'''Malik Al-Sayf''' is the leader of the [[Jerusalem]] [[Assassin's Bureau]]. One of the first assassins you meet in Solomon's Temple, he is a harsh, yet wise assassin who envies [[Altaïr]] due to his skill and rank in the guild. At first, his devotion to the Creed and [[Al Mualim]] is unbreakable and undeniable, yet he slowly gains a respect for Altaïr as he changes on his quest to redeem himself.

==History==

===Solomon's Temple===

Malik, along with his brother Kadar and Altaïr, was charged with capturing the Templar's Treasure, later found to be the [[Piece of Eden]] by Al Mualim. He forewarns Altaïr of his blatant disregard of the Creed when Altaïr murders an innocent old man beneath the Temple to hide their presence and considers compromising the Brotherhood for the chance to kill Robert de Sable. Eventually, Altaïr's stubbornness, headstrong attitude, and arrogance leads to the tragic failure of the mission, costing Malik his left arm and his brother's life. Malik however successfully escaped with the Piece of Eden, and arrived at Masyaf with his arm still attached but bleeding badly, implying it was amputated later.

===Jerusalem: 1st Visit===

When first meeting up with Altaïr in Jerusalem, Malik makes no effort to disguise his newfound hatred of Altaïr. Pointing out even the most subtle of flaws and the small haughtiness of his attitude whenever possible, the two have an unpleasant meeting when discussing the assassination of [[Talal the Slave Trader|Talal]]. Even though the assassination was a success, he criticizes Altaïr for triggering the City Alarm and alerting the citizens of Jerusalem to Talal's demise.

===Jerusalem: 2nd Visit===

Though his cold attitude toward Altaïr has gone through little to no changes, he expresses a small level of satisfaction when Altaïr asks for advice and begins to respect the Creed more. After the assassination, he notes that Altaïr had performed just as an assassin should -- no more, no less. When Altaïr says, "It seems everything I do troubles you," Malik suggests snidely for him to "Reflect on that. But do so on your way to Masyaf."

===Jerusalem: 3rd Visit===

When Altaïr visits Malik for the final time in Jerusalem, the easily angered and quick to criticize Malik has changed, speaking to Altaïr as a fellow assassin rather than the failure that had caused the tragedy in Solomon's Temple. After the skirmish at the funeral of [[Majd Addin]], Malik and Altaïr have a quick, heated argument over whether to chase [[Robert de Sable]] to [[Arsuf]] or return to [[Masyaf]] to seek the wisdom of Al Mualim. Altaïr argues that Malik uses the Creed as a shield, not seeing the entire truth but rather what Al Mualim wants him to see, and then suggests that Malik learns more of the Piece of Eden from the people of Jerusalem and Al Mualim while he hunts down Robert. Before their departure, Altaïr apologizes for his failure at Solomon's Temple, which Malik refuses because he feels that the Altaïr who stands before him at that moment is not the same one that had sparked the defeat at Solomon's Temple.

===Masyaf===

Malik makes his final appearance at Masyaf, aiding Altaïr in fending off the hypnotized assassins with loyal assassins still unaffected by the Piece of Eden. He then leads an assault at the back of the fortress, going on advice given from Altaïr as he personally deals with Al Mualim. His final appearance before the end of the Memory Block was at the revealing of the other locations of the Piece of Eden, where he catches up to Altaïr.

What happens afterwards to both Altaïr and Malik is currently unknown.Though Altair's Chronicles explains what hapens next.

'''Those Who Have Come Before''' are the beings who created the [[Piece of Eden|Pieces of Eden]] and the other ancient artifacts like it. Exactly how long ago they lived is unclear, but their technology is far beyond anything man has created alone by the 21st century. If what Warren Vidic claims is true, almost every major technological advancement of the last Millenium has been achieved by reverse engineering their technology. If the claims of the Templar’s are true, the Pieces of Eden were created thousands of years ago and were responsible for every major miracle, in effect, at least in the Templars eyes, disproving the existence of God. What exactly they were or how they died out or vanished is equally unclear. The idea of the ones who have come before could be based on the ancient astronaught theory, where alien life visited the earth or the legend of Atlantis. Their technology is apparently easy to operate as even Al Mualim who presumably didn’t know how the Piece of Eden actually did what it did, was able to wield one with ease. Curiously they programmed the Piece’s of Eden to each display the locations of the others presumably when they are damaged, though why this was done is unclear.

|period=Italian Renaissance (15th Century)
}}
'''Ezio Auditore da Firenze''' is to be the protagonist of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. He is an ancestor of [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]] and a descendant of [[Altaïr]].

==Biography==
===''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''===

[[File:Eziolineagechess.png|thumb|left|Ezio in ''Lineage'' playing chess with his brother [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]]. He is portrayed by [[wikipedia:Devon Bostick|Devon Bostick]].]]
Ezio is a young nobleman, son of [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni Auditore]], an [[Assassin]]. A secret that he doesn't know yet.

He has slight skills at playing chess, and he is "learning fast" according to his mother (though he lost against his older brother, [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]]).

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

[[File:QuickTimePlayer_2009-09-25_19-22-34-26.png|thumb|300px|Young Ezio trying to kill the ones who murdered his father after attending powerless to his execution.]]
Ezio is a young Florentine nobleman who lives in [[Florence]] during the 15th century. Unlike Altaïr, he is a seducer, and he easily blends with any social classes. He has an affluent lifestyle and many friends until a certain day. He and his family are betrayed, victims of a conspiracy that takes his [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|father]]'s life.

From that day, Ezio is considered as a criminal and a traitor, he has to protect his mother and his sister. He becomes an [[assassin]] to accomplish his vengeance against the ones responsible for the tragedy that befell on him and his family (it is possible that those men are [[Templars]]). Ezio is helped not only by his uncle [[Mario Auditore da Firenze|Mario]], but also [[Leonardo da Vinci]]

who becomes his best friend[[File:Ezio_and_Lorenzo.jpg|thumb|Ezio conversing with Lorenzo de Medici]] and his personal engineer, as well as [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] and other Italian Renaissance's famous figures.

Ezio will travel a cross Italy to various locations like [[Venice]], [[Tuscany]] and [[Rome]]. We will live a large period of Ezio's life through the game, from his youth to when he becomes an old Master Assassin. In ''Assassin's Creed II'', we will be playing approximately 30 years of his life from 1476 to 1503.

== Equipment ==
It has been announced that Ezio will be able to use a variety of weapons including two [[Hidden Blade|hidden blades]] and because of this he can eliminate two enemies simultaneously. He can also steal (and use) several enemy weapons such as an axe, a hammer, a mace, a spear, two different sword types(1 handed and 2 handed), and a halberd. Ezio will be able to use Da Vinci's flying machine in some parts of the game, gaining altitude from fires set throughout the city by his allies. In addition to the hidden blades, Ezio will have many upgrades by Da Vinci on his wrist device like a firearm of some sort (most likely an early wheel lock firearm) concealed near his left hidden blade, or a poison needle. Ezio is said to possess the ability to use [[Eagle Vision]] while moving . Armors can be bought to upgrade his protection and his clothes' colors are customizable. HE can also you the poison blade.

==Trivia==
* The Italian name 'Ezio' derives from the Greek word 'Aetos', which means "Eagle", similar to Altaïr whose name means "The Flying Eagle".
* Unlike Altaïr (who had his ring finger removed to make way for the [[Hidden Blade]]), Ezio has all ten fingers (as evidenced by the fact he wears a ring-either a signet or wedding ring- marked with the Assassin's symbol). This may be made possible by a newer Hidden Blade (created by da Vinci), placed further from the palm.
* Ezio uses a wheel lock firearm, a type of weapon that Europe didn't start developing until the very late 1400's and early 1500's, making this weapon most likely one of the very first firearms to appear in Europe, thus many people may not know what the weapon is in game. The earliest firearms were single shot and took time to reload, so will most likely be only used as a last resort weapon. Also note that Da Vinci created some of the first modern wheel lock pistols, so this could be a shortened version of one.
* Ezio's face in ''Assassin's Creed II'' seems to be a mixture of Desmond's one ([[wikipedia:Francisco Randez|Francisco Randez]]) and Devon Bostick's from ''Lineage''.
