The presumed '''Sixth Apple''' is the focal [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] throughout the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]], and is a piece of ancient but technologically advanced equipment created by [[Those Who Came Before]].

'''Use:''' Designed to create illusions and to control human minds, and can be used in conjunction with [[the Staff]] (presumably as can other Apples). Also contains knowledge of many technologies used by Those Who Came Before.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

'''Status:''' Hidden by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] in a [[Colosseum Vault|First Civilization Vault]] beneath the [[Santa Maria Aracoeli]] in [[Rome]] between 1503 and 1507.

==History==
{{main|The Apple's journey}}
[[Image: Zw-acbh-3.jpg|250px|Ezio trying to decide the Apple's fate.|thumb]]
After escaping [[Vaticano district|the Vatican]], Ezio and Mario took to the rooftops and made their way to a high tower overlooking the [[Tiber River]]. Once there, Ezio withdrew the Apple of Eden from his cloak and prepared to drop it into the river, however, he hesitated. Acknowledging that destroying such a powerful artifact wasn't a decision to be taken lightly, Mario offered to keep the Apple safe until Ezio had made up his mind, and the two rode back to their base of operations in the fortress town of [[Monteriggioni]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

During the [[Siege of Monteriggioni]], Mario was killed by Cesare Borgia, who took the Apple for himself. Four years later, Ezio managed to retrieve the Apple from where it had been hidden by Rodrigo Borgia, in [[Basilica di San Pietro|St. Peter's Basilica]]. He used it to demilitarize Cesare's army, and look into the future to locate Cesare in [[Viana]] in 1507. Realizing the power of the Apple, Ezio hid it in a Vault beneath the Santa Maria Aracoeli.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

There, it was uncovered in 2012 by Desmond Miles, who made use of the [[Bleeding effect]] to retrieve it.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Abilities==
[[File:Al_Mualim_9_copies.jpg|thumb|250px|Al Mualim creating copies of himself, while restricting Altaïr's movements.]]
In 1191, the Apple was used by Al Mualim to coerce the members of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] into obeying his will, namely, killing Altaïr. The Apple was also shown to be capable of neural paralysis, the creation of up to nine hologram doubles, and the partial blindness of any target. Additionally, it revealed a map of the world indicating the locations of various Pieces of Eden.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

In 1499, Ezio used the Apple in Rome to dispel the effects of the Staff of Eden, as well as to create four hologram doubles. While these doubles could not deal damage, they were able to distract Rodrigo during their battle. After Rodrigo stole the Apple, he combined it with the Staff to paralyze Ezio, then to create the key to [[Vatican Vault|the Vault]], which he claimed held a "god-felling weapon." In the Vault, [[Minerva]] upgraded the Apple.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

[[File:Usingapple.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Ezio using the Apple's power.]]
In 1503, Ezio was briefly able to use the Apple as a weapon. By charging it, a golden perimeter spreads around him, followed by a smaller, white perimeter (though these circles decrease slightly upon release). Enemies within the golden circle of effect will proceed to fight each other, while enemies in the white circle will fall to the ground in agony, which is depicted as a kill-by-insanity.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

If the golden perimeter affects an enemy when there is no other enemy around to attack (or if all other enemies have already been killed) the affected enemy will just fall to his knees and beg for mercy. The Apple can also be used in a counter-attack, where briefly activating its effects just as an enemy attacks results in an instant kill.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Using the Apple appears to weaken its user; though it is unknown whether this is due to overuse of its powers, or of a [[Synchronization|desynchronization]] between Desmond's and Ezio's memories.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

==Trivia==
[[Image:Altair Apple.jpg|thumb|225px|Altaïr using the Apple to calm a mob.]]
* The Apple is mentioned as an important icon in many religious writings; most notably as the "fruit of knowledge" in the Garden of Eden.
* The Apple affects and can potentially kill almost anyone, including allies (such as [[mercenaries]] and [[Apprentices|Assassin recruits]]) and [[civilians]].
* Using the Apple will drain the player's health, with a greater area of effect draining a greater amount of health; though health will recover faster over time.
* In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', Lucy categorically states that the Apple destroyed in the [[DIA satellite accident]] (labeled "[[Second Apple|no. 2]]" in the [[E-mails#Conference Room Email|conference room e-mail]]) was the same one possessed by Altaïr; however, in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', it is revealed that this same Apple still exists, and was stored in the [[Colosseum Vault]] between 1506 and 2012.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood outfits

{{Spoilerhd}}
{{revamp}}
In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', several '''outfits''' are available to those who complete certain challenges. Once an outfit is unlocked and equipped, it will alter [[Ezio Auditore]]'s appearance, but, unlike [[armor]], most of the costumes will not affect any other gameplay elements.

Outfits can be unlocked through a variety of methods, which are enumerated below.

==Capes==
[[File:ACB-PlainCape.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Plain Cape]]
===Plain Cape===
Available from the beginning, this cape has no effect on [[Social Stealth|Notoriety]], and is the only cape that can be dyed.
{{-}}

[[File:ACBAuditoreCape1.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Auditore Cape]]

===Auditore Cape===
This cape is unlocked by completely rebuilding the city of Rome.

Originally handcrafted by [[Maria Auditore da Firenze]] in her mourning of a [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|lost child]], this cape allows Ezio to show his pride for the [[House of Auditore|Auditore family]]. It was lost during the Siege of Monteriggioni and given to Rodrigo Borgia's youngest son, Jofré Borgia as a war gift.

Ezio reacquires the cape after rebuilding Rome to 100% when the Assassins stole it from Jofre's collection. It also makes Ezio permanently Incognito - a very useful feature when you wish to explore the various districts and obtain their many collectibles without being harassed by guards. Once you remove the cape, your Notoriety gauge will return to its original level.
{{-}}

[[File:ACBBorgiaCape.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Borgia Cape]]

===Borgia Cape===
The Borgia Cape is unlocked by removing all 101 [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] [[flags]] from Rome.

Functionally identical to the Auditore cape, notoriety stays at zero while the cape is worn and resets to its original level when removed.
{{-}}

[[File:ACB-MediciCape.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Medici Cape]]
===Medici Cape===
Unlocked in ''project legacy'' by completing the Auditore [[Mnemonic sets|Mnemonic set]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''. This cape does not affect notoriety and cannot be dyed.

It can also be [[Artifacts|found at Monteriggioni while playing with Desmond]], however, it can't be used by him.

{{-}}

[[File:ACB-VenetianCApe.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Venetian Cape]]

===Venetian Cape===
Unlocked by completing the Auditore [[Mnemonic sets|Mnemonic set]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''. This cape does not affect notoriety and cannot be dyed.

{{-}}

==General Appearance==
: ''"Once the basics are covered, Ezio may divert some of his income toward the sartorial elegance that is deserved of a major player in Roman political affairs. The Tailor now offers 15 new clothes and cape dyes, devoid of any gameplay influence and included purely for the pleasure of defining Ezio in your chosen style and aesthetic."'' - The Complete Official Guide: ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.

[[File:ACBAltaïrArmor.jpg|thumb|left|Armor of Altaïr]]
===Armor of Altaïr===
{{main|Armor of Altaïr}}
Unlocked by purchasing on [[Uplay]] for 20 Uplay Units.

The [[Grand Master of the Assassin's Order|Grand Master]] Robes of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]. Worn by Ezio Auditore after completing all of the [[Assassin's Tombs]] in ''Assassin's Creed II''. In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', it is worn in the last [[Cristina Memories|Cristina memory]], and in the beginning of the game until it is lost in the [[Fall of Monteriggioni|Siege of Monteriggioni]]. Although it is says it is the armor, it does NOT change the defense stats of what you had before, as it is only an outfit.

{{-}}

[[File:ACBAltaïr.jpg|thumb|left|Altaïr's Robes]]
===Altaïr's Robes===
Unlocked by purchasing on Uplay for 20 Uplay Units.

Accesses [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s skin from the Animus databases, though it will not affect Ezio's current equipment, armor settings or the abilities of the cape he was previously wearing. The outfit actually loads the model of Altaïr, rather than just his clothing, as is visible from color of his eyes, which are lighter than Ezio's, and the fact that the player is silent during taunts, rather than using Ezio's voice. Altaïr's missing finger can also be seen on the character model when this outfit is equipped.

==Trivia==
*When you unlock a General Appearance outfit, they become available during your next play through.
*The effect of the Auditore Cape in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' is the reverse of its effect in ''Assassin's Creed II''.
*Unlike in the game itself, the image of Altaïr's Robes in your inventory depicts Ezio wearing the robes, rather than Altaïr, as seen by his beard. The outfit also does not bear the beak-shaped hood, and shows Ezio wielding Altaïr's short blade, which is missing from its sheath in the game and is unusable.
*The image of Raiden's Outfit depicts Ezio unsheathing Raiden's katana, the High Frequency Blade, although it is not usable or present in the game.
*The Borgia Captain armor itself, though being worn by Ezio, appears red in [[Eagle Vision]].
*The Medici Cape can also be found at Monteriggioni while playing with Desmond, however, it has no real purpose in the game other than being a collectible.
*Diving while wearing the Florentine Attire will cause Ezio to have Desmond's head until he reaches the water surface again.
