== ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' ==
In the first game, '''Feathers''' are used by [[Assassins]] such as [[Altaïr]] to prove that an assassination target is dead. By staining a feather with the blood of the slain, they prove their accomplishment. [[Assassins' Bureau]] leaders always give the chosen Assassin a feather, symbolizing that they are ready to perform the assassination. In the case of [[Altaïr]], he must perform his own [[investigations]], so the leader decides whether or not his investigation is sufficient.

Among Assassins, a "feather on one's head" means a mark of death. For example, an Informant assassin in the Rich District of [[Damascus]] makes the remark "I hear there is a feather on [[Abul Nuqoud|Abul Nuqoud's]] head," implying that he is marked for assassination.

==''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''==

In ''Assassin's Creed II'', [[Petruccio Auditore|Petruccio]] asks [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] to collect three feathers for him. After the murder of Ezio's [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|father]] and two brothers ([[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]] and Petruccio), his mother, [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|Maria Auditore]] prays over Petruccio's feather. As Ezio travels across Italy (with the exception of [[Rome]] and the [[Apennine Mountains]]) he is able to collect more feathers and return these to a box in Maria's room in the [[Auditore Family Villa]].

After co[[File:Feather_-_Florence_SG_2--article_image.jpg|thumb]]llecting 50 Feathers [[Mario Auditore]] speaks with Ezio and lets him know that there is a new weapon, the [[Blacksmiths|Condottiero War Hammer]], waiting for him at the [[Monteriggioni]] blacksmith.

After collecting 100 Feathers, Maria thanks Ezio for not giving up on her, and presents him with the [[Outfits|Auditore Cape]].

===Achievements===
Collecting all 100 Feathers gives the Achievement/Trophy "In Memory of Petruccio" and the Auditore family Cape. Owning the Auditore Cape is necessary to complete the "Show Your Colors" Achievement/Trophy.

===Locations===
The website [http://www.thehiddenblade.com/feathers The Hidden Blade] has maps for [[Monteriggioni]], [[San Gimignano]], [[Tuscany]], [[Romagna]], and each district of [[Florence]] and [[Venice]] with numbered markers for the locations of every feather. When you hover your mouse over a marker, a screen shot of the feather in-game pops up. Click on the marker for a high resolution version of the screen shot. The maps also include glyphs in the same manner. These maps were created by Asaic and thus do not infringe on the copyrighted maps from the Official Game Guide by Prima Games.

Beneath each map is a video walkthrough of all the feathers and glyphs. These videos demonstrate an efficient collection route and follow the numerical order of the feathers on the maps. They were created by stabguy and IanXO4 to assist players who wish to quickly collect all of the feathers and glyphs or recheck a district for one missing feather. Total running time of the walkthrough is 65 minutes including unedited travel from one feather to the next.
