<br />
'''Mario Auditore da Firenze''' is the uncle of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]]. He was trained with his [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|brother]] to become an Assassin, but unlike his brother who likes infiltration and stealth, he prefers combat and group maneuvers. He has become a [[wikipedia:Condottieri|condottiere]] leading a sizable group of mercenaries to fight against the [[Templars]] (and their interests) hidden among the local nobility. He proves to be a formidable ally of his nephew, Ezio (who he refers to as 'nipote', which means nephew in Italian) throughout the course of the game, and trains him to improve his fighting skills. He is shown to be extremely proud of his Assassin heritage and storms off when Ezio announces his decision to take Maria and Claudia to Spain.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
After rescuing Ezio from Vieri de Pazzi, Mario identifies himself by saying "It's-a me, Mario!" This is a reference to Nintendo's videogame mascot, [[wikipedia:Mario|Mario]], and his first and most famous spoken line. There are other references to the nintendo mascot, such as being dressed in red while his mercenaries are dressed in green (luigi), and having a brother.<br />
