{{quote|It is a good life we live, brother.|Federico to Ezio}}

'''Federico Auditore da Firenze''' was the eldest son of [[Giovanni Auditore]] and [[Maria Auditore]], the older brother of [[Ezio Auditore|Ezio]], [[Claudia Auditore|Claudia]] and [[Petruccio Auditore|Petruccio]], and the nephew of [[Mario Auditore]].
He was a witty, sharp and funny individual who liked to tease his little brother Ezio, but wouldn't tolerate it if someone else harmed him. He started his training as an [[Assassin]] with his father before Ezio, who was unaware of this at the time.

==Biography==
===''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''===
[[File:Federicochess.png|thumb|left|Federico playing chess with Ezio.]]
Federico was eating dinner with the rest of the Auditore family as Giovanni left to intercept [[Rodrigo Borgia]].

He later played a game of chess against Ezio, and beat him at it quite handily.

When [[Antonio Maffei]] showed up at the [[palazzo Auditore|Palazzo Auditore]] and tried to capture Giovanni for the first time, Giovanni, having not yet recovered from his last fight, elected to escape. He told Federico to buy him time, telling him to "protect the family" at all costs. Federico succeeded in delaying the guards long enough for his father to leave. Federico then kicked the guards out of the house, reminding them "not to doubt the word of an Auditore again."

Being an Auditore, he was saved from harsher consequences

In 1476, as Ezio was fighting against a member of a rival noble family, [[Vieri de' Pazzi]], Federico showed up to help his brother. He proved to be an excellent fighter, and it can also be noted that he probably taught Ezio how to [[Free Running|free run]]. After Ezio and he won the fight, Federico instructed Ezio to loot money from the defeated enemies. After Ezio did so, he directed him to a [[doctor]].

Federico also enjoyed teasing his younger brother after the fight, particularly when they visit the doctor who treated the cuts that Ezio had received on his face. Afterwards, he and Ezio climbed to the top of the nearby church and took in the sights of [[Florence]].

The next day, he lounged about at home while Ezio ran around doing errands for their father, whereby Ezio teased him for this inactivity. Federico was later beaten and captured by the city guards, along with his father Giovanni, and little brother Petruccio. He was held prisoner overnight, while Ezio frantically tried to secure the release of his family. The next morning, Federico was [[Auditore Execution|hanged]] with his father and brother, as the victims of a [[Pazzi conspiracy|Templar conspiracy]]. Years later, [[Rodrigo Borgia]] would tell Ezio that there was no need to kill Federico and Petruccio; he had just wanted to make a point.

It is not clear how much about his true heritage Federico knew, if any, but he seemed to take Giovanni's instruction to "protect the family" to heart; as evidenced in his appearance at the beginning of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', no doubt making sure that Ezio did not get himself seriously hurt while fighting the Pazzi. It is clear that Free Running was taught to him by Giovanni, and he in turn probably taught it to Ezio.

==Trivia==
*Federico heavily resembles [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_I_de%27_Medici,_Grand_Duke_of_Tuscany Francesco I de' Medici] in his late teenage years, both in attire and facial properties.
*Federico started as an assassin but he was not mentioned in the Renaissance assassins
