With his [[Mario Auditore|uncle]] dead, and his Villa in ruins, Ezio must now travel to [[Rome]], centre of corruption, power, and home of the Templar Order in [[Italy]]; in order to regain the Apple, and bring the Templar Order to its knees once and for all.

===Multiplayer ===
''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' is the first Assassin's Creed game to feature a multiplayer mode. The players are Templars in training at the Abstergo facility. They use the animi to train. The training consists of stalking and killing one another. If the game is pre-ordered at gamestop.com, an extra character called "the [[Harlequin]]" will be available to play as.

One of the multiplayer game modes has been announced in the July edition of Playstation magazine. This mode is called "Wanted". Six to eight players are dropped on a map where they find and kill each other. Each player is given a target, which is another player. Your goal is to find and kill your target without being seen or killed by your own predator. If you break your cover and your target sees you, a chase sequence will commence. They will try to hide from you and you will have to catch and kill them.

Aside from the characters and the "Wanted" game mode, no specifics are known as of yet.

===Physics and Effects===

Ubisoft has stated that the graphics will be improved upon, as well as several physics in the game. Ragdolls will fall much more realisticly due to the new, edited "Havok" engine. In the other games, ragdolls sometimes would combust when hitting the floor after being thrown off a building.

In [[Assassin’s Creed II]], some PC players have stated that ragdolls such as the "Borgia [[Messenger]]" are more likely to fall unrealisticly, due to their cape that 'clips' through their body. In some instances, ragdolls would have fallen with their arms clipping through their backs and legs. These certain instances ''mostly'' happen when Ezio picks up a body and throws it back on the ground, however it could happen anytime.

===Controlling the Assassins===
Now that Ezio is a master assassin he practically has control of the assassin order during the Renaissance. During the game you will have the option to send [[assassins]] to areas to complete tasks. You will have the ability to send a group to Spain to complete an assassination. The new assassins are recruited when Ezio rescues them from some harassing guards, which leads to them joining the Assassins. You can have the ability to train young assassins and have them do jobs for you.

'''Claudia Auditore da Firenze''' (born 1461) is the sister of [[Ezio]], [[Federico Auditore|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore|Petruccio]], and the daughter of [[Giovanni Auditore|Giovanni]] and [[Maria Auditore]]. It is evident that she has been too spoiled by Giovanni: she is smart and kind, but she is immature. She is portrayed by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2711203/ Devery Jacobs] in both ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]'', and is voiced by [[Angela Galuppo]]. She appears to be close to her brother Ezio.

==Biography==
===''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''===
[[File:Claudia pettrucio lineage.png|thumb|left|Claudia dining with the rest of her family.]]
Claudia Auditore is a young [[Florence|Florentine]] girl from a noble family living during the 15th Century in Italy: the Renaissance. She is the daughter of Giovanni Auditore, an [[Assassin]], a "profession" of her father that she doesn't know.

===''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''===
In the beginning of the game when Ezio knows nothing of the assassin world, a mission you can accept from her is to beat up her cheating boyfriend. You can find him flirting with another girl.

After the tragic events that befell the Auditore family, Ezio vows to protect her, along with their mother, and escorts them both to the safety of the Villa Auditore. There, her uncle [[Mario Auditore da Firenze|Mario]] puts her to work keeping a book of finances for the Villa; a task she finds positively scandalous, since it involves "work".

==Trivia==
*Claudia is 15 years of age at the beginning of ''Assassin's Creed II''.
*Claudia is one of the few noticeable people who appear not to age over the course of the game. She remains at the same desk in the Villa Auditore for 23 years. Her only interaction with Ezio is asking if he is "...[there] to look at the book" of finances.
*Claudia has a violent streak and has trouble with men and other girls her age. She beat up a girl at her school for "looking at her boyfriend" and Giovanni had to raise her dowry by 1000 florins because she scared off all of her suitors.
*After Claudia found out her father and brothers were killed, it seemed like she had a huge v-shaped vein on across her forehead.

Rafiq

{{imageneed}}
A '''Rafik''' (or '''Rafiq''') is a graduated [[scholar]] of the Assassins in the second tier of the caste system (the Assassins being on top). Within the game, they provide information on where to acquire knowledge about targets and determine whether or not Altaïr is well-educated enough to perform an assassination. They are usually located in a [[Assassin's Bureau]], other Dai's and Rafiq's can be found in [[Masyaf]], though these Dai's and Rafiq's do not help you.

==Role==
In one of his conversations with [[Malik]] at the Assassin's Bureau in Jerusalem, Altaïr addresses Malik as "dai" (during the Majd Addin assignment). The ''dais'' are the direct representatives of the Imam, who is the exalted spiritual leader of the people. This means that Malik was made a ''dai'' after he pulled off the task that Altaïr failed to accomplish in the beginning. In the beginning of the story in the cut-out scene under the Temple, Altaïr states that he is of a higher [[rank]] than Malik. Altaïr is a [[Master Assassin]] and a field Instructor, which means that Malik is not yet a ''dai''. While devising a plan on how to approach [[Al Mualim]], Malik refers to Altaïr as dai (Al Mualim assassination) showing that he obtained the rank once giving the [[piece of eden]] to Al Mualim .
[[File:Malikbureau.png|thumb|Altaïr visits Malik, The Dai and leader of the Jerusalem Assassin's Bureau]]
The Bureau leaders in Acre and Damascus are ''rafiqs''. That is not their name but their rank. A ''rafiq'' is a first level instructor just beneath a ''dai''. Initially they are teachers and field contacts that provided Altaïr with where and when to best strike. But after Altaïr's major failure, Al Mualim places him under the entire [[Assassins|Assassin's Order]]. This results in rafiqs obtaining authoritative power over Altaïr. Rafiqs are then authorized to grant or deny the carrying out of a Assassination Contract, if Altaïr does not posess what they feel is enough information on the target. Once Altaïr has properly learned where and when the target will be, he is granted permission to perform the strike. But only after receiving the assassination feather marker. Rafiqs are also responsible for documenting information about the assassinations success, but also the information that the informers stationed around the cities have obtained. The informers seem to be under the authority of the rafiqs and answer to them. This is noted in how rafiqs seem to always have knowledge of the targets occupation and the area most occupied by them. But because rafiqs can't leave the bureau, informers gather information in the field and report back. With this information rafiqs direct Altair in the directions of where best to begin his search.

Each of them has a particular skill or talent which he may teach in addition to teaching philosophy, the Quran, and [[The Creed]]. Malik is a cartographer, or map maker. One of the ''rafiqs'' is a potter (Damascus) and the other is a [[scholar]]/scribe (Acre). Their given names are never said. They are only called ''rafiq'' as a title of respect.

The higher level teachers (Instructors) at [[Masyaf]] (Al Mualim's Library) are those who wear the white robes with a black ''djellaba'' and red decorative markings. They more than likely are the teachers who provide in depth education on philosophy and the politics of the world. Providing such knowledge educates and molds out to the assassin students how and why it is that a single assassination strike could change the land and affect history. Instructors probably help assassins better understand why our work is so important in maintaining peace. Al Mualim also wears this attire except his is all black, marking him as Master of the Assassins Order.

==''Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles''==
Altaïr encounters a Rafiq during his visit to [[Damascus]]. He is an old, nasty man and first challenges Altaïr in order to determine if he is enough trained. In his adventures, Altaïr also meets other Rafiqs (like [[Hamid]]) as well.

==''Assassin's Creed''==
There are three Rafiqs in three different cities (Damascus, [[Acre]], [[Jerusalem]]). The Rafiq of Jerusalem is [[Malik]].

==''Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines''==
Rafiqs do not really appear in the game, instead key Resistance members act similarly to Rafiqs and are situated in Safe Houses, not Assassin Bureaus.
