[[File:Armour_of_Romulus.jpg|thumb|300px|Ezio wearing the Armor of Brutus.]]
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]]. 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==
The armor looks much bulkier than [[Ezio Auditore]]'s [[Master Assassin]] robes due to the fur cloak that is padded along the pauldron. The fur is implied to be a tribute to Romulus, and thus is likely to be wolf fur. 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|Assassin symbol]] would normally be, which has been relocated to be engraved right above it, on the mid-abdomen section of the armor (a second Assassin's symbol 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, the bottoms 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.

==Trivia==
*The Armor of Brutus gives the same amount of health to Ezio as the Seusenhofer armor set, though the latter allows Ezio to wear his regular, customizable robes.
*It is unexplained as to why the armor is so durable, unlike the Armor of Altaïr, which had been fortified based on knowledge from the [[Sixth Apple|Apple of Eden]], as explained in the [[Codex]].
*The Armor of Brutus is much older than the Armor of Altaïr, yet how it managed to remain as strong as the armor of Altaïr - when his armor was made using a special formulae gleaned from the Apple of Eden - remains unknown.
*The Armor of Brutus, does not have a Hidden Gun, or a Poison Blade, on the wrist.

'''Micheletto Corella''' (1470 - ?) was a ''condottiero'', at one point the governor of [[wikipedia:Piombino|Piombino]] and a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Micheletto Corella was born in Valencia, Spain, but grew up in [[Rome]], [[Italy]]. He became a childhood friend of [[Cesare Borgia]] and became his protector.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

===Serving the Borgia===
Micheletto would go on to serve the Borgia for the rest of his life, particularly Cesare. He became Cesare's personal executioner, killing any who stood in Cesare's way. He also became a ''condottiero'' and the governor of Piombino for a short time.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

====Siege of Monteriggioni====
In January 1500, Micheletto accompanied Cesare to [[Siege of Monteriggioni|lay siege]] to [[Monteriggioni]] in order to take down the [[House of Auditore|Auditore]] and acquire the [[Sixth Apple|Apple of Eden]]. They went home victorious with the Apple and [[Mario Auditore]]'s life taken.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

====Murders====
Many of these murders went unrecorded, though a few managed to be kept known throughout the years.

On 18 August 1500, [[wikipedia:Alfonso of Aragon|Alfonso of Aragon]], the husband of Cesare's sister [[Lucrezia Borgia]] was killed by Micheletto on Cesare's order, as the latter was jealous of Alfonso.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

In 1502, Micheletto killed Giulio Cesare da Varano and three of his sons in order for Cesare to be able to take over [[wikipedia:Camerino|Camerino]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Micheletto killed [[wikipedia:Astorre III Manfredi|Astorre III Manfredi]], the Lord of [[wikipedia:Faenza|Faenza]], on 9 June 1502 inside the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

On 31 December 1502, Micheletto simultaneously strangled [[wikipedia:Oliverotto da Fermo|Oliverotto da Fermo]] and [[wikipedia:Vitellozzo Vitelli|Vitellozzo Vitelli]] for conspiring against Cesare.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

====Teaching Giovanni====
At times between 1500 and 1503, Micheletto was left to guard and teach [[Giovanni Borgia]], Cesare's adoptive son and Lucrezia's biological child. He attempted to teach Giovanni to be tough and merciless, strangling an old man who was talking with Giovanni and beating him. Thus, Giovanni grew to hate Micheletto and this became one of the reasons for him to walk away from home.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

===Final tasks===
In 1503, Micheletto accompanied Cesare to a meeting with [[Francesco Troche]], who had told his brother [[Egidio Troche|Egidio]] of Cesare's plans for [[Romagna]]. Egidio had sent letters to the ambassador of [[Venice]] to warn him, though these letters were intercepted. Francesco attempted to have Cesare spare his life, but he was ultimately strangled to death by Micheletto and his body was thrown in the [[Tiber River]]. Micheletto then continued on to meet with some Borgia guards, giving them costumes with which they could infiltrate the [[Colosseum Passion Play]] to kill [[Pietro Rossi]], Lurezia's latest lover. Unbeknownst to him, he was being followed by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], who had sent his [[apprentices]] to take down all the guards carrying the costumes and take them.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Ezio continued to follow Micheletto to the Colosseum. Ezio took down all the Borgia [[arquebusiers]] and put on his costume. Micheletto and Ezio both joined in the play and as soon as Ezio came close to Micheletto, the latter was stabbed by Ezio. However, Ezio did not finish him off, saying that Micheletto would bring himself down by aiding Cesare.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Cesare later killed his father, [[Rodrigo Borgia|Pope Alexander VI]], after the latter attempted to poison Cesare. As a result, the Borgias' influence over Rome was gone and Cesare became powerless. He had sent Micheletto to gather an army to take back Rome, though he never arrived and instead, Cesare was captured by the [[Papal Guard]]. Micheletto fled Rome, though he was captured on the order of [[wikipedia:Pope Julius II|Pope Julius II]]. His fate remains unknown.

==Final words==
(As Ezio makes to stab Micheletto, he laughs.)

'''Micheletto''': ''You cannot save Pietro. The wine he drank was poisoned. As I promised Cesare, I made doubly sure.'' (Ezio gets up and leaves him.) ''I am not yet dead.''

'''Ezio''': ''I did not come here to kill you. He who is the cause of someone else becoming powerful is the agent of his own destruction.''

==Trivia==
*During a mission, where you have to rescue Volpe's theives, who were spying on Cesare, after their cover was blown, one of the thieves refered to Micheletto as Cesare's "butcher".
*In the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (mobile game)|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' mobile game]], Micheletto is called '''Michelotto'''.
*When assassinating Micheletto, he will be wearing a black shirt, when he is saying his ''Final words'' he is wearing ordinary clothes.
