the [[Knights Teutonic]] Cross. Hitler, in fact, wanted to revive the Knights Teutonic and greatly admired that order during the Crusades.

Eagle Vision

2011-03-11T16:23:51Z

67.53.64.100: /* Legend */

{{Template:Era|ac|ac2|acb}}

{{Template:Quote|Why do we have these gifts? Because it's in our blood!|[[Subject 16]] about the eagle vision|Assassin's Creed II}}
'''Eagle Vision''' is a supernatural ability that certain lineages of [[Assassins]] possess, like those of [[Marcus Junius Brutus]] and [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]. The user is able to instinctively sense how people and objects relate to him, which manifests as a colored glowing (much like an aura would in a person's "mind's eye"). This ability is known to only be accessible to the descendants and bloodlines of the [[humans]] that paired with [[Those Who Came Before]].

==''[[Assassin's Creed]]''==
[[File:Eagle_vision.jpg|thumb|300px|Desmond identifying Lucy as an ally and Vidic as an enemy through Eagle Vision.]]
To use Eagle Vision, the player must press the Head button. Depending on [[Controls|control settings]], the Head button will most likely be either [[File:PlayStationTriangle.svg]] (for PlayStation 3), Y (for Xbox 360), or E (for PC default layout). In addition, the [[Synchronization]] bar must be at its current maximum capacity, otherwise pressing the Head button will instead result in a first-person view with no extra benefits.

At the end of ''Assassin's Creed'', Desmond [[Bleeding Effect|gains the ability]] to use Eagle Vision outside of the [[Animus]]. He sees [[Lucy Stillman]] (a fellow Assassin) glowing blue and [[Warren Vidic]] (a [[Templar]]) glowing red. Using Eagle Vision will also reveal [[Cryptic Messages|cryptic messages]] [[Subject 16]] wrote with his own blood in the [[Abstergo laboratory]].

==''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''==
[[File:Glyph20_-_Scuola_Grande_di_San_Marco2--article_image.jpg|thumb|300px|Ezio finding one of the glyphs.]]
During his escape from [[Abstergo]], Desmond discovers a new application of this power; using it on a keypad which Lucy lacks a code to unlock reveals the fingerprints of previous users. A simple process of elimination thus enables him to unlock the door.

Ezio, like Altaïr, was able to use Eagle Vision. [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|His father]] and [[Mario Auditore|uncle]] also possessed this ability, and it is thought that [[La Volpe]] also possessed an advanced form of this skill as well, as it is claimed he can "look through walls". It is used to detect and scan [[Glyphs]] from Desmond's perspective.

In a glyph narration from Subject 16, he says, "Behold the Assassins, the children of two worlds! Why do we have these gifts? Because it's in our blood!" This implies that because Altaïr, Ezio, Desmond and Subject 16 all have Eagle Vision, their bloodline is connected to Those Who Came Before. This theory can be supported by the fact that both Subject 16's blood and light patterns in [[Vatican Vault|the vault]] glow when seen with Eagle Vision.

Also Eagle Vision can now be used in 3rd Person and while Ezio is moving, allowing it to be a lot more useful during missions.

==''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''==
When roaming [[Rome]] with Eagle Vision on, whenever you spot a [[feather]] or[[Flags| flag]], it will be marked on your [[map]], so you can pick it up whenever you want later.

Subject 16 has also hidden objects similar to Glyphs in ''Assassin's Creed II'' in Rome, called [[Rifts]]. These Rifts are small openings in structures that expel rays of light continuously. Unlike the Glyphs, the Rifts can only be seen while in Eagle vision, as turning it off will render the rift invisible, and otherwise inaccessible.

In the multiplayer mode a similar ability, Templar Vision, exists as an ability. The ability gives you a 3.5 seconds of eagle vision. Targets are blue while pursuers are red.

==Trivia==
===''Assassin's Creed''===
*An Assassin guard in the [[Kingdom]] can be seen as glowing red, but reacts as all other guards do. This guard was originally supposed to have been [[Jamal]], an Assassin who aided [[Masun]] in betraying the Brotherhood; however, the sequence where Altaïr assassinates him was cut from the final game, leaving him as a minor Easter-egg.
*In the original ''Assassin's Creed'', movement was prohibited while using Eagle Vision, and the player was required to be at maximum synchronization. This was changed, however, in succeeding games.
*''Assassin's Creed'' states that the Eagle Vision ability is actually just a visualization of the Assassin's observational skills, created by the Animus. However, as [[Juno]] later refers to Assassins seeing "the blue shimmer," the backstory for Eagle Vision was likely changed to be a real-world ability.

===''Assassin's Creed II''===
*[[Giovanni Auditore]] tells Ezio to "use his talent" to find a hidden door in his office, showing that Giovanni was aware of his son's ability.
*When using Eagle Vision, Ezio himself is marked with blue, indicating him as an ally to any others with the ability.

===''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''===
*Whilst using Eagle Vision and roaming [[Monteriggioni]] as Desmond Miles, a red trail is visible leading from the fountain with the [[Assassin insignia]], until the door to [[Mario Auditore]]'s study. The trail is colored similarly to the blood glyphs of Subject 16, and seems to be made up of many footprints that for a double helix (or DNA strand).
*In ''Assassins Creed: Brotherhood'', when outside of the Animus, there is sometimes a pause that cause allies to be gold for a few seconds.
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood dead enemies and allies don't glow their normal colors unlike in Assassins Creed II, they will just appear grey like civilains.

===Others===
*A mini-game in the ''Assassin's Creed'' room of PlayStation Home features an Eagle Vision puzzle, which, when completed, opens up the [[Hideout]].
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', [[Giovanni Borgia]] also displays this ability, and uses it to locate [[Francesco Vecellio]]. Francesco referred to it as using his "other eyes."

{{quote|Roma is the pillar that holds our entire enterprise aloft. She cannot waver; which means neither can you|Cesare Borgia to his allies|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood}}
'''Rome''' (''Italian: Roma'') was a major city in [[Renaissance]] [[Italy]], capital of the [[wikipedia:Papal State|Papal State]] and headquarters to the Italian sect of the [[Templars|Templar Order]]. Today it is the capital of the Italian Republic.

==History==
===Roman era===
Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire, and was ruled by the Templars under the alias "[[SPQR|Senatus Populusque Romanus]]", it also served as the headquarters for the Templar Order. In the year 41, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Leonius]] assassinated the Templar [[Caligula]], whom he stabbed with a [[dagger]] in the city.

===Renaissance era===
The de facto capital of the Italian peninsula, as well as its largest city, Rome still, or again, was the headquarters of the Templars by the late 15th Century. In 1476, [[Rodrigo Borgia]], Grand Master of the Knights Templar and a powerful figure in Vatican politics briefly left the city to discuss his Order's plans before returning to get Papal approval.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Lineage">''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''</ref>

In 1492, Rodrigo Borgia became Pope Alexander VI, and head of the Papal State and Catholic Church. Ruling from Rome, he was left alone by the [[Assassins]] for the most part until 1499, when [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] learned that the location of [[The Vault]] was in Rome, beneath the [[Capella Sistina|Sistine Chapel]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> During his journey through Rome, Ezio did not visit any of Rome's shops, landmarks of notable locations, heading directly for his confrontation with Borgia, and then leaving.

[[File:Colosseum.jpg|thumb|Ezio overlooking the Roman Colosseum.]]
Following the [[Siege of Monteriggioni|assault]] of [[Cesare Borgia]] on the Assassin headquarters of [[Monteriggioni]], Ezio Auditore returned to Rome to exact his revenge, assuming control of [[Tiber Island]]. Rome in this time had fallen far behind its fellow cities of [[Florence]] and [[Venice]], and grew stagnant in terms of development under the thumb of the Borgia.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> The Borgia maintained oppression over the city with the [[Borgia Tower]]s located throughout Rome which prevented shops from opening. In order to free Rome of the Borgia's influence, Ezio killed the overlords of the towers and burned the towers to the ground. The city overall is three times the size of Florence (Oltrarno District included). In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Ezio's apprentices are sent to different countries in Europe and join Ezio in Rome. Also it is revealed that instead of renovating one villa like in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', you will be able to renovate all of Rome. The city is split into 4 districts; [[Centro District|Centro]], [[Antico District|Antico]], [[Campagna district|Campagna]], and [[Vaticano District|Vaticano]], and 12 territories, each one controlled by a [[Borgia Tower]].

[[File:Rome_1_by_murcuseo-d338rco.jpg|center|650px|Panoramic view of Rome]]

==Landmarks==
Landmarks in Rome included the [[Pantheon]],<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood E3 trailer">''[http://www.e3expo.com Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood E3 trailer]''</ref> the [[Colosseum]],<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - E3 gameplay demo">''[http://e3.g4tv.com/videos/46470/Ubisoft-E3-2010-Assassins-Creed-Brotherhood-Demo/ Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - E3 gameplay demo]''</ref> the [[Passetto di Borgo]], [[Castel Sant'Angelo]] and [[Sistine Chapel]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

==Trivia==
*The city of Rome is the largest city ever seen in an ''Assassin's Creed'' game. It is three times larger than Florence, which is featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.<ref>http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=260729</ref>
*In ''Brotherhood'', the padlock icons on the map of Rome represent shops that have been closed down by the Borgia.
*In the game, the city is tilted roughly 15 degrees to the right from real life.
*While historically Rome and Florence's architecture at the time were similar, game developers designed Rome with its later Baroque style to be more familiar to gamers.<ref>[http://www.livescience.com/culture/assassins-creed-virtual-rome-renaissance-scholar-101112.html A Renaissance Scholar Helps Build Virtual Rome, ''Live Science'' article]</ref>
*The area where Ezio climbed up to the Castello from the river in ''Assassin's Creed II'' seems to be missing in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
*For unknown reasons, the buildings seen north of the [[Passetto di Borgo]] in ''Assassin's Creed II'' are missing in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.

==Assassination Targets==
===''Assassin's Creed II''===
*[[Rodrigo Borgia]] (DNA Sequence 14: The Vault)

===''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''===
*[[Juan Borgia]] (DNA Sequence 5: The Banker)

{{Quote|I just beat the shit out of two guys like it was nothing, my vision went red and something took over, pure instinct […] It feels like there's something coiled like a snake deep inside of me, and it's waiting to get out..|Daniel Cross|Assassin's Creed: The Fall}}

'''Daniel Cross''', whose birth name is unknown, was an ex-convict and recovering drug and alcohol addict during the late 20th Century. Unknown to him at the time, he was also a great-grandchild of an [[Assassins|Assassin]] – [[Nikolai Orelov]].

==Biography==
===Early years===
{{Quote|Я хочу домои" ("I want to go home" in Russian)|A young Daniel Cross, c. 1985|Assassin's Creed: The Fall}}
At some point during his childhood, "Daniel Cross" was kidnapped by [[Abstergo Industries]] and subjugated to at least one bout of surgery. <ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #1">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]'' - Issue #1</ref> Being dubbed ''Animus Project [[Subjects|Subject 4]]'', he had his genetic memories explored, but also had a hidden impulse inserted that would drive him to kill the [[Grand Master of the Assassin Order]] were he ever presented with the opportunity.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #3">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]'' - Issue #3</ref>

After this, he was thrown out onto the street, alone, until he was happened upon by a couple driving by. When asked his name, he asked, in Russian, to go home.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #2">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]'' - Issue #2</ref>

[[File:Cross walking-The Fall2.jpg|thumb|left|180px|A young Daniel Cross wanders down a road.]]
Daniel grew up to become a petty criminal, though he suffered constantly from [[Bleeding effect|vivid hallucinations]]; at one point, after it became apparent Daniel was not taking his prescription drugs, his court-ordered [[psychiatrist]] reminded him that he was required to do so by law. Simply throwing away the prescription as he left, Cross instead chose to visit a local bar. There he tried, unsuccessfully, to proposition several women before vomiting into a toilet. He began to have another hallucination before stumbling out the back door of the bar.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #1">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]'' - Issue #1</ref>

Outside, Cross was stopped by a man who asked if he was feeling okay. Daniel, still suffering from his hallucinations, accused him of being a [[Templar]], very nearly stabbing him as well. Before he was able to do so however, he was stopped by [[Hannah Mueller]], who pulled him into a car driven by another man and revealed to him that he was an Assassin.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #1" />

===Meeting the Order===
{{Quote|Are you a field operative? Communications? You don't show up on any of our personnel records.|Paul Bellamy to Daniel Cross|Assassin's Creed: The Fall}}
The next day, Daniel awoke in a strange location, and learned that Hannah had taken Daniel to an Assassin camp. She remarked that they had been unable to find his cabin, and that nobody from the camp recognized him. Shortly afterward, they met with [[Paul Bellamy]], the director of the camp. Adding to Hannah's own remarks, Bellamy brought up the fact that their was no record of Daniel ''anywhere'' in the [[Assassins|Order's]] personnel records. Cross continued to preach his ignorance of either the Assassins or the Templars, and was aghast when shown that his tattoo was in fact the symbol of the Assassin Order.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #2" />

[[File:ACTF_2_Legion_CPS_010.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Cross taking out two other Assassins who had attempted to stop him leaving.]]
At this moment, Daniel had another vision, physically speaking out the words of his ancestor, [[Nikolai Orelov]]. When questioned on this by Bellamy, and what "[[Tunguska explosion|Tunguska]]" meant, Daniel got up to leave, but was prevented from doing so by two other Assassins who had been watching the exchange. The three broke into a fight, with Daniel quickly disabling his attackers; Paul Bellamy was forced to put his [[Hidden Blade|hidden blade]] to Cross' neck so as to ensure he didn't kill either.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #2" />

That night, in a fit of anger, Cross overturned the furniture in his room, which drew the attention of Hannah Mueller. Daniel told her that he had left his medication in his flat and that he needed to get it back. Although Hannah at first refused to help him, she quickly decided it was for the best and handed him a white hooded-jacket, so that he might blend in. Arriving at the apartment, the two realized that there was no medication left, as he had thrown the last of it away. Daniel quickly sunk into a state of despair, whilst Hannah recommended that whatever it was Daniel had locked up in his mind, he let it out.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #2" />

[[File:ACTF_2_Legion_CPS_014.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Cross' mirror drawing of [[the Staff]].]]
===Finding a purpose===
{{Quote|Hannah… it's okay … I saw everything… I saw the shape of time. I know my purpose, I understand what I have to do… I have to find the Mentor.|Daniel Cross, after his hallucination|Assassin's Creed: The Fall}}
After a brief discussion about her role in the Order and the rigging of the upcoming election, Hannah asked if there was anything about his hallucinations that he remembered. Rising to his feet, Daniel walked up to the window and drew the figure of [[the Staff]] into the condensation. At this moment, Paul Bellamy burst into the room. Approaching the other two, Bellamy said that he had just gotten off the phone with [[Bill Miles]], and that according to his records a small team had been sent to Tunguska in 1908, though only one survived the mission. The survivor, Daniel's great-grandfather, had eventually headed to America. After hearing the name "Nikolai Orelov", Cross once against started to hallucinate, this time on Nikolai's mission to retrieve the Staff from Tunguska. Bellamy urged Daniel to let them know what was going through his head, only to receive a right-hook from Daniel.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #2" />

Daniel fled the apartment and made his way onto the rooftops, all the while continue to see the events of 1908 transpire in his mind. He was pursued by both Bellamy and Hannah, who implored him to come down from the rooftops with them. As his vision reached its climax, Daniel's mind was flooded with a wide array of images; [[Sixth Apple|the Apple]], [[Nikola Tesla]], [[Eden]] and his own birth. He collapsed to the floor but was hurriedly cradled by Hannah Mueller; Daniel assured her that he was alright, saying that he had finally found his purpose: he had to find [[The Mentor (2000)|the Mentor]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #2" />

===A fateful quest===
[[File:The Fall.jpg|thumb|180px|right|Daniel performs a [[Leap of Faith]] after assassinating [[The Mentor (2000)|the mentor]].]]
Over the next two years Daniel searched the globe for clues to The Mentor's whereabouts, visiting every single Assassin camp in the process. At each location, he appealed to his fellow Assassins for the support and guidance. On November 5th, 2000, Daniel Cross finally got his wish. Whilst refreshing himself in his apartment, Daniel was accosted by at least two masked individuals, who after a brief struggle manage to inject a sedative into Cross' neck. The next day Cross awoke to find himself in the Mentor's [[Dubai]] facility.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #3" />

Although at first unsure where he was, Daniel quickly worked out who it was he was speaking with. Daniel learned that his progress had been watched carefully by the Grand Master, who knew about Daniel's visions, and that he was seen to be a unique asset to the Order. The Mentor then explained how the title of "Mentor", as well as the sum total of their knowledge, was passed on from the predecessor, revealing to Daniel that he intended for him to be his eventual successor. He further went on to explain how the Order itself had changed its way of operating and no longer simply killed those who became too powerful or greedy.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #3" />

The Mentor then passed on his own hidden blade to Daniel, commenting on how they were mostly ceremonial in the modern era, but still in working condition. As soon as the hidden blade was given to him, Daniel felt as if he was made to use it. Putting it upon his forearm, Daniel suddenly recalled the impulse that had been embedded into his subconscious by [[Warren Vidic]] during his time as Subject 4. Daniel acted upon this impulse and murdered the Mentor. He immediatlly regretted his actions, unsure of why exactly he had done such a thing. Upon hearing voices from outside the room, Daniel [[Leap of Faith|leaped]] through the glass windows, out of the tower into the sea below.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #3" />

===Homecoming===
[[File:Animus (2000).jpg|thumb|left|245px|Cross using the Animus.]]
{{Quote|I admit, I felt a certain sense of almost fatherly pride, seeing our boy grown and carrying on our work. Indeed, any lingering attachment to his deceased parents has dissolved and he has come to regard Abstergo as his home.|An email to [[Alan Rikkin]], from [[Warren Vidic]]|Assassin's Creed: The Fall}}
On November 21st, Daniel eventually made his way back to Abstergo Industries research facility in Philadelphia. Retrieving the necessary information from him, Abstergo began mobilizing its strike forces in preparation for their attack.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall - Issue #3" />

As soon as he had arrived, Daniel demanded he be returned to the [[Animus]], though it was only after an attack on an "unfortunate secretary" that Warren Vidic became convinced of his urgency.

67.53.64.100: Created page with "i want ACIII to take place during Desmond's time, where he finally stops hiding from Abstergo Industries and fights back, i would like guns as well but pretty much like Uncharted..."

i want ACIII to take place during Desmond's time, where he finally stops hiding from Abstergo Industries and fights back, i would like guns as well but pretty much like Uncharted 2 gameplay, the ability to even counter attack with them, like with the crossbow in AC:B, yes even have close range combat was well, desmond should also be able to carry portalbe rifles, like the type you take apart, put it in a case or backpack, then when your ready take it out, put it together and shoot, and when doing leaps of faith, lets have dumpsters, seriously who would put hay in a modern time era out on the streets? one last thing for combat, when you jump of a high building, have a paracute and be able to shoot and air assassinate from it as well, that would be badass

if we are to buy armor, the armor will be removed once it gets destroyed, but you can keep it and repair it later on, and the abilty that we all want, REMOVE THE ARMOR!!!! we should like be able to even customize the armor with dyes and designes, even have the ability to upload a picture from your game console and put it on there.

we also should have the abilty to customize desmond's appearance, with sunglasses, different types of hoodies, jackets, shirts, shoes, pants, necklaces and watches and even mouth bandanas as well.

thats what i want in ACIII

i would like a feature in which you can customize

Eagle Vision

2011-03-02T15:45:39Z

67.53.64.100: /* Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood */

'''Eagle Vision''' is a supernatural ability that certain lineages of [[Assassins]] possess, like those of [[Marcus Junius Brutus]] and [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]. The user is able to instinctively sense how people and objects relate to him, which manifests as a colored glowing (much like an aura would in a person's "mind's eye"). This ability is known to only be accessible to the descendants and bloodlines of the [[humans]] that paired with [[Those Who Came Before]].

==''[[Assassin's Creed]]''==
[[File:Eagle_vision.jpg|thumb|300px|Desmond identifying Lucy as an ally and Vidic as an enemy through Eagle Vision.]]
To use Eagle Vision, the player must press the Head button. Depending on [[Controls|control settings]], the Head button will most likely be either [[File:PlayStationTriangle.svg]] (for PlayStation 3), Y (for Xbox 360), or E (for PC default layout). In addition, the [[Synchronization]] bar must be at its current maximum capacity, otherwise pressing the Head button will instead result in a first-person view with no extra benefits.

At the end of ''Assassin's Creed'', Desmond [[Bleeding Effect|gains the ability]] to use Eagle Vision outside of the [[Animus]]. He sees [[Lucy Stillman]] (a fellow Assassin) glowing blue and [[Warren Vidic]] (a [[Templar]]) glowing red. Using Eagle Vision will also reveal [[Cryptic Messages|cryptic messages]] [[Subject 16]] wrote with his own blood in the [[Abstergo laboratory]].

===Legend===
*Red = Enemies/blood.
*Blue = Allies/hiding spots (''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' & ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'')
*White = Sources of information/hiding spots (''[[Assassin's Creed]]'') 
*Gold = Targets/person of interest. 

==''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''==
[[File:Glyph20_-_Scuola_Grande_di_San_Marco2--article_image.jpg|thumb|300px|Ezio finding one of the glyphs.]]
During his escape from [[Abstergo]], Desmond discovers a new application of this power; using it on a keypad which Lucy lacks a code to unlock reveals the fingerprints of previous users. A simple process of elimination thus enables him to unlock the door.

Ezio, like Altaïr, was able to use Eagle Vision. [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|His father]] and [[Mario Auditore|uncle]] also possessed this ability, and it is thought that [[La Volpe]] also possessed an advanced form of this skill as well, as it is claimed he can "look through walls". It is used to detect and scan [[Glyphs]] from Desmond's perspective.

In a glyph narration from Subject 16, he says, "Behold the Assassins, the children of two worlds! Why do we have these gifts? Because it's in our blood!" This implies that because Altaïr, Ezio, Desmond and Subject 16 all have Eagle Vision, their bloodline is connected to Those Who Came Before. This theory can be supported by the fact that both Subject 16's blood and light patterns in [[Vatican Vault|the vault]] glow when seen with Eagle Vision.

Also Eagle Vision can now be used in 3rd Person and while Ezio is moving, allowing it to be a lot more useful during missions.

==''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''==
When roaming [[Rome]] with Eagle Vision on, whenever you spot a [[feather]] or[[Flags| flag]], it will be marked on your [[map]], so you can pick it up whenever you want later.

Subject 16 has also hidden objects similar to Glyphs in ''Assassin's Creed II'' in Rome, called [[Rifts]]. These Rifts are small openings in structures that expel rays of light continuously. Unlike the Glyphs, the Rifts can only be seen while in Eagle vision, as turning it off will render the rift invisible, and otherwise inaccessible.

In the multiplayer mode a similar ability, Templar Vision, exists as an ability. The ability gives you a 3.5 seconds of eagle vision. Targets are blue while pursuers are red.

==Trivia==
===''Assassin's Creed''===
*An Assassin guard in the [[Kingdom]] can be seen as glowing red, but reacts as all other guards do. This guard was originally supposed to have been [[Jamal]], an Assassin who aided [[Masun]] in betraying the Brotherhood; however, the sequence where Altaïr assassinates him was cut from the final game, leaving him as a minor Easter-egg.
*In the original ''Assassin's Creed'', movement was prohibited while using Eagle Vision, and the player was required to be at maximum synchronization. This was changed, however, in succeeding games.
*''Assassin's Creed'' states that the Eagle Vision ability is actually just a visualization of the Assassin's observational skills, created by the Animus. However, as [[Juno]] later refers to Assassins seeing "the blue shimmer," the backstory for Eagle Vision was likely changed to be a real-world ability.

===''Assassin's Creed II''===
*[[Giovanni Auditore]] tells Ezio to "use his talent" to find a hidden door in his office, showing that Giovanni was aware of his son's ability.
*When using Eagle Vision, Ezio himself is marked with blue, indicating him as an ally to any others with the ability.

===''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''===
*Whilst using Eagle Vision and roaming [[Monteriggioni]] as Desmond Miles, a red trail is visible leading from the fountain with the [[Assassin insignia]], until the door to [[Mario Auditore]]'s study. The trail is colored similarly to the blood glyphs of Subject 16, and seems to be made up of many footprints that for a double helix (or DNA strand).
*In ''Assassins Creed: Brotherhood'', when outside of the Animus, there is sometimes a pause that cause allies to be gold for a few seconds.
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood dead enemies and allies don't glow their normal colors unlike in Assassins Creed II, they will just appear grey like civilains.

===Others===
*A mini-game in the ''Assassin's Creed'' room of PlayStation Home features an Eagle Vision puzzle, which, when completed, opens up the [[Hideout]].
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', [[Giovanni Borgia]] also displays this ability, and uses it to locate [[Francesco Vecellio]]. Francesco referred to it as using his "other eyes."

The '''Siege of Viana''' was a military conflict between the Kingdom of Navarre, whose forces were led by King [[John III of Navarre]] and [[Cesare Borgia]] commanding the Navarre army, and the Earldom of Lerin, under the command of [[wikipedia:Luis de Beaumont|Luis de Beaumont]].

==Inevitable matters==
{{Quote|It was the manner in which he said it. "Chains will not hold me."|Ezio to Leonardo about Cesare's arrest.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
In 1503, [[Rodrigo Borgia|Pope Alexander VI]], [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Master]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], died of poison courtesy of his son Cesare Borgia. With his death, [[Rome]] was fully liberated from the [[Borgia]]'s influential control. Subsequently following the murder of his father, Cesare was [[Fall of Cesare Borgia|arrested]] by the newly appointed Pope, [[Julius II]]. In 1504, Cesare was exiled to [[Spain]] and imprisoned at the Castle of La Mota, [[wikipedia:Medina del Campo|Medina del Campo]], for several years.

However, in 1506, Cesare escaped with the help of the Count of the city, who provided him with a rope. He dropped 70 meters to the ground, landing on top of a servant who had accompanied him, breaking his fall. Despite several fractured bones, Cesare was able to escape dressed in merchant clothes, and later joined his brother-in-law, King John III of Navarre, and to his luck, was granted command of the Navarrese army.

Following Cesare's arrest and exile to Spain, [[Ezio Auditore]] - now [[Grand Master of the Assassin's Order|''Il Mentore'']] of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] - was considering the possibility of Cesare's future threat. This he discussed at length with his closest friend, [[Leonardo da Vinci]], at the Assassin stronghold of [[Tiber Island]]. Ezio worried about the manner in which Cesare had claimed that chains would not imprison him for long, as well as his vow not to die by the hands of man. Leonardo then encouraged Ezio to use [[Sixth Apple|the Apple]], in order to see what would eventually become of Cesare.

[[File:Ezioleoapple.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Ezio and Leonardo, discussing whether or not to use the Apple.]]
Ezio proceeded to do so despite his initial protest and, upon gleaning information from the [[Piece of Eden]], immediately left Rome. As Ezio made his decision to leave, Leonardo questioned Ezio about the newly restored Order, to which Ezio replied by saying ''"I built this Brotherhood to last, with or without me."'' As he departed, Ezio encouraged Leonardo to accept his gift of a large amount of money, to supplement the artist's minuscule salary, and guaranteed that the two would see each other again.
{{-}}

==Viana under siege==
===Reunion===
[[File:Cesarebladeattack.jpg|thumb|left|258px|Ezio's first assassination attempt on Cesare.]]
{{Quote|Kill him! Kill the Assassin! Tear the ''maldito bastardo'' (old fucker) to pieces!|Cesare commanding his guards to kill Ezio before fleeing.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
By March of 1507, Ezio finally tracked Cesare down to [[Viana]]. However, by the time of his arrival, the siege on the town and [[Viana Castle|castle]] was already well underway. As the Navarre and Viana infantry clashed on the battlefield, and the cannons destroyed the town and surrounding countryside, Ezio wasted no time and immediately charged into the fray.

Soon, he located Cesare alongside his men in the midst of the battle, fighting the Viana infantry. Without hesitation, Ezio lunged towards Cesare with his [[Hidden Blade|blade]] at the ready. However, Cesare was able to hold off the Assassin's attack, demanding to know how Ezio had discovered him. Ezio quickly claimed that the Apple Cesare had stolen from [[Mario Auditore]] had led him there.

Despite Cesare holding off Ezio's killing blow, Ezio eventually gained the upper-hand and overpowered Cesare, striking him across the throat. However, Cesare's [[armor]] protected him, and he managed to push Ezio aside. As he fled, he commanded his soldiers to attack, though Ezio fended them off with little effort. As he attempted to pursue Cesare, however, Ezio was stunned by a wave of cannon balls that impacted the battlefield all around him.

After regaining consciousness amidst several corpses of enemy soldiers, Ezio mounted a nearby [[horse]] and pursued his nemesis.

===Countryside chaos===
[[File:308px-Brotherhood_0007_Layer-4.jpg|thumb|308px|Ezio on the Viana battlefront.]]
{{quote|He once ruled all of Roma. I heard an Assassin killed his supporters. Great rulers rise and fall like leaves in the wind.|A Viana guard talking about Cesare's downfall.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
Riding through the Viana warzone on horseback, Ezio charged through the battlefield in an attempt to reach the ruins of what was once an olive field, however, cannon balls eventually killed his horse, forcing him to travel by foot. As Ezio made his way through the outskirts of the city, the chaos only grew worse, with the Navarre siege towers evidently closing in on the town. As Ezio drew closer to the crumbling town, making his way past the bodies of slaughtered soldiers, he eventually arrived at the olive field ruins, where an infantry of Viana soldiers had set up camp.

[[File:Ezioattacksviana.jpg|thumb|left|254px|Ezio fighting off the Viana infantry.]]
[[Assassination Techniques|Stealthily killing]] any patrolling soldiers and dispatching any who challenged him, Ezio also overheard the soldiers speaking of Cesare's downfall, and the Assassin responsible. Upon reaching the peak of the hill, Ezio caught sight of Cesare, accompanied by several guards, entering the besieged town. As he did so, a woman rushed to Cesare's side, seeking assistance in looking for her injured son, but she was promptly killed and discarded by the Spanish General's men, with Cesare continuing to the city fortress.
{{-}}

===Onward assault===
[[File:Siegetowerleap.jpg|thumb|left|254px|Ezio performing a leap of faith from the burning siege tower.]]
{{dialogue|Ezio|Cesare! The walls surround you. There is nowhere to run.|Cesare|Come then, Ezio!|Ezio and Cesare, before their final battle.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
Following some distance behind, Ezio continued onwards to the town, while the Navarre infantry reinforced their assault, attacking the city guards and torturing the civilians. Ezio [[freerunning|made his way up]] a small slope and along the rooftops, avoiding the chaos below and dealing only with those that got in his way. Upon reaching the town square, he intervened in the battle, and fought off both the Navarre and Viana infantry before proceeding to climb a burning siege tower, in hope of proceeding onto the castle battlements.

[[File:Cesarechallange.jpg|thumb|258px|Cesare preparing for his final battle with Ezio.]]
As he climbed the interior of the burning siege machine - which had sustained heavy damage from cannon fire - Ezio was forced to perform a [[Leap of Faith]] off the top once he had reached it, due to the tower crumbling under its own weight. Landing safely, he began to search for an alternative route onto the walls. He arrived at the foot of the castle, and was immediately attacked by several waves of soldiers from both sides of the conflict. Despite being outnumbered, Ezio managed to successfully fend them off, and then discovered another siege tower that had managed to breach the castle walls.

Before proceeding, Ezio noticed Cesare and his men battling across the ramparts, indicating that it would only be a matter of time before the Navarre forces could secure victory, and secure a major hand in Cesare's re-taking of Rome. Successfully climbing the tower and defending himself from the attacking soldiers, Ezio ran across the battlements to face Cesare directly.
{{-}}

==Final confrontation==
[[File:Secondattackviana.jpg|thumb|left|252px|Ezio battling Cesare with the hidden blade.]]
{{dialogue|Cesare|You cannot kill me. No man can murder me!|Ezio|Then I leave you in the hands of Fate!|Cesare's final words to Ezio before his death|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
Ezio finally reached Cesare, calling out for his attention and warning him that there was nowhere to run. After killing his attackers, Cesare immediately challenged the Assassin to a final duel.

As the siege raged all around them, the two men battled face-to-face for the first and last time. Cesare skillfully attacked Ezio with his sword and pistol, dodging his incoming blows and countering his attacks, while also periodically calling in waves of Navarre soldiers to reinforce him. Despite this, Ezio's own speed and skill were enough to defeat the soldiers and overpower Cesare by breaking off the pieces of his armor that protected him from a direct stab from the hidden blade.

[[File:Cesarefaith1.jpg|thumb|254px|Cesare seconds before being thrown from the Castel walls.]]
After a lengthy battle, Ezio eventually managed to pin Cesare down beneath him with his hidden blade at the Templar's throat. Cesare then claimed that the throne was his right, to which Ezio responded that a leader could not merely take what he wished, and that a true one ''"empowers the people he leads."'' Cesare then declared that he would lead mankind into a [[New World Order|new world]], but Ezio rebuked him, wishing that no one would ever remember the name of Cesare Borgia.

Enraged and knowing his death was inevitable, Cesare repeatedly shouted that no mortal man could kill him, thus Ezio then declared he would leave Cesare in the ''"hands of fate"'' and threw him off the castle wall to his death. Subsequently, the siege concluded, and Cesare's body was buried in a marble tomb beneath the altar of the Church of Santa Maria with the inscription: ''"Here lies in little earth one who was feared by all, who held peace and war in his hand."''

==Aftermath==
After the death of Cesare, Ezio then returned to Rome and was reunited with the other Assassins. Ultimately deciding that the Apple was too dangerous for the hands of man, Ezio sealed the Apple away in a [[Colosseum Vault|Vault]] beneath the [[Santa Maria Aracoeli]], near the [[Colosseum]].

Armor of Brutus

2011-02-16T16:09:24Z

67.53.64.100: /* Trivia */

[[File:Armour_of_Romulus.jpg|thumb|250px|Ezio wearing the Armor of Brutus.]]
{{Quote|I leave my family's armor here, one of the finest sets ever made. May you who finds it receive strength in battle.| Marcus Junius Brutus in the first [[Scrolls of Romulus|Scroll of Romulus]].}}

The '''Armor of Brutus''' is an unbreakable set of armor available in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', once in the possession of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Marcus Junius Brutus]]. The armor was the greatest possession of a mysterious cult called the [[Followers of Romulus]], as they believed that it had been worn by Romulus himself (this, however, was a lie told to them by [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] Captains). The armor is unlocked by obtaining all the Romulus keys from the [[Scrolls of Romulus]] in the six [[Lairs of Romulus|secret lairs]] spread throughout the city of [[Rome]].

It is the strongest armor in-game and is found alongside the [[Dagger of Brutus]]. Like the [[Armor of Altaïr]], the Armor of Brutus has 25 health diamonds, and cannot be dyed nor broken.

==Appearance==
[[File:Armorofbrutusgame.jpg|thumb|200px|The armor in the selection screen.]]
The armor looks much bulkier than [[Ezio Auditore]]'s [[Master Assassin]] [[Ezio's Robes|robes]] due to the fur cloak that is padded along the pauldron and around the neck of the hood. It is unknown when the fur was added, but it is implied to have been a tribute to Romulus by his Followers. There is a silver eagle on the right shoulder that holds the cape up, as well as on the waist area where the [[Assassin insignia]] would normally be - which has been relocated to be engraved right above it, on the mid-abdomen section of the armor. A second insignia is engraved onto the back of the armor as well.

The armor comes with a grey, short-sleeved robe that is worn underneath the breastplate. The bottom of the robes are in three layers, each one on top of the other, and come down to Ezio's knees. However, these layers act in a similar fashon to a kilt, completely covering the legs, whereas the Master Assassin robes part at the sides and front-to-back to keep movement unencumbered. This does not affect mobility in the game, however.

The armor set consists of both metal and leather. The chest armor and spaulders are mostly metal, while the vambraces and greaves are completely leather. The vambraces and greaves are also very plain-looking pieces of armor, having very little design compared to the rest of the armor. Unlike the vambraces bought in the game, the Vambraces of Brutus cover both of Ezio's forearms instead of only his right. The hood and cape, which appear to be connected, are colored red with a golden trim on the cape.

Improvised weapon

2011-02-16T14:22:16Z

67.53.64.100: /* Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood */

In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', besides the purchasable "regular" [[weapons]] and the two-handed weapons such as [[spears and halberds]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] can also use '''improvised weapons'''. These weapons include:

==''Assassin's Creed II''==
*Brooms
*Hoes
*Rakes
*Fishing poles
*Pitchforks
*Violins (the stringed instruments that are used by certain Minstrels, only available during [[Carnevale]])
*The parts of a broken spear (upper part acts like a sword, lower part like a mace)
*Invisible sword (uses the unarmed slot, swings like a sword when attacking, and allows only instant kills and counters)

==''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''==
*Rakes
*Meat Cleaver
*Brooms
*Mallets
*Shovels
*Pickaxes
*Pitchforks
*Fishing Poles
*Butcher Knives

The above can be picked up like one-handed weapons after they are dropped by [[civilians]] or [[guards]]. Civilians will drop what they're carrying once Ezio gently pushes or runs into them, when a fight starts, or if you throw money near them. The "weapons" are then discarded once a fight is finished, or once Ezio enters a [[Free Running]] sequence (note that when you instant kill a civilian carrying such an improper weapon it will disappear, at least most of the time, instant kills are assassinations, bullets, crossbow bolts etc.)

These "weapons" act mainly as hammers or maces, using the same animations and sound effects. They cannot be kept, and their attacks are sometimes nonsensical. For example, Ezio can slice an enemy's throat with a broom after a grab, exactly the way he does with a sword, and the butcher knife uses the sounds and animations of a warhammer (despite the fact that the blade never even touches the enemy).

To use the invisible sword glitch, simply use a spear counter on a two-handed guard, and try punching, you will notice that Ezio does the sword animation when swinging or blocking.

==Achievements==
In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', the "Spring Cleaning" [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood achievements|achievement]]/trophy can be earned by killing a guard with a broom.

==Trivia==
*Some improper weapons CAN be kept with a glitch, but will be lost when going to another city or randomly during excessive combat. To do this, you must have an empty sword sheath, which can be achieved by letting a [[brute]] smash your sword or mace away. Afterwards, simply pick up one of the improper weapons, and you may be able to keep them. ( this goes for ''Assasins Creed II'', for ''Brotherhood'' look in the above section)
**An alternate way to empty your sword sheath is to go to the [[Monteriggioni]] Training Ring and practice "Picking Up Weapons." Ezio's sword will immediately drop out of his scabbard automatically.
*Guards can also use these improvised weapons, as long as you disarm them and there is no other weapon available. They will pick up any improper weapon except the invisible sword (as this is merely a glitch). It's easier to make guards use them during DNA Sequence 1, as guards do not yet have weapons.
*When you rescue [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]] in the ''Assassin's Creed II ''memory "[[Caged Fighter|''Caged Fighter'']]", he uses a broom to fight until he picks up a proper weapon from a fallen guard.
*The violin sounds like a sword, but acts like a mace.

{{Quote|Father, do you not see? I control all of this. If I want to live, I live. If I want to take, I take. If I want you to die, you die!|Cesare Borgia to his father, 1503.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
'''Cesare Borgia''' (13 September 1475 - 12 March 1507) was the son of [[Rodrigo Borgia]] and a nemesis of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]]. Like his father, he was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]]. Eventually, he became Captain General of the [[Papacy|Papal]] armies, though he secretly plotted against his father to take over [[Rome]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Cesare Borgia was born in Rome in 1475, to Rodrigo Borgia, the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order]], and his long-term mistress [[wikipedia:Vannozza dei Cattanei|Vannozza dei Cattanei]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

At age 18, Cesare became a [[Cardinals|Cardinal]], while his older brother, [[Juan Borgia the Younger|Juan]] (who was also Rodrigo's favorite) became Captain General. Unsatisfied with his life as a Cardinal and jealous of his brother's position and power, he had Juan killed by the [[Courtesans|courtesan]] [[Fiora Cavazza]]. He later took his place as Captain General, thereby becoming one of the most powerful men in Italy.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Ascendance">''[[Assassin's Creed: Ascendance]]''</ref>

===Becoming a Templar leader===
In 1496, when his father waged war with the Orsini Family to seize their territory, Cesare joined the battle. Among the enemy's ranks was [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]], in secret an [[Assassins|Assassin]]. When Bartolomeo's resources were down to three fortresses, Cesare cut off his supplies. Just when victory seemed within reach, Carlo Orsini arrived with his army and reinforced Bartolomeo, even wounding Cesare in the face.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

===Siege of Monteriggioni===
[[File:Apple.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cesare Borgia at Monteriggioni's gates, holding the [[Apple of Eden]].]]
{{Quote|We've had too much bloodshed. I think a cleansing is in order. So, consider this an invitation from my family... to yours!|Cesare Borgia to Ezio Auditore, just before killing Mario Auditore, 1500.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

In January 1500, Cesare led [[Siege of Monteriggioni|an assault]] on [[Monteriggioni]], headquarters of the Assassins in [[Italy]] in order to eliminate the Auditore family, who were the leaders of the Assassins. Besieging the city, Cesare's forces overwhelmed the fortress defenders and handed to him [[Sixth Apple|the Apple]], [[Caterina Sforza]], and [[Mario Auditore]], current [[Grand Master of the Assassin Order]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

The beaten Assassin walked through the gates of Monteriggioni before collapsing onto the ground, followed by Cesare and his allies; including his sister, [[Lucrezia Borgia|Lucrezia]], [[Micheletto Corella]], the [[Octavian de Valois]], and [[Juan Borgia the Elder|Juan Borgia]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Cesare sheathed his sword and spoke out to Ezio himself, who had seen the Borgia's entrance and was running across the rooftops to aid Mario. The Borgia Captain General spoke of how the Pope had told him of the Assassins and Apple. He then turned and grabbed to the Baron de Valois' firearm from him, a pistol that Ezio's good friend, [[Leonardo da Vinci]], had been forced to fashion for them. Cesare stated that there had been too much bloodshed on both sides, and that a ''"cleansing was in order."'' Raising the pistol into the air, Cesare "invited" Ezio to come and face him in Rome, and killed Mario with a shot from the firearm.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Ezio was then shot down and wounded by a team of [[arquebusier]]s and the battle was won. With Monteriggioni in ruins, Cesare and his army returned to Rome with their prize.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

===War in Rome===
[[File:Cesare_and_the_Papal_Guard.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cesare speaking to the [[Papal Guard]].]]
{{quote|He is ambitious, ruthless, cruel beyond imagining. The laws of men mean nothing to him. The powerful Orsini and Colonna families have been brought to kneel at his feet, and the King of France stands at his side.|[[Niccolò Machiavelli]], regarding Cesare Borgia.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

By 1500, Cesare had Rome under his iron fist as commander of the Papal army, though he and his father occasionally disagreed on his choices. He used [[Borgia towers]] and their captains to keep control over the five districts of Rome, as he was often away for extended periods of time to oversee the advancement of his army, in a bid to unite all of Italy under his rule.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Upon Ezio's arrival in Rome, Cesare was first seen at the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]], conversing with his three generals about their plans, where he told them to play along with his father's ''"tired old man's club"'' but to remember who they really served. He later shared a romantic moment with his sister, before asking if their father had considered the funds requested by his Banker. He then left the Castel for [[Romagna]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

In 1502, Cesare continued to make use of Leonardo da Vinci's intellect, forcing him to design several [[War Machines|war machines]] for his army. However, all of Leonardo's creations were stolen and destroyed by Ezio Auditore, in secret, at Leonardo's own behest.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

In 1503, Cesare attended Juan Borgia's pagan party, where he gave a brief speech on a soon to be united Italy. After Cesare commanded the party to begin, Rodrigo reminded him that they had not agreed to conquer Italy. However, Cesare stated that ''he'' was now in control, although not officially, and simply told his father to enjoy himself. Later that year, he also ordered Micheletto Corella to kill [[Francesco Troche]], whom he believed was a traitor, as well as the actor [[Pietro Rossi]], Lucrezia's secret lover.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

In August of 1503, Cesare and his father Rodrigo argued over the former's insatiable lust for power. Rodrigo commented that he had given Cesare all he had, yet his son was never satisfied. Cesare demanded that his father give him the Apple of Eden, but Rodrigo refused. At this point, Lucrezia barged in, crying out to her brother that their father was attempting to poison him with the bowl of apples he had left out. An angry Cesare responded by charging Rodrigo and shoving the apple he had been eating into his mouth. The poison did its work and Rodrigo died within seconds. Cesare then demanded the Apple of Eden's whereabouts from Lucrezia, who confessed under much pressure. Unfortunately, Ezio beat Cesare to the [[Basilica di San Pietro]] (where the Apple was hidden), and retrieved the [[Piece of Eden]] before him.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

[[File:CesareArrest.jpg|thumb|254px|Cesare being dragged away by Papal guards.]]
Cesare's rule met a downward spiral from there. As a final stab from his father, Cesare had consumed enough of the poison to leave him weak for months. While he recovered, Ezio and the other Assassins used the Apple to dwindle his remaining forces, while the Vatican meanwhile fully rejected Cesare's request for support, seeing the Borgia's money as "tainted."<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Cesare sent Micheletto to retrieve his armies from the battlefield in order to reclaim Rome, however, he was confronted by the highest-ranking Assassins as he awaited his return. As the last of his followers fell, [[Fabio Orsini]] arrived with the Papal Guard and a warrant for Cesare's arrest by the order of [[wikipedia:Pope Julius II|Pope Julius II]]. Cesare was taken away, imprisoned, and later exiled to [[Spain]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

===Siege of Viana and Death===
[[File:Acbrother_b09_097.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Cesare preparing to fight Ezio in [[Viana]].]]
{{Quote|I will lead mankind to a new world! You cannot kill me! No man can murder me!|Cesare Borgia's last words, 1507.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
Cesare spent several years in prison, until a Count gave him a rope with which he was able to escape. He fell 70 meters to the ground, landing on top of a servant who had accompanied him. Despite several fractured bones, Cesare was able to escape dressed in a merchant's clothes, and later joined his brother-in-law, [[John III of Navarre]], in Spain.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

In March of 1507, Cesare tried to regain his lost honor by commandeering John III's vast army during the [[Siege of Viana|Siege]] of [[Viana]], after which, should he be victorious, he would regain the support of the French. However, unbeknownst to him, Ezio caught wind of Cesare's involvement in the battle and set out for Viana.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

During the siege, Ezio located and charged Cesare on the battlefield, though he held him back just long enough to dodge Ezio's [[hidden blade]] and flee. Ezio's pursuit was delayed by several cannonball impacts that stunned him, and incapacitated the other soldiers in the area.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

[[File:Komplettloesung-Assassin-s-Creed-Brotherhood-Cesare-Borgia-745x419-d1a5f15651026359.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Cesare's final moments.]]
Ezio soon caught up to him on the outskirts of the castle walls, where Cesare had his soldiers kill a [[Civilians|civilian]] woman, who was crying for him to help her son, who had been injured. Ezio eventually faced Cesare on the walls of [[Viana Castle|Viana's Castle]] and fought against him, with Cesare wielding a sword and a ''pistola''. Though Cesare attacked with speed and skill, while also periodically calling reinforcing troops, Ezio nevertheless defeated him, eventually pinning him to the ground. When Cesare vowed not to die at the hands of man, Ezio declared that he would leave Cesare ''"in the hands of Fate,"'' and threw him off of the castle wall to his death.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Personality==
Cesare was born into the Templar Order and, like many of his other siblings, was raised by his father into his personal weapon. However, Cesare was naturally an aggressive and ambitious person, and would do anything - including having his own family or friends murdered - in order to obtain power.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Ascendance" />

Cesare maintained an incestuous relationship with his sister, Lucrezia Borgia, and promised her that she would be his queen when he ruled Italy. As such, he frequently descended into jealous rage due to her many dalliances with other men (who she would normally woo in order to spite her unfaithful brother). However, in his attempts to discover the location of the Apple, he physically assaulted her, answering her tearful question if he had ever loved her by saying, ''"You are my sister, nothing more."''<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Over time, Cesare deluded himself into thinking that no mortal man could kill him, and that he would lead mankind into a new era; a belief that he held onto until the moment of his death.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Final words==
'''Cesare''': ''The throne was mine!'' 

'''Ezio''': ''Wanting something does not make it your right.'' 

'''Cesare''': ''What do you know!?'' 

'''Ezio''': ''That a true leader empowers the people he rules.'' 

'''Cesare''': ''I will lead mankind into a new world!'' 

'''Ezio''': Che nessuno recordi il tuo nome. ''(May no one remember your name.)'' Requiescat in pace. ''(Rest in peace.)'' 

'''Cesare''': ''You cannot kill me! No man can murder me!'' 

'''Ezio''': ''Then I leave you in the hands of Fate!''

==Trivia==
*His given name "Cesare" is pronounced in Italian as "Chay-sar-ay." It is the Italian variation of the name Caesar.
*Historically, it is said that [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] greatly admired Cesare. However, in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', while Machiavelli does respect his ability to enforce his will, he also seeks to eliminate Cesare and his [[House of Borgia|family members]] alongside Ezio.
*Cesare's comments about bloodshed and the need for cleansing may highlight the origin of the name [[Abstergo]], which is Latin for "I cleanse."
*When interacting with [[Shaun Hastings]] during Sequence 8, [[Desmond Miles]] asks him if there are any good stories about Cesare, to which Shaun replies with ''"Are you kidding me?"'', and goes on to list Cesare's many notorious acts.
*Despite being shown to be adept with a [[Crossbow]] in both ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Ascendance]]'', Cesare never wields the weapon in ''Brotherhood''.
*In [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|the novelization of ''Brotherhood'']], Cesare's face had been apparently deformed by the "New Disease," and he had resorted to wearing a mask. However, in the game, he is never seen with any said deformity or mask.
*While playing the memory "An Apple a Day" Cesare can be seen sprinting towards the Passeto tu Borgo out-of-cutscene, and appears to ghost through two iron portcullises.
*When replaying the memory in Viana, after the cutscene in which Ezio drops Cesare from the Castel walls, his body can be seen when looking down from the battlements before the memory fades out.
*According to the ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' novel, Cesare excelled at bullfighting. Machiavelli believed he showed such an interest in the sport due to its origins in Spain, and his aggressive nature.

[[File:Komplettloesung-Assassin-s-Creed-Brotherhood-Cesare-Borgia-745x419-d1a5f15651026359.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Cesare's final moments.]]
Ezio soon caught up to him on the outskirts of the castle walls, where Cesare had his soldiers kill a [[Civilians|civilian]] woman, who was crying for him to help her son, who had been injured. Ezio eventually faced Cesare on the walls of [[Viana Castle|Viana's Castle]] and fought against him, with Cesare wielding a sword and a ''pistola''. Though Cesare attacked with speed and skill, while also periodically calling reinforcing troops, Ezio nevertheless defeated him, eventually pinning him to the ground. When Cesare vowed not to die at the hands of man, Ezio declared that he would leave Cesare ''"in the hands of Fate,"'' and threw him off of the castle wall to his death.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Personality==
Cesare was born into the Templar Order and, like many of his other siblings, was raised by his father into his personal weapon. However, Cesare was naturally an aggressive and ambitious person, and would do anything - including having his own family or friends murdered - in order to obtain power.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Ascendance" />

Cesare maintained an incestuous relationship with his sister, Lucrezia Borgia, and promised her that she would be his queen when he ruled Italy. As such, he frequently descended into jealous rage due to her many dalliances with other men (who she would normally woo in order to spite her unfaithful brother). However, in his attempts to discover the location of the Apple, he physically assaulted her, answering her tearful question if he had ever loved her by saying, ''"You are my sister, nothing more."''<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Over time, Cesare deluded himself into thinking that no mortal man could kill him, and that he would lead mankind into a new era; a belief that he held onto until the moment of his death.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Final words==
'''Cesare''': ''The throne was mine!'' 

'''Ezio''': ''Wanting something does not make it your right.'' 

'''Cesare''': ''What do you know!?'' 

'''Ezio''': ''That a true leader empowers the people he rules.'' 

'''Cesare''': ''I will lead mankind into a new world!'' 

'''Ezio''': Che nessuno recordi il tuo nome. ''(May no one remember your name.)'' Requiescat in pace. ''(Rest in peace.)'' 

'''Cesare''': ''You cannot kill me! No man can murder me!'' 

'''Ezio''': ''Then I leave you in the hands of Fate!''

==Trivia==
*His given name "Cesare" is pronounced in Italian as "Chay-sar-ay." It is the Italian variation of the name Caesar.
*Historically, it is said that [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] greatly admired Cesare. However, in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', while Machiavelli does respect his ability to enforce his will, he also seeks to eliminate Cesare and his [[House of Borgia|family members]] alongside Ezio.
*Cesare's comments about bloodshed and the need for cleansing may highlight the origin of the name [[Abstergo]], which is Latin for "I cleanse."
*When interacting with [[Shaun Hastings]] during Sequence 8, [[Desmond Miles]] asks him if there are any good stories about Cesare, to which Shaun replies with ''"Are you kidding me?"'', and goes on to list Cesare's many notorious acts.
*Despite being shown to be adept with a [[Crossbow]] in both ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Ascendance]]'', Cesare never wields the weapon in ''Brotherhood''.
*In [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|the novelization of ''Brotherhood'']], Cesare's face had been apparently deformed by the "New Disease," and he had resorted to wearing a mask. However, in the game, he is never seen with any said deformity or mask.
*While playing the memory "An Apple a Day" Cesare can be seen sprinting towards the Passeto tu Borgo out-of-cutscene, and appears to ghost through two iron portcullises.
*When replaying the memory in Viana, after the cutscene in which Ezio drops Cesare from the Castel walls, his body can be seen when looking down from the battlements before the memory fades out.
*According to the ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' novel, Cesare excelled at bullfighting. Machiavelli believed he showed such an interest in the sport due to its origins in Spain, and his aggressive nature.

[[File:Altair_Apple.jpg|thumb|300px|Altaïr holding the Apple of Eden to calm a mob.]]
The presumed '''Sixth Apple''' is the focal [[Piece of Eden]] throughout the ''[[Assassin's Creed series]]''. It is never issued a number, unlike the other five Apples described in [[Subject 16]]'s [[Glyphs|Glyph]] puzzles. The Sixth Apple was originally found in the [[Ark of the Covenant]] in [[Solomon's Temple]] by [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] and [[Malik A-Sayf]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> It is a piece of ancient but technologically advanced equipment created by [[Those Who Came Before]] to manipulate their workforce, [[Humans|human-kind]].

'''Use:''' Designed to create illusions and to control human minds, and can be used in conjunction with [[the Staff]] (presumably as can other Apples). Also contains knowledge of many technologies used by Those Who Came Before.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

'''Status:''' Hidden by [[Ezio Auditore]] in a [[the Vault|First Civilization Vault]] below the [[Santa Maria Aracoeli]] in [[Rome]] between 1503 and 1507. Uncovered by [[Desmond Miles]] in [[Modern Times|October 2012]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==History==
{{main|The Apple's Journey}}
After escaping [[Vaticano District|the Vatican]], Ezio and Mario took to the rooftops and made their way to a high tower overlooking the [[Tiber River]]. Once there, Ezio withdrew the Apple of Eden from his cloak and prepared to drop it into the river, however, he hesitated. Acknowledging that destroying such a powerful artifact wasn’t a decision to be taken lightly, Mario offered to keep the Apple safe until Ezio had made up his mind, and the two rode back to their base of operations in the fortress town of [[Monteriggioni]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

During the [[Siege of Monteriggioni]], Mario was killed by Cesare Borgia, who took the Apple for himself. Four years later, Ezio managed to retrieve the Apple from where it had been hidden by Rodrigo Borgia, in St. Peter's Basilica. He used it to demilitarize Cesare's army, and look into the future to locate Cesare in [[Viana]] in 1507. Realizing the power of the Apple, Ezio hid the Apple in a [[Santa Maria Aracoeli Vault|First Civilization Vault]] beneath the [[Santa Maria Aracoeli]], in central Rome.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Abilities==
[[File:Al_Mualim_9_copies.jpg|thumb|250px|Al Mualim creating copies of himself, while restricting Altaïr's movements.]]
In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', the Apple is used by Al Mualim to coerce the members of the Assassin Order into obeying his will, namely, killing Altaïr. The Apple is also used for neural paralysis, the creation of up to nine hologram doubles, and the partial blindness of any target. At the end of the game, the Apple reveals a map of the world indicating the locations of various Pieces of Eden.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', Ezio used the Apple in Rome to dispel the effects of the Staff, as well as to create four hologram doubles. While these doubles could not deal damage, they were able to distract Rodrigo during their battle. After Rodrigo stole the Apple, he combined it with the Staff of Eden to paralyze Ezio, then to create the key to [[The Vault]], which he claimed held a "god-felling weapon." In the vault, Minerva upgraded the Apple.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Ezio is briefly able to use the Apple as a weapon. By charging the Apple, a golden perimeter spreads around him, followed by a smaller, white perimeter; though these circles decrease slightly upon release. Enemies within the golden circle of effect will proceed to fight each other, while enemies in the white circle will fall to the ground in agony, which is depicted as a kill-by-insanity. The Apple can also be used in a counter-attack, where briefly activating its effects just as an enemy attacks results in an instant kill.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Using the Apple will drain the player's health, with a greater area of effect draining a greater amount of health; though health will recover faster over time. Whether this is due to overuse of the Apple, or of a desynchronization between Desmond's and Ezio's memories, is unknown.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Trivia==
* The Apple affects and can potentially kill almost anyone, including allies (such as [[Mercenaries|mercenaries]] and [[Apprentices|Assassin recruits]]) and [[civilians]].
* The Apple was mentioned iconically in many religious writings; most notably as the "fruit of knowledge" in the garden of Eden.
* A glitch occurs when holding the apple of eden and interacting with the pigeon coop simultaneously, Ezio would not be able to weild any weapon including the apple, to fix this, wait for the saving data process to finish, then you'll be select the apple of eden and weild it again, when you select it, a weird noise occurs like a Alien like voice.
