70.119.107.166: Romantic life section

Great news and thanks for the update. I just have one issue with Machiavelli - he would have only been 7 years old in 1476. I can overlook that though to work with da Vinci. --[[User:Maskim xul|Maskim xul]] 15:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

:The GameInformer article says the game takes place in 1476 and that you team up with Machiavelli. I had no clue that he would only be that young around that time. --[[User:Droginator1|Droginator1]]

::That is a strange flaw. I know he wont be that young due to his picture in the article, maybe one memory is in 1476, then the one with him is later? [[User:AC-42|AC-42]] 17:11, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

:::The game isnt ''all'' in 1476. The beginning is, and then you jump through Ezio's life until 1503. I'd assume you meet Machiavelli once he's a little older ;D [[User:Tobbsdasock|Tobbsdasock]] 16:50 21st November (GMT)
Upon looking in to the history of Florence round and about 1476, when Assassin's Creed II is purported to take place, there seems to be a wealth of juicy subject matter that could potentially be built into this game: that is, judging from the way history was handled in AC I. That is to point out, as Desmond observes in a conversation with Vidic, that there are some 'differences' in what we have learned to be true and what Altair experiences - first person. That's also something that Al Mualim points out to Altair - that most people don't bother to notice the difference between what we are told to be true and what we observe to be true. Presumably, the same may be said of whatever Ezio experiences.

We also have '''Lorenzo de Medici''' around at that time. Firenze or Florence is where Ezio is living and Lorenzo's turf. We may see Lorenzo in much the same fashion that we see King Richard I in AC I - in cut-out scenes - i.e., Ezio will observe and listen to him but not be able to interact. But that's okay, because there's a whole lot more going on there to sweeten the pot. History is bent already, with this aberration in Machiavelli's age. He may have been a child prodigy, but that's still too young to be giving Ezio advice in political matters. He may even serve as the AC II Al Mualim. Who knows? Afterall, he does have a bit of a reputation for being the master of manipulating people in any way possible - politically, socially, financially, etc. Even today, upper management types consider "The Prince", his most well known tome, necessary reading material. One could hope ;)

Lorenzo had some interesting allies. He also had a lot of enemies. There are two - one ally/one enemy in particular that stand out:

The ally that stands out in this period was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, '''Mehmet II''' - also known as ''el Fatih'', the Conqueror. He's the one who conquered Constantinople and ended the Byzantine Empire. His "beloved" was none other than '''Radu cel Frumos'''...the younger brother of '''Vlad III Dracul'''. Yes, ''that'' Vlad Dracul. At one time, both of them were 'guests' in the Sultan's court, as assurance for their father's good behavior ('''Vlad II'''). Vlad III later returned home, but Radu remained behind, being groomed to one day take his older brother's place on the throne of Walachia. Mehmet II sees to it that he does just that, and Vlad III dies in 1476...coincidentally. Very possibly assassinated. An interesting thought but doesn't seem likely Ezio would be the one. Does it?

The '''Pazzi''' family wanted the Medici's gone. ''They'' wanted to rule Florence. It's called '''the Pazzi Conspiracy'''. They were aided and abetted in their schemes by the '''Archbishop of Pisa''' and his patron '''Pope Sixtus the Fourth'''. Three assassins made an attempt on the lives of Lorenzo and his brother Giuliano, attacking them as they attended mass at the cathedral. The Archbishop was lynched. All the Pazzi's were put to death, as well as the three assassins. This all happened in 1478.

There was war, too - for while Lorenzo de Medici had managed to become allied with the Ottomans, Mehmet II was attempting to conquer a large part of the rest of Italy, including Venice. He had already declared himself the "King of Rome" or "Ceasar" in the early 1460's. Venice was the richest city on the Mediterranean and controlled much of the shipping in that sea.

*

As for Venice, the 'other' city involved in AC II, let's look at the most powerful man there - the Doge or Duke of Venice. At this time, this position is held by Andrea Vendramin, who also dies in 1478 - perhaps from the Plague. Andrea married off his six daughters in typically politically strategic fashion and was by all accounts a very rich man. However, not all of the Council of Forty-One agreed with his election to the title and seat. He was called "a cheesemonger" and the Council remained divided during his reign. He was buried in what was considered "the most lavish funerary monument in Renaissance Venice." To his defense, he may have been chosen exactly because he and his brother had heaped up the beginnings of their family fortunes by entering into several commercial maritime ventures in their youth. He understood commerce, shipping and how to make a profit. That and he had a lot of influence in the families of his sons-in-law's families.

Will any of these other people show up in AC II? Perhaps. Fifteenth century Florence and Venice were riddled with intrigues, assassinations and various other skullduggery. Poison rings and strange elixirs were just as popular as daggers for doing away with one's enemies...but the Hidden Blades (two of them) rule. --[[User:Maskim xul|Maskim xul]] 23:44, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

You know, there are some notable distortions in AC I, as well. Garnier de Naplouse (Garnier de Nablus) comes to mind. He was actually AT the Battle of Arsuf with Richard against Saladin. In fact, the Hospitalers broke ranks against Richard's direct orders to Master Garnier to hold formation. The Hospitalers charged the Saracens, because their archers were wiping the horses out from under the knights and things were getting quite intense. It was looking like their counter-attacks were toast. Garnier's surprise move was supported by Richard, who sent in troops to cover them in a moment of quick thinking. That's one for you....

Sibrand was the first Master of the Teutonic Knights, but they were a brotherhood at that point and not a full blown order.

If Majd Addin was in fact based on Baha ad-Din, serious liberties were taken with his character. It was in 1191 when Conrad of Montferrat (William V's son) became the King of Jerusalem, in which case a regent would have been a moot point. Not sure ''when'' in 1191, however. --[[User:Maskim xul|Maskim xul]] 00:54, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

==Name==
Hold on. Does Ezio really mean Eagle? I've ran his name through a couple translators and Ezio never came out eagle. Then I ran eagle through Italian and it came out something else. [[User:Imperialscouts|Imperialscouts]] 23:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think Ezio is a literal translation. The full name must come out to Eagle of Florence. Then again, I was never sure what Altair's full name meant; "Son of None" or something was one given while the other involved an eagle.
:From what I hear, "Altaïr" means "Eagle" whereas "Ibn-La'Ahad" means "son of none". − [[User:Elecbullet|Elecbullet]] 04:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Is it Ezio Auditore '''de''' Firenze or '''di''' Firenze? The Wikipedia article says "di". − [[User:Elecbullet|Elecbullet]] 04:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I am italian myself and Ezio doesn't mean Eagle, "Aquila" is the italian word for that. But I read on an on-line catalogue of names that Ezio probably derives from the greek world for Eagle. [[Special:Contributions/84.222.239.78|84.222.239.78]] 17:41, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

:All right, thank you. I deleted the statement about the translation. Under "Trivia" it now explains in detail. − [[User:Elecbullet|Elecbullet]] 19:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I did some research on this site concerning Ezio, and the name is a form of Aëtios, which means 'Of or pertraining to an eagle'. You can check it yourself on this page: http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Ezio.html

Oh no way. I am Greek and Ezio has nothing to do with "eagle". The Greek word for it is Αετός (Aetos). Auditore means auditor?

Man, are you sure, because I've been speaking Greek since I was born and Αετός (Aetos) doesnt mean that.[[User:Playmsbk|Playmsbk]] 21:13, February 15, 2010 (UTC)\
Don't you see

Clearly there is a connection, since the name Ezio is a form of the name Aëtions, which sounds very similar to Aetos, it's highly possible that it does mean Eagle. I found another site that has a databse of names that suggests the same: http://www.behindthename.com/name/ezio

:Maybe it's an ancient form of greek? The italian in AC2 isn't quite well modern italian, there are several latin/archaich quotes. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 03:11, February 16, 2010 (UTC
:
:I went onto a baby name site, believe it or not and Ezio does mean Eagle in ancient greek. Seriously the name is really cool for an assassin but also depicting how fast and elegent he actually is. Just saying it makes my heart pound! :) [[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 09:40, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
I did some little research, and I came to the result that in ancient Greek, eagle is Aitos. But I stil can't find any connections between Aitos and Ezio. Ok scratch my comment. I found the connection. The name does't come from aitos (eagle) itself, but it comes from the verb '''α'ί''''''σσω'''''''' (aiso), which means to attack like an eagle. With some European accent changes and some Italian modifications to sound like an Italian name we have Ezio! This thread looks like it's over! Name source confirmed. [[User:Playmsbk|Playmsbk]] 16:19, February 16, 2010 (UTC)'''

== DA Firenze ==

It's Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Not di Firenze. I understand the GI article says di Firenze. In the game (and in terms of proper Italian naming conventions) it's da. You are free to continue reverting my changes, but you'll inevitably be forced to accept them when the game comes out and you realize I am correct.

'di ferenze' means 'of Ferenze/Florence'. So ezio (what ever ezio translates to) of florence

== About his name ==

All the fuss over Firenze, is all for not, listen, Da Firenze, is a title of Nobility, it means Of Florence, with a patent of nobility, a member of the state or a states men. When referring to any of the house of Auditore by their last names it should be said "auditore" ot "firenze" as that is the state they serve, and could many any other noble at that level, coincidentally Nobility is paternal, not maternal, therefore all information referring to claudia especially should be scrutinized, unless otherwise noted, she was not noble, she was of noble birth but without death in the family, mainly of her mother, period laws in Firenze where always to the mother of the house, therefore Maria, was probably, Da Firenze, but claudia would have been encouraged to take a husband of nobility in the normal working of noble families, and than would have received the title of the house, or position she inherited. being that lorenzo lived after the assassination attempt and had contact with ezio, he may have bestowed patents of nobility upon the whole family. Furthermore the auditores ability to bestow titles within monteriggioni remains no matter what, therefore we can assume that all had titles, and all were in reception of their patents. this does not change the fact that they should not be refered to as "firenzes" they are auditores, it would be like calling henry tudor VIII of england, "england."

Most likely considering Mario is the elder son, he holds the actual clout in the family,he may be Duke of monteriggioni, and that would make ezio Consiglierre, or counselor, ezio being second, unless mario has some son somewhere we don't know about whom is older than ezio.

Or the third option that Mario's nobility is only locale to monteriggioni, however it is quite unlikely, and the Auditore of Giovanni had a whole new thread of nobility bestowed upon them in addition, or in separate of the previous titles. Furthermore they were not nobles at all considering what we learn in the auditore family crypt, and are actually from the south coast of venice circa 1296 by way of marco polo.[[User:Pauci Verentur|Pauci Verentur]] 23:50, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

: If his name is nobility, doesn't that contradict the way the family is described by Domenico Auditore ''da Firenze ''(Which I think is ironic, if the name is nobility)'' "To the Auditore that reads this, remember that you are not a nobleman. You are not one of the deceivers, you are one of the people. Avenge us!"''

:: ''The Animus (That's my user-name, it's having trouble with the signature)''

== new info ==

someone needs to incorporate this http://ps3.ign.com/articles/103/1037168p1.html

== Question ==

now that we have all our information on our subject, would it not be logical to bring this out of the "video game preview" unencyclopedic format, and actually make it represent his life?

i will do a little edit and stop at 1 paragraph if you want me to stop revert it, otherwise ill press on in 48 hours.

:Good idea. Also, when starting the revamp on the page please try to keep it similar to the pattern on others characters page, like merging Background to Biography under "Early Life", separating into history, personality and equipments, etc. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 00:03, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

== Added info ==

The Auditore family isn't actually true nobility. If you go through the Family Crypt in the Villa (which you can unlock through uplay), you can read their family history. Giovanni's father or a later ancestor adopted another nobleman's name, and trained himself classically and so gained access to the Florentine elite. --[[Special:Contributions/84.250.32.3|84.250.32.3]] 00:45, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

I think you learn not that he adopted another nobles name, but that his great grandfather, or Mario's great grandfather (meaning Ezio's great great grandfather), whichever built the villa obtained their money after obtaining the bank account of Marco Polo. After Polo's death and the loss of most of the Codex, the Auditori moved to Montegorri and masqueraded as nobility. With all of Polo's finances behid them no one doubted them. [[User:Mjihde|Mjihde]] 09:54, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

== Decendants ==

Not so much discussion as query. Are we actually informed who is the mother of Ezio's heir? Given that Ezio is a womaniser,he could theoretically have any number of decendants. Whoever it is would have to have had the child after Sequence 14, given how we learn that the ancestrial memories swap to the baby right after insemination (the Altair scene in AC2). [[User:Mjihde|Mjihde]] 09:57, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Sounds like a lot of illegitamate childrens. I wonder how often do Ezio go to the bothels [[User:Blix1ms0ns|Blix1ms0ns]] 18:28, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

== Golden Fleece ==

The article mentions the Codex alludes to Altair's Armor being made from pieces of the Golden Fleece. This is not the case. The Codex says Altair found a way (using information provided by the apple) to create what is effectively an invincible metal. It goes on to state he fears the effects such a development could have if it fell into templar hands and so he destroyed the formula.

No. It points to him finding out how to make the material that the Golden Fleece was created from. Once he made his armour, he destroyed anything that could lead to someone else working out how to make it, fearing it's widespread use by friend or foe alike. [[User:JakCurse|JakCurse]] 00:53, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

== Phrase? ==

What does Ezio say after he kills the important people as they are dying? The phrase he says just before they die and what does it mean?--[[Special:Contributions/84.92.16.13|84.92.16.13]] 18:07, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Ezio, (in all main assassinations after Memory Block 3) says 'Rest in Peace' at some point in the small scene. Though obviously he says it in Italian, I just am unsure on how to spell it, if you put subtitles on, it's translated for you.

I suppose I should have thought of that yes, but that's annoying, He says "requesta de pache" Must go see in the subtitles, thanks.--[[Special:Contributions/84.92.16.13|84.92.16.13]] 19:01, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Requiescat im Pace. Rek-wie-ess-cat im pa-chee. [[User:JakCurse|JakCurse]] 20:03, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

"Requiscat in pace" is actually ancient italian, close to modern latin. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 01:33, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Welp, i assure you, that's what he says. [[User:JakCurse|JakCurse]] 02:03, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

In my game, the subtitles say "Requiescat de pache" when hes saying rest in peace in italian. [[User:DarthFart|DarthFart]] 02:31, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Odd, because de means the. [[User:JakCurse|JakCurse]] 02:39, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

I may not be italian myself but i have read upon the italian language. Although I did french at GCSE it appears very similar in terms the usual joining words in italian. You don't to translate it word for word, its just the fact that its the main bits you need to point out not the joining words so although de may mean the, its wise to note that it may stand for other things. I'm not critisising, i'm just saying :) [[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 09:44, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

== Ancestor? ==

Where is it stated that Altaïr is an ancestor of Ezio? Ezio may be descendant of other assassin family, and one of his descendants maybe had a relationship with one of Altaïr's descendants.--[[User:Erik1310|Erik1310]] 09:06, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

:He have the same abilities of Altaír. Even if his family had something to do with Altaïr's ancestor, he would still be related to Altaïr. No matter who get involved with who, if Desmond can see both, then they are directly related. I didn't understand the purpose of your question. Or the sense behind it. oO -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 00:23, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

::I meant that there is possibility that Ezio's descendant and Altaïr's descendant had a relationship (maybe I choosed the wrong word, I'm not good at English) and their child is ancestor of Desmond. In this case Desmond could enter both Ezio's and Altaïr's memory, while Ezio isn't Altaïr's descendant.--[[User:Erik1310|Erik1310]] 15:05, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

But since he would have both Altaïr's lineage genes and Ezio's lineage genes, doesn't that make him technically descendant to both? -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 16:02, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

My point is that Ezio may not be Altaïr's descendant. Article states he is, but I want to see proof of this.--[[User:Erik1310|Erik1310]] 20:48, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, yes. It was stated by the Creative director of the game in one of many interviews. Check AC2 wedocs. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 20:53, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe the connection between Altair and Ezio is Maria. In A'sC2 we see that she gets pregnat by Altair and the Assassins then spread into Europe. That's how I see it.[[User:Playmsbk|Playmsbk]] 21:21, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

== Templates ==

Aren't the templates a bit the contrary of each other (don't know if I said that right)? One says that the article needs a revamp, the other says it's nominated to be a featured article. If the latter is correct, why would it have to be revamped? [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 16:42, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
:Cause it's good but don't follow our manual of style, which is a requisite to FA. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 02:44, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

== Love his outfit ==

'nough said

Speaking of the assassin gear that Ezio gains in the mission 'family hierloom', it's acctualy really cool. I mean don't get me wrong but i acctually like it! But he had to change it in Brotherhood. I prefered the one in AC2. Since I do art, I do a lot of work based on AC" but using females. It's not bad but its not good either, your the one to decide! :) [[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 09:52, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

== Age ==

I noticed often how people (I never did, but I noticed it) keep changing the age in one area from 28 or 29 to the other. Could someone please cite a source for one, so we can end it permanently???
When it all began he is at the age at 16/17 but as his killing years went on and on he then ends up at being at the age 47.

Yeah, I've looked upon how old Ezio is as we go through the game, I think he ages by about 1 - 2 years with each sequence. I always kept track of how old Ezio is. He's about 17 at the begining and at the end of AC2 he's about 40 and then he ages AGAIN in brotherhood to about 46 - 47. Still he has his ponytail which is a big relief! :) [[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 09:49, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

== To Featured and beyond! ==

Guys, I think this page is good enough to get a nomination to Featured status, but first it would need to re-organize that Romantic section. It's a bit of a mess, many pictures together and bad formatted. Can someone try and get to it, pls? -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 17:24, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

: I got it. Working on it now. :) [[User:AgentValentine|AgentValentine]] 05:21, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

==DLC==
I haven't played 'discovery' yet, so I'm not very known to when it is set. Anyway since in Ezio's profile, Bonfire is written after Discovery... Are we to assume that it took place between both downloadable sequences? That's doubtable as the two DLC's seem to follow each other up.[[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] February 21, 2010 (UTC)
*No, the Battle of Forli took place in 1487, whilst the Bonfire of the Vanaties took place in 1498. Why it took Ezio twelve years to get from Forli to Florence whilst Savonarola held the Apple I don't know, but it's canon. '''''[[User:Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 16:02, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
*One inconsitency in the game here is Ezio's aging that occurs when he awakens after the battle of Forli. He is bearded, but does not appear this way again until the bonfire of the vanities/end of the game. And until the DLC the memory sequences were chronoloigcal I thought

Yeah, I've noticed the ageing!! When you start sequence 14. I dont have the downloadable content sequences but i do watch them on youtube. He still has his ponytail though which is dead cute! :D [[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 07:55, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

I saw your edit and I agree that about the gun relates more to Leo, however about the constellation Aquila...

== The First Apple ==

Where does it say that Ezio sealed the First Apple under Altaïr's statue? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 23:40, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

== Ezio ==

I recently bought this game, and it is one of the best fighting games i have ever played. plus the fact that Ezio is drop dead gorgeous makes it even better! but apart from that i must say this one wicked game, the feel of it seems so right and so real. i hope that there will be Assassin's Creed 3 or even a movie made out of these wonderfuly placed games. Hugh Jackman i think would make an excellent Assassin my self! sexyshedevil
*There will be a third assassin's creed game, as it was already told that it was to become a trilogy. And there will still be plenty of spin-off's no doubt. Personally I don't see Hugh Jackman as an assassin. I think James Caviezel could have made a good Altaïr once when he was younger. Bit of an irony there, cause he played Jesus Christ. I do have the say that mostly we use these 'Talk' pages to discus the article itself. Not for subjective reasons as this. Oh and please sign your posts, thank you.

Ezio Auditore da Firenza : games begin when hi is a 17 years old boy and game ends he is a 40 years old man,cause game begin in 1476 but he was born 1459 (1476-1459=17) and now game finishing in 1499 right ? So 1499 - 1459 = 40 years and that means you finishing game like 40 years old guy he isnt too old :)
*The game finishes in 1503. '''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 11:20, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

I agree he isn't acctually that old! You do start when he's well....born and then you proper control him at 17. Then it just goes on from there really...[[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 07:53, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

== Bonfire of Vanities mistake ==

Why is it that even after you finish sequence 13 the Bonfires are still burning and and people are still throwing books on them I think Ubi missed that. I also noticed that Savanrola is kinda like Jubair al-Hakim with the burning of books an all.

==Main pic==
To quote D. Cello, the ''"main picture is a major part of article and we have a standard to keep with Altaïr's/protagonists. This isn't wookiepedia, the latest canon pic doesn't become the best."'' Now, I can understand wanting to keep the article at a high standard, but by having a picture which, admittedly, shows a lot in detail, but fails at where a main pic should be at its best… we cannot see his face. Using the Altaïr article's main picture as a basis for this one is, in my opinion, a cheap excuse for avoiding change on this article. So what if we have a full-body picture of Altaïr, if I could find a nice, clean close-up of Altaïr's face, I'd be putting that in the main box.

As for comparing the change to one from wookieepedia, I fail to see how that comparison can be made. Wookieepedia operates a policy of having the best picture available in the box, not picking "the latest canon pic" assuing it's the best. It's not, but the brotherhood picture is a hell of a lot better then the full-body picture we have now. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 12:09, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

70.119.107.166: misspelled word

Great news and thanks for the update. I just have one issue with Machiavelli - he would have only been 7 years old in 1476. I can overlook that though to work with da Vinci. --[[User:Maskim xul|Maskim xul]] 15:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

:The GameInformer article says the game takes place in 1476 and that you team up with Machiavelli. I had no clue that he would only be that young around that time. --[[User:Droginator1|Droginator1]]

::That is a strange flaw. I know he wont be that young due to his picture in the article, maybe one memory is in 1476, then the one with him is later? [[User:AC-42|AC-42]] 17:11, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

:::The game isnt ''all'' in 1476. The beginning is, and then you jump through Ezio's life until 1503. I'd assume you meet Machiavelli once he's a little older ;D [[User:Tobbsdasock|Tobbsdasock]] 16:50 21st November (GMT)
Upon looking in to the history of Florence round and about 1476, when Assassin's Creed II is purported to take place, there seems to be a wealth of juicy subject matter that could potentially be built into this game: that is, judging from the way history was handled in AC I. That is to point out, as Desmond observes in a conversation with Vidic, that there are some 'differences' in what we have learned to be true and what Altair experiences - first person. That's also something that Al Mualim points out to Altair - that most people don't bother to notice the difference between what we are told to be true and what we observe to be true. Presumably, the same may be said of whatever Ezio experiences.

We also have '''Lorenzo de Medici''' around at that time. Firenze or Florence is where Ezio is living and Lorenzo's turf. We may see Lorenzo in much the same fashion that we see King Richard I in AC I - in cut-out scenes - i.e., Ezio will observe and listen to him but not be able to interact. But that's okay, because there's a whole lot more going on there to sweeten the pot. History is bent already, with this aberration in Machiavelli's age. He may have been a child prodigy, but that's still too young to be giving Ezio advice in political matters. He may even serve as the AC II Al Mualim. Who knows? Afterall, he does have a bit of a reputation for being the master of manipulating people in any way possible - politically, socially, financially, etc. Even today, upper management types consider "The Prince", his most well known tome, necessary reading material. One could hope ;)

Lorenzo had some interesting allies. He also had a lot of enemies. There are two - one ally/one enemy in particular that stand out:

The ally that stands out in this period was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, '''Mehmet II''' - also known as ''el Fatih'', the Conqueror. He's the one who conquered Constantinople and ended the Byzantine Empire. His "beloved" was none other than '''Radu cel Frumos'''...the younger brother of '''Vlad III Dracul'''. Yes, ''that'' Vlad Dracul. At one time, both of them were 'guests' in the Sultan's court, as assurance for their father's good behavior ('''Vlad II'''). Vlad III later returned home, but Radu remained behind, being groomed to one day take his older brother's place on the throne of Walachia. Mehmet II sees to it that he does just that, and Vlad III dies in 1476...coincidentally. Very possibly assassinated. An interesting thought but doesn't seem likely Ezio would be the one. Does it?

The '''Pazzi''' family wanted the Medici's gone. ''They'' wanted to rule Florence. It's called '''the Pazzi Conspiracy'''. They were aided and abetted in their schemes by the '''Archbishop of Pisa''' and his patron '''Pope Sixtus the Fourth'''. Three assassins made an attempt on the lives of Lorenzo and his brother Giuliano, attacking them as they attended mass at the cathedral. The Archbishop was lynched. All the Pazzi's were put to death, as well as the three assassins. This all happened in 1478.

There was war, too - for while Lorenzo de Medici had managed to become allied with the Ottomans, Mehmet II was attempting to conquer a large part of the rest of Italy, including Venice. He had already declared himself the "King of Rome" or "Ceasar" in the early 1460's. Venice was the richest city on the Mediterranean and controlled much of the shipping in that sea.

*

As for Venice, the 'other' city involved in AC II, let's look at the most powerful man there - the Doge or Duke of Venice. At this time, this position is held by Andrea Vendramin, who also dies in 1478 - perhaps from the Plague. Andrea married off his six daughters in typically politically strategic fashion and was by all accounts a very rich man. However, not all of the Council of Forty-One agreed with his election to the title and seat. He was called "a cheesemonger" and the Council remained divided during his reign. He was buried in what was considered "the most lavish funerary monument in Renaissance Venice." To his defense, he may have been chosen exactly because he and his brother had heaped up the beginnings of their family fortunes by entering into several commercial maritime ventures in their youth. He understood commerce, shipping and how to make a profit. That and he had a lot of influence in the families of his sons-in-law's families.

Will any of these other people show up in AC II? Perhaps. Fifteenth century Florence and Venice were riddled with intrigues, assassinations and various other skullduggery. Poison rings and strange elixirs were just as popular as daggers for doing away with one's enemies...but the Hidden Blades (two of them) rule. --[[User:Maskim xul|Maskim xul]] 23:44, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

*

You know, there are some notable distortions in AC I, as well. Garnier de Naplouse (Garnier de Nablus) comes to mind. He was actually AT the Battle of Arsuf with Richard against Saladin. In fact, the Hospitalers broke ranks against Richard's direct orders to Master Garnier to hold formation. The Hospitalers charged the Saracens, because their archers were wiping the horses out from under the knights and things were getting quite intense. It was looking like their counter-attacks were toast. Garnier's surprise move was supported by Richard, who sent in troops to cover them in a moment of quick thinking. That's one for you....

Sibrand was the first Master of the Teutonic Knights, but they were a brotherhood at that point and not a full blown order.

If Majd Addin was in fact based on Baha ad-Din, serious liberties were taken with his character. It was in 1191 when Conrad of Montferrat (William V's son) became the King of Jerusalem, in which case a regent would have been a moot point. Not sure ''when'' in 1191, however. --[[User:Maskim xul|Maskim xul]] 00:54, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

==Name==
Hold on. Does Ezio really mean Eagle? I've ran his name through a couple translators and Ezio never came out eagle. Then I ran eagle through Italian and it came out something else. [[User:Imperialscouts|Imperialscouts]] 23:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think Ezio is a literal translation. The full name must come out to Eagle of Florence. Then again, I was never sure what Altair's full name meant; "Son of None" or something was one given while the other involved an eagle.
:From what I hear, "Altaïr" means "Eagle" whereas "Ibn-La'Ahad" means "son of none". − [[User:Elecbullet|Elecbullet]] 04:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Is it Ezio Auditore '''de''' Firenze or '''di''' Firenze? The Wikipedia article says "di". − [[User:Elecbullet|Elecbullet]] 04:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I am italian myself and Ezio doesn't mean Eagle, "Aquila" is the italian word for that. But I read on an on-line catalogue of names that Ezio probably derives from the greek world for Eagle. [[Special:Contributions/84.222.239.78|84.222.239.78]] 17:41, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

:All right, thank you. I deleted the statement about the translation. Under "Trivia" it now explains in detail. − [[User:Elecbullet|Elecbullet]] 19:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I did some research on this site concerning Ezio, and the name is a form of Aëtios, which means 'Of or pertraining to an eagle'. You can check it yourself on this page: http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Ezio.html

Oh no way. I am Greek and Ezio has nothing to do with "eagle". The Greek word for it is Αετός (Aetos). Auditore means auditor?

Man, are you sure, because I've been speaking Greek since I was born and Αετός (Aetos) doesnt mean that.[[User:Playmsbk|Playmsbk]] 21:13, February 15, 2010 (UTC)\
Don't you see

Clearly there is a connection, since the name Ezio is a form of the name Aëtions, which sounds very similar to Aetos, it's highly possible that it does mean Eagle. I found another site that has a databse of names that suggests the same: http://www.behindthename.com/name/ezio

:Maybe it's an ancient form of greek? The italian in AC2 isn't quite well modern italian, there are several latin/archaich quotes. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 03:11, February 16, 2010 (UTC

:I went onto a baby name site, believe it or not and Ezio does mean Eagle in ancient greek. Seriously the name is really cool for an assassin but also depicting how fast and elegent he actually is.

I did some little research, and I came to the result that in ancient Greek, eagle is Aitos. But I stil can't find any connections between Aitos and Ezio. Ok scratch my comment. I found the connection. The name does't come from aitos (eagle) itself, but it comes from the verb '''α'ί''''''σσω'''''''' (aiso), which means to attack like an eagle. With some European accent changes and some Italian modifications to sound like an Italian name we have Ezio! This thread looks like it's over! Name source confirmed. [[User:Playmsbk|Playmsbk]] 16:19, February 16, 2010 (UTC)'''

== DA Firenze ==

It's Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Not di Firenze. I understand the GI article says di Firenze. In the game (and in terms of proper Italian naming conventions) it's da. You are free to continue reverting my changes, but you'll inevitably be forced to accept them when the game comes out and you realize I am correct.

'di ferenze' means 'of Ferenze/Florence'. So ezio (what ever ezio translates to) of florence

== About his name ==

All the fuss over Firenze, is all for not, listen, Da Firenze, is a title of Nobility, it means Of Florence, with a patent of nobility, a member of the state or a states men. When referring to any of the house of Auditore by their last names it should be said "auditore" ot "firenze" as that is the state they serve, and could many any other noble at that level, coincidentally Nobility is paternal, not maternal, therefore all information referring to claudia especially should be scrutinized, unless otherwise noted, she was not noble, she was of noble birth but without death in the family, mainly of her mother, period laws in Firenze where always to the mother of the house, therefore Maria, was probably, Da Firenze, but claudia would have been encouraged to take a husband of nobility in the normal working of noble families, and than would have received the title of the house, or position she inherited. being that lorenzo lived after the assassination attempt and had contact with ezio, he may have bestowed patents of nobility upon the whole family. Furthermore the auditores ability to bestow titles within monteriggioni remains no matter what, therefore we can assume that all had titles, and all were in reception of their patents. this does not change the fact that they should not be refered to as "firenzes" they are auditores, it would be like calling henry tudor VIII of england, "england."

Most likely considering Mario is the elder son, he holds the actual clout in the family,he may be Duke of monteriggioni, and that would make ezio Consiglierre, or counselor, ezio being second, unless mario has some son somewhere we don't know about whom is older than ezio.

Or the third option that Mario's nobility is only locale to monteriggioni, however it is quite unlikely, and the Auditore of Giovanni had a whole new thread of nobility bestowed upon them in addition, or in separate of the previous titles. Furthermore they were not nobles at all considering what we learn in the auditore family crypt, and are actually from the south coast of venice circa 1296 by way of marco polo.[[User:Pauci Verentur|Pauci Verentur]] 23:50, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

: If his name is nobility, doesn't that contradict the way the family is described by Domenico Auditore ''da Firenze ''(Which I think is ironic, if the name is nobility)'' "To the Auditore that reads this, remember that you are not a nobleman. You are not one of the deceivers, you are one of the people. Avenge us!"''

:: ''The Animus (That's my user-name, it's having trouble with the signature)''

== new info ==

someone needs to incorporate this http://ps3.ign.com/articles/103/1037168p1.html

== Question ==

now that we have all our information on our subject, would it not be logical to bring this out of the "video game preview" unencyclopedic format, and actually make it represent his life?

i will do a little edit and stop at 1 paragraph if you want me to stop revert it, otherwise ill press on in 48 hours.

:Good idea. Also, when starting the revamp on the page please try to keep it similar to the pattern on others characters page, like merging Background to Biography under "Early Life", separating into history, personality and equipments, etc. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 00:03, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

== Added info ==

The Auditore family isn't actually true nobility. If you go through the Family Crypt in the Villa (which you can unlock through uplay), you can read their family history. Giovanni's father or a later ancestor adopted another nobleman's name, and trained himself classically and so gained access to the Florentine elite. --[[Special:Contributions/84.250.32.3|84.250.32.3]] 00:45, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

I think you learn not that he adopted another nobles name, but that his great grandfather, or Mario's great grandfather (meaning Ezio's great great grandfather), whichever built the villa obtained their money after obtaining the bank account of Marco Polo. After Polo's death and the loss of most of the Codex, the Auditori moved to Montegorri and masqueraded as nobility. With all of Polo's finances behid them no one doubted them. [[User:Mjihde|Mjihde]] 09:54, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

== Decendants ==

Not so much discussion as query. Are we actually informed who is the mother of Ezio's heir? Given that Ezio is a womaniser,he could theoretically have any number of decendants. Whoever it is would have to have had the child after Sequence 14, given how we learn that the ancestrial memories swap to the baby right after insemination (the Altair scene in AC2). [[User:Mjihde|Mjihde]] 09:57, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Sounds like a lot of illegitamate childrens. I wonder how often do Ezio go to the bothels [[User:Blix1ms0ns|Blix1ms0ns]] 18:28, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

== Golden Fleece ==

The article mentions the Codex alludes to Altair's Armor being made from pieces of the Golden Fleece. This is not the case. The Codex says Altair found a way (using information provided by the apple) to create what is effectively an invincible metal. It goes on to state he fears the effects such a development could have if it fell into templar hands and so he destroyed the formula.

No. It points to him finding out how to make the material that the Golden Fleece was created from. Once he made his armour, he destroyed anything that could lead to someone else working out how to make it, fearing it's widespread use by friend or foe alike. [[User:JakCurse|JakCurse]] 00:53, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Ezio, (in all main assassinations after Memory Block 3) says 'Rest in Peace' at some point in the small scene. Though obviously he says it in Italian, I just am unsure on how to spell it, if you put subtitles on, it's translated for you.

I suppose I should have thought of that yes, but that's annoying, He says "requesta de pache" Must go see in the subtitles, thanks.--[[Special:Contributions/84.92.16.13|84.92.16.13]] 19:01, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Odd, because de means the. [[User:JakCurse|JakCurse]] 02:39, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

I may not be italian myself but i have read upon the italian language. Although I did french at GCSE it appears very similar in terms the usual joining words in italian. You don't to translate it word for word, its just the fact that its the main bits you need to point out not the joining words so although de may mean the, its wise to note that it may stand for other things. I'm not critisising, i'm just saying :) [[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 09:44, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

== Ancestor? ==

:He have the same abilities of Altaír. Even if his family had something to do with Altaïr's ancestor, he would still be related to Altaïr.

::I meant that there is possibility that Ezio's descendant and Altaïr's descendant had a relationship (maybe I choosed the wrong word, I'm not good at English) and their child is ancestor of Desmond.

My point is that Ezio may not be Altaïr's descendant. Article states he is, but I want to see proof of this.--[[User:Erik1310|Erik1310]] 20:48, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, yes. It was stated by the Creative director of the game in one of many interviews. Check AC2 wedocs. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 20:53, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe the connection between Altair and Ezio is Maria. In A'sC2 we see that she gets pregnat by Altair and the Assassins then spread into Europe. That's how I see it.[[User:Playmsbk|Playmsbk]] 21:21, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of the assassin gear that Ezio gains in the mission 'family hierloom', it's acctualy really cool. I mean don't get me wrong but i acctually like it! But he had to change it in Brotherhood. I prefered the one in AC2. Since I do art, I do a lot of work based on AC" but using females.

I noticed often how people (I never did, but I noticed it) keep changing the age in one area from 28 or 29 to the other. Could someone please cite a source for one, so we can end it permanently???
When it all began he is at the age at 16/17 but as his killing years went on and on he then ends up at being at the age 47.

Yeah, I've looked upon how old Ezio is as we go through the game, I think he ages by about 1 - 2 years with each sequence. I always kept track of how old Ezio is. He's about 17 at the begining and at the end of AC2 he's about 40 and then he ages AGAIN in brotherhood to about 46 - 47.

*No, the Battle of Forli took place in 1487, whilst the Bonfire of the Vanaties took place in 1498. Why it took Ezio twelve years to get from Forli to Florence whilst Savonarola held the Apple I don't know, but it's canon.

*One inconsitency in the game here is Ezio's aging that occurs when he awakens after the battle of Forli. He is bearded, but does not appear this way again until the bonfire of the vanities/end of the game. And until the DLC the memory sequences were chronoloigcal I thought

Yeah, I've noticed the ageing!! When you start sequence 14. I dont have the downloadable content sequences but i do watch them on youtube. He still has his ponytail though which is dead cute! :D [[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 07:55, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

I saw your edit and I agree that about the gun relates more to Leo, however about the constellation Aquila... I think this relates to as well Ezio and Altaïr, seeing that Aquila mean eagle in Latin/Italian. That is why I decided to copy it from Altaïr's profile, cause I admit I only adjusted it, I didn't write it myself. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 05:01, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

== The First Apple ==

Where does it say that Ezio sealed the First Apple under Altaïr's statue? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 23:40, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

== Ezio ==

I recently bought this game, and it is one of the best fighting games i have ever played. plus the fact that Ezio is drop dead gorgeous makes it even better! but apart from that i must say this one wicked game, the feel of it seems so right and so real. i hope that there will be Assassin's Creed 3 or even a movie made out of these wonderfuly placed games. Hugh Jackman i think would make an excellent Assassin my self! sexyshedevil
*There will be a third assassin's creed game, as it was already told that it was to become a trilogy. And there will still be plenty of spin-off's no doubt. Personally I don't see Hugh Jackman as an assassin. I think James Caviezel could have made a good Altaïr once when he was younger. Bit of an irony there, cause he played Jesus Christ. I do have the say that mostly we use these 'Talk' pages to discus the article itself. Not for subjective reasons as this. Oh and please sign your posts, thank you. [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 23:40, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

== Age ==

Ezio Auditore da Firenza : games begin when hi is a 17 years old boy and game ends he is a 40 years old man,cause game begin in 1476 but he was born 1459 (1476-1459=17) and now game finishing in 1499 right ? So 1499 - 1459 = 40 years and that means you finishing game like 40 years old guy he isnt too old :)
*The game finishes in 1503. '''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 11:20, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

I agree he isn't acctually that old! You do start when he's well....born and then you proper control him at 17. Then it just goes on from there really...[[User:Babystace2k10|Babystace2k10]] 07:53, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

== Bonfire of Vanities mistake ==

Why is it that even after you finish sequence 13 the Bonfires are still burning and and people are still throwing books on them I think Ubi missed that. I also noticed that Savanrola is kinda like Jubair al-Hakim with the burning of books an all.

==Main pic==
To quote D. Cello, the ''"main picture is a major part of article and we have a standard to keep with Altaïr's/protagonists. This isn't wookiepedia, the latest canon pic doesn't become the best."'' Now, I can understand wanting to keep the article at a high standard, but by having a picture which, admittedly, shows a lot in detail, but fails at where a main pic should be at its best… we cannot see his face. Using the Altaïr article's main picture as a basis for this one is, in my opinion, a cheap excuse for avoiding change on this article. So what if we have a full-body picture of Altaïr, if I could find a nice, clean close-up of Altaïr's face, I'd be putting that in the main box.

As for comparing the change to one from wookieepedia, I fail to see how that comparison can be made. Wookieepedia operates a policy of having the best picture available in the box, not picking "the latest canon pic" assuing it's the best. It's not, but the brotherhood picture is a hell of a lot better then the full-body picture we have now. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 12:09, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

==Main pic vote==
Now, I'm pretty sure everybody here has noticed the recent editwar that's been going on over the infobox picture. People are flipping between these two images (see below), and reverting them back and, to be honest, it's getting highly irritating. Now, this is going to continue until either somebody locks this page for a cooldown period, or we vote for a picture here.

Piece of Eden

2010-06-28T14:13:24Z

70.119.107.166: misspelled word

{{Era|Good}}
[[File:Zw-eden-slave.png|thumb|300px|The Piece of Eden used by [[Those Who Came Before]] to enslave humans]]
{{Quote|They're gifts, Mr. Miles. From Those Who Came Before|Dr. [[Warren Vidic]] on a Piece of Eden|Assassin's Creed}}
The '''Pieces of Eden''' were technologically advanced pieces of equipment created by the [[First Civilization]]; each possessed unique properties, and all were known to be capable of bending the thoughts of one or more individuals to the will of the user.

==History==
{{Quote|Current examination of Subject Seventeen indicates that aside from the Piece of Eden, all other artifacts related to Christ-figure are literary devices for derived from Piece of Eden, and not actual objects.|[[Alan Rikkin]] [[e-mail]] on the Pieces of Eden adoption as biblical and historical artifacts|Assassin's Creed}}
[[Those Who Came Before]], also known as the First Civilization<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>, were an ancient yet advanced race of beings that lived on Earth long before humanity. The creators of the Human race, the First Civilization used the Pieces of Eden to control their slaves through hypnotic trances<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>. Whether humanity was created to be susceptible to the effects of the Pieces of Eden, or if the Pieces were created after humanity remains unknown; [[Minerva]] attributed the peace between humanity and their "gods" to the effects of the Pieces of Eden<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

Eventually however, two humans, [[Adam and Eve]] became immune to the hypnotic effects of the Pieces of Eden, and stole one of the Pieces – the Apple of Eden – from their masters. Soon after a war broke out, pitting humanity against their gods. Despite their strength in technology, the Pieces of Eden failed to protect the creators from the slaves, who heavily outnumbered the masters. The war ended catastrophically for both sides, and both humanity and their gods were forced to work together to rebuild their world<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. Eventually though, the gods became extinct, and their Pieces of Eden were lost to the annals of history<ref name="Assassin's Creed" /><ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

Over the centuries, the Pieces of Eden resurfaced; seen as religious artifacts or holy relics, foremost among which being the Apple of Eden. However, as time continued, so groups of individuals begun to see the Pieces of Eden for what they truly were, advanced technologies to be exploited. As early as the 12th Century, the [[Knights Templar]] were actively seeking and obtaining numerous Pieces of Eden<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />, in the hopes of uniting the world in peace much like Those Who Came Before had done<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />, and in 1191, they sought the Apple itself.

Led by the [[Robert de Sable|Grand Master]] of the Order, the Knights Templar used the cover of the [[Third Crusade]] to infiltrate the catacombs of [[Solomon's Temple]], in the city of [[Jerusalem]], where they knew the Apple was located. Unfortunately for them, [[Al Mualim]], leader of the [[Assassins|Order of Assassins]] and secretly also, a Knights Templar, had sent his best to capture the device. [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] and the [[Malik A-Sayf|brothers]] [[Kadar A-Sayf|A-Sayf]] intercepted the Templars, and despite the death of Kadar and Altaïr being thrown from the battle early on, the Assassins prevailed and spirited the Apple to their fortress in [[Masyaf]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />. For a year the Assassins and Knights Templar fought one another for control of the artifact, until finally the deaths of both Robert de Sable and Al Mualim at the hands of Altaïr ended the conflict. Originally intending to destroy the Apple, Altaïr found himself unable to do so, and instead decided to seal the Apple in the [[Limassol]] [[Templar Archive|Archives]] after he had liberated it from the Templars; circumstances worked against this however, and he decided to keep the Apple himself, lest it fall into the wrong hands<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines">''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]''</ref>. Ultimately, the Apple did find it's way to Cyprus, where it was buried away until it's discovery and exhumation by the Knights Templar in 1487<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

Centuries later, whilst hacking into the [[Animus]], the mysterious [[Subject 16]], discovered that throughout history, the Pieces of Eden had had an extensive history of changing hands, with many historically notable figures, many Templars or Assassins, laying claim to them; Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, Gandhi, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Tsar Nicholas II, Winston Churchill and even Adolf Hitler to name but a few<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. By 2012 however, many had fallen into the hands of the Knights Templar; seeking to obtain the rest, the [[Animus]] project was set up with the intention of mapping the location of, and securing the remaining Pieces of Eden<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />.

This Animus project was also an important component in the Knights Templar goal of ensuring world peace, through use of the Pieces of Eden. By using the Pieces of Eden known as "the Apples", the Templars sought to manipulate the neuro-transmitters in the entire human race to achieve their goal. Eye-Abstergo, a branch of [[Abstergo Industries]], planned to launch an "all-in-one telecommunication" satellite into orbit of the Earth; unbeknownst to humanity and indeed, many employees of Abstergo Industries, the satellite would contain at least one Apple, and spread it's power out on a global scale<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />.

==Characteristics==
===Abilities===
[[File:Almualimxs.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Al Mualim]] uses the Apple to project multiple images of himself.]]
Amongst the greatest tools known to man; by interacting with a neuro-transmitter located deep in the brain of the human body, the Apples of Eden could control the human mind. Other Pieces of Eden were capable of warping reality, creating illusions and ensuring total obediance; both the Knights Templar and the Order of Assassins believed that the Pieces of Eden were the sources of many historical tales and miracles, such as the Parting of the Red Sea, the Trojan Horse, and the miracles enacted by "the Christ-figure" who foreshadowed the Christian faith, and the Biblical plagues that ravaged Egypt, among other supernatural happenings. Some were known to intereact with and change the passage of time, possibly creating paradoxes<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />, while at least one provided an inpenetrable barrier, that would protect the wearer from any attempt at penetration<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

Following the destruction of the second Piece of Eden during experimental use at Denver International Airport, the Knights Templar found themselves in need of another artifact with similar properties. Needing access to a map that indicated the location of ''all'' Pieces of Eden, the Templar front company [[Abstergo Industries]] kidnapped the descendant of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad – [[Desmond Miles]] – in order to view the memories of his ancestor. This would allow them to view the very same map Altaïr had viewed in 1191<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />.

Each of the Pieces of Eden contained a great deal of energy stored within, and the destruction of one would cause an explosion on the same scale of a nuclear blast. [[Tunguska event|One such blast]] occured in 1908, in the region of Tunguska, Russia, when the Piece of Eden known as "the Staff" was seemingly destroyed by [[Nikola Tesla]] as a strike against the Knights Templar<ref name="Assassin's Creed" /><ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

===Resistance===
{{Quote|I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID. I SAW HIM. HE HAD A METAL BALL. IT OPENED. THEY WENT CRAZY. SHOOTING. STABBING. TORE EACH OTHER TO PIECES. I KNOW IT WAS YOU PEOPLE. SAW THE LOGO. HEARD THE NAME. I'M GOING TO TELL. ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN. YOU'LL BE EXPOSED. THEY'LL KNOW THE TRUTH. AND THEN YOU WILL PAY. YOU CRAZY BASTARDS. YOU'LL PAY.|An unidentified individual's [[e-mail]] to Dr. [[Warren Vidic]]|Assassin's Creed }}
Although the First Civilization created humanity with a neuro-transmitter that forced them to accept the will of the Pieces of Eden, eventual cross-breeding between the gods and their slaves bore a hybrid species. These new humans passed ''some'' of the [[Eagle Vision|natural abilities]] of their gods, but most notably, were free of the neuro-transmitter that bound them to the will of the Pieces of Eden<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. The first two known individuals to be born immune to the effects of the Pieces were [[Adam and Eve]], who later stole the Apple of Eden and precipitated the war that followed<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. Members of the lineage also inherited these natural abilities and immunity to the mind-control of the Pieces, although the Pieces' ability to physically control them remained<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />. Individuals such as Altaïr and his descendants [[Ezio Auditore]], Subject 16 and Desmond Miles all possessed these enhanced abilities, and presumably, an immunity to the Pieces of Eden<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

By the early 21st Century, the Knights Templar were aware of both the existance of Those Who Came Before and the fact that some humans were immune to the mind control of the Apples of Eden, and as such actively sought other devices to compensate for this<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />. On at least one occasion Dr. [[Warren Vidic]], an employee of Abstergo Industries, recieved an [[Vidic's e-mail|email]] from an unknown individual who had not been affected by the powers of the Apple, and threatened to expose what he had seen<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />.

==Confirmed Pieces of Eden==
[[File:Zw-eden-4.png|thumb|The First Apple, adorning the Staff of Eden.]]
Besides the Apples of Eden, the First Civilization created many more Pieces of Eden. Some of these affected humanity in similar ways, whilst others affected nature and even time itself. The [[First Apple|first]], [[Second Apple|second]], [[Third Apple|third]], [[Fourth Apple|fourth]] and [[Fifth Apple|fifth Apples']] were all capable of control the minds of men, creating illusions and, to a degree, permit physical control over said minds<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />; the Apples could all be used in conjunction with the [[The Staff|Staff of Eden]], which increased the abilities of both Pieces<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. Other Pieces included [[the Shroud]], which would become famous to modern day humans as the "Shroud of Turin" – that which covered the body of Jesus Christ; it's properties including the ability to heal the wounds of those it touched; and the [[the Sword]], a Piece that would pass through the hands of many great rulers through the centuries, including [[Arthur|King Arthur]], [[Alexander the Great]], and [[Genghis Khan]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

According to [[e-mails]] read by the assassin [[Desmond Miles]], at least one Piece of Eden still existed in the year 2012, that granted the ability to manipulate time. Fears over paradox concerns however, lead to Abstergo Industries locking it away<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />.

==Known locations of Pieces of Eden==
[[File:Codexmap.jpg|thumb|The Codex Map]]

Following the death of Al Mualim and the Apples projection of a map indicating the location of all Pieces of Eden, Altaïr copied the map and included it in his [[Codex]], hidden away so that only one of his bloodline might see it<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />. Based off of the locations given on the Codex map, the following locations can be identified as containing a Piece of Eden<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />;

==Trivia==
*According to the [[glyphs]] and [[The Truth|Truth files]], many legends and myths throughout human history are actually historically accurate. The supernatural or paranormal parts of each can be explained by the protoganist in each having acquired his or her own Piece of Eden (i.e.: the Greek myth of Perseus, King Arthur, etc).
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', during the battle against [[Rodrigo Borgia|Borgia]] in the Sistine Chapel, [[Ezio]] creates copies of himself, much like [[Al Mualim]] did against Altaïr. If Ezio is [[Customization|customized]], his copies will appear with different sets of armor and colors whereas when if he is not customized, each copy will be perfectly identical to the real Ezio. (May not occur if Ezio is wearing [[Altaïr's armor|Altaïr's armour]])
*The maps in Assassin's Creed I and II show that there are only 50 Pieces of Eden, but Subject 16 says the Shroud is Piece of Eden 'number 66'. This could be because there might only be 50 known Pieces of Eden on Earth at the time.

==Trivia==
* Altaïr's Robes changes Ezio's model to Altaïr's, seen in Desmond's hallucination sequence. This is shown as the left ring finger is amputated, the double blade doesn't have a physical form on the character despite being usable, and the beard Ezio gains during the battle of Forli sequence is not present while playing with this skin in these sequences. However, Ezio retains his own voice, not Altaïr's.
*There are also 4 other outfits which do not appear on the outfits screen:
**Carnevale Mask: Your notoriety remains at zero in Venice during the [[Carnevale]]. Your outfit cannot be changed during this time.
**Golden Carnival Mask: This has no effect on your notoriety. (This allows you to be notorious while the guards are looking for you during the Doge's Party).
**Noble Suit: The clothes Ezio wears before he obtains the Assassins robes. Your notoriety will be zero while in Florence.
**Guard Armor: The clothes of a Leader-ranked standard you wear while delivering the Apple of Eden to [[Rodrigo Borgia]]. While wearing the armor, Ezio will remain unnoticed by guards until reaching Rodrigo.
*While the inside of the capes are set to a specific color, they can be changed if Ezio's Assassin's Outfit is dyed a different color.
*There are several glitches while wearing the robes of Altaïr. If Ezio has no more throwing knives the holders are still full of them. The scabbard for the knife on his back is also empty and the animation for putting the knife away shows it being placed on the hip by the sword but it disappears once put away. The player can still use the dual hidden blades but there is no blade visible on Altaïr's right hand. Unlike in the first ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' game, there is no scabbard for Altair's sword, it simply hangs at his hip with the blade exposed. If wearing the robes of Altaïr when acquiring the hidden blade, instead of wearing Altaïr's robes, you will wear Ezio's, but after Leonardo gives him the blade, the robes will change into Altaïr's.
*In Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (another Ubisoft game), for 30 UPlay points, you can buy Ezio's costume and put it on the Prince.
