Always at the end of the current memory
|Name
*Firm in her belief and confident that she can put an end to the machinations of her enemies, Aveline disobeys Agaté and boards a slave ship bound to an unknown location. This decision further strays their relationship.
|Level
*With de Ferrer dead and the slave colony free, Aveline travels back to New Orleans. Upon her return, she finds a world very different than the one she had left. Yet, the identity of the Company Man remains a mystery.
|Cost (Upgrade)
[@#]Deciphering clues left behind by her long lost mother lead Aveline to a cenote's entrance where her treasure hunt begins.
|Modifiers (Upgrade)
[@#]After discovering a plot to force her mentor out of hiding, Aveline journeys to the bayou, determined to win back Agaté's trust and refusing to give up on the Brotherhood.
|Requirements
[@#]The documents found aboard the Spanish ship contained orders to travel to Chichen Itza and reclaim the worksite. Fearing for her mother's safety – and perhaps hoping to find the second half of the Prophecy Disk – Aveline returns to Chichen Itza.
|-
[@#]Having secured the second part of the Prophecy Disk, Aveline travels back to New Orleans to continue her search for Vázquez, the man she believes is the Company Man.
!Tailored Musketeer Breeches
[@#]Despite her father's ill health, Aveline continues her search for the man called Vázquez.
|◆◆◆
[@#]George Davidson gave just enough clues as to the identity of the Company Man. It is with a heavy heart that Aveline returns home.
|1000₣ (1000 Sync points)
[@#]Following a confrontation with the Company Man, Madeleine de L'Isle – her beloved stepmother – Aveline finds herself confused and alone. She journeys to the bayou to seek Agaté's counsel, and test her own faith in the Brotherhood.
|Falling Damage: 4% (9%)<br>Falling Noise: 10% (13%)<br>Running Noise: 15% (18%)
[@#]Agaté's failure as an Assassin and his lack of trust in Aveline leaves her completely adrift. She returns to Madeleine, ready to embrace her stepmother’s cause.

'''Ezio Auditore da Firenze''' (1459 – 1524) was a [[Florence|Florentine]] nobleman during the [[Renaissance]], and, unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers, a [[Master Assassin]] and the [[Mentor]] of the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins|Italian Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]], a title which he held from 1503 to 1513. He is also an ancestor of [[William Miles|William]] and [[Desmond Miles]], as well as [[Clay Kaczmarek]].


A member of the [[House of Auditore]], Ezio remained unaware of his Assassin heritage until the age of 17, when he witnessed the hanging of [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|his father]] and two brothers, [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]]. Forced to flee his birthplace with his remaining family members—his [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|mother]] and [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|sister]]—Ezio took refuge with his [[Mario Auditore|uncle]] in the [[Tuscany|Tuscan]] town of [[Monteriggioni]], at the [[Villa Auditore]].

After learning of his heritage from Mario, Ezio began his Assassin training and set about on his quest for vengeance against the [[Templars|Templar Order]], and their [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Master]], the Spaniard [[Rodrigo Borgia]], who had ordered the execution of his kin.

During his travels, Ezio managed to not only unite the pages of the [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex|Codex]], written by [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], Mentor of the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins]], but also to save the cities of Florence, [[Venice]], and [[Rome]] from Templar rule.

In the years that followed, Ezio began a quest to rediscover the lost history of the Order. Travelling to the aged fortress of [[Masyaf]] in order to learn more of the Assassins before him, he discovered it overrun with Templars and made his way to the city of [[Constantinople]] to uncover the location of the [[Masyaf Keys|Masyaf keys]] which, as he discovered, would unlock the fortress's fabled [[Library of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|hidden library]] when brought together.

A decade later, Ezio had retired and resided in a Tuscan villa with his wife, [[Sofia Sartor]], and his two children; [[Flavia Auditore|Flavia]] and [[Marcello Auditore|Marcello]]. Some time after helping teach the [[Chinese Assassins|Chinese Assassin]] [[Shao Jun]] the ways of the Brotherhood, Ezio died of a heart attack at the age of 65, during a visit to Florence with his wife and daughter.

;Infinite Knowledge
Ezio was born in [[Florence|Firenze]] on 24 June 1459, as the second eldest child of [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]] and [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|Maria Auditore]]. Although he appeared to be stillborn at first, he began crying after some words of encouragement from his father.

Until the age of 17, Ezio lived a life of contentment and luxury as a member of the Florentine noble class with his siblings: his older brother [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], his young sister [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia]] and his younger brother [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]]. He was apprenticed to renowned banker [[Giovanni Tornabuoni]],<ref name="Lineage">''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''</ref> who worked alongside Giovanni Auditore's [[Auditore International Bank|banking business]], but was all the while unaware of his father's allegiance to the Assassin Order.<ref name="AC2"/> By 1473, Ezio lived with his family in the [[Palazzo Auditore]] in Florence.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Database: Palazzo Auditore]]</ref>

One evening in 1476, Ezio spotted the beautiful [[Cristina Vespucci]] at a square and, encouraged by his brother Federico, introduced himself to her. Because of his awkwardness, she was not particularly impressed and declined to give him her name before continuing on her way. Nonetheless, Ezio followed Cristina home, where she was confronted by [[Vieri de' Pazzi]].<ref name="Second Chance">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[A Second Chance]]</ref>

Cristina repeatedly rejected his advances, but Vieri ignored her and prepared to force himself on her, at which point Ezio intervened. The two men began a fistfight, with Ezio emerging victorious. Vieri swore vengeance against Ezio before running off, and Cristina thanked Ezio for helping her. She introduced herself to Ezio and kissed him, assuring him that he had earned his "second chance", and a relationship blossomed between the two.<ref name="Second Chance"/>

On 26 December 1476, Ezio, Federico and friends of the family fought with Vieri de' Pazzi and his gang on the [[Ponte Vecchio]].

Ezio pummelled several members of the opposing gang, but Vieri fled the scene before Ezio could do anything to him.

After Ezio finished his chores, he was summoned by Giovanni, who asked him to deliver two letters to contacts of his in the city and retrieve a third letter from a nearby [[pigeon coop]]. Ezio complied although two odd encounters with Giovanni's contacts left him confused. As he retrieved the note from the pigeon coop, Ezio witnessed a group of guards running across Florence.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Special Delivery]]</ref>

Returning home, Ezio found his house ransacked, his father and brothers missing, and his mother and sister hiding. The housemaid [[Annetta]], not recognizing Ezio at first, tried to strike him with a frying pan, but missed. She informed Ezio that the city guards arrested his father and brothers and brought them to the [[Palazzo della Signoria]].

And all these things were done in secret.


Climbing the Palazzo and speaking to his father through the window of his cell, Ezio was instructed to find a hidden chest in his office, take everything out of it, and deliver a sealed letter to [[Uberto Alberti]], Gonfaloniere of Florence and a close friend of the Auditore family.<ref name="Jailbird"/> Ezio did so, and donned his father's Assassin robes, finding also a sword, a broken [[Hidden Blade]], a [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex|coded page]] and a letter containing details of a plot against the city of Florence and the Auditore family.

And Cain said: truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret.


Ezio brought the incriminating documents to Uberto and was assured that his family would be released the following day, when the information was presented as evidence of their innocence. Ezio noticed [[Rodrigo Borgia|an ominous hooded figure]] in Uberto's house, but had no idea who he was. Uberto asked Ezio if he would like to stay the night, but he declined and spent the night at Cristina Vespucci's house instead.<ref name="Family Heirloom"/><ref name="Renaissance">''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]''</ref>

The next day, 29 December 1476, Ezio made his way to the [[Piazza della Signoria]], where Uberto presided over the execution of his family.

That night, Ezio met with Cristina who by now had heard about the execution of his family. Together, they went to the Piazza della Signoria to recover the corpses of his father and brothers in the hopes of giving them proper last rites, only to discover that their bodies had already been removed. After beating up a guard, Ezio learned from him that the guards of the city plan to dump the bodies into the [[Arno]]. Ezio and Cristina hurried to a small dock on the river, where they found his family's bodies awaiting disposal. In his anger, Ezio initially wanted to stealthily kill all the guards at the dock, but Cristina protested, reminding him that the guards were merely people doing their jobs. Sympathizing with her conscience, Ezio was able to move each of the corpses onto a docked boat without alerting or harming any of the guards. After performing the last rites with a pyre, Ezio proposed to Cristina to flee Florence with him, but she declined due to her duties to her family.

Ezio wasted no time heading over to [[Bottega di Leonardo|Leonardo's workshop]] the following day. There, he handed him the broken hidden blade and the coded page for inspection.

After Leonardo repaired the blade, a guard banged on the door and ordered Leonardo outside before viciously beating him to wring Ezio's location out of him, but Leonardo continued to feign ignorance. Ezio realized something was wrong and crept up behind the guard, killing him with the Hidden Blade before hiding the body in Leonardo's workshop.<ref name="Ace Up My Sleeve"/>

After Leonardo had thanked him, Ezio sought out and assassinated Uberto in the courtyard of the [[Basilica of Santa Croce|Basilica di Santa Croce]] during [[Andrea del Verrocchio]]'s latest exhibit. Once he had made his way into the courtyard, Ezio waited in the shadows for an opportunity to strike. After hearing Uberto and the attendant nobles deride his family, he emerged from the crowd and attacked Uberto in a frenzied rage, stabbing him multiple times in the chest, before furiously proclaiming the survival of the Auditore family—through him—to the crowd of shocked guests.<ref name="JJE">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Judge, Jury, Executioner]]</ref>

Now the most wanted man in Florence, Ezio fled the city with his mother and sister in the hopes of making their way to [[Spain]], stopping beforehand at the [[Villa Auditore|Auditore family's villa]] in [[Monteriggioni]] for shelter.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Arrivederci]]</ref> As they neared the town, the three were accosted by Vieri de' Pazzi and his followers but were saved by the timely arrival of Ezio's uncle, Mario Auditore, and his [[Mercenary|mercenaries]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Roadside Assistance]]</ref>


Mario informed Ezio of the existence of the Assassins in an obvious attempt to induct him into the Brotherhood. He spent some time teaching Ezio [[Sword|swordplay]] and revealed that many of his ancestors, including Giovanni, were members of the Assassin Brotherhood and had been fighting the [[Templars|Templar Order]], which had ordered the execution of his family, for centuries. However, after a year of training, Ezio refused his heritage, wishing only to continue his journey to Spain for his mother's and sister's safety with the help of the skills Mario had taught him.<ref name="Practice Makes Perfect">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Practice Makes Perfect]]</ref>

Dejected, Mario left Monteriggioni for the city of [[San Gimignano]], where Vieri had been located, in an attempt to relieve Monteriggioni of continual assaults by the Pazzi's minions.

When Ezio arrived outside the city, he joined Mario and his mercenaries in their assault, and they waited until nightfall to storm the city. After witnessing a brief Templar meeting between a Spaniard, [[Jacopo de' Pazzi]], [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] and Vieri about schemes against Florence, Ezio made for his target. While Mario and his mercenaries kept Vieri's men distracted, Ezio challenged and fought Vieri for the last time, eventually overpowering and killing him after a brief duel.<ref name="What Goes Around">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[What Goes Around]]</ref>


Ezio tried to extract a confession from his old enemy, though Vieri chose to be snide to the very end. Infuriated, Ezio flew into a rage and insulted Vieri's corpse, continuing until his uncle calmed him down and reminded him of a tradition of the Assassins: showing respect to those they have killed and not becoming like their enemy. On his enemy's corpse, Ezio found a page like the one he recovered in his father's chest. He also found a letter from [[Giovanni Giocondo]] to Vieri's father.<ref name="What Goes Around"/>

Returning to Monteriggioni, Mario revealed to Ezio that the Spaniard was Rodrigo Borgia, the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order]] in [[Roman Rite of the Templar Order|Italy]]. Ezio then decided to track every Templars responsible for the death of his kin, beginning his quest in Florence against the Pazzi plot in the city. Before Ezio left the city, Mario showed him a wall in the villa which had scattered pages of a book laid out onto it. He explained that Ezio father and him had tried to recover and decipher the pages of the [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex|Codex]] of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], a legendary Assassin Mentor who had a [[Piece of Eden]] two centuries ago and wrote in his codex the location of a [[Vatican Vault|vault]] with a powerful secret. Ezio saw that there were the same pages as the ones he found on Vieri and his father's chest and decided to take on the work of his father to collect all the pages and to decipher it with the help of Leonardo da Vinci.<ref name="A Change of Plans">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[A Change of Plans]]</ref>

Mario also showed to his nephew the [[Sanctuary]] under the villa, a room that commemorated six legendary figures of the Assassin Brotherhood. In the Sanctuary, the [[Armor of Altaïr]] was locked by [[Domenico Auditore|Ezio's great-great-grandfather]] a century ago. Mario explained that he had heard rumours of hidden [[Assassin Tombs]] in Italy with [[Assassin Seals]] which could unlock the armor but that he had given up on the endeavour of finding them all in his old age.<ref name="A Change of Plans"/>

Following Vieri's death, Ezio returned to Florence in April 1478 to gather information on a conspiracy against the [[House of Medici|Medici]], who had been family friends to the Auditore. However, Ezio chose to visit Cristina first. She was quite surprised to see him but admitted in distress that she had been betrothed as she had thought she would never see him again. Suddenly, a woman screamed from outside that a man named [[Manfredo Soderini|Manfredo]] was in trouble with several gamblers and was being dragged out to the end of a new bridge in the city. The embarrassed Cristina clarified to Ezio that Manfredo was her fiancé, and Ezio hastily took off to the bridge to rescue him. Sure enough, he found him in a fight with several thugs he was indebted to. After defeating the men, Ezio, enraged by Manfredo's irresponsibility, demanded for his affirmation that he truly loved Cristina, that he cease his gambling habit, and that he would be a good husband to her or he would hunt him down and kill him.<ref name="Best Man">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Best Man]]</ref>


Returning to Cristina in an alleyway afterwards, he kissed her, promising that he had made sure her husband would be good to her, and then left. He did not notice her sudden confusion and ire because whereas he had believed accepting Manfredo's love for her had been the right thing to do, Cristina's heart had still been with Ezio, and she had expected him to find a way for them to be together again.<ref name="Best Man" /><ref name="Persona Non Grata">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Persona Non Grata]]</ref>

With Cristina behind him, Ezio proceeded to Leonardo's workshop. Here, too, he surprised his old friend, who had believed he was dead. Leonardo constructed him a second Hidden Blade with the Codex pages and helped him train with the techniques instructed by the Codex. With information provided by Leonardo, Ezio sought out [[La Volpe]], a thief who operated at the [[Mercato Vecchio]], for intel.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Practice What You Preach]]</ref> While there, on April 25th, Ezio had his purse stolen by a thief, [[Corradin]].

The next day, Ezio arrived at the Duomo to try and prevent the public assassination, but he was unsuccessful. Francesco de' Pazzi and [[Bernardo Baroncelli]] were able to kill [[Giuliano de' Medici]] and injure Lorenzo. Ezio came to Lorenzo's aid and fended off Francesco. However, the Pazzi had already succeeded in their plan and brought the city into a state of civil war. After escorting Lorenzo to the safety of [[Palazzo Medici|his palazzo]], Ezio revealed his identity, prompting Lorenzo to remark that he had known Ezio's father.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Wolves in Sheep's Clothing]]</ref> Lorenzo's lieutenant, [[Angelo Ambrogini|Poliziano]], told Ezio that Francesco had been sighted at the Piazza della Signoria. As Pazzi and Medici's troops battled in the streets below them, Ezio chased down and slew Francesco at the top of the old town hall, but Jacopo de' Pazzi and several other conspirators were able to escape the city.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Farewell Francesco]]</ref>


Shortly afterwards, Ezio met up with Lorenzo at the [[Ponte Vecchio]]. Lorenzo reminisced that as a child he had fallen into the Arno and would have drowned had he not been saved by Giovanni Auditore. This act of kindness kindled a close friendship between the Auditore and the Medici families. When Ezio asked of the conspirators, Lorenzo explained that they had fled the city. With this, the Medici publicly cleared the name of the Auditore family and provided Ezio with the names of the conspirators who had escaped. Lorenzo also gave Ezio a Codex page that Francesco de' Pazzi had held once.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Four to the Floor]]</ref>

One day while Ezio was concluding his training in evasive techniques and disarming enemies, he and Mario received an alert by a mercenary that Jacopo and his fellow surviving conspirators had been located and that their Monteriggionesi forces were ready to attack. Ezio rendezvoused with [[Gambalto]] outside [[Santa Maria Assunta]] in [[San Gimignano]] where the mercenary reported that one of the conspirators, [[Antonio Maffei]], was atop one of the town's tallest towers screaming Biblical verses and firing arrows at random in a frenzied mania. Despite his protection by archers, Ezio was able to sneak past his guards, scale the tower, and assassinate the monk. On his body, Ezio found a letter addressed to Jacopo.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Town Crier]]</ref>

The following year on April 12th 1479, another mercenary notified Ezio that the Archibishop [[Francesco Salviati]] had barricaded himself within his [[Villa Salviati|walled villa]] in the [[Tuscany|Tuscan]] countryside. Per Mario's instructions, Ezio took command of his forces of mercenaries and launched a frontal attack on the villa. While the villa was under siege, Ezio scaled the walls from a separate direction to catch Salviati from behind. Though he was spotted by Salviati almost immediately, the fledgling Assassin was still able to bypass his soldiers and open the gate from the inside, allowing the Monteriggionesi to flood in. As the battle reached a climax, Ezio slew Francesco Salviati, who implied with his dying words that Jacopo would only meet his Templar brothers during night time.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Behind Closed Doors]]</ref>

With the deaths of virtually all of his accomplices, [[Bernardo Baroncelli]] spent his days in paranoia correctly anticipating that he would be Ezio's next target. On May 3rd 1479, Ezio found him meandering at a market in San Gimignano mulling over his means of survival and killed him.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Come Out and Play]]</ref> With his last breath, Bernardo informed Ezio that the Templar gathered at a church before a meeting when his killer told him that this would alleviate a little of his guilt.

Once there, Ezio eavesdropped on a meeting between Jacopo, Rodrigo Borgia, and a Venetian merchant and Templar, [[Emilio Barbarigo]]. After fatally wounding Jacopo for his failure to capture Florence, Rodrigo revealed that he was aware of Ezio's presence.

Ezio's encounter with Rodrigo Borgia and his Venetian associate distressed him greatly as he had hoped that he might lay his vengeance to rest with the death of Jacopo. Instead, he returned to Lorenzo in 1480, declaring his success in Tuscany, but that he needed to continue his quest for revenge in Venice. Before leaving Florence for Venice, Ezio was granted a gift, the [[Assassin's Creed II outfits|Medici cape]] that would identify him to the Florentine guards as an ally of the Medici and therefore grant him more immunity to the law. Ezio then made his way to Leonardo's workshop, only to find that the artist had just left for Venice himself.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Road Trip]]</ref>


By chance, Ezio caught up with with Leonardo just before the [[Apennine Mountains|Apennine Mountains]] as his friend's carriage had broken down.

On the Apennine Mountain paths, they were ambushed by Templar [[horsemen]] and [[archer]]s and pursued the whole way to the outskirts of [[Forlì]]. There, Ezio leapt off their carriage to confront the remaining Templars on his own, allowing Leonardo to proceed to safety ahead of him.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Romagna Holiday]]</ref>

Amelia had told Ezio that he was already near where he needed to be, and sure enough, he reunited with Leonardo not long after at a port in the wetlands.

Just as he reassured Leonardo that he would find a solution in time, the two heard the screams of a noblewoman stranded on an islet of a bog. Ezio hastened to her rescue in a boat and was able to row the woman back to shore.

He began by investigating a way into the [[Palazzo della Seta]], the palace of Emilio Barbarigo, but was dejected to find that there was a gap between two ledges that were too far apart for him to scale. Just as he was pondering this, a gang of thieves ran past him, executing a raid on the palace. One among them, the same female thief who had stolen from him earlier, effortlessly leapt past the gap he had been eyeing but was shot down by an [[arrow]] moments later. Wounded in her leg, she pleaded Ezio for aid, and he helped defend her against the city guards while she rendezvoused with another thief, [[Ugo]], at a dock. By that point, the woman, who had introduced herself as Rosa, could no longer stand, and she was carried onto a [[Gondola|gondola]] to be ferried back to their base.

After four years of reinforcing the Thieves Guild, the group executed their assassination on the night of 11 of September, 1485. Acting according to Antonio's plan, Ezio killed the archers who protected the palace from the rooftops, following which they were replaced with disguised thieves. The thieves regrouped at the entry to the palace for their next step, where Ezio was to scale the palace wall while the rest of the thieves lured its guards away. Thanks to Rosa's instruction, Ezio had no trouble doing so. Within the palace, he eavesdropped on a conversation between Emilio and a government official named [[Carlo Grimaldi|Carlo]] and learned that they would be holding a Templar meeting in three days at [[Santo Stefano]]. After Carlo left the palace, Ezio assassinated Emilio, and the rest of his guards were shot down by the thief archers. Antonio informed him that the official was Carlo Grimaldi, a member of the [[Council of Ten]].

He informed him that Antonio was at [[La Rosa della Virtù]], a brothel directed by [[Teodora Contanto|Sister Teodora]].<ref name="Knowledge is Power" /> Arriving there, Ezio was introduced to Teodora by Antonio, but their meeting was interrupted by the murder of one of the courtesans, [[Lucia]].

Before the party began, Ezio was contacted by Leonardo who informed him that Cristina Vespucci was in Venice for the Carnevale. Ezio decided to arrange a meeting with her, believing that his mask would conceal his identity. He wrote a note to Cristina impersonating her husband and inviting her to join him in a nearby street. After he slipped the note into her pocket, he waited for her at the designated alleyway, and sure enough, Cristina arrived at their "date". The two kissed passionately, with Cristina remarking that her husband was more romantic than usual but then discovered that it was Ezio.

Three months after the Doge's death, Ezio was invited by Antonio to the Palazzo della Seta and met the new Doge of Venice, [[Agostino Barbarigo]], Marco's brother, who wasn't involved with the Templars. During their meeting, they discussed the matter that Silvio Barbarigo and Dante Moro occupied the [[Arsenale di Venezia|Venetian Arsenal]] with an army of [[mercenary|mercenaries]] to remove the Doge. As Agostino was powerless against the Templars, they were forced to confront this threat with an army of their own.

The frantic Silvio ordered another ship to be readied, but by this point, Ezio had caught up to them, mortally wounding both at once with a [[double assassination]] technique. Perplexed by their planned trip, Ezio questioned the dying Templars. Silvio refused to reveal more than that seizing the Doge's seat was only a distraction, but Dante confessed that [[Cyprus]] was their destination, passing away before he could reveal their target. Disturbed by this twist, Ezio was in no mood to join Bartolomeo and his men, determined to discover the truth of the matter as soon as possible.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Two Birds, One Blade]]</ref>

Two more years passed before word of the Templar's vessel reached Ezio once again on his twenty-ninth birthday. That day, Rosa brought him a shipping manifest detailing the return of the ship. Leonardo approached Ezio, explaining that he had discovered that all the Codex pages put together a message that read "the Prophet will appear when the second piece is brought to the floating city". Ezio recalled the prophecy his uncle had recited to him about the prophet being able to open the fabled Vault which contained a great power. He then realized that the entire Templar conspiracy was just a part of Rodrigo Borgia's plan to find the Vault and that the trip to Cyprus had almost certainly been to retrieve one of the two required Pieces of Eden.<ref name="All Things">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[All Things Come to He Who Waits]]</ref>


The next day, Ezio sneaked into the Arsenal to await the return of the Templar ship from Cyprus. He watched as a Templar guard carrying a secured, decorated box disembark from the ship, at the same time noticing to his surprise that his uncle Mario was there to spy on them as well. Deducing that the box held the Piece of Eden, Ezio stealthily tailed the courier with the box to the Templar headquarters where he assassinated him, stole his uniform to disguise himself, and verified the content of the box.<ref name="All Things"/>

Impersonating the courier and with the box in hand, Ezio was led straight to Rodrigo Borgia by the other three guards. Finally able to confront the man ultimately responsible for the deaths of his father and brothers, Ezio revealed himself by killing the other guards and denouncing the Templar Grand Master for all the destruction he had caused when there was not even a supposed "prophet" in sight. Rodrigo countered by proudly proclaiming himself to be the prophet before engaging Ezio in battle..<ref name="Play Along">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[Play Along]]</ref>

As the duel progressed, it quickly became clear that Rodrigo was little match for Ezio. Finding a reprieve in the fight, the Grand Master called for reinforcements and, much to the Florentine's confusion, taunted him for the absence of the "the rest of [his] people". At that very moment, Mario Auditore, alongside La Volpe, Antonio Magianis, and Bartolomeo d'Alviano appeared to fight the guards with Ezio, and the confrontation became a full-fledged skirmish. Though they were still outnumbered, they slew all his men without a single casualty, prompting Rodrigo to flee without taking the Piece of Eden.<ref name="Play Along"/>

As Ezio prepared to give chase, he saw Paola and Teodora join his other allies, who told him that it was not necessary to follow Rodrigo as they had secured the Piece of Eden. With the arrival of [[Niccolò Machiavelli]], it was revealed to Ezio that he was in fact the Prophet and that all present were Assassins who had worked together over the past decade to guide Ezio from afar until he was ready to truly join the Assassin Brotherhood. That night, they all met again and Ezio was formally [[Initiation into the Assassin Order|initiated]] into the order.

Shortly after his induction, Ezio met with Mario and Niccolò and travelled to Leonardo da Vinci's workshop in Venice, hoping that the artist could shed some light upon the strange artifact Rodrigo had dubbed "[[Apple of Eden 6|the Apple]]". Leonardo examined the unique device, commenting that the metal it was made of should not exist and that its design was highly advanced despite its age. Upon briefly touching the Apple, Ezio accidentally activated the device, which began to glow and project strange holographic images, though he quickly deactivated it. Niccolò later announced that he had arranged for the Piece of Eden to be held in the [[Rocca di Ravaldino]], where it would be protected by an ally of the Assassins, [[Caterina Sforza]]. Recalling that he had met her seven years ago, Ezio was happy to participate in this mission. He bid farewell to Leonardo, who was invited by Mario to stop by Monteriggioni whenever he wished.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]''</ref>

Niccolò and Ezio met with Caterina just outside the city of Forlì. Escorted by her guards, they discussed the Apple and the fact that Caterina assassinated her husband, [[Girolamo Riario]], a Templar who had created a map to find the Codex pages. The three made their way back to the city, only to find that it had been invaded by the Orsi brothers, [[Checco Orsi|Checco]] and [[Ludovico Orsi|Ludovico]], the mercenaries that Caterina had hired to kill her husband. Recognizing that they had been hired by the Templars to find Riario's map, the group hurried back to the city. As the group fought its way to the city's locked gates, Ezio managed to find another way inside and open the gates from within, allowing them to continue their way to the citadel.<ref name="A Warm Welcome">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]'' – [[A Warm Welcome]]</ref>

The Orsi brothers then arrived before the walls with an ultimatum that they had captured the children and would kill them if she refused to hand over Riario's map and the Apple. In response, she feigned apathy towards her children's fate while secretly asking Ezio to save them. Before leaving, Ezio entrusted her with the Apple. Venturing into the village outside Forlì, Ezio overpowered the guard detail assigned to imprison Bianca and freed her. Bianca then directed Ezio to the lighthouse where her brother Ottaviano was being held. There, Ludovico was dangling the boy high above the ground shouting his threats to Caterina, but Ezio climbed the tower, assassinated him, and rescued Ottaviano.<ref name="Godfather">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]'' – [[Godfather]]</ref>

Returning to the citadel with the children, Ezio learned that the kidnappings had only been a distraction for Checco to lead an attack and steal the Apple. Ezio swiftly tracked down and killed Checco and his remaining men in the mountains, but the dying ''condottiero'' managed to stab him in the abdomen while he was bending down to retrieve the satchel with the Apple. Injured, Ezio collapsed to the ground, with the Apple rolling from his hand. Before losing consciousness, Ezio saw a monk with a missing finger pick up the Apple and walk away despite his pleas.<ref name="Checcomate">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]'' – [[Checcomate]]</ref>

Returned to his senses, Ezio anxiously explained to Caterina that a man in the black robes of monk had stolen the Apple. Noting that the monks in a nearby abbey wore blank robes, Caterna advised Ezio to search there. Before he left the city Caterina gave Ezio her husband's map to help him in his quest.<ref name="Checcomate"/>

Though there was no sign of his target, Ezio saved the monk [[Darby O'Callahan]], who was being harassed by Borgia soldiers. Brother O'Callahan recalled dining with a monk missing a finger at an abbey in Forlì during the previous San Vicenzo's feast. At the [[Abbey of San Mercuriale]], the monks fled at the sight of Ezio because they recognized him as the killer of Brother Stefano years ago. Upon intercepting one of them and reassuring them that he did not kill innocents, the monk gave Ezio the name of the nine-fingered monk: [[Girolamo Savonarola]]. The only clue he could offer as to Savonarola's possible location was Florence, for that was where he had studied.<ref name="Renaissance"/><ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' - ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]''- [[Far From the Tree]]</ref>

[[File:CoromboEzio.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Ezio meeting Christopher Columbus]]
Over the following years, two burdens weighed on Ezio's mind: his unresolved vengeance against Rodrigo Borgia and the loss of the Apple of Eden. Though his longing for the former did not abate, he grew more and more devoted to the Assassin cause and less and less willing to spurn his responsibilities for the sake of his personal vendetta. Thus, from 1488 to 1499, the search for the Apple was of the highest priority for Ezio. Even then, these intermediate years also saw him taking on many unrelated missions for the Brotherhood in order to reinforce their strength and combat the Templars.<ref name="Go to the Thieves' Guild">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Go to the Thieves' Guild]]</ref> Among these was his recruitment of [[Girolamo da Lucca]], an assassin-for-hire known as the "Ghost of Florence",<ref name="Girolamo Bio">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rebellion]]'' – Girolamo da Lucca: Bio</ref> but it was his excursion in [[Spain]] which would prove to have some of the most far-reaching consequences.<ref name="AC2D" />


====Two strangers from Spain====
|-|15=
One day in 1491, while Ezio was in Venice, a messenger sent by Antonio asked him to meet him at the Thieves' Guild for some business. There, he was introduced to a Spaniard by the name of [[Luis de Santángel]], who requested that he act as a bodyguard for a friend he feared was in danger, [[Christopher Columbus|Cristoffa Corombo]]. Given that this sounded like [[mercenary]] work, Ezio was initially reluctant but changed his mind when he was told that Cristoffa would be meeting with a potential business associate known only as "the Spaniard", i.e. Rodrigo Borgia.<ref name="Go to the Thieves' Guild" />
;Guardians


He proceeded to the meeting site, sneaking past the guards along the way and arrived just in time to save Christoffa from being murdered by a Borgia soldier. Christoffa barely had time to explain that the Spaniard had contacted him with an offer to fund his westward voyage before the other Borgia guards discovered them.<ref name="Find Christoffa">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Find Christoffa (1)|Find Christoffa]]</ref> To protect the explorer, Ezio baited them into pursuing him,<ref name="Find Christoffa" /> eventually escaping from them in the city and returning unscathed to the Thieves' Guild.<ref name="Return to the Thieves' Guild">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Return to the Thieves' Guild]]</ref>

Antonio relayed to Ezio that Luis wanted to meet with him again in the Garden District should any problems arise, and so Ezio rendezvoused with him and Christoffa there.<ref name="Return to the Thieves' Guild" /><ref name="Meet Santángel and Christoffa">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Meet Santángel and Christoffa]]</ref> Because they did not know the Spaniard personally, they were unable to satisfy Ezio's questions, but they managed to convince him to perform another favour by appealing to his desire for more leads. Borgia soldiers had discovered their lodgings and were in the midst of ransacking it for [[Christoffa's atlas]] which charted routes to [[Asia|the Orient]] via the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. Ezio, anxious that such information would not fall into Templar hands, agreed to recover the maps for them before the Borgia could find them.<ref name="Meet Santángel and Christoffa" />

When the Assassin arrived at the hostel, it was still heavily occupied by the Borgia troops.

Upon arriving in [[Barcelona]], he was casually greeted by a [[Helene Dufranc|French woman]], who was actually in the midst of fleeing from the city guards. The woman [[pickpocketing|swiped]] his [[sword]] from him as soon as she was spotted by the guards again and had to resume her escape, in the process sending Ezio after her as well. After a wild chase across Barcelona's rooftops, Ezio managed to drop down behind the woman and snatch back his sword while she was musing over having shaken her pursuers. The French rogue had revealed that she knew of Ezio's identity as an Assassin but refused to share what she knew of his order before she left him.<ref name="Chase the Thief">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Chase the Thief]]</ref>

With this misadventure over, the Assassin set about with his task at hand, meeting with Antonio's two contacts in the city who had information on the [[Thieves' Guild of Barcelona|local Thieves' Guild]] which doubled as the headquarters of the Aragonese Assassins. The two directed him to the tallest tower in the center of the city, but when he arrived there, he found that he was too late; the building had already been emptied of Assassins by the Inquisition's soldiers. Ambushed, Ezio fled across the city until he was driven into the catacombs beneath, but he could find no respite as the vast underground chambers were also occupied with enemy soldiers. Only by relying on the highest degree of [[freerunning|parkour]] training was Ezio finally able to escape the Inquisition in the sewers, but just as he did so, he ran into a man who introduced himself as the Assassin [[Raphael Sánchez]].<ref name="Escape the Ambush">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Escape the Ambush]]</ref>


Raphael had uncovered that [[Gaspar Martínez]] was the Inquisitor Prosecutor behind the purge,<ref name="Escape the Ambush" /> and not long after, Ezio tracked down and assassinated Martínez. The approach had been easy, as Martínez did not know that the Assassins still existed or that the Florentine who questioned him was one of them. Simultaneously, Ezio recognized that the purge had been too systematic to have been a coincidence and could not believe that Martínez's confusion was genuine. Before he killed him, the Inquisitor had gloated about the imminent execution of one of the men they had recently captured.<ref name="Assassinate Gaspar Martínez">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Assassinate Gaspar Martínez]]</ref> Without a second to spare, Ezio rushed to the public square where the [[auto-da-fé]] was taking place and saved the young Spanish Assassin from a fiery demise.<ref name="Rescue the Assassin">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Rescue the Assassin]]</ref>
[Map of europe with many different place names. Hover over Tunguska without touching the others]

On Martínez's corpse, Ezio had found a list of six names which Raphael recognized as Assassins of [[Zaragoza]]. The two journeyed to Zaragoza, where Raphael instructed Ezio to investigate their first lead, the ''calificador'' [[Pedro Llorente]]. At a building where the Llorente's tribunal normally assembled, Ezio located Llorente in the midst of torturing one of the Zaragozian Assassins. Spying through a window in the roof, he watched as Grand Inquisitor Torquemada arrived to check on the interrogation and then to execute the Assassin on the spot. Before leaving with Llorente, the Grand Inquisitor vocalized his gratitude towards Rodrigo Borgia for informing him of this group of atheists, thereby revealing to Ezio that the Inquisition had been tipped off to the Assassins by the Templars.<ref name="Find Pedro Llorente">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Find Pedro Llorente]]</ref>

Though Torquemada still remained at large, Ezio was prepared to return to Italy, believing that his duty in Spain had been fulfilled with the rescue of its Assassins.

Luis, recognizing her target as a Templar financier, instructed Ezio to learn his identity and stop her attack, as it could alert the Templars in the area to their presence. The Assassin pursued her until he had ascertained the location of the Cygnet, whereupon he overtook her to reach the Templar first and whisked him away to safety, ironically protecting an enemy. Moments later, the rogue arrived, vexed, to the scolding of Ezio for risking the security of the Assassins, but he also praised her for her freerunning skills.<ref name="Race to the Cygnet">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Race to the Cygnet]]</ref>

The two parted ways again, and Ezio continued his journey with Raphael.

Raphael was not the only one waiting for Ezio there. Beside him was Luis de Santángel, this time introducing himself as a fellow Assassin. Both Luis and Raphael worked for Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, but they suspected that the Templars did as well and that they were vying with them for influence over the Catholic Monarchs.

As ordered by Luis and Raphael, Ezio located the spy at a Spanish [[military camp|military post]] that was installed into a deep valley nearby. He overheard his conversation with a subordinate where he alluded to the Templar plot to deliberately prolong the war, confirming Luis's suspicions. Before the spy could enter into a secret passageway that would bring him into the [[Alhambra]], Ezio assassinated him and reported back to his allies.<ref name="Assassinate the Templar Spy">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Assassinate the Templar Spy]]</ref><ref name="Report the Spy's Death">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Report the Spy's Death]]]</ref> With the new intel, Luis and Raphael deduced that the convoluted Templar scheme was part of a broader plan to delay Christoffa's westward voyage as long as possible by constraining Spain's ability to fund it.

Out in the city, Ezio could not maintain a low profile as he rushed to the gates. Granadan soldiers everywhere who saw this Assassin dart from roof to roof targeted him as though he were an enemy, and when he at last reached the gate, he was still forced to dispatch some of the defending troops to open the gate for the Spanish.<ref name="Open the Palace Gates">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Open the Palace Gates]]</ref> In light of this, the surrender did not go smoothly.

====Guardian of Granada====
*Subject 16: In the beginning. Genesis. Genesis.
News arrived almost immediately that the Inquisition was out in full force rounding up heretics for trial. Outraged, Ezio exclaimed that Queen Isabella should know the truth about Torquemada's violations, but this was a hope that Luis had to dispel, knowing all too well that Isabella would never believe the allegations made against her confessor since childhood. In the meantime, Ezio had to venture out into the city again to rescue civilians from the Inquisition's forces. He observed that their soldiers were arbitrarily arresting and assaulting civilians without any care for the law, and so Raphael ordered him to track down the Inquisitor deployed by Torquemada and assassinate him.<ref name="Protect Civilians from Inquisitors">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Protect Civilians from Inquisitors]]</ref>

Heeding Raphael's warning that the assassination be executed with utmost secrecy lest it be used to justify even greater repression, Ezio kept to the shadows as he tracked the Inquisitor through the catacombs. There, he came across Grand Inquisitor giving commands to the Inquisitor [[Juan de Marillo]]. The instant his target was left alone, the Assassin struck with a [[running assassination]] technique from behind. Down in those dark caverns, with no one around to witness the deed, Juan de Marillo had effectively vanished; Ezio had performed his mission flawlessly.<ref name="Assassinate Juan de Marillo">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Assassinate Juan de Marillo]]</ref>

Contrary to the Assassins' expectations, the end of the war did not change Queen Isabella's refusal to sponsor Christoffa's voyage. It was the turn of the year in 1492, and two months had not yet passed since Spain was unified; the state treasury needed time to recover. A dejected Christoffa ventured out alone to [[France]] when he heard of a new offer from [[Louis XII of France|King Louis XII]], one that both Luis and Ezio could infer was another Templar trap. While Luis resigned to providing half the funds to finally convince Isabella, Ezio left to find Christoffa yet again, catching up with him on the road out of Granada. The irate explorer initially rejected his protection but was put in his place when he was ambushed by Templar knights. Fortunately for him, they were no match for the Assassin.<ref name="Find Christoffa 2">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Find Christoffa (2)]]</ref>

On January 1492, Granada's official capitulation ceremony was conducted, whereby formal sovereignty was transferred. That night, Ezio stood on guard outside on the roofs when he was greeted for a third time out of nowhere by the French rogue. She admitted to having been following him all this time for the sheer sake of adventure, much to Ezio's annoyance, but she also had more serious news: there were rumors that Templars were planning to assassinate Queen Isabella at the ceremony. Realizing that the attack could be sprung at any moment, the two raced together to the ceremony hall where, sure enough, they encountered a group of Templar agents outside. Killing the agents without alarming the attendees, the two ended the night in affable moods, trading mutual respects. The French woman finally introduced herself as [[Helene Dufranc]], a former [[Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins|French Assassin]] who had left the Brotherhood to pursue an independent life and who had known of Ezio's identity since the very beginning.<ref name="Stop the Assassination">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Stop the Assassination]]</ref>

====The Inquisition retaliates====

Even after the Granada War had been resolved, Ezio refrained from returning immediately to Italy, having decided to stay with his newfound friends until Christoffa departed on his voyage. In August 1492,{{Fact|11 April 2020}} Ezio was at Luis's estate in [[Zaragoza]] when he last received news from Luis that Christoffa had set sail from [[Palos de la Frontera]]. Expressing gratitude to Luis for having had the opportunity to help him with his endeavours, Ezio politely informed him that it was finally time for him to return to Italy to resume his search for the Apple of Eden. Just as these farewells were being made, however, the palace came under attack by eight Inquisitor soldiers announcing that Luis was under arrest by the orders of Grand Inquisitor Torquemada.<ref name="Rid the Palace of Inquisitors">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Rid the Palace of Inquisitors]]</ref>


While Luis hid, the soldiers stormed into the palace, positioning [[Seeker]]s at all exits to block anyone's escape. Ezio Auditore single-handedly slew all the attackers, but Luis remained shaken, realizing that their intent had not been to arrest him, but to murder him in his own home. Recognizing that this was the Templars' retaliation for ruining their plans, the two understood that Raphael was also in danger. Luis had formerly prohibited any assassination attempt on Torquemada, wary of the wider ramifications this could bring, but this overt attack provoked him into changing his mind, and he now gave Ezio orders to neutralize him as soon as Raphael had been rescued.<ref name="Rid the Palace of Inquisitors" />

Without a second to spare, Ezio rushed as fast as he could to Raphael's palace in another neighborhood of Zaragoza. He arrived to find that Inquisitor soldiers were already there and in much greater force than the group dispatched to Luis's residence. Against these odds, the Assassin still managed to reach Raphael, who had been hiding deep within the estate, and saved his life. While Raphael did not oppose a retaliatory strike against Torquemada, he advised that Ezio prod him for his affiliation with the Templars before killing him so as to verify how close it truly was.<ref name="Rescue Raphael Sánchez">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Rescue Raphael Sánchez]]</ref>

Ezio had no intention of waiting another day or conducting any preparations. As he left Raphael's palace, he immediately proceeded back the way he had came, only aiming towards Torquemada's dwelling instead. Though he reacted in haste, he did not abandon caution, making sure that he sneaked past all guards and into the Grand Inquisitor's residence without being seen.<ref name="Infiltrate Torquemada's Dwelling">''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'' – [[Infiltrate Torquemada's Dwelling]]</ref> Nonetheless, the maximum security of the palace resulted in a bloodbath of an infiltration.

When he at last came face to face with the Grand Inquisitor, Ezio heeded Raphael's advice to engage in dialogue first, a decision that would cost him a successful assassination. To probe Torquemada for his Templar connection, he criticized him for his alliance with Rodrigo Borgia, calling it an act that "disqualified him from his God's love". In the brief but heated exchange that followed, Torquemada insisted on Rodrigo's piety while both belligerents insulted one another's moral compass. Finally, Ezio moved in for the kill, but the Grand Inquisitor had been prepared, lowering a portcullis between them which barred the Assassin's advance.<ref name="Assassinate Tomás Torquemada" />


Ezio returned to Luis and Raphael apologizing for Torquemada's escape; his regrets were mollified by his belief that a successful assassination might have only escalated the turmoil in Spain. Apart from that, Torquemada's responses convinced him that the Grand Inquisitor was not a Templar himself but a hypocritical, religious extremist who had been manipulated by Rodrigo.<ref name="Assassinate Tomás Torquemada" /> Unbeknownst to the three Assassins, their conclusion was wrong. In fact, Torquemada was the Grand Master of the Spanish Rite, and his operations were well-known to the Spanish Assassins in the south led by [[Aguilar de Nerha]].<ref name="ACfilm">''[[Assassin's Creed (film)|Assassin's Creed: The Movie]]''</ref><ref name="Rebellion"/>

===Templar slavery in Florence===
[circular puzzle]
By the spring of 1493, Ezio had returned to Italy. In Florence, he detected coercive activities which indicated that Templars had returned to the city and had begun setting up operations again. Most worrying was the disappearance of a sizable population of Florentines, all of whom were rumored to have been merchants or officials who had opposed the Templars.<ref name="A War in the Shadows">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rebellion]]'' – [[A War in the Shadows]]</ref> His time in Spain had helped cultivate strong connections with the Spanish Brotherhood, and on this occasion, he called upon them for assistance.

Accordingly, Ezio's hunt for Savonarola centered on Florence. In 1494, he bumped into a monk on the city streets fleeing from Borgia soldiers who had been asking about "apples". Rushing to the [[Santa Maria Novella]], he spied from atop the roof a Carmelite monk resembling Savonarola being harassed by Borgia soldiers. After leaping down to kill the soldiers, he realized that the monk he had saved was not Girolamo Savonarola, but Girolamo's cousin, [[Marcello Savonarola|Marcello]]. Grateful for the rescue, Marcello shared with him that his cousin was in [[Venice]] at the time.<ref name="Renaissance">''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]''</ref>
[Bunch of numbers, followed by "Nothing is true, everything is permitted", any password will work]


In Venice, Ezio contacted Teodora for Girolamo Savonarola's whereabouts but the most she could do was direct him to a zealous herald who was preaching on his behalf. Blending among the crowd, the Assassin tried to extract information from the herald by pretending to be a true follower of the monk, but they were interrupted by a furious young man. This was none other than [[Piero de' Medici]], who had been ousted as Florence's ''de facto'' ruler earlier that year by Savonarola following an invasion by [[Charles VIII of France]]. Piero's rant provoked an altercation with the herald and other supporters of Savonarola in the crowd until they moved to lynch him. Forced to defend themselves, Ezio and Piero slew all of the hostile fanatics including the herald, who had charged at Ezio with a dagger after the others had fallen. The Medici noble then made it apparent that Savonarola had already returned to Florence, forcing the Assassin to backtrack.<ref name="Renaissance" />

[image of hominid skeleton, hover over it with the Apple of Eden to transform it into a human skeleton]
In 1497, Ezio returned to his hometown to find its atmosphere forlorn and its people sombre. Whispers of book burnings and wanton arrests ordered by the "mad monk" pervaded everywhere as he walked the streets towards the [[Ponte alle Grazie]] to meet with Machiavelli. Machiavelli apprised him of the situation, confirming that Savonarola had taken control of Florence, which they felt certain had been achieved via the Apple of Eden. The younger Assassin, however, elaborated that the monk had only bewitched the leading men of the city; the common Florentines were seething with anger yet lacked the will and courage to oppose them. As they strode through the streets, they observed the bodies of Borgia soldiers littered about and realized that the Templars also knew that the Apple was in Savonarola's possession and had been launching attacks for it.<ref name="Florentine Fiasco">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]'' – "[[Florentine Fiasco]]"</ref>


Machiavelli brought Ezio before the [[Palazzo Pitti]], which Savonarola was using as his abode, but Ezio understood the risks of a direct assault and proposed an alternate strategy: kill all of Savonarola's lieutenants and inspire the resentful populace to rise up against him. An uprising would in turn be the perfect diversion for an assassination. Although Machiavelli had felt that it had fallen on them to take matters into their own hands, he was convinced of Ezio's plan given the widespread fear and hatred the people harboured for the monk. The two split up, with Ezio setting off to assassinate the leading adherents of Savonarola and Machiavelli to notify La Volpe and Paola, entrusting them to be the ones to rally the people.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]'' – [[Florentine Fiasco]]</ref>

====Eliminating the Piagnoni====
</tabber>
The presence of flames billowing in the middle of the night from the garden of the Palazzo Pitti was the first to draw Ezio's attention, and though he had advised against attacking the palace, this was where he began his hunt. There, a [[Artist (Piagnone)|former artist]] was presiding over the destruction of artworks, books, and the utensils to make them, throwing them into pyres and urging the nobles around him to do the same. He cried that they were "abominations" and "doors" by which the Devil corrupted them, but in the midst of his fervour, Ezio approached from among the crowd and silently stabbed him with his Hidden Blade. In his dying moments, the lost artist expressed horror at his own deeds and though Ezio tried to reassure him that his mind had been warped by the Apple, the man confessed that it was his own self-doubt that had allowed it to take control.<ref name="Still Life">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]'' – [[Still Life]]</ref>


The Assassin next investigated the [[Basilica di San Lorenzo]] where an uneasy silence hung around the premises and not a soul was in sight. As he entered its courtyard, he was suddenly surrounded on all sides by soldiers dressed in black, signifying that they were the enforcers of Savonarola. The [[Guard captain (Piagnone)|captain of the guards]] greeted from above on a [[scaffold]], revealing that he had become an agent of the monk and that he regularly lured dissidents into the courtyard to be ambushed and killed. Calling his victims "challengers", the captain commenced his trap, but the skilled Assassin was able to slay all twelve of the [[agile]]s who attacked him on the ground before climbing up to the roof to confront the captain and the rest of his men. None of them were a match for Ezio, all falling at his blade. Like the artist, the guard captain expressed remorse in his last moments.<ref name="Climbing the Ranks">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]'' – [[Climbing the Ranks]]</ref>

Entering the [[Mercato Vecchio]], Ezio found another lieutenant, a [[nobleman (Piagnone)|nobleman]], waiting for him on top of the market arcade. The nobleman taunted Ezio for defying Savonarola, but he broke into flight when he saw the Assassin unfazed and ever intent to kill him. After a brief pursuit along the rooftops, Ezio caught up with the noble and ended his life. Unlike with the artist and the guard captain, he had little sympathy to give to the noble, for the man only protested that he was a victim without fault.<ref name="Upward Mobility">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]'' – [[Upward Mobility]]</ref>

First there was the [[doctor (Piagnone)|doctor]] operating the [[Ospedale degli Innocenti]] who offered free healthcare to any devotee of Savonarola but viciously refused treatment to any who did not submit.

With all of Florence north of the [[Arno]] freed from Savonarola's control, Ezio struck at the [[Ponte Vecchio]] which a [[Condottiero (Piagnone)|condottiero]] commanding Savonarola's forces had occupied and locked down, demanding that the entire city submit to the monk. The Assassin assassinated the mercenary, causing his troops to melt away and allowing the people to retake control of the bridge; the mercenary could only cite power-lust and greed as his motives as he passed away. Finally, Ezio returned to the Oltrarno District, located the [[Preacher (Piagnone)|last of Savonarola's lieutenants]] preaching in front of [[Santa Trinita]], and finished him. As he bled out, the preacher was unique in asserting that he had never fallen under the machinations of Savonarola, proclaiming himself to have been a true adherent to his beliefs.<ref name="Doomsday">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]'' – [[Doomsday]]</ref>

By far the greatest part of those goods which are the objects of desire, are procured by labour; and they may be multiplied, not in one country alone, but in many, almost without any assignable limit, if we are disposed to bestow the labour necessary to obtain them.
In the midst of these assassinations, chaos reigned in Florence, with Savonarola's men rampaging through the streets, pillaging homes of luxuries to feed to the pyres, and indiscriminately attacking nobles. At some point, Ezio ran into Manfredo Soderini, finding him barely alive after he had suffered one of these assaults. Fearing for Cristina's life, he screamed for her location, and Manfredo weakly pointed to the direction where the soldiers had chased her. Though he was quick to intercept the pursuers and slay them all, it was all in vain: Cristina had already been mortally wounded. As he brought her to a nearby enclosure, pleading for her to stay with him, she admitted to him that her heart had always been with him and that she wished they could have had a second chance.

La Volpe and Paola had been active in picking up after the people upon each liberation of a district, and by the time the preacher had been slain, the whole city was in revolt. A furious mob cornered Girolamo Savonarola in front of the Palazzo Pitti. The monk, simultaneously enraged and fearful, resorted to the Apple of Eden to reestablish control, but Ezio threw a throwing knife at his hand to disarm him. Without his only means of power, Savonarola was swarmed by the masses and violently carried away. Meanwhile, the Apple had dropped to the ground. Before Ezio could reach it, a Borgia agile swiftly retrieved it and sprinted away. He could not outrun the Assassin, who chased him down and killed him to recover the Apple in turn.<ref name="Power to the People">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Power to the People]]</ref>

On 23 May 1498,Savonarola was brought to the Piazza della Signoria to be burned at the stake—ironically the very means by which he had sought to destroy the city's culture. As the fire roared up beneath him, the monk's fury broke into pitiful panic and pleas to his [[God]]. In spite of all the suffering that the man had wrought, including the murder of his beloved Cristina, Ezio took pity at the baleful spectacle. With his vengeful heart having tempered with years of ordeals, he decided that no one deserved to die in such agony. The Assassin leapt onto the execution platform and stabbed Savonarola in the neck with his Hidden Blade, putting him out of his misery. The monk spent his last breath still crying for mercy, to which Ezio reassured him that he already had given it. <ref name="Mob Justice">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Mob Justice]]</ref>

Ezio then turned around to face the stunned mob and delivered a heartfelt speech to the people of his home. He recounted how twenty-two years prior, he had stood at that very same spot, watching his family betrayed and murdered. He recounted how, had it not been for the wisdom of others, he would have been consumed by vengeance, and yet those same teachers never force-fed him their beliefs but guided him to grow through his own journey. Thus, Ezio Auditore urged them to follow their own path and rely on their own thoughts, not what they were told by the ones with power, whether Savonarola, the Medici, or even himself. He expressed his conviction that it was that freedom that made them [[human]], and with that, Ezio left with Mario, Machiavelli, Paola, and La Volpe, ready to uncover the answers hidden within the Apple.<ref name="Mob Justice" />

The pages were puzzle pieces, and when these pieces were reassembled, Ezio beheld to his amazement a map of the entire world, with even the unknown continent to the west depicted.

The revelation stunned all in the room, for it was now apparent that Rodrigo Borgia had sought the Papacy for access not only to the Vatican but also to the [[Papal Staff of Eden|Papal Staff]], which Mario and Ezio deduced to be the other Piece of Eden needed to unlock the Vault. With little time to spare, the Assassins prepared their plan: Ezio would proceed to Rome to assassinate Rodrigo while the others would stage diversions in the city.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[X Marks the Spot]]</ref>

[[File:IBAL 4.png|thumb|250px|Ezio confronting Rodrigo in the Sistine Chapel]]
*Animus: Quarantine zone.
On 28 December 1499, Ezio arrived at the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]] in Rome, sneaking through the castle to reach the Vatican. Despite being spotted by the guards as he left the castle, he lost his pursuit along the [[Passetto di Borgo]] and infiltrated the [[Apostolic Palace]], entering the [[Sistine Chapel]] from above just as Pope Alexander VI was holding {{wiki|Mass (liturgy)|Mass}}. Deftly, Ezio dove down with his Hidden Blade, performing an air assassination manoeuvre, but there was hesitation when he made contact. As he held the Templar Grand Master in his clutches, the greatest subject of his vengeance for so many years, the mastermind of his family's tragedy, he battled with his sense of integrity. His confidence in having grown past vengeance had dissolved, yet the pang of guilt momentarily stayed his hand from what otherwise would have been a swift assassination. When at last he resigned to the hatred in his heart, bemoaning out loud that he thought he was stronger, Rodrigo was well-prepared to counter his killing blow.<ref name="In Bocca al Lupo">''[[Assassin's Creed II|AC2]]'' – [[In Bocca al Lupo]]</ref>

The Templar knocked him away with the [[Staves of Eden|Staff of Eden]] then repulsed him again with a wave of energy when he charged at him. Unleashing the Staff's powers, Rodrigo drained the vitality of everyone in the room as the priests tried to flee. Ezio, alone, stood immune, unveiling the Apple of Eden that he had brought with him. With the artifact in hand, he generated four apparitions of himself to serve as allies, and a five-to-one duel commenced. Although Rodrigo was able to hold his own for a short while, it became clear that the skilled, young Assassin would ultimately best him.<ref name="In Bocca al Lupo" />

Defiant, the Templar changed tactics by unleashing more tremors of energy with the Staff, sweeping his foe to the floor once again. Before Ezio could recover, Rodrigo turned invisible using the Staff and effortlessly seized the Apple from his hand. This left the Assassin vulnerable to the telekinetic abilities of the Staff, allowing Rodrigo to immobilize him, lift him into the air, and stab him in the abdomen with a dagger. Ezio was left to bleed out and die on the floor of the chapel while Rodrigo disappeared through a secret entryway on the {{wiki|bema}} floor.<ref name="In Bocca al Lupo" />

Thanks to the Armor of Altaïr, Ezio survived with only a minor wound, and as soon as he had recovered, he used his Eagle Vision to scout for the means by which the passageway could be reopened. These were two hidden mechanisms on the wall on either side of the podium. Unlocking the entrance, he advanced below to a vast circular chamber lit by electric lights, technology he had never before seen. Down in a large, central pit, Ezio watched as Rodrigo tried in vain to open the Vault. Laying down his arms, he challenged Rodrigo to a final brawl, which the Templar accepted. As their confrontation reached a climax, Rodrigo revealed the hidden goal he had harboured for so long: he believed that God himself lay within the Vault and that the Pieces of Eden could be used to kill him and steal his power. By the end of the fight, Ezio had not only denounced his fantasy and hypocrisy as the Pope but had soundly defeated him. This time, however, he did not have to think to spare his nemesis's life, even when Rodrigo resigned to death.<ref name="In Bocca al Lupo" />

[Cipher puzzle]
Entering the Vault, Ezio stood in shock as he was met by a hologram of a woman who called herself [[Minerva]]. He recognized the name and those of the colleagues she mentioned as belonging to Roman gods, but Minerva corrected him that her kind were mortals who had "[[Isu|simply [come] before]]". The hologram confounded him further by silencing him and then insisting that was speaking to another being through him even though he saw and felt no one else around. In the process, she confirmed that he was the prophet but one whose role had been completed by serving as the anchor for the other entity.


Her message commenced, and the the vault projected accompanying holographic images to present it. According to Minerva, [[human]]ity were created by her people, but they rebelled. In the midst of the [[Human-Isu War|war]] which followed, both the powerful creators and the more numerous humans were too distracted to defend the [[Earth|world]] against the [[Toba catastrophe|calamity which fell from the skies and scorched the planet]]. In the aftermath, the few surviving humans and her species arduously rebuilt their civilization, but over millennia, her people faded away and became distant memories misunderstood as gods. Implying that there would be a [[Second Disaster|re-occurrence of the catastrophe]], Minerva gave instructions to find the "[[Temple (Isu)|other temples]]" to save the planet. She closed her message with the name of her invisible recipient, [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]], before disappearing abruptly and leaving Ezio with many unanswered questions.<ref name="In Bocca al Lupo" />

When the Assassin exited the Vault, he found that Rodrigo was already gone but that the Staff of Eden had been left behind. Though he tried to retrieve it, it sank into the floor through an underlying mechanism and was locked down. At this moment, he was greeted by surprise by Mario from the top of the pit, for his uncle had arrived to assist. The two exited the vault to the clamorous rancor of priests in the chapel outside. Resistance from guards was mild and easily overcome as they left [[St. Peter's Basilica]] entirely. On top of a rooftop looking over the [[Tiber]], Ezio prepared to drop the Apple of Eden into the river, but Mario noticed his hesitation and offered to take the Apple for safekeeping until he could feel more certain about the right decision. Ezio agreed and the two left for home with the Apple in the hands of his uncle.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Mass Exodus]]</ref>

Returning in the Villa during the evening, Ezio spoke with Caterina who asked him to send his troops to help defend Forlì against the Papal Army. Ezio agreed and reached Mario's study with where Mario, Maria, Claudia and Niccolò Machiavelli waited for him. Ezio once again retold the events of his encounter in the Vault to all of them. Niccolò, in turn, criticized Ezio for his failure to kill Rodrigo Borgia, and angrily left for Rome. That night, unconcerned with Niccolò's outburst, Ezio returned to his bedchamber to share an intimate night with Caterina Sforza. <ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Reunion]]</ref>

On 2 January 1500, Ezio and Caterina were waking up by the sound of a cannon. They believed that the mercenaries were in training until a cannonball broke Ezio's bedroom wall. Taking a sword and his father's hidden blade went on the roof and discovered that the [[Siege of Monteriggioni|city was being besieged]]. Meeting with his uncle, he was informed that this was an attack from the Borgia with the Papal Army. Ezio ran to the walls to take control of the cannons and gave enough time to the citizens to flee. As the Papal troops reached the wall, Ezio killed them.<ref name="Vilified">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Vilified]]</ref>


Even with all their effort, the enemies breached the main gate of the city. Ezio saw that Mario was captured by the [[Cesare Borgia|General of the Papal Army]], who also captured Caterina and had the Apple of Eden. Seeing his uncle lying on the ground, Ezio ran across the rooftops in a vain effort to reach them, but Mario was shot down by the General.

====A sadistic executioner====
<font color="#FF0000">[Abstergo file] Access denied</font>
Ezio's attention was soon caught, however, by the discussion of a group of guards who were set on injuring an innocent civilian for "causing the Borgia guards trouble". After following the guards to the [[Piazza di Spagna]], he found a man weeping at the gallows before the hanging corpse of a woman—clearly someone who had been dear to him. Consoling the distraught man, he learned that the woman, [[Livia]], had been his wife and that she had been raped then charged and executed for adultery by a henchman of the Borgia known simply as [[Il Carnefice]]. More than that, Il Carnefice had threatened to hang Livia's husband as well if he dared to remove her body for proper rites.

====Tour with Machiavelli====
From a bolt of electricity, governments fell.
Initially expecting Ezio to return to Florence, Machiavelli was surprised to hear that his friend was determined to stay in Rome to fight the Borgia. By now, Ezio had noticed how Rome had fallen into a state of disrepair under the Borgia and that its citizens were being heavily oppressed. Thereupon Machiavelli apprised him of the situation and most of all of Cesare Borgia, the man responsible for the attack on Monteriggioni and the death of Mario Auditore.<ref name="New Man">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[New Man in Town]]</ref> He warned that Cesare was hellbent on conquering all of Italy and was on track to do so through his alliance with [[France]].<ref name="New Man"/>.

As the two made their way through Rome, Ezio suggested that they continue on horseback, but Machiavelli informed him that the guards of the district had closed the stables, restricting access only to the Borgia. Not dissuaded, Ezio assassinated the local [[Borgia captain]], [[Iacopo de Grassi]], and demolished his [[Borgia Tower|command tower]] to break the Borgia's hold on the area. Almost immediately, the stable reopened to the public, with the Assassins providing funds for its renovation and purchasing their first Roman steeds.<ref name="New Man" />

The two Assassins resumed their tour of Rome but began to clash over their divergent philosophies. Machiavelli reprimanded Ezio for showing mercy to Rodrigo, but despite regretting Mario's death, Ezio maintained that "killing one man" would not have changed the outcome and that the Assassins had to instead focus on rallying the support of the people and establishing a social network. The cynical Machiavelli expressed little faith in the trustworthiness of the people, whereupon Ezio countered that this faith was core to the Assassin Brotherhood. Their debate was cut short by the sudden theft of Ezio's money pouch by a pickpocket, forcing Ezio into a brief chase to retrieve it.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Easy Come, Easy Go]]</ref>

Meeting back with Machiavelli at the [[Capitoline Hill|Campidoglio]], Ezio was informed by his friend that they had to search for an informant, [[Vinicio]], who had been expected to deliver a letter he was to have intercepted from the Borgia. The two Assassins descended the hill to investigate the [[Roman Forum]] and found him threatened by guards. After killing them, Vinicio reported that he had failed to steal the letter, pointing to the [[Borgia messenger|courier]] that was still in their line of sight. Without further ado, Ezio chased the messenger into the [[Colosseum]] and snatched the document from him.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Who's Got Mail?]]</ref>

====Ambushed by the Followers of Romulus====

On the road to join Machiavelli, Ezio passed by the [[Baths of Trajan]]. There, he was attacked by [[Followers of Romulus|men with wolf skins]]. After he killed them, he investigated in the area to know how they arrived there. He found an entrance of a [[Lair of Romulus]] and opened it.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Crepi il Lupo]]</ref> Through it, he arrived in the ruins of the [[Nero's Golden Palace]]. Exploring the place, Ezio found a key with a [[Scrolls of Romulus|Scroll of Romulus]] wrote by [[Marcus Junius Brutus]], a member of the [[Hidden Ones]], the precursor of the Assassins. The scroll contained a drawing of the [[Armor of Brutus]] and indicated that someone locked it with six keys.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[The Halls of Nero]]</ref>

Leaving the lair, Ezio met again with Machiavelli who informed him that the men who attacked him were the Followers of Romulus, a cult manipulated by the Borgia to terrorize the citizens and drive them to the arms of the Church.

Together, Ezio and Machiavelli met with [[Fabio Orsini]], the cousin of Bartolomeo d'Alviano who had been forced into serving Cesare Borgia. Fabio lent the Assassins an [[Tiber Island headquarters|old storehouse]] of his on [[Tiber Island]], in the hope that they would find a better use for it. When Fabio left, Machiavelli was ready to attack the Borgia but Ezio informed him that they captured Caterina and had the Apple. When Ezio asked if they had a network in the city, Machiavelli explained that the mercenaries were fighting the French allies of Cesare while the courtesans weren't totally for the Assassins cause and the thieves guild refused to work with them. Ezio decided to met their leaders to strengthen their position in Rome.<ref name="Underground"/>


Ezio travelled to the [[Rosa in Fiore]] in an attempt to gather the support of the city's courtesans. When he arrived however, he learned that [[Madonna Solari]], the madam of the brothel, had been kidnapped by the [[Cento Occhi]], Cesare's hired thugs, and was being held for ransom.<ref name="High-Stakes Negotiation">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[High-Stakes Negotiation]]</ref>

Ezio then moved on to gather the support La Volpe's Roman thieves but the Assassin refused as he suspected that Machiavelli was a traitor working for the Borgia.

Ezio was informed that Cesare had returned to Rome and was meeting with his father in the Castel Sant'Angelo.<ref name="Ascension" /> Once again infiltrating the Castel,<ref name="Requiem">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Requiem]]</ref> Ezio witnessed Rodrigo's attempt to poison his son, only to be murdered in retaliation.<ref name="An Apple a Day">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[An Apple a Day]]</ref>


As Cesare hurried off to obtain the Apple of Eden that his father had hidden away, Ezio entered the Castel and gave Rodrigo's body his blessing. He then learned from Lucrezia where Rodrigo had hidden the Apple and raced out of the fortress.<ref name="An Apple a Day" />

Eventually, the Assassins caught up with Cesare himself, who was awaiting reinforcements from Micheletto and his army by the gates of Rome. Cesare's forces were defeated although their leader retreated behind the city portcullis. However, he soon realized that he was not safe as he was quickly arrested by Fabio Orsini on the orders of Pope [[Julius II]]. As he was dragged away, Cesare screamed that chains would not hold him and that no man could murder him.<ref name="All Roads Lead To...">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[All Roads Lead To...]]</ref>

===Check===
Despite their victory, Ezio was troubled by Cesare's comments, and upon meeting with Leonardo, he confessed his concerns. At Leonardo's suggestion, Ezio decided to look into the Apple to see if Cesare's threats were true. Upon doing so, Ezio quickly let go of the Apple, standing before Leonardo could question him and commenting that he had to leave immediately. Before he departed, however, Ezio left Leonardo a parting gift: a chest full of gold, in compensation for losing his patron.<ref name="All Roads Lead To..."/>

Running from the Tiber Island headquarters, Ezio made his way to the Castel Sant'Angelo and was greeted by a scene of mass confusion. Questioning a guard, Ezio learned that Cesare had escaped, likely with the aid of an inside-man, but that Lucrezia had been left behind. Concluding that the best way for Cesare to escape the city was by boat, Ezio ran to the docks nearest the Castel.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>

The docks were extremely busy when he arrived, and as such, Ezio was forced to use the Apple to learn of Cesare's location. Pointed to a red-sailed caravel on pier six, Ezio made his way there, only to find that it had already set sail. Ezio headed to the nearest boat and offered to pay the boat-master handsomely if he pursued the caravel. Ezio was surprised to see that it was [[Claudio]] who captained the boat, having been given money to do so by La Volpe previously.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>

The ships were already nearing [[Ostia]] by the time Claudio's scoop caught up. Locking sails, Claudio gave Ezio the order to jump aboard and together Ezio and Claudio quickly overpowered the ship's crew, while Cesare watched helplessly from the secure wooden crate he had been hidden in. Upon docking in Ostia, Cesare was securely sent back to Rome.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>

|[https://flufi.me/profile/alexnegrea09]
By 1504, Ezio had become councilor to Pope Julius II, and was with him when the Pope received word that Cesare Borgia had been successfully handed over to King [[Ferdinand II of Aragon]], and his wife Queen [[Isabella I of Castile]]. When Ezio inquired as to where he was being held, Julius politely refused to answer, perhaps cautious of any attempts Ezio might make on the Templar leader's life. Later in the conversation, a tired Ezio nonchalantly suggested the name "{{Wiki|Swiss Guard}}" for the contingent of Swiss mercenaries Julius II was thinking of hiring as his personal bodyguards.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
|[https://nitter.poast.org/alexnegrea_art/media]

The following day, Ezio called a meeting with La Volpe, Bartolomeo, Niccolò, and Claudia to discuss rooting out the Borgia diehards who still pocketed Italy. Together, they formulated a plan that would keep control of the Borgia loyalists until the time to strike presented itself.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>

Following the meeting, Ezio and Niccolò met with a number of Rodrigo's former lovers and associates, including [[Vannozza dei Cattanei]] and [[Giulia Farnese]], as well as Cesare's wife, [[Charlotte d'Albret]]. On their way to meet Giulia, Ezio and Niccolò noticed they were being followed by someone and had been since leaving Vanozza's palazzo. After making their way onto the rooftops, the Assassins were eventually able to lose their pursuer, although it took a lot of effort on their part.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>

<gallery widths="180" position="center" captionalign="center">
After leaving Charlotte's palazzo, Ezio and Niccolò were approached by [[Bruno]], one of Niccolò's spies, who informed the two that the Borgia had had them followed, so as to ensure they were not present when they kidnapped Claudia Auditore. Upon learning her location, the two quickly made their way to liberate her from her captors, only to discover they had been led into a trap; Bruno had been working for the Borgia for at least a year.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>

Upon reaching the Borgia diehards' facility, Ezio saw Claudia tied to a chair, half-dressed and bruised. The leader of the diehards held a knife to Claudia's throat and threatened to kill her if Ezio did not leave Rome once and for all. Ezio refused and, together with Niccolò, quickly overpowered and eliminated the diehards.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
==Echoes of Shadows==
<!--
==Locations==
===[[Iga]]===
Iga is a small province surrounded by mountains in central Japan. It's just a little bit to the southeast of the capital of Kyoto. It's surrounded by the lands of Nobunaga and those loyal to him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


After rescuing Claudia, Ezio learned that Micheletto had holed up in the Ludus Magnus in [[Zagarolo]], east of Rome. Bringing together a force of one-hundred apprentices and thieves, Ezio's forces quickly surrounded and overpowered the two-hundred and fifty strong force commanded by Micheletto.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
And what are the main factors that lead up to kind of open war with Iga? Like I said, there's that independence that isn't particularly endearing to Nobunaga. He wants everything under his control, but they're not really necessarily a threat militarily, per se, to him. So for most of the time that he's establishing his hegemony, he is concentrated elsewhere. Iga at this time is ruled by an independent league or ikki that did not recognize any daimyo's hegemony and even gone so far as to expel the military governor of the province that had been appointed by the Ashkaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Micheletto was taken to Florence, and was incarcerated in the cell atop the Palazzo della Signoria; the same cell that had held Ezio's father twenty-eight years earlier. There, he was tortured by Niccolò, [[Amerigo Vespucci]] and [[Piero Soderini]], the Gonfaloniere of Florence and Niccolò's "master". Despite learning nothing from Micheletto, Niccolò promised to continue in his attempts to prise any information from him and parted ways with Ezio warmly when the latter was forced to return to Rome.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
it's ringed by mountains. It's very mountainous internally as well, but there's a ring of mountains around it that prevents easy access to it. It's very easily defensible. And there's six main passes, several on the eastern side, a couple into the north and then a couple on the western side through which if you're going to bring an army, you have to go through one of those passes in order to get there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


====Locking away the Apple====
One of the things that the Iga warriors did was often hire themselves out as contractors to other entities would be they temples or be they other daimyo factions and whatever. So in the 1540s, we have reports of Igamono or men of Iga being hired to do things like espionage or sabotage of the enemy castles. [...] And they are capable militarily. Many of them are experienced hunters and trackers through the mountains. They have the kind of outdoor living skills we might attribute to military specialties of today like commandos or something like that. So while they weren't necessarily trying to take over control, they did also have a military presence outside of their province because they could be hired or requested to assist with campaigns elsewhere.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
{{Quote|I have more than played my part in your career and you must now return me.|The Apple to Ezio.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)}}
Days later, Ezio was awoken in the early hours of the morning by Niccolò, who informed him that Micheletto had managed to escape from the Palazzo della Signoria with the aid of a Borgia-friendly priest and the diehards. Ezio quickly realized that this could work to their advantage: if they could track Micheletto down, they could follow him to Cesare.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>


Convening an emergency meeting, Ezio organized a manhunt for Micheletto that focused on the area surrounding Rome and Ostia. Later, Ezio was effectively ordered by Niccolò to use the Apple to locate Micheletto, but was only provided with a vague image of a Spanish castle.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


[[File:A Seed 2.png|thumb|250px|Ezio walking out of the Vault]]
It is now a domain administered by one of Nobunaga's retainers. It would go on to be a domain held by a Daimyo underneath the Edo Period shogun of the Tokukawa.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
Ezio was confused by this and expressed his feelings to Niccolò, who recommended he ask the Apple why it wasn't showing him what he wanted. The Piece of Eden told Ezio that the time had come for him to relinquish it, so that future generations might make use of it, and also indicated [[Colosseum Vault|where it should be hidden]]. As a parting gift, the Apple informed the Assassin that Micheletto was making his way to Spain via the port in [[Naples]].<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>


Before making their way to Naples, Ezio and Niccolò decided to abandon the Apple where it had requested. Entering the Colosseum, the two Assassins made their way through the old [[lair of Romulus]], marking the way as they went, until they reached the entrance to the Vault.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
===[[Nagasaki]]===
he discovered that Nagasaki had been raised up into this great port by the Jesuits who had effectively been given Nagasaki by a local warlord so the extraordinary influence that a foreign power preaching of foreign religion had in Kyushu I think upset Hideyoshi very much<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Ezio entered the Vault, placed the Apple on the central pedestal, and exited. As the door closed behind him, both Ezio and Niccolò noticed that the door seemed to vanish, instead taking the appearance of the surrounding wall.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
in the end anyway the Japanese will only deal when we're thinking about European powers with the Dutch and only at this little artificial island called Dejima just a few feet worth of wooden bridge off the coast of Nagasaki<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


===Rescuing Da Vinci===
Gaspar Vilela is one who stands out. He was a very keen propagator of the Christian faith, and he could convert some warlords to Christianity. One of them was Omura Sumitada, who eventually would give a port to the Jesuits, which was called Nagasaki.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
{{Dialogue|Leonardo|Salaì? Is that you? Ezio! I must be getting lazy in my old age. I did not know you had returned to Roma.|Ezio|Unfortunately, I cannot stay. I am here to charter a ship.|Leonardo and Ezio, shortly after the latter's return.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}


====Da Vinci abduction====
===[[Kyoto]]===
[[File:A Roll of the Dice 3.png|thumb|thumb|left|250px|Ezio and Leonardo looking at the unfinished [[Mona Lisa]]]]
So Kyoto is the absolute heart of Japan, it's exactly in the middle. And geomantically, let's go to geomantics, it's a perfectly placed to be the capital city, which is what it was for a thousand years. It's got mountains behind it on three sides, it's got the sea in front, it's got two rivers running through, it fulfils all the necessary requirements of Feng Shui to be the perfect place for capital<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
With the Apple safely hidden away, Ezio met with Leonardo in 1506 to discuss his need of chartering a ship to Navarre. Leonardo interjected that he knew the name of a friendly ship captain, but was unable to remember it at the time. As the artist searched for his records, Ezio and Leonardo briefly discussed the ancient Greek scholar [[Pythagoras]], whom Leonardo was researching.<ref name="A Roll of the Dice">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[A Roll of the Dice]]</ref>


However, Ezio suggested he instead focus on his painting, and complimented a [[Mona Lisa|portrait of a smiling lady]] Leonardo was working on. Eventually, though he could not find the captain's name, Leonardo offered to accompany Ezio to the docks, though he was unable to leave the studio unaccompanied. As such, Ezio offered to bring back Leonardo's apprentice, [[Salaì]].<ref name="A Roll of the Dice"/>
it was created as capital city. Emperor Kamu, who was the greatest emperor in Japanese history, he was the Charlemagne of Japan. And before his time, the capital had been in Nara, but it was kind of taken over by the Buddhist priests. [...] There were all sorts of scandals to do with these Buddhist clergy. And then he, Emperor Kamu, founded a capital in Nagoka, which is near Nara. And that one, there was an uprising, people got killed, there were ghosts, obviously not going to be any good as the capital. So he then set out on a supposed hunting trip with his geomancers to find the perfect place. People were not particularly concerned with practical considerations, they were concerned with where it would be auspicious. And so he settled on Kyoto as the place to be his capital. And he then had it built, and that was an enormous job to build it. And it was in 794 that he was an enormous entourage of his attendants and his army and everybody else arrived by Palanquin in Kyoto, in the Imperial Palace there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


[[File:A Roll of the Dice 4.png|thumb|250px|Ezio meeting Salaì in La Volpe Addormentata]]
And there were many great Zen prelates who set themselves up in Kyoto. So if you go to Kyoto, it's absolutely full of Zen temples and other temples too, but I would say primarily Zen temples. The Zen priests had it linked with China and they were able to facilitate trade with China, to bring back ideas, bring back goods. So the Zen church became very wealthy as well as being very influential.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
Ezio found Salaì in La Volpe Addormentata, enjoying a game of [[Hazard|dice]]. Despite some initial resistance, Salaì eventually agreed to return to his Master's workshop with Ezio, much to the chagrin of three cloaked individuals who had been playing against Salaì.<ref name="A Roll of the Dice"/>


Once outside, the three individuals and several of their comrades, who were all revealed to be Hermeticists, attacked Ezio and Salaì. The two manage to defeat them, and Salaì remarked that only one individual could fight with such skill, correctly guessing Ezio's name. Ezio simply suggested that they continue on to Leonardo's workshop.<ref name="A Roll of the Dice"/>
These two lords, I think it was the Hashimoto's and the Yamunas, have been itching to fight for a long time, and they fought for 10 years. It's said that they destroyed the whole of Kyoto. That's not quite true. They destroyed the upper class part of Kyoto. So 10 years of fighting included looting, arson, and all these other things. But this mainly happened. This was the temples. This was the palaces. That lot got destroyed. Meanwhile, the shogun who lived at that point was a guy called Yoshimasa, who was living during the end of the 15th century. And he retired. He was very interested in the arts, and he was not remotely interested in fighting. And he kept well out of this fighting. And he went off to the east of the city, and there he built a fabulous pavilion, the silver pavilion. And there he carried on having a life of leisure and art with his friends. While all this was going on in Kyoto, his pavilion was facing away from the city, so it didn't have to see it was burning. And it was facing towards the lovely mountains on the east. And he was, again, an amazing patron of the arts. And under him, ink painting flourished, pottery flourished, every possible art form. Oh, linked verse became very important. So the war came to an end.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Avoiding the throngs of Hermeticists between them and their destination, Ezio and Salaì returned to find the workshop wrecked and Leonardo missing. Salaì regretfully informed Ezio that he did not know the location of the [[Temple of Pythagoras]], which was likely where Leonardo had been taken.<ref name="A Roll of the Dice"/>
The part of the city that had not burnt down was the part where the merchants and the artisans were, because they were poor chaps. And so nobody bothered with looting them, but they weren't that poor. So they were actually supplying and selling stuff to both sides in this war and getting richer. And the end of the Onin war, this is the Onin war, everything had sort of fallen apart, because Kyoto was in such a state of devastation.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Looking down to the floor in sadness, Salaì spotted some writing on the floor, which suggested that Leonardo's artwork that had hung in the Villa Auditore had held clues to the location of the temple. At first Ezio was dismissive, commenting that all the paintings had been destroyed in the attack, though Salaì quickly responded that only two had been destroyed, and one had been sold (by Salaì himself to buy a "now out of fashion" doublet), leaving five more to find. These five, he said, were currently in the hands of Lucrezia Borgia, Duchess of [[Ferrara]].<ref name="A Roll of the Dice"/>
So it didn't take as long as it would have taken to rebuild London, to rebuild Kyoto. It didn't take that long. So it could be rebuilt pretty quickly. And it happened again and again in the history of Kyoto, and also in the history of Edo, which was the city that later became Tokyo. Time and time again they were burnt down. So Kyoto was back on its feet quite quickly, but it was just known to be the capital. The name Kyoto means capital city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


====Recovering the paintings====
So in the Heian period, it was laid out on a grid. Like a chessboard with equal sized square areas. And then it had long boulevards going down the middle. It had small lanes going off to the sides. It had the Emperor's Palace up at the top with beautiful green roofs, red columns. Very spectacular. You could see the Emperor's Palace wherever you were.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>

[[File:The One Who Got Away 8.png|250px|thumb|left|Ezio seducing Lucrezia inside Delizia di Belriguardo]]
Ezio made his way to [[Delizia di Belriguardo]], climbing over the palazzo's outer walls and overhearing a paranoid Lucrezia ordering the guards into high alert. Infiltrating the palazzo through the attached stables, Ezio confronted Lucrezia on the stolen paintings, clarifying that he had not come to take her life.<ref name="The One Who Got Away">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[The One Who Got Away]]</ref>


Willingly, Lucrezia revealed that she only had one of the paintings left, as the rest had been taken after the fall of her family. Ordering her men to place the ''[[Annunciation]]'' painting in a cart outside the palazzo's walls, Lucrezia was then thrust against the wall by Ezio, who began to kiss her neck intimately.<ref name="The One Who Got Away"/>
Hideyoshi sort of basically laid out Kyoto as it is now. He cut those squares in half. So you have rectangular blocks rather than square blocks. He also built a wall around the outside of the city, which isn't there anymore, but he had that built. He also built these glorious palaces. So you would have very glorious palaces on the main boulevards, which again are still always in like a chess board laid out like a grid. And you'd also have glorious temples, probably not radically different in appearance from glorious palaces. And then you'd have the whole merchant's area, which would be tiny little lanes of small dark houses with bamboo blinds outside, very nice houses, which still exist. If you go to Kyoto, you can go down these little lanes. They're so thin that you have to walk down or you just go down on a bicycle or something. They're sort of dark wood houses, steep, steep stairs, several floors. I think they're called eel lanes because they're like eels. They're kind of long and thin like eels. And then you could see from the streets of Kyoto, you could see the mountains to the east, which is where Yoshimasa was looking when Kyoto was burning down behind him. You could see the mountains to the north. You could see the mountain to the northwest, which is always the unlucky direction, where there was a huge complex of temples on the top and still is. And you could also see Arashiyama to the west, which is where the Flying Dragon Temple was and lots of other beautiful temples and bamboo crows. So you always could see those all around.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


At this, Lucrezia told Ezio that three of the paintings had been sold to [[Francesco Colonna]], while the fifth went to an old flame of Lucrezia's named [[Patrizio]]. Ezio apologized to Lucrezia and then pulled back, revealing that he had tied her to the hanging drape. Lucrezia angrily called for her husband's personal guard, who pursued Ezio through the palazzo until he escaped out of a window, and into a bale of hay near the cart containing the painting.<ref name="The One Who Got Away"/>
Then you have down one side of the city is the River Kamo. And you've got the River Kamo dividing the city from the eastern mountains. And at the foot of the eastern mountain is an area of flat land, which became a big area of carnival. So if you wanted to have fun, you go there. So when you're having a respectable life and your wife and your family and everything else are there, you stay away from the mountains. But you could also cross the bridge to this area of carnival where there would be some more wrestling. There'd be jugglers, there'd be theater, and there would be ladies of pleasure, lots of ladies of pleasure.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Returning to Rome, Ezio made his way to the [[Vaticano District]], where he followed Patrizio, who was hoping to sell ''[[Portrait of a Musician]]'' to the Hermeticists. Ezio watched as [[Ercole Massimo]] belittled Patrizio for his racist views on Lucrezia's Spanish heritage, and then had him murdered when he tried to destroy the painting out of anger. Ezio pursued the Hermeticist tasked with transporting the painting, and eventually retrieved it.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[Memento Mori]]</ref>
And at various times, as you're within Hideyoshi's reign, a particular man whose name was Saburoemon Hara, he said to Hideyoshi, why don't I gather together these ladies of pleasure? Who are a little bit chaotic because it's good to have a bit of order. There's no issue with morality about this, it's to do with orderliness. So he gathered them into particular places which became pleasure quarters, which of course were number one, there was a wall around them, so you could keep an eye on what went on because there were bad guys that went there as well as good guys. Number two, you could tax them. And so these became very famous pleasure quarters. There's one in Kyoto [Shimabara, Kyoto], there's very famous one in Edo, which is now Tokyo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


[[File:Bon Voyage 5.png|thumb|thumb|250px|Ezio interrogating Duccio]]
So Kyoto somehow had a resurgence. It was also the center of the geisha, which is quite important, actually. It re-created itself as a center of traditional culture. So Tokyo is a big modern city. And as you know, Kyoto did not get bombed in World War II because it's such a center of traditional culture. It's got so much. And also it's not entirely, but it's largely a wooden city. And there was also a law was passed, which again, I think has been broken. But there are laws about the height of buildings you can build in Kyoto. You're not supposed to build very tall buildings. So it's mainly a low rise city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
Ezio then travelled to the home of Francesco Colonna, only to find that the house had been seized by the bank. He was told that the da Vinci paintings had been sold to an art merchant from Florence, who was waiting at the docks outside the Mausoleo di Augusto.<ref name="Bon Voyage">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[Bon Voyage]]</ref>


Making his way there, Ezio was surprised to see that the art merchant was his sister's former love interest Duccio de Luca. Duccio immediately set about insulting Ezio for living in a "third-rate city" such as Rome, and then again for his sister being the Madame of the Rosa in Fiore. For his troubles, Duccio received a short, stout punch to the face from a now angered Ezio.<ref name="Bon Voyage"/>
And then in Kyoto, there is an Emperor and has been residing all the time. So the Kyoto people like residents will be more aware of what's happening around the courtiers and so on. [...] And then medieval Japan as well, this Kamakura headquarters of the samurai has been moved and taken by a different family. And the samurai headquarters became the Kyoto as well. So in Kyoto, the dual structure of this courtiers and Emperor's house and the Shogunate. So the Kyoto people will be really subject to what political moves are. But other people like say around outside of Kyoto, they will be happily living in their regions and then they will have those like farming going on and they will have rather stable time so they could enjoy.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 08">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 8: How To Fit In: Feudal Japan</ref>


Duccio ordered his entourage to attack Ezio, though the Assassin was able to easily hold off his attackers. He eventually gained the information he wanted from Duccio, but the merchant pushed his insults even further against Claudia, resulting in a final blow, which knocked him unconscious.<ref name="Bon Voyage"/>
===[[Nara]]===
And before his time, the capital had been in Nara, but it was kind of taken over by the Buddhist priests. [...] There were all sorts of scandals to do with these Buddhist clergy. And then he, Emperor Kanmu, founded a capital in Nagoka, which is near Nara.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


After knocking Duccio out, Ezio made his way to the merchant's boat, which had been occupied by Hermeticists, to retrieve the [[Lady with an Ermine|third painting]]. Ezio swiftly eliminated them without being seen, and claimed the painting as his own. He then made his way to the Rosa in Fiore in order to ascertain a means of obtaining the last two paintings, which had been bought by a cardinal and put on display inside the Castel Sant'Angelo.<ref name="Bon Voyage"/>
There were the different sects of Buddhism arrived in Japan at different times. And the first sect grew up in Nara, as I said, and caused trouble. And that stayed in Nara. The whole point was to leave those priests behind in Nara and move to Kyoto.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


====Infiltrating the art exhibition====
===[[Tokyo]]===
{{Quote|There is a viewing at the Castel Sant'Angelo later today. You will need an invitation. Fortunately, I know where you can procure one.|Claudia helping Ezio.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
So it didn't take as long as it would have taken to rebuild London, to rebuild Kyoto. It didn't take that long. So it could be rebuilt pretty quickly. And it happened again and again in the history of Kyoto, and also in the history of Edo, which was the city that later became Tokyo. Time and time again they were burnt down. So Kyoto was back on its feet quite quickly, but it was just known to be the capital. The name Kyoto means capital city.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>
[[File:The Ezio Auditore Affair 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio entering the art exhibition]]
Upon reaching the Rosa in Fiore, Ezio spoke of the art exhibition with his sister Claudia, who directed him to the docks, from where one invitation was meant to be delivered. Ezio intercepted the [[Borgia messenger|courier]] carrying the invitation, and met up with a group of courtesans on the Ponte Sant'Angelo, instructing them to steal the paintings he would mark.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[Last Minute Invite]]</ref><ref name="The Ezio Auditore Affair">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[The Ezio Auditore Affair]]</ref>


Ezio marked the frame of the first painting, ''[[St Jerome in the Wilderness]]'', after distracting the guards on duty, then proceeded into the Castel for the second, backtracking along the same path he had used to escape with Caterina years previously. After marking the second painting, ''[[Adoration of the Magi]]'', in the upper chambers, he quickly left the Castel as cries over the theft rang out around him.<ref name="The Ezio Auditore Affair"/>
And so they [Imperial side of Boshin War] marched up, they took Edo castle. And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


[[File:Decoding Da Vinci 4.png|thumb|250px|Ezio and Salaì looking at the map leading to the Pythagorean temple]]
==Timeline==
Ezio returned to Leonardo's workshop, where the five paintings had been stored. Inside, he found Salaì already working to find any clues for the location of the temple, though he had found nothing. Salaì was on the verge of giving up when Ezio prompted him to think of ways Leonardo might have concealed his work. Salaì remembered that Leonardo had the habitude to working with invisible inks, and suggested that Ezio he used his gift of [[Eagle Vision]] to find any clues. Despite his annoyance at Leonardo for telling Salaì about his gift, Ezio did as was asked, and found small diagrams in each painting.<ref name="Decoding Da Vinci">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[Decoding Da Vinci]]</ref>
===[[Tenshō Iga War]] [1579-1581]===
We're at the end of the Sengoku period where Oda Nobunaga is in charge and extending his influence across the land. Specifically the conflict takes place with one invasion in 1579 and then another invasion in 1581.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


After inspecting all the paintings, Ezio drew out each diagram and laid them on the table. Salaì immediately worked out it was a map, although there were probably pieces missing from the two paintings destroyed during the Siege of Monteriggioni. Nonetheless, Ezio managed the piece together the map and located the entrance to the catacombs containing the Temple of Pythagoras.<ref name="Decoding Da Vinci"/>
And what are the main factors that lead up to kind of open war with Iga? Like I said, there's that independence that isn't particularly endearing to Nobunaga. He wants everything under his control, but they're not really necessarily a threat militarily, per se, to him. So for most of the time that he's establishing his hegemony, he is concentrated elsewhere. Iga at this time is ruled by an independent league or ikki that did not recognize any daimyo's hegemony and even gone so far as to expel the military governor of the province that had been appointed by the Ashkaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


====Temple of Pythagoras====
Oda Nobukatsu, was in charge of the province next to it and was looking to kind of establish his own reputation, spread his wings a little bit. And so here we have Iga province next to him, a place where he can launch an invasion, take it over. It's small. How hard could it be, right? Be an easy victory. And it turns out not to be.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
{{Dialogue|Leonardo|Those are not Pythagorean symbols. 43 39 19 N 75 27 42 W. Nothing. The Cult of Hermes is wrong, the number is meaningless.|Ezio|It is not intended for us.|Leonardo and Ezio in the [[Pythagorean Vault]].|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
[[File:TToP 9.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio and Leonardo exploring the catacombs]]
Ezio entered the catacombs and made his way towards the temple. As he did so, he could hear Ercole Massimo beating Leonardo, demanding he open the door to the temple. Ezio ordered the Hermeticist to stop, and after a brief exchange of words, he was attacked by Ercole's allies. He dealt with them swiftly, before climbing up to Ercole and assassinating him with his Hidden Blade.<ref name="The Temple of Pythagoras">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[The Temple of Pythagoras]]</ref>


Though Ezio suggested that they leave as Leonardo was injured, the other protested, saying that the "number" the Hermeticists had been seeking must be destroyed, lest another go searching for it. Reluctantly, Ezio agreed.<ref name="The Temple of Pythagoras"/>
Nobukatsu, Nobunaga's second son, takes that [Iga's expulsion of their military governor] as an excuse of, oh, see, they're not observing the proper order of things. They're not part of the structure. So he decides of his own accord that he's going to expand his domain into Iga without permission from his father. Part of this is ego driven. He wants to prove to his father that he can operate on his own and so forth. So in 1578, he dispatches one of his generals, man by the name of Takigawa Kazumasu, to build a castle just across the Iga border that they're going to use as a staging point for a future invasion. Well, the warriors of Iga are alerted to this and realize what this means. So they decide to attack and destroy it, which they do in November of 1578. Takigawa is taken completely by surprise. The castle is burned. Takigawa and his small force is forced to retreat. Obviously, they cease work on the castle and retreat back to Issei after losing a second battle where they tried to retake the ground.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


In each room of the temple, Ezio and Leonardo found themselves confronted by complex puzzles. The first room required Ezio to redirect beams of light, while the second had him redirect the flow of air into a large, fan-dominated, locking mechanism. In the final room, Ezio had to activate several switches, which directed streams of burning oil into a central plate. Once activated, the central plate lowered, revealing a large circular pedestal.<ref name="The Temple of Pythagoras"/>
So the following year in October, he decides he's going to launch a much larger invasion. So he gathers around a little over 10,000 men and invades Iga Province through three of those passes that I mentioned. In his main body, he has 8,000 men going through the northernmost pass at Nagano. And then he has a group of 1,500 men through one pass and 1,300 through another pass, these two passes to the south. But again, the Iga forces, speaking to their ability to collect intelligence and know what the enemy is doing, are ready and waiting at these narrow sites to ambush Nobukatsu's forces, which they do. They use their skill in guerrilla tactics and their local knowledge of the terrain. They inflict heavy losses against Nobukatsu's forces, again forcing him to retreat in a humiliating defeat.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Ezio and Leonardo recognized the symbols upon the pedestal as those shown to them by the Apple, albeit in the wrong order. Ezio watched as Leonardo rotated the pillars so the images fit, opening the door into the temple's [[Pythagorean Vault|final chamber]].<ref name="The Temple of Pythagoras"/>
But in 1581, he comes back and we have the main invasion of the Tenshō Iga War. [...] The key moment of failure is when Nobunaga decides to get serious and invade Iga with more of a plan than his son had.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


[[File:TToP 8.png|thumb|250px|Ezio and Leonardo in the Vault]]
It was not a protracted war once Nobunaga decided to invade. Even Nobukatsu's invasion only lasted a day before he was turned back. The second larger invasion of 1581 lasts nine days. So unlike this, you know, protracted guerrilla war that we might have in our minds, it was really a quick invasion by Nobunaga quickly taking a couple of castles, receiving their submission and then everybody moves on with their lives.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
Entering the vault, Ezio recognized the architecture as matching that of the Vatican and Colosseum Vaults. He approached the central [[Vault pedestal|pedestal]] and placed his hand above it. A bright light activated above him and soon enough, the entire chamber was cloaked in a dim green light. Before them, six numbers and two letters repeated themselves: 43 39 19 N 75 27 42 W.<ref name="The Temple of Pythagoras"/>


Although Leonardo totally dismissed the numbers as nonsense, Ezio remarked that the numbers were not meant for their eyes. To distract him from the numbers, Ezio asked Leonardo of his other projects as he led him from the room.<ref name="The Temple of Pythagoras"/>
To go into like the details, Nobunaga invades September 30th and it's a much larger scale different reports of the war, say he had somewhere between 40,000 or 60,000 troops. And the key that he really does is not only numbers, but it's the fact that he owns all the territory surrounding Iga. So he's able to send army forces that are equivalent largely to the size of the force that his son had, right, in 1579. But he can send that from six different sides. And this means that the Iga ikki cannot concentrate their forces to prevent any of these invasions coming in from any one pass. Whereas, you know, in 1579, they only defend three passes from one direction. Now it's six passes coming from all directions, including their neighbors to the north in Koka.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


===Finishing the Borgia===
So had the assistance of the Koka specialists in guerrilla operations and warfare to advise and assist him. And this is probably where we get a lot of the imagery of this rivalry between Iga and Koka because Koka did assist Nobunaga in his invasion. He also allegedly had some Iga members who offered to him to help show him through the passes and give him that advantage.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
====Travelling to Spain====
{{Dialogue|Ezio|Where is he now?|Captain|Gone! I know he was in the town, asking questions, but he’s well-known here, and he has many friends, believe it or not.|Ezio and the captain discussing Michelleto's whereabouts.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)}}
Arriving in Naples on Midsummers Day, 1506, Ezio, Leonardo and Niccolò were met with a wall of silence from the local population when they questioned them about Micheletto. They persevered, fortunately happening upon a courtesan named [[Camilla]], who claimed to have spent the previous night with a man matching their description of Micheletto. She pointed them to the docks and to [[Valencia]].<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>


Ezio, Niccolò, and Leonardo booked passage to Valencia, though the crossing took five days, as the sea was particularly rough, which lost the three any chance of catching up with Micheletto. Once they arrived however, they quickly learned that Micheletto had headed to the [[Lone Wolf Inn]], a place being described as "not for gentlemen".<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


Nonetheless, the three made their way to the inn and entered, only to be immediately set upon by ten men whose eyes were already accustomed to the darkness. Ezio and Niccolò fought off the ambushers, as Leonardo hid behind the bar. Ezio was then approached from behind and garroted by Micheletto himself, though a well-placed strike to the stomach from Niccolò's blade forced Micheletto to let go and flee.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
===[[Honnō-ji incident]] [1582]===
By the time that he died in the 1580s as a result of treachery on the part of some of his own men, actually, he had controlled most of Japan's main island of Honshu and he was on the verge of going to its second biggest island, Kyushu, down south. He actually at that point looked unstoppable.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>


Although Micheletto had fled, one of his underlings had survived the Assassins' onslaught, and reluctantly surrendered his master's destination: the [[Castillo de la Mota]]. The next day, after a short rest, the three continued on to the Castillo.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


They arrived too late though, and Ezio learned from a lieutenant that Cesare had escaped, although they were not yet sure how exactly he had managed it. Ezio immediately demanded a fresh horse, but Leonardo's exhaustion and Niccolò's counsel convinced him to stay awhile and rest.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
so immediately he [Toyotomi Hideyoshi] rushes from where he's been fighting over to take care of the traitors and he brings the traitors head back to Kyoto to effectively lay at the feet of Oda Nobunaga's body to say here we are you know I've taken care of this for you and Hideyoshi really then becomes the inheritor I think of this project to try to unify Japan and his major next step one of the steps that Oda Nobunaga would have taken had he lived was to attack Kyushu<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Within the month, they were back in Valencia and found the city in the grip of Cesare's diehards. Disheartened by the turn of events, the Assassins contemplated their next move. Leonardo piped up with a suggestion, asking them to gather sulphur, charcoal and potassium nitrate, as well as thin sheets of malleable steel.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmarutook his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head. And the supposed last order is Yasuke save my head. Yasuke runs with the head to Nobunaga's son, who is probably about five to ten minutes walk away, very close, in a different temple. So about to be attacked. Also just putting up the defenses for a last ditch stand. Of course, that doesn't last very long. He's dead within the hour or so. And all we know from the Jesuit source, there are no more Japanese sources, all we know from the Jesuit source is that Yasuke was there at the last. He was one of the few survivors. He was taken prisoner. He surrendered his sword. And he was then escorted to the Jesuit mission, which was again only five minutes walk away. This is a very small area of Kyoto where all this happens. The Jesuits give thanks to God for his deliverance.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


They complied, and in a short time, Leonardo managed to construct twenty small, hand-held [[bomb]], which could be thrown onto enemy positions after lighting the fuse. Leonardo then revealed to Ezio and Niccolò that he was returning to Italy on the next ship, as he was becoming homesick.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>


====Attack on Valencia====
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
{{Quote|Well, we don’t need the Apple to tell us what our old friend Cesare is planning.|Niccolò, on Cesare's plans.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)}}
Despite this setback, Ezio and Niccolò were determined to destroy Cesare's new army, and together formulated a plan. While Niccolò made his way to the diehards' camp, Ezio headed to the docks. Approaching the first ship, Ezio lit the fuse and threw it into the vessel, dismissive of what destructive power such a small device could possibly contain. He was shocked when the device exploded, cracking the warship's mast and felling it, with splintered wood flying high into the air.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>


Ezio continued to target Cesare's vessels, and in several cases, the initial bomb's explosion was followed by the detonation of the vessel gunpowder reserve; at one point, the explosion of one ship brought down the two on either side of it. All in all, Ezio managed to destroy twelve vessels with his ten hand-held bombs. He then met up with Niccolò on the corner of the street where the Lone Wolf Inn was located.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Climbing onto the roof of the building, Ezio and Niccolò peered over the open skylight onto Cesare and Micheletto, who were discussing the recent turn of events. Cesare angrily belittled Micheletto, blaming him for what had happened and driving him to launch himself across the table at his Master.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
He [Nobunaga] had a very dramatic and spectacular assassination by one of his own men. It's an amazing story, but that happened in Kyoto. He was in a temple where it was his land. He thought he was absolutely fine. He didn't have that many guards, and one of his own generals turned against him. So he was killed there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


Cesare quickly pulled one of his pistols from his belt and shot at Micheletto, destroying his face completely. Ezio pulled back, hoping to catch Cesare as he left the building, though Niccolò, who had craned forward to get a better look, kicked down a tile in the process, and caught Cesare's attention. Drawing his second pistol just as rapidly as he had his first, Cesare shot at the Assassin, hitting Niccolò in the shoulder.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
===[[Imjin War]] [1592-1598]===

Ezio briefly thought of pursuit, but Niccolò's injury was severe and required immediate medical attention. Finding a doctor, they learned the bullet had gone straight through, and that Niccolò would be sufficiently healed for travel in two weeks. Before Ezio left to pursue Cesare, Niccolò wished him good luck.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
his Korean campaign goes badly wrong in the 1590s the Chinese finally put some men in the field and they push the Japanese troops all the way back down the Korean peninsula so it doesn't go anywhere except for poisoning relations with Korea for a very long time to come<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


====Siege of Viana====
And then Hideyoshi asked him [Gaspar Coelho], I want to invade Korea. Then you provide two Portuguese ships to help me in this invasion. And if I conquer Korea, I will make it that there are a lot of churches being built. So Koelyo said, yes, I will do that for you. And I will make sure that we have two Portuguese ships, the Karak ships, as they were called by the English, gigantic ships. So Hideyoshi could very well use them for his invasion in Korea. And then he went a step further and he said, I will make sure that the Christian warlords in Kyushu will also support you. And I think at that moment that Hideyoshi, that there was a ring bell in his head, that the Christians, the Jesuits had too much influence in Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
{{Dialogue|Cesare|How did you find me?|Ezio Auditore|The Apple you stole from Mario Auditore led me here.|Cesare Borgia and Ezio Auditore|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
In 1507, Ezio finally located Cesare Borgia, who was leading the forces of his brother-in-law, [[John III of Navarre]], in a [[Siege of Viana|siege]] of the city of [[Viana]].<ref name="Pax Romana">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[Pax Romana]]</ref>


[[File:PaxR 8.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio fighting Cesare in Viana]]
===[[Battle of Sekigahara]] [1600]===
Ezio engaged Cesare on the battlefield, initially making an unsuccessful attempt to kill him with his Hidden Blade. Cesare made his escape towards [[Viana Castle]], and Ezio was almost overwhelmed by Cesare's guards. Narrowly surviving an artillery strike, Ezio chased after Cesare and followed him through the village. Fighting past the battling guards, and climbing two burning siege towers, Ezio eventually reached the ramparts of Viana Castle. He made his way through another small group of guards and engaged Cesare in combat atop the city walls.<ref name="Pax Romana" />
great battles in Japanese history the battle of Sekigahara which happens in 1600 so you've got a couple of nervous years or a bit less than that after the death of Hideyoshi this council in place but people are wondering really whether it will stick and what happens instead I think is you get the buildup of two sides that take the form in the end of an eastern and a western army and Tokugawa Ieyasu was at the head of the eastern army and in the autumn of Sekigahara he wins out and really everything goes to him and shortly afterwards he has himself appointed shogun<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


[[File:PaxR 6.png|thumb|250px|Ezio letting Cesare fall to his death]]
he does this enormous reshuffling of territory in Japan I think it's the biggest reshuffling of territory in terms of who controls what in Japan's history so lots of the people who are on the losing side at the battle of Sekigahara either lose everything or their territory is drastically cut down or they're shipped off to another part of the country entirely perhaps all these things that are designed to damage their power<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
Despite a continuous stream of soldiers attacking him, Ezio was able to whittle away Cesare's armor and overpower him. When Cesare angrily repeated his claim that no man could kill him, Ezio coldly replied he would leave him in the hands of Fate, and threw Cesare from the city walls to his death.<ref name="Pax Romana" />


Later, a much older Ezio returned to the Sanctuary beneath the Villa Auditore to leave a clue to the password that protected the Vault's entrance, as suggested by Leonardo years previously. The clue was visible only to those who possessed Eagle Vision.<ref name="A Seed">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|ACB]]'' – [[A Seed]]</ref>

====Discovering a new purpose====
{{Quote|There, over two centuries ago, our then Mentor, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, greatest of our Order, established a library deep beneath the fortress.|Excerpt from the letter of Giovanni Auditore.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)}}
With Cesare's death, the Borgia and their plans for Italy were finished. Ezio focused himself on internal matters, forming stronger ways of communication for the Assassins from Sicily to Venice, and creating more standard training methods for new Assassin recruits.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>


In 1509, Ezio happened upon some of his uncle Mario's documents, finding a letter written by his father Giovanni a year before Ezio was born, which mentioned a [[Library of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|sealed library]] beneath the old Assassin fortress of Masyaf; the home of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who had been Ezio's spiritual mentor during his early years as an Assassin.<ref name="AC2"/> Driven by a will to find out more about the Brotherhood, Ezio decided to leave Italy in 1510 and set sail for [[Syria]].<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>
===[[Boshin War]] [1868-1869]===
But towards the end [of the Tokugawa Shogunate], things were probably not as great as they might have been. Added to which the Tokugawas had ancient enemies and they had defeated them in the battle of Sekigahara. And those enemies were from the southwest, from the Kyushu area. From the sort of southwestern part of Honshu. And they wanted their revenge and they rose up. And with the help of the British, and they actually toppled the last of the Tokugawa Shoguns, who abdicated. And at that point, the southwestern lords took over. So they once again didn't have legitimacy, but they once again immediately said, oh, we represent the emperor. And that gave them legitimacy. But they decided in that 250 years, the Tokugawa's capital was not Kyoto. The official capital was Kyoto, but the Tokugawa city was Edo. So the center of policy, the center of government, the center of culture, more and more gravitated towards Edo. And so these southwestern lords decided that they would make the capital, not Kyoto, but Edo. And so they marched up, they took Edo castle. And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


====Pilgrimage to Masyaf====
==Groups==
{{Quote|None of you leave until the Assassin is dead. Do you understand?|Leandros sending his men after Ezio.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
===[[Jesuits]]===
In May 1510, Ezio set out from Rome on horseback, accompanied by Bartolomeo d'Alviano and fifteen of the general's mercenaries. After fifteen days, they arrived at Bari, on the eastern coast of Italy. At Bari, Ezio chartered a ship, a freighter called the ''[[Anaan]]'', and set sail for Corfu, located between Bari and [[Athens]].<ref name="Revelations (novel)">[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' novel]]</ref>
And at the same time you had the Society of Jesus which started in 1540 and soon after the Papal Bull was ordained. Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Along the way, the freighter was attacked by pirates, as it was carrying a valuable cargo of spices. Ezio joined the crew in fighting off the pirates and assisted in capturing the pirates' captain, a man Ezio would later come to know as [[Al-Scarab]]. The ''Anaan'' arrived safely in Corfu, and Ezio promptly made arrangements to sail to Athens, and from there to [[Krete|Crete]], and then Cyprus. Not long after departing from Crete, Ezio's ship ran into a storm, and was forced to dock at [[Chios]] for minor repairs.<ref name="Revelations (novel)"/>
So he had a lot of expectations for Japan and in 1549 he finally set foot on Japan. So that was really the first time that the Jesuits arrived in Japan only six or seven years after the first Portuguese came there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Finally, Ezio arrived at Cyprus, where he spent some time exploring the island, including the [[Templar Archive|Templars' archive]]. However, as he experienced more delays, it became apparent that the Venetian authorities stationed in Cyprus were intervening with his journey. Finally, Ezio took matters into his own hands and attempted to "acquire" a small ship of his own, so he could continue on to Masyaf.<ref name="Revelations (novel)"/>
You have, for example, Ōtomo Yoshishige, who became a Christian after a long time. But he was very well disposed against the Jesuits. You have other people like Takayama Ukon, who became a very fervent Christian and all his samurai also. So they were very fond of them, and they listened to the Jesuits. They asked them a lot about politics, how they could manage this or that issue. So the Jesuits got a lot of influence with some warlords and also with a lot of the peasants and the lower ranked people. So they really had some success, success that they didn't experience in other countries.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


No sooner had he found a seaworthy vessel was he attacked by a mysterious man, whom Ezio thought he recognized. The commotion caused by their fighting attracted several members of the island's Night Watchmen, and Ezio, along with his mysterious assailant-turned-ally, fought off the guards. As the last man fell, Ezio was stabbed in the side and fell unconscious. When he awoke, Ezio found himself on a ship headed for Acre, manned by none other than the pirate captain he had defeated some months earlier.<ref name="Revelations (novel)"/>
Xavier left in 1551, but soon there came more and more Jesuits.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Ezio arrived in the city of [[Acre]] ten months after leaving Rome. After spending a week there, Ezio was informed that the road to Masyaf was filled with foreign bandits and mercenaries. He also wrote a [[Ezio Auditore's letters|letter to Claudia]], informing her of his journey so far and that, should he not survive, she should not seek vengeance. Shortly thereafter, he continued his journey to Masyaf.<ref name="The Hangman">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' – [[The Hangman]]</ref>
And that information [Fróis' letters] was used by the Jesuits in Europe for propaganda. So they published, after some censorship, Luís Fróis' and Vilela's and other letters, in Italy. And they were also translated in several languages like Latin, German, French, and so on, for the Catholic Reformation in Europe. They would say, see what we can do in Asia, and especially in Japan. We probably have lost England, but we have gained another island in the form of Japan. So they did a lot of propaganda, which gave them additional financial resources and many European Jesuits who wanted to join the efforts in Japan, which was good for them for a time, but could work as a double-edged sword.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


[[File:The Hangman 8.png|thumb|left|250px|Templars leading Ezio to a plank]]
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
Ezio arrived at Masyaf in March 1511, and found the town to be crumbled and largely abandoned. Upon making his way to the fortress, Ezio was ambushed by the town's [[Byzantine Rite of the Templar Order|Byzantine Templar]] garrison, under the command of their captain, [[Leandros]]. Outnumbered, Ezio nonetheless attempted to fight his attackers, but was distracted by visions of Altaïr and captured. The Templars took the defeated Assassin and lead him onto a plank to be hung from the fortress' watchtower. However, as Leandros put the noose around Ezio's neck, Ezio attacked Leandros, threw the noose about Leandros' neck, and eventually escaped along the outside of the tower.<ref name="The Hangman"/>


Ezio quickly made his way back to the battlements, where he retrieved his weapons. He then made his way beneath the castle, to the doors of Altaïr's library, where he learned from a worker that Leandros had the [[The Secret Crusade|journal]] of [[Niccolò Polo]] in his possession, which supposedly led to the [[Masyaf Key|keys]] needed to open the library's door.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[A Narrow Escape]]</ref>Ezio left the fortress and pursued the Templar Captain, who had escaped by carriage.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[A Journal of Some Kind]]</ref>
And when he had conquered Kyushu, he again met with Coelho on a Portuguese ship. And Coelho again said that we will support you in whatever endeavor you will take. But the night suddenly he sent a questionary to Coelho, asking him why they came to Japan, why they are making so much converts. And why are they destroying the Buddhist temples? Of course Coelho was really shocked with that. He was so well treated and suddenly everything changed overnight. So he gave his answer that, well, they came to Japan just to propagate their faith, in good faith. And that it was not them who destroyed the Buddhist temples, but the Japanese converts. So the answer of Hideyoshi was that he made a decree that the Jesuits had to leave Japan in 20 days. But he didn't enforce the order very strictly. And that was the same reason why the other warlords welcomed the Jesuits, because he didn't want disrupt the trade with the Portuguese. So he promulgated that decree. But afterwards, the Jesuits stayed in Japan and still continued their missionary work there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


[[File:The Wounded Eagle 12.png|thumb|250px|Ezio assassinating Leandros]]
Tokugawa Ieyasu, he forbade Christianity totally. And all influence of the Jesuits was razed very systematically from then on.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
Ezio managed to hold onto a rope trailing from the carriage, and dragged himself up to the carriage itself. Leandros escaped onto the carriage of one of his men, and the chase continued, with each carriage jostling for space on a narrow cliff path.<ref name="A Hard Ride">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[A Hard Ride]]</ref>


Eventually, a well-placed bomb sent Ezio's carriage over the edge, severely injuring him, though he persistently continued to follow Leandros.<ref name="A Hard Ride"/> Fighting his way through a [[Atlas Village|nearby village]], Ezio eventually confronted and assassinated Leandros. After learning that the Templars were searching for the Masyaf Keys to open Altaïr's library, Ezio rather brusquely gave Leandros his last rites, before claiming the journal for himself.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The Wounded Eagle]]</ref>

====Settling into Constantinople====
===[[Portuguese Empire]]===
{{Quote|Welcome to Galata district. For centuries it has been a home to orphans from Europa and Asia alike. You won't find more diversity anywhere else in the city. And for that reason, Assassins make it their home.|Yusuf welcoming Ezio.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
When does that contact begin? Well, that begins in the middle of the 16th century, in 1549 to be correct. The Portuguese, they travelled to the east from the 15th century on and in 1498 I think they established a sea route to India and they went even further and in the beginning of the 16th century they already were in Malacca but then it still took some time for them to reach Japan. It was in 1542 or 43, it's still being disputed, that the first Portuguese merchants reached Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
Having obtained the journal, Ezio made his way to [[Constantinople]] by ship, where he hoped to find those Masyaf Keys the Templars had not already obtained. As they neared the port, Ezio briefly spoke with a fellow passenger, a [[Suleiman I|young man]] claiming to be a student. Ezio spoke to him of how he spent his own youth, until [[Sofia Sartor|a woman]] on the ship caught his attention. Disembarking the ship at the [[Galata]], Ezio was greeted by the leader of the [[Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins|local Assassin guild]], [[Yusuf Tazim]].<ref name="Revelations Warm Welcome">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[A Warm Welcome (Revelations)]]</ref>


[[File:ACR Welcome 6.png|thumb|left|250px|Yusuf welcoming Ezio]]
Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion. Xavier had quite a correspondence with King John about all what he did in Asia and it wasn't what he expected.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
Yusuf informed Ezio of the state of affairs in the city and of how the Byzantine remnants, allied with the Templars, fought with the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] for control of the city while there was a civil war between the Sultan [[Bayezid II]] and his son [[Selim I|Selim]] who claimed the throne. As the Sultan wasn't in the city, the Templars tried to reclaim Constantinople. On their way, the two Assassins were attacked by Byzantines. As Templar backups arrived, the two Assassins were protected by Ottoman guards who chased the Byzantines.<ref name="Revelations Warm Welcome"/> Later in the [[Galata headquarters]], Ezio was introduced to some of Yusuf's men, and was advised to get new equipment.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[Upgrade and Explore]]</ref>


When the two met again, Ezio was provided with an Ottoman [[hookblade]] and was taught on its uses by Yusuf, in parkour and combat.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The Hookblade]]</ref> To test his new skills, Yusuf challenged Ezio to climb the [[Galata Tower]] and reached the top before him.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The View from Galata]]</ref> After the race, the two were contacted by the Assassin [[Kasim]] who warned them that the Templars attacked the [[Assassin Den|Assassin dens]] of the Galata and the [[Grand Bazaar]]. On their way to the Galata den, Yusuf taught to Ezio some assassinating tactics with the hookblade. Arriving at the den, Yusuf decided to defend the Grand Bazar while Ezio organized with other Assassin the defense of the Galata.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[Advanced Tactics]]</ref> After the Assassins defeated the Templars at the Galata, Ezio decided to join with Yusuf at the Grand Bazar.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[On the Defense]]</ref>
==Three Great Unifiers==
===[[Oda Nobunaga]]===
But he's from the small province of Owari. But he's a really good example of someone who was able to use a combination of smart tactics, smart use of weaponry, judicious use of alliances to gradually expand beyond that province. So he takes another province for himself right early on. This is the middle of the 1500s. Then he makes some alliances. By 1568, after really only a few short years, and he's still relatively speaking a young man, he's able to do what most daimyo ultimately wanted to do, which is to mount a successful march on Kyoto and have the emperor under his BDI and also have the shogun under his control.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 1: Civil War in Feudal Japan: The Sengoku Period</ref>


After he crossed the [[Golden Horn]], Ezio fought with Yusuf who was attacked by the Templars. After they succeded, Yusuf informed Ezio that they lost the Grand Bazar den. Together, they decided to reclaim it. As the district was controlled by the Byzantines, the two Assassins stayed in low profile and Ezio was introduced by Yusuf to [[Bomb|bombs]] that he could use as a distraction. Arriving near the den, with other Assassins, they infiltrated the area and Ezio killed the Byzantine captain before igniting the signal fire to reclaim the den.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[On the Attack]]</ref>
One of the stories told about him when he was a young man, just after his father left, all the Buddhist priests who had been tending to his father, praying for him, looking after him before he died, legend has it anyway that Oda Nobunaga had them all locked inside a single building and then shot to death for what they did, i.e. failing to keep his father alive. He also had a reputation as a teenager for being just quite strange, swaggering around town, eating nuts, letting them fall out of his mouth. He had sort of disheveled hair. At his father's funeral he's said to have picked up a fistful of incense and just thrown it and walked out. So quite a strange character, probably an unpromising character early on, but he was given this motto of rule the realm by force and I think that carried him through. He had a strong sense that he was always going to do this, that he was always going to succeed and I think there's a combination of deep self-belief and ruthlessness and I suppose a degree of luck as well that really seems to carry him forward. By the time that he died in the 1580s as a result of treachery on the part of some of his own men, actually, he had controlled most of Japan's main island of Honshu and he was on the verge of going to its second biggest island, Kyushu, down south. He actually at that point looked unstoppable.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 01"/>


As they lost many Assassins during the attack of the den, Ezio decided to recruit some citizens in the Brotherhood. His first apprentice was a man who was imprisoned for stealing food. Ezio freed him by stealing the key of his cage.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The Prisoner]]</ref> Ezio continued to recruit citizens who had useful skills for the Brotherhood or had the will to fight the Templars. Later Ezio investigated the disappearance of many Assassins in the Galata. With another Assassin apprentice, Ezio discovered the corpses of their brothers and sisters killed with Assassins' tactics. As they spotted a mysterious hooded man, they tracked him but he left the area as Byzantines attacked the Assassins. The apprentice revealed to Ezio that the hooded man was [[Vali cel Tradat]], a former Assassin who joined the Templars.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The Sentinel, Part 1]]</ref> As Ezio though that the apprentice wasn't ready to fight Vali, he sent him to a mission in [[Bursa]] to perfect his training.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[Guild Contracts]]</ref>
So in terms of Oda Nobunaga, not an especially promising background I think. If you think about the era into which he's born, there are roughly 120 of these states. Some of them at war with others, some of them in alliance etc. But his state or province or what he is just one of those and quite a small one at that. Plus I think it's 1551, his father dies when Oda Nobunaga is still quite young, still a teenager and he inherits control of this state and the people around him don't see him as an especially serious figure and especially compromising figure. You can imagine some of the senior vassals a little bit older than him thinking goodness me I don't know what's going to happen to our little province with this person in charge. He was I think just seen as being slightly mad, a bit of an idiot not really able to take life terribly seriously and yet within a few short years he proves himself to be this master strategist who becomes by the mid 1560s really the main player in Japan out of all these warlords.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Later, Ezio met again with Yusuf who taught him how to craft bombs for any kind of situation. After this, Ezio showed him the journal and explained why he was in Constantinople. Yusuf suggested Ezio meet with [[Piri Reis]], a [[Master Assassin]] who was also a cartographer and a bomb crafter, who could help him in his quest. Arriving at his shop in the Grand Bazar, Ezio spoke with Piri who indicated him the location of Niccolò Polo's old trading post, which was now a book shop.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[Bomb Crafting]]</ref>
What he succeeds in doing is very early on gaining control of a neighboring province and then he makes a very fortuitous alliance with the man who becomes Tokugawa Ieyasu. He doesn't yet have that name at this point in the 1550s but that's a great alliance. It allows Oda Nobunaga not to have to worry too much about the territory to one side of his own province and so he can look elsewhere for his focus but I think other things that seem to go in his favor include a real talent for strategy, choosing the right moment to attack, I think an extraordinary ruthlessness to him as well.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Arriving at the book shop, Ezio met the owner, Sofia Sartor; the woman who had caught Ezio's eye on the ship into the city. While speaking to Sofia, Ezio investigated the place to find some clues. Locating a secret passageway beneath the trading post, Ezio flirtingly suggested they both investigate but was politely rebuked.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[A Familiar Face]]</ref> He then entered the [[Yerebatan Cistern|underground cavern]], where Templars were searching another Masyaf key. Discreetly exploring the underground, Ezio successfully obtaining his first Masyaf Key, as well as an encrypted map.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The Yerebatan Cistern]]</ref> Returning in the book shop, Ezio showed Sofia the map. Together they saw that the map indicated the location of many books from Polo's library. As Ezio though that some of them could indicate the location of the Masyaf keys, he decided to associate with Sofia who would decode the map while Ezio would give her the books which she could reprint them.<ref name="Quid Pro Quo">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[Quid Pro Quo]]</ref>
So I think by the time he dies in 1582 he has control of large parts of Japan's main island the long thin island of Honshu contains places like Tokyo as it's now called Kyoto of course Osaka for centuries really the central part of that central island really across from Osaka and Kyoto up to what we now call Tokyo has been considered as it were the business end of Japan that's where a lot of the power plays go on the culture is developed the economy is at its strongest and Oda Nobunaga has control of most of that certainly between himself and his allies in any case and he's thinking about moving into two other of Japan's main islands Kyushu which is towards the southwest and also the smaller island of Shikoku so he's got lots of plans he's still a relatively young man he's in an extraordinarily powerful position and he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Leaving the book shop, Ezio met Yusuf and showed him the Masyaf key. Yusuf advised to hide it in the Galata headquarters. When Yusuf explained that he needed to meet the different allies of the Assassins: the Mercenaries, the Thieves and the [[Romani]]es.
So you had, for example, Oda Nobunaga, which showed great familiarity to the Christians, to for example, Fróis, who he invited in Kyoto in Gifu Castle and showed him around in the castle. So it was very positively inclined towards the Christians, but still he never adopted the Christian faith himself.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>
Ezio decided to speak with the latter faction first as he never truly had contact with them. Yusuf agreed and showed to Ezio the tunnels network to travel easier through the city.<ref name="Quid Pro Quo"/> Meeting the Romanies, Ezio discovered that the Templars stole their chest of gold. The Assassin decided to help them using his poison blade to kill the Templars to create the illusion that the chest was cursed. Ezio reclaimed the gold and became an ally of the Romanies, that he could recruit to distract guards when needed.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[Curse of the Romani]]</ref> Later, Ezio also helped the Thieves' guild by killing a snitch and saved the son of the Mercenaries' leader who was captured by the Byzantines.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' [[Loose Lips]]</ref><ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[Unfortunate Son]]</ref>


In the Galata headquarters, Ezio examined the Masyaf key and understood that it was an [[Memory Seals|artifact of those who came before]]. With it, he relived a memory of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, when he saved his Mentor [[Al Mualim]] from the traitor [[Haras]] and became a Master Assassin.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The Mentor's Keeper]]</ref> Later, the apprentice sent to Bursa returned and informed Ezio that Vali kidnapped to Assassins to exchange them for the Galata den. Ezio decided to save the Assassins who revealed to him that it was a ruse to draw them from the Galata headquarters. Returning in the area, Ezio and the apprentice witnessed the Templars attack the headquarters. As Vali fled, Ezio tracked him before the apprentice performed an air assassination on Vali. In his last breath, Vali explained that he joined the Templars as the Brotherhood didn't protect his country, the [[Wallachia]], against Ottoman invasion. After that, the apprentice was granted the rank of Master Assassin and assigned to protect the Galata den.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|ACR]]'' – [[The Sentinel, Part 2]]</ref>
Another one, when getting to Miyako, which is now Kyoto, a huge mob literally surrounded the mission and almost pushed the mission down, throwing stones. There were dead people in the crowd outside. And at that point, Nobunaga, who was the most powerful warlord in Japan at the time, was five minutes walk away. He heard this huge hullaballo, which he liked. He heard what was going on. And he demanded to see who was disturbing the peace, demanded that this person be brought before him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


====Working with Prince Suleiman====
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmaru took his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
{{Quote|For now, keep an eye on Tarik and his Janissaries. They spend much of their free time in and around the Bazaar.|Suleiman instructing Ezio.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
Ezio continued to aid the Assassins in the city while Sofia worked to uncover the location of the remaining Keys. At one point, Ezio disguised himself as a minstrel, and prevented an attack on the young Prince Suleiman at [[Topkapı Palace]]. He recognized Suleiman as the "student" from the ship he had entered the city on. After becoming acquainted with him, Ezio helped uncover those behind the attempted assassination.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>


[[File:Uneasy meeting 1.png|thumb|250px|Suleiman conversing with Ezio]]
when Nobunaga is born in 1534, the Oda family effectively had control of Owari province at this point. Though the family itself was fractured and Nobunaga's branch was interestingly not the primary lineage.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
Their investigations led them to [[Tarik Barleti]], Captain of the [[Janissaries]] responsible for Suleiman's protection, and supporter of his father, [[Selim I]]. After observing an exchange of weapons between Tarik and [[Manuel Palaiologos]], heir apparent of the now-defunct Byzantine throne and member of the Templar Order, Ezio was tasked with killing Tarik by Suleiman.<ref name="ACR"/>


Ezio carried out the assassination, only to discover Tarik had been working to apprehend Manuel and his associate—[[Shahkulu]]—"where they felt safest". Remorsefully, Ezio asked for Tarik's forgiveness, before delivering the news to Suleiman.<ref name="ACR"/>
the Oda family, as I said, they were the deputy governors underneath the Shiba family in Owari, and he's born as the first legitimate son of a man named Oda Nobuhide, who is the defacto leader of the Oda family. Like I mentioned, his line was not the senior line, but Nobuhide was particularly capable and competent and brought his relatives under his control and for the most part dominated the governance of Owari province. But he was in constant conflict with his neighbors, particularly the powerful Imagawa Yoshimoto to his east and a daimyo named Saitō Dōsan to his north in Mino province.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


====Journey to Cappadocia====
So Nobunaga's youth would have been one where his family was in constant conflict, both internally and externally. He was designated Nobuhide's heir rather early on, and given the education that you would expect of an heir, he was given four of Nobuhide's high-ranking subordinates as his tutors, so to speak, kind of to raise him up and teach him the ways that he would need to rule both military and politically. But it's often said he was a bit of a wild child who preferred running around with his friends rather than studying, out hunting, and raising all kinds of ruckus. Allegedly he wore outlandish outfits like a tiger skin cloak, and generally he didn't really act the part of an up-and-coming warlord. You'll often hear that he was called the Fool of Owari.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
{{Quote|There he is. The monster I came to kill.|Ezio when confronting Manuel.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:Setting sail 14.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio leaving Constantinople with Piri Reis]]
After obtaining the four Keys still within Constantinople, Ezio travelled to [[Derinkuyu|Cappadocia]], the location given to him by Tarik, to confront Manuel Palaiologos. Before he could depart however, he was intercepted by Yusuf, who informed him that the Janissaries had raised the [[Great Chain]] across the mouth of the Golden Horn to prevent him from leaving the city. Yusuf provided Ezio with a sizable bomb, claiming that it was significantly more dangerous than their usual explosives.<ref name="ACR"/>


Ezio proceeded to the port, where he destroyed the Great Chain with Yusuf's special bomb, and burned the numerous Templar ships that guarded the harbor using [[Greek Fire]].<ref name="ACR"/>
But in 1549, he marries the daughter of Saito Dosan, who is located to Owari's north in Mino province, as part of a peace agreement between Dosan and Nobuhide.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Arriving in Cappadocia aboard Piri Reis' ship, Ezio sought to make contact with Tarik's spies already in the city. However, he soon learned that many of Tarik's men had already been discovered, apprehended, and executed by the Byzantines. He arrived just in time to prevent the execution of the remaining spies, engaging and eliminating Shahkulu in open combat.<ref name="ACR"/>
So Nobuhide dies in 1551. And despite Nobunaga being his heir, there's some contention based on his pattern of erratic behavior. One of the famous events that is often brought up is at Nobuhide's funeral. Nobunaga shows up allegedly very unkempt, not in the proper formal funeral attire, and acts very disrespectfully, throwing incense at the altar instead of performing the proper respectful rituals.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


[[File:Last Palaiologi 4.png|thumb|250px|Ezio facing Manuel Palaiologos]]
And based off of this, we are told that some of his father's vassals form a faction around his younger brother while other branches of the family. So this is an opportunity for them to seize control, push this loser who's not ready for the job out of the way. Other vassals defect to the Imagawa or plot with the Saito. So his position upon his father's death is actually very precarious.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
With the spies safe, Ezio proceeded to detonate the city's ordinance supply and, in the ensuing panic, gave chase to Palaiologos. Confronting him at one of the city's docks, Ezio killed him and claimed the fifth and final Key. Before he could leave, however, he found himself confronted by Suleiman's uncle and heir-apparent to the Ottoman throne, [[Ahmet]].


Revealing his own Templar allegiance, Ahmet demanded Ezio to hand over the Key, lest harm fall upon Sofia Sartor. Angrily, Ezio pledged vengeance should any harm come to her, then made his way back through the now smoke-filled city to his ship, and to Constantinople.<ref name="ACR"/>
But in 1553, one of his senior retainers, one of these four men who was designated as his tutors and mentors, a man by the name of Hirata Masahide, commits suicide. [...] We have Hirata committing this form of protest suicide. And it serves as a way to wake up young Nobunaga to his rather outlandish behavior and how it's being detrimental to both, you know, his own well-being and the well-being of the Oda family.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


====Fight with Prince Ahmet====
he does begin to more seriously concentrate on consolidating his control over Owari and the Oda family.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
{{Quote|Now should be a time for remembrance and mourning, I know... but our enemies do not permit us that luxury.|Ezio before confronting Ahmet.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:Discovery 3.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio rallying the Assassins against Ahmet]]
After arriving in Constantinople, Ezio hurriedly made his way to Sofia's bookshop. He found the place ransacked and Yusuf, whom Ezio had asked to look after Sofia during his time in Cappadocia, killed. Upon discovering Yusuf's body, Ezio gave him a final blessing before shutting his eyes. Declaring a renewed vengeance against all those who dared to cross the Assassins, Ezio collected the remaining Keys and prepared to ambush Ahmet during the exchange.<ref name="ACR"/>


However, Ahmet held Sofia hostage atop [[Galata Tower]], and Ezio was forced to give him the Keys in order to rescue her. The hostage turned out to be [[Azize]], one of Ezio's fellow Assassins, and Ezio saw Sofia was being hung in a courtyard.<ref name="ACR"/>
So his first fight is to simply gain control of his own family, you know, largely inside of Owati province. There's some pressure from external enemies that Imagawa to the east. But initially from 1552 to 1554, he's contending with iterations of rebellion from his uncle, Nobutomo, who inspired to assassinate him and worked with, you know, other entities to try to make that happen. Nobunaga catches him and forgives him once. But you know, second time he continues to plot. Nobunaga captures him and has him put to death.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


After [[Parachute|parachuting]] down towards her, and after ensuring that she was fine, Ezio boarded a carriage with to pursue Ahmet, who had already hurried off towards Syria to find the library and unlock its contents.<ref name="ACR"/>
In 1556, again, out of fears that Nobunaga is just not up to the task. Several of his major retainers side with his younger brother Nobuyuki, but Nobunaga, you know, warned of potential treachery at one point, feigns an illness instead of going to go meet his brother. So his brother comes to meet him. And when he does, Nobunaga has him and his entourage assassinated.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


After a lengthy ride through the country, which left Ezio essentially parasailing to hang onto their carriage, he managed to grab Ahmet and the two struggled as they both went flying off a cliff. Ezio subdued the prince and opened a parachute to save them both.<ref name="ACR"/>
So the 1550s is really the story of Nobunaga's consolidation of his power within the Oda family, establishing himself as the leader of the family. And by default, almost the ruler of the Oda province. In 1559, his final obstacle is the castle of Iwakura and his cousin Nobuyasu, who belongs to the senior branch of the Oda line. But he manages to take Iwakura castle and eliminate Nobuyasu. And this ends the internal threats now.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


As they both recovered from their rough landing, Ezio and Ahmet saw an army arrive with Selim at its head. Selim explained that the Sultan had chosen him over Ahmet, and proceeded to strangle his brother and throw him off a cliff. Selim spared Ezio, having heard good things about him from his son Suleiman, but ordered him to stay out of Constantinople.<ref name="ACR"/>
In 1560, the powerful daimyo Imagawa Yoshimoto to his east, enrolled [????] Toutomi, Suroga, and the Kawa provinces, and came from the illustrious Imagawa line, which was one of the pillars of the former Ashikaga shogunate. He decides, or it's usually assumed at least that he decides that he's going to make a run at marching on the capital of Kyoto to take charge of the central government. So he gathers together an army of 25,000 troops and begins his march east. And the first stop is, of course, his neighbor in Owari province, Nobunaga. So he has to go through Nobunaga's domain. On paper, this is going to be very easy. He's got 25,000 troops, which at the time was a very large army. And Nobunaga only has a few thousand men, maybe 2,500. So we're looking at roughly around a 10 to 1 disadvantage. But Nobunaga, despite the fact that his advisors all counsel him to withdraw into his castle at Kyosu and withstand a siege, he decides that that's a losing strategy. Because what's he going to do against an attack by an army that size? He decides that his best course of action is to try to seek an opening and attack.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


[[File:Message 3.png|thumb|250px|Ezio speaking to Desmond]]
But the Imagawa forces by midday had made significant progress against the Odo forces invading. So the Imagawa army was much larger. It was rather spread out and divided. The vanguard had taken several of these forts that Nobunaga had. Yoshimori himself was with only a few thousand troops. And at his command post, they took a bit of a siesta, almost, if you will, in this small narrow gorge called Dengaku Hazama. And they were celebrating some of the Imagawa troops had already broken into the celebration sake in anticipation of their great victory that they saw coming because, you know, how could you see anything else? A little bit after this, there's a rainstorm. This was in the summer. So the rainy season in Japan. This thunderstorm breaks out and it really helps Nobunaga maneuver his forces through the mountains, through these narrow passes into position to attack Imagawa Yoshimoto's headquarters camp. They broke out of the tree line to attack the camp. And at first Yoshimoto assumes that it's a drunken brawl taking place amongst his men. Too late, he realizes that it's not that he's actually under attack. And shortly after that, two of the Otis samurai relieve him up his head. In the aftermath, the Imagawa forces deprived of their commander melt away in confusion. And we have this almost legendary victory by other Nobunaga outmanned ten to one, destroying the forces of this great daimyo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
After traveling to Masyaf with Sofia, Ezio used the five Keys to open the door to Altaïr's library. Ezio discovered there were no books, only the body of the former Mentor, with a [[Memory Seals|memory seal]] in his hand. The seal revealed Altaïr's final moments, and the location of [[Apple of Eden 2|his Apple]] at the back of the library.<ref name="ACR"/>


Ezio moved towards the Apple, but refused to take it, believing he had seen enough for one life. The Apple emanated a wave of light, and Ezio began speaking to Desmond. Acknowledging he was a conduit for a [[Synch Nexus|message]], Ezio removed his bracers and sword to declare the end of his life as an Assassin. He then encouraged Desmond to make his life's sufferings worth it, and told him to listen.<ref name="ACR"/>
So it kind of makes a name for Nobunaga. Another key thing about this battle, though, and the aftermath is that in the confusion of the Imagawa family with the loss of their head, several of their more talented and younger retainers, one of which we know today as Tokugawa Ieyasu, are able to claim independence. And Ieyasu establishes himself in his home territory of Mikawa, which is just to the east of Owari, and establishes an alliance with Nobunaga, thus providing a secure flank to Nobunaga's east, allowing Nobunaga to then look in other directions as he begins to expand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


====Return to Constantinople====
So Nobunaga, his next target is this province to his north, Mino Province, which is much larger in size than Owari, and it's somewhat kind of the nexus of road networks in central Japan, where two of the major roads from Chiyoto into the capital in central Japan to the east runs through it. So it's a pretty strategic province to have. So he goes to war against Saitou Dousan and it takes a while, but through diplomacy and bribery of the Saitou generals, he's able to convince many of them to join his side. And by 1567, he's weakened them enough to besiege and take the main castle at Inabayama, which he then renames Gifu.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
{{Quote|Prince Suleiman knows of your return and has provided you with a safe-conduct. But his father is adamant that you should not remain long.|Azize to Ezio.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)}}
After their visit to Masyaf, Ezio and Sofia returned to Constantinople to set their affairs in the city to rest. Despite Selim ordering Ezio never to return, Suleiman managed to secure Ezio a brief visit, as long as he behaved himself.<ref name="Revelations (novel)"/>


Ezio made sure that [[Dogan]], the new leader of the Turkish Assassins, was able to competently command the Assassins' Guild there. Ezio also oversaw the selling of Sofia's bookshop to Azize, the Assassin who had been kidnapped by Ahmet and held at the top of Galata Tower as a decoy. The bookshop was used as an outpost for the Assassins, and Ezio stored the Masyaf Keys in the chamber where he had found the first key, underneath the bookshop.<ref name="Revelations (novel)"/>
So then he works to consolidate his position by doing some preliminary campaigns into neighboring Issei province and establishing diplomatic relations. So he marries his younger sister, Oichi, to a warlord named Azai Nagamasa who rules northern Omi province. And this is significant because Omi is the province that lies between Mino and Owari, which he owns, and the capital of Kyoto. So he's in essence securing a line of, you know, advance for future endeavors.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


===Later life===
The previous shogun, Ashikaga Yoshitero, had been assassinated in 1565 and replaced by a puppet. So Yoshitero's younger brother, a man by the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, had been traveling around the provinces trying to seek a benefactor who would back his claim and help him march on the capital. So shortly after Nobunaga establishes himself in Gifu, Yoshiaki arrives on his doorstep in 1568, thus giving him a pretext to make his move on the capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
====Settling down====
{{Quote|I knew I would not have enough time to do everything. Now I worry I do not have enough time to do anything.|Ezio Auditore during his later years.|Assassin's Creed: Embers}}
Ezio and Sofia married in Venice. In late 1512, the pair returned to Rome, with Claudia congratulating them on their union. She also informed Ezio that [[Leo X|Giovanni Lorenzo de' Medici]], son of the late Lorenzo de' Medici, had close ties to the Papacy, which she considered good news.


[[File:ACA Ezio.jpg|thumb|200px|left|A retired Ezio in 1515]]
The fact that he can take a legitimate claimant to the Ashikaga shogunate and march on Kyoto with utter the pretext of putting him into power gives him the legitimate of his siege to do so. So November of 1568, he enters Kyoto with his army and installs Yoshiaki as the 15th Ashikaga shogun. However, here's where things start to differ from what you might have expected at the time, because rather than accept Yoshiaki's offer to be his deputy shogun, Nobunaga declines that in any other position that Yoshiaki offers.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
Ezio, having decided to resign from the Brotherhood, chose [[Lodovico Ariosto]] as his successor, against which Claudia protested, citing Ariosto's relation to Alfonso d'Este and his wife Lucrezia Borgia.<ref name="Revelations (novel)" />Ezio and Sofia later retired to a villa in the Tuscan countryside and had two children together, Flavia and Marcello. At his new residence, Ezio tended to a vineyard, and often spent time in his study, writing his memoirs.<ref name="Embers">''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers]]''</ref>


Despite his retirement from active service, the former Mentor continued to be involved with the Brotherhood affairs for some time after resigning. By 1515, Ezio was supervising the training of two young apprentices, [[Hiram Stoddard]] and [[Giovanni Borgia]], the son of Lucrezia Borgia and the Assassin [[Perotto Calderon]]. While being impressed with the skills and spirit of Stoddard, Ezio tried to share his wisdom with the prideful and envious Borgia.
In 1570, Nobunaga sends an invitation, sensibly on Yoshiaki's behalf, to local warlords for a reception in Kyoto. And this is almost a way to test who was going to accept his authority and who wasn't. And the daimyo of Ichizen province, Asakura Yoshikage, refuses the summons. So Nobunaga launches a campaign to besiege the Asakura's main castle. But unfortunately for Nobunaga, the Azai, his brother-in-law's family, his brother-in-law being Azai Nagamasa, had a multi-generational alliance relationship with the Asakura. So Nagamasa feels obligated to go to the Asakura's aid, and he launches an attack on Nobunaga's army's rear, forcing Nobunaga to break off the siege and retreat while a rear guard held off the Asai and the Asakura forces. So Nobunaga feels personally betrayed by this man who was a relative by marriage. And the Asai and Asakura are one of the initial threats that he faces.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


That same year, Ezio received a letter from his friend [[Michelangelo]], informing him of a new Templar plot in the city. The old master then sent his two apprentices, under the leadership of Stoddard, to meet with Michelangelo and to deal with the Templars but they failed to recover the artifact in possession of [[Dei Petrucci]].<ref name="ACA">''[[Assassin's Creed (Titan Comics)|Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
The two sides meet in July of 1570 at the Battle of Anegawa, where Nobunaga was joined by his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu. And they fight this battle in the shallow Anagawa River, both sides plunging into the water to engage the enemy. So if you picture this dramatic battle in this shallow river, Tokugawa, on Nobunaga's right flank, managed to route the Asakura and then crash into the flank of the Asai while at the same time Nobunaga sent his reserves around the other flank. And it causes the collapse of the enemy to create victory.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


====Final visits to Leonardo====
But the surviving members of the Asakura and the Asai forces find refuge on Mount Hiei, which is a mountain just to the northeast of the capital. And it's the site of the Enuryakuji Temple, which is the headquarters of the Tendai Sept of Buddhism and a military power in its own right. what that matters is that, you know, this was a Buddhist temple that had essentially an army of its own. And so this prevents Nobunaga from cutting off the Asai and the Asakura forces and completely destroying them. And he has to back off,<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
{{Quote|I’ll tell you a secret. All my life—while I thought I was learning to live, I have simply been learning how to die.|Leonardo's words on dying.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)}}
By 1519, Ezio had suffered a chest infection, and as a result developed a serious cough.<ref name="Embers" /> A visit from Machiavelli revealed that their mutual friend Leonardo was dying. The pair travelled to Amboise in France to the manor Clos Luce, where Leonardo was staying.<ref name="Revelations (novel)" />  


[[File:Amboise reunion.png|thumb|220x220px|right|Ezio visiting Leonardo]]
Another group that around this time rises up to challenge his authority and one that will probably his longest running enemy is what's known as the Ikkō-ikki or the Ikko League. This was a confederation of followers of the true Pure Land Sept of Buddhism. And its headquarters was the Ishiyama Hongan-ji, which was located in what is now present day Osaka. But it had groups of adherents called these Ikki or leagues scattered throughout the provinces of central Japan. And in 1570, Nobunaga starts a war with them because the self-defense groups, these Ikki and the Ishiyama Hongan-ji itself resisted political and military control by local warrior rule. In fact, in 1486, the Ikko Ikki of Kaga Province overthrew the local dainyo and ruled the province without any samurai rule for almost 100 years.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
Upon their arrival, Ezio snuck into Leonardo's room and met the old master. To entertain his bedridden friend, Ezio recounted his meeting and short fling with [[Lisa del Giocondo]].<ref name="ACRef">''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]] #01''</ref> During their other talks, Ezio learned that his friend wished to travel outside of the manor to places like England or even back to Venice where he hoped to sell his submarine idea, seeing as he was disappointed with his patron's last creation, a giant mechanical lion.<ref name="Revelations (novel)" />


The pair stayed in France for another week, and visited Leonardo often. They were with him the moment he died. Upon their departure, rumors began to spread that [[Francis I of France|King Francis]] was with Leonardo until he died, and had cradled his head. Ezio was disgusted by this rumor and believed that anyone, even a king, would do anything for publicity.<ref name="Revelations (novel)" />
For 10 years until 1580, he's in this constant on and off war with the Ishiyama Hongan-ji and their ikko followers in various locations throughout the provinces. And they're really the linchpin of the various coalitions that are opposing Nobunaga. You know, at this point, these are kind of like the main enemies that he's looking at.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


====Teaching Shao Jun====
But in 1571, he realizes that the only way to solve his problem of encirclement is to break kind of the circle. So he starts with Mount Hiei, the Enuryakuchi temple complex that had given refuge to his enemies. And in the fall, he brings them out and has his troops advance up deliberately. And according to eyewitness accounts from the time that are written down, his troops are killing anything that's alive, whether it be monks, laymen, women, children, reportedly even every animal that's on the mountain. And they burn almost every building of this massive temple complex.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
{{Quote|So I spent many years teaching men and women to think and act for themselves. First in Rome, then among our Brotherhood in Constantinople.|Ezio expaining his deeds to Shao Jun.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)}}[[File:EzioAuditoreEmbers02.jpg|thumb|left|250px|right|Old Ezio tending to his vineyard]]
Ezio spent his final years at his countryside villa, mostly tending to his garden, raising his children, with his wife Sofia taking care of him. One day in 1524, Sofia left with Marcello to visit Claudia, leaving Ezio to watch over Flavia. As Ezio started harvesting the crops, he called for Flavia to stay where he could see her. However, as he worked, he saw a mysterious cloaked figure approach Flavia. Panicking, he sprinted over to them, seizing the stranger by the collar, but pausing as he noticed the [[Assassin insignia]] on the necklace she wore.<ref name="Embers" />


Afterwards, the Assassin introduced herself as Shao Jun, a Chinese Assassin, who had travelled to Italy with her Mentor to learn of methods to unite the Assassins of her homeland. However, Ezio refused to be involved, though he allowed her to stay in the villa for the night on Sofia's insistence.<ref name="Embers" />
Early assessments of their relationship by historians assume that Nobunaga's plan all along was to use him as a puppet and then throw him away and take power for himself. I agree with more recent biographers, you see it as a little bit more complicated than that. Ashikaga Yoshiaki, obviously, as the Shogun, felt that he should be in charge. So after being installed in 1568, he attempts to rule, but he quickly sees that he cannot do anything without Nobunaga's help. And by 1572, there's some real tension between the two of who's in charge. Nobunaga issued several admonishments, which have been published and are famous, going so far as to note how the people call Yoshiaki the evil Shogun, in scare quotes there, and laying out rules for the Shogun's house to follow. Of course, Yoshiaki takes offense at this and who are you to tell me the Shogun how to run things? And so, like I said, early on, historians looked at this as Nobunaga's overstipping his bow, just trying to push Yoshiaki out.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


[[File:Embers ShotBreakdown 01.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio and Jun in Florence]]
I see a different reading of it that is more compelling to me is that, no, he really saw that this was like the structure that should be in place and was trying to guide Yoshiaki back onto an actual correct path of governance, at least as Nobunaga saw it. And his efforts to maintain relations with Yoshiaki, at least initially, were very sincere. But Yoshiaki is the one who kind of pushes the relationship to the breaking point. And the early 1570s, he's orchestrating coalitions of enemies to move against Nobunaga. In addition to the Iko Iki, he's kind of another lynchpin of the different coalitions against Nobunaga, trying to convince different daimyo to turn against Nobunaga, invade, come rescue me in Kyoto and be my savior and I'll grant you XYZ, so forth.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
The following day, Ezio found Jun sitting in his private study, reading a letter he had been writing. Infuriated, he ordered her out of the room, and insisted that she leave the villa.<ref name="Embers" />


However, Jun thoughtfully recited to him the words that he had written, wishing to understand their meaning. Ezio finally consented and invited her to accompany him into Florence while he ran errands. On the journey there and back, he finally spoke to her of the importance of love in the Assassin Order, saying that if she could support that which inspired hope in her people, she would succeed.<ref name="Embers" />
This continues until 1573, when it's very obvious that Nobunaga has run out of patience. In 1573, he does march on Kyoto and expel Yoshiaki, which more or less ends the Ashikaga shogunate for good. And then Ashikaga would escape to Western Japan, where he would take up residence in the lands of one of Nobunaga's enemies, the Mori family. And from there, he would continue to write different daimyo, constantly trying to create a coalition that could overthrow Nobunaga and reinstall him in power. How effective that was? Well, we see that it didn't happen, but he certainly was doing his best the entire time to undermine Nobunaga.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


However, the two of them were ambushed by a Chinese Imperial soldier in Florence. Jun explained that she was a concubine who had escaped by joining the Assassin Order, and the soldier who attacked the two worked for the Chinese Emperor. Correctly expecting another attack at the villa, Ezio had his family evacuate to Niccolò Machiavelli's home, while he and Jun stayed behind.<ref name="Embers" />
The Takeda family is finally destroyed in 1582. And one of the few remaining enemies in the main island of Japan that he is concerned about is this family called the Mori family. And he's had one of his generals man by the name of Hashida Hideyoshi, who we would later know as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One of his generals is leading the campaign against them. And having just completed the campaign in the east against the Takeda, he is given notice by Hideyoshi that a siege of a castle is almost complete. But he's worried that Mori reinforcements are going to come. So please send additional reinforcements to me in order to defeat the Mori.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
[[File:Shao traininig.png|left|thumb|228x228px|Ezio trains Shao Jun
]]
During this time, Ezio taught Shao Jun various combat and stealth techniques that she would later use in exacting her revenge on the Templar eunuchs known as the [[Eight Tigers]].<ref name="CC">''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]''</ref>


Ezio and Jun were able to defend against the attack later that night, and in the morning, Ezio gave Jun a [[Precursor box|small chest]] before her departure, telling her only to open it if she lost her way.<ref name="Embers" /> He had known from the start that the chest – which happened to be of Precursor origin – was always empty, to teach Jun to accept the responsibility that only she could decide which path to follow, the same path of blood that Ezio had taken. Although he had seen the rage and anger behind her eyes and tears, he could not encourage Jun to seek revenge, for it was her that would fulfill her own destiny.<ref name="CC" />
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


====Death====
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>
{{Quote|I am home.|Ezio to Sofia in Florence.|Assassin's Creed: Embers}}
[[File:ACE-V 14.png|thumb|250px|Ezio passing away on the bench]]
In his final hours, Ezio chose to go to Florence with Sofia and Flavia while they went shopping. Ezio sat down on a bench, feeling ill, and shrugging off Sofia's concerns that he should have stayed home, stating "I am home."<ref name="Embers" />


While Sofia and Flavia went to buy groceries, a young man approached Ezio, thoughtfully berating the women of Florence. Ezio wearily responded by implying the man was the problem, not the city. Immediately afterward, Ezio began panting and holding his chest in pain.<ref name="Embers" />
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


The young man quickly grabbed Ezio's hand and told Ezio to have courage. He told Ezio to "get some rest", and then left. Ezio looked back at him angrily but calmed down just as quickly. Breathing heavily, Ezio looked over at Sofia and Flavia, smiling, before resting his head against the back of the bench, and passing away peacefully.<ref name="Embers" />
So one of the things that he institutes in large scale, though not systematic scale, is land surveys, sending out his administrators to take surveys of the arable land and their rice production yield. What this does is it establishes tax registers, it establishes known income values, and it enables Nobunaga to award rights to the land to his subordinates. And in some ways, assign them or move them based off of income levels, the pieces of land are very modular, and he can move his retainers around underneath him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi after him, who turns it into a systematic evaluation of the entire Japanese realm.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


==Legacy==
Nobunaga is furious. He couldn't believe that his son had put himself in position to be defeated and humiliated like this. So he supposedly threatens to disown Nobukatsu. He doesn't end up following through on it, but he's not pleased.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>
{{Quote|Who are we, who have been so blessed to share our stories like this? To speak across centuries? Maybe you will answer all the questions I have asked.

Ezio's actions had a profound effect on the Order. Due to his efforts, many cities around Europe came under Assassin control and influence, ushering in something of a Golden Age in Europe. His descendants continued to take a leading role in the running of the Order for almost five-hundred years after his death.<ref name="ACB" />


At some point in his life, Ezio wrote a codex detailing the events of his life; including those that transpired in the Vatican Vault, which was named the [[Prophet's Codex]]. By 2002, it was located in the [[library of Ivan the Terrible]] underneath the {{Wiki|Bolshoi Theatre}} in [[Moscow]], protected by the Assassins, though it was eventually retrieved by the Templar agent [[Daniel Cross]], who handed it over to [[Abstergo Industries]].<ref name="ACTC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Chain]]''</ref>
Nobunaga invades. He outnumbers the Iga defenders about four or five to one. And the Iga defenders are spread across the province. They can't concentrate in one location. They end up being concentrated in two castles, one in the north Hijiyama Castle, and one in the south Kashiwara Castle. But it all ends with the surrender of Kashiwara Castle on October 8th. At that point, there's no more organized resistance to Nobunaga. Nobunaga himself visits Iga in early November to take a tour of his new province, and then withdraws it and gives it to his son Nobukatsu as part of his domain to administer.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>


In the year 2000, a statue of Ezio could be found in "[[Mentor (2000)|the Mentor]]'s" [[Dubai]] facility, alongside statues of other prominent Assassins.<ref name="The Fall #003">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]'' – Issue #3</ref>
So one of their descendants, Yoshiyaki, was around and he was a pretty hopeless guy. But he was officially the Shogun. So Nobunaga's excuse for entering Kyoto was to reinstate him as Shogun. But actually, he, like a lot of these guys, is this Yoshiyaki. The Shogun was very treacherous. We wanted to get rid of Nobunaga, and he instigated a plot against him. So Nobunaga had him arrested and taken off to a castle in the middle of nowhere and left there forever. So that was the end of him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


By 2012, one of Ezio's descendants, Clay Kaczmarek, relived his memories through the [[Animus]], and hid several [[The Truth|data files]] in his recorded sessions. Desmond Miles, another descendant of Ezio from a later relationship, also relived his ancestor's memories in order to exploit the [[Bleeding Effect]] and inherit Ezio's skills as an Assassin. Concurrently, Desmond's sessions also allowed the modern-day Assassins to learn about the [[Second Disaster|oncoming disaster]], Minerva and the First Civilization,<ref name="AC2" /> the location of Ezio's Apple of Eden,<ref name="ACB" /> and the location of the [[Grand Temple]].<ref name="ACR" /> Desmond would eventuality sacrifice himself to protect Earth from the [[Second Disaster|oncoming disaster]].
So the Emperor [Michihito, Emperor Ōgimachi] was still rather broke. The Emperor throughout centuries was very often very poor, and very often just basically getting pocket money from whoever is in power, but still had respect and was still officially descended from the Sun Goddess, the most respected person in the entire land. So Nobunaga then gave the Emperor lots of money and furnished the Imperial Palace made it good. So he gave himself legitimacy as a ruler by helping out the Emperor.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


In 2013, [[Abstergo Entertainment]] recovered Desmond's genetic material, and considered using Ezio's memories in one of their productions, seeing his charisma, looks, and youthful spirit as strong points; however, the company's marketing analysts also saw his "downward spiral of revenge" as a drawback, and interpreted his mission to spread his "corrupted Creed" throughout the world as a contradiction of the idea of free thought that he fought for. As a result, the company rejected any forthcoming production using Ezio as the main character, claiming it to be a risky investment.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref> Further, in 2014, Abstergo Entertainment's CCO, [[Melanie Lemay]], advised against using Ezio in their products, although she noted that he would be a perfect candidate for a series focusing on notable serial killers throughout history.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>
He [Nobunaga] had a very dramatic and spectacular assassination by one of his own men. It's an amazing story, but that happened in Kyoto. He was in a temple where it was his land. He thought he was absolutely fine. He didn't have that many guards, and one of his own generals turned against him. So he was killed there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


in 2017, Otso Berg relive Ezio's memories at Abstergo Montreal in order to learn how to graft the assassin's skills and knowledge onto himself while being the Black Cross.<ref name="ACRef" />
===[[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]===
so Hideyoshi Toyotomi was one of those [ashigaru] now and again he carried the sandals of Oda Nobunaga Oda Nobunaga used to refer to him affectionately as that bald rat Hideyoshi's famously sort of short on a bit of hair but nevertheless he rises through the ranks to be a senior and trusted man under Oda Nobunaga so immediately he rushes from where he's been fighting over to take care of the traitors and he brings the traitors head back to Kyoto to effectively lay at the feet of Oda Nobunaga's body to say here we are you know I've taken care of this for you and Hideyoshi really then becomes the inheritor I think of this project to try to unify Japan and his major next step one of the steps that Oda Nobunaga would have taken had he lived was to attack Kyushu<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


==Personality and characteristics==
yet for Hideyoshi Kyushu is a part of Japan that he simply must have so he sends around a quarter of a million men over to Kyushu to take it for himself which he manages to do in fairly short order in 1586 and 7<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>
{{Quote|Ezio's learning fast. He reminds me of you.|Maria to Giovanni.|Assassin's Creed: Lineage}}Ezio was raised as a Florentine nobleman in the late 15th century, unaware of either the Assassins' existence or his heritage. Although Ezio lived a life of luxury, he did not exhibit the typical spoiled attitude of other Florentine nobles. He was a playful, charming, affable young man who did chores for his mother and father without question and often went out of his way to help others, especially his family.<ref name="AC2" />


Before he was chased out of Florence, Ezio was outgoing and had many friends, although he was initially shy and awkward around girls. Like his father, Ezio possessed great acrobatic abilities, being able to climb skyscrapers, move swiftly across rooftops, and perform death defying leaps with relative ease. It is unknown if he learned these skills on his own, or if they were taught to him by Giovanni, Federico, or Mario. <ref name="AC2" />
Hideyoshi for his part had a powerful dislike of Christians so the island of Kyushu in this period was probably the part of Japan where Christian missionaries Portuguese and Spanish mainly the Jesuits but also others as well had since the 1550s been making quite a large number of converts so some of the warlords the daimyo in Kyushu were actually Christians who had a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish and Japanese names and Hideyoshi was astounded to find when he got to Kyushu but he found some Christian missionaries offering him to kind of broker deals with warlords help him take over the island these people as far as Hideyoshi were concerned were foreigners preaching of foreign faith he discovered that Nagasaki had been raised up into this great port by the Jesuits who had effectively been given Nagasaki by a local warlord so the extraordinary influence that a foreign power preaching of foreign religion had in Kyushu I think upset Hideyoshi very much<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


[[File:JJE 5 v.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio identifying himself as Uberto Alberti's killer]]While a novice Assassin, Ezio was frequently blinded by rage, furiously stabbing Uberto Alberti to death and flying into an angry tirade after killing Vieri. But eventually, Ezio managed to gain control of his emotions and, by the time he became a Master Assassin, could control them almost completely.<ref name="AC2" /> However, Ezio was still prone to flying off the handle at the right trigger; in 1506, he beat up Duccio de Luca in a fist-fight after incessant provocation.<ref name="Bon Voyage"/>
Hideyoshi once he's taken Kyushu just a few years later launches invasions of Korea so he sends troops across including some of Christian warlords commanding them across to Korea wanting to use it almost as China's driveway if you think about the geography of it send these troops up through Korea take over the peninsula eventually invade and take over China and after that he also wanted to take over India as well<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


By the time Ezio confronted Rodrigo Borgia, he had become more dedicated to his role as an Assassin, ceasing to use revenge as a motivation. He became more focused on instilling a sense of fraternity among his apprentices, and a love of the cultures they would defend from the Templars.<ref name="Embers" /> He also spared the lives of any targets that he concluded had no need to die, most notably Micheletto Corella (although this would prove to be a mistake).<ref name="ACB"/>
although Hideyoshi has done very well by 1590 as I say he pretty much has most parts of Japan wrapped up under his control and he's starting to think about internal administration he introduces measures for example to disarm the peasantry so if you want to end this period of all against all warfare he wants to return to a position where most people cannot bear arms and it's very clear who can and who aren't and where you sit in these various samurai hierarchies so he does all these bits of internal administration too I suppose another thing he starts to do is to launch these surveys of the land something that Oda Nobunaga had started to an extent but Hideyoshi really goes for it to get a sense of who going forward owns what in Japan what kind of tax you ought to pay so the things that you know maybe strike some fans of history as a bit dull but nevertheless a sign I think of a new order starting to entrench itself so he does all that but his Korean campaign goes badly wrong in the 1590s the Chinese finally put some men in the field and they push the Japanese troops all the way back down the Korean peninsula so it doesn't go anywhere except for poisoning relations with Korea for a very long time to come and then in 1598 Hideyoshi dies and the one thing he doesn't manage to do and I suppose fans of history from Europe and elsewhere there's similar things happen here one thing you want to do if you're a newly established ruler is make sure that the succession is in place...<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


Ezio was loyal to his family and carried the loss for the rest of his life after the Auditore execution. Although he was able to lay the bodies of his fallen family to rest, he continued collecting feathers throughout Italy in honor of his youngest brother. This feather collection helped cure his mother of the catatonic state she had been in since her husband and children were murdered.<ref name="AC2" /> Claudia thought Ezio a bit overbearing at times, as shown by her journal, but knew that he was trying to help regardless, and stood by her brother and the Assassins.<ref name="ACB"/>
And you had Otomo, which was a very powerful clan in the east of Kyushu. And then you had in the southwest, you had the Shimazu. And Otomo was losing against the Shimazu. So he asked Hideyoshi to intervene. And sometime before Hideyoshi marched towards Kyushu, he met with Coelho, which was then the head of the Christian mission in Japan, together with Fróis. And he treated Coelho very well, just like Oda Nobunaga had done with Fróis. So Coelho was really pleased with that. And then Hideyoshi asked him, I want to invade Korea. Then you provide two Portuguese ships to help me in this invasion. And if I conquer Korea, I will make it that there are a lot of churches being built. So Koelyo said, yes, I will do that for you. And I will make sure that we have two Portuguese ships, the Karak ships, as they were called by the English, gigantic ships. So Hideyoshi could very well use them for his invasion in Korea. And then he went a step further and he said, I will make sure that the Christian warlords in Kyushu will also support you. And I think at that moment that Hideyoshi, that there was a ring bell in his head, that the Christians, the Jesuits had too much influence in Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Ezio became more quiet and distant during his late 40s, reluctant to share information regarding his early life with associates such as Salaì, but also being more open with those he knew and cared for. Near the end of his life, Ezio was still as loving and passionate with his family but became more gruff towards strangers, such as Shao Jun. This was in part due to his old age, but also reluctance to involve himself any further with Assassin affairs, although he eventually warmed up to the Chinese Assassin. It could also be said that Ezio had grown paranoid of strangers since, in comparison to previous seasons, he had not hired any help for his vineyard's grape harvest despite his worsening condition. In addition, Ezio had become somewhat forgetful, possibly increasing his uneasiness with unknown people.<ref name="Embers" />
And when he had conquered Kyushu, he again met with Coelho on a Portuguese ship. And Coelho again said that we will support you in whatever endeavor you will take. But the night suddenly he sent a questionary to Coelho, asking him why they came to Japan, why they are making so much converts. And why are they destroying the Buddhist temples? Of course Coelho was really shocked with that. He was so well treated and suddenly everything changed overnight. So he gave his answer that, well, they came to Japan just to propagate their faith, in good faith. And that it was not them who destroyed the Buddhist temples, but the Japanese converts. So the answer of Hideyoshi was that he made a decree that the Jesuits had to leave Japan in 20 days.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Ezio also seemed to be aware, or at least have a feeling, that his time was growing short, as evidenced by his confession to Sofia, "I knew I would not have time to do everything, now I worry that I don't have time to do anything," as well as his preparation of a final letter in the event of his death.<ref name="Embers" />
Nobunaga's main retainer, a man called Hideyoshi, was born a peasant. He actually became Nobunaga's successor after Nobunaga died. So he rose from literally the bottom almost to the top within his lifetime. He died quite early as well, maybe in his 50s. So it wasn't even a long life.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>
===Equipment and skills===
{{Quote|Despite its age, its construction is rather advanced.|Leonardo da Vinci, commenting on Ezio's Hidden Blade.|Assassin's Creed II}}[[File:As Good As New 4.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio in his Roman robes]]
Ezio was both a highly skilled Assassin and an adept Mentor. He learned and developed a vast array of skills, such as picking pockets, blending into crowds, armed and [[Fist|unarmed combat]], alternative or multiple weapon attacks, stealth and public assassination techniques, [[freerunning]] and long-range combat.<ref name="AC2" />


He was also able to use a variety of weapons and gadgets, including two Hidden Blades, a sword, throwing knives, smoke bombs, short blades and many more. Born with the ability to use Eagle Vision, Ezio could instinctively differentiate friend from foe and be warned about any oncoming danger or attacks, allowing him to dodge it upon realization. After talking to his captive father, he later inherited his father's [[Ezio Auditore's robes|Assassin robes]], which he would upgrade with various armor and dyes throughout his life.<ref name="AC2" />
The Takeda family is finally destroyed in 1582. And one of the few remaining enemies in the main island of Japan that he is concerned about is this family called the Mori family. And he's had one of his generals man by the name of Hashida Hideyoshi, who we would later know as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One of his generals is leading the campaign against them. And having just completed the campaign in the east against the Takeda, he is given notice by Hideyoshi that a siege of a castle is almost complete. But he's worried that Mori reinforcements are going to come. So please send additional reinforcements to me in order to defeat the Mori.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>


An explorer, throughout his quests, Ezio scoured the cities he visited in search of Codex pages and seals from the six [[Assassin Tombs]] spread across northern Italy. The Codex pages allowed Leonardo da Vinci to upgrade his weaponry, including the addition of a wheellock firearm and [[Poison Blade|poison needle]] concealed beneath his left Hidden Blade.<ref name="AC2" />
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


By collecting the six tomb seals, Ezio gained access to the [[Armor of Altaïr|armor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad created]], which was later lost during the Fall of Monteriggioni. He also collected [[Assassin's Creed II outfits|capes]] that had helped him stay incognito to city guards. The only exception to this was the cape bearing the Auditore family crest, which made him easily recognizable, due to his family's history.<ref name="AC2" />
So one of the things that he institutes in large scale, though not systematic scale, is land surveys, sending out his administrators to take surveys of the arable land and their rice production yield. What this does is it establishes tax registers, it establishes known income values, and it enables Nobunaga to award rights to the land to his subordinates. And in some ways, assign them or move them based off of income levels, the pieces of land are very modular, and he can move his retainers around underneath him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi after him, who turns it into a systematic evaluation of the entire Japanese realm.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


In 1500, during the Siege of Monteriggioni, Ezio lost most of his equipment but was able to keep his original Hidden Blade. His blade also underwent some alterations anonymously by Niccolò Machiavelli, though he merely replaced the former leather and metal bracer with a new, fully plated version bearing a different design. Also, the former blade was replaced with a newer one that bore a black design running down the center of the blade.<ref name="ACB"/>
And his trusted lieutenant, who was a guy called Hashiba Hideyoshi, Hashiba Hideyoshi had a lot of different names. He started off the son of a farmer and he was called Hiyoshi. And he was also called Saru-san, which means Mr. Monkey, because he was an ugly bloke and looked like a monkey. He was small and ugly. He had a lot of girlfriends. He had a really devoted wife to whom he wrote wonderful letters. This is all by the by. Hideyoshi is a great guy. Hideyoshi came galloping back from the campaign he was engaged in when he heard that Nobunaga had been killed. And basically Nobunaga's method had been force and violence. Hideyoshi was the man with the golden tongue. He used persuasion. He was nice to people. And he got everybody to pledge allegiance to him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


During his time in Rome, Ezio's usual attire would be replaced by a new outfit based on elements from both his father's clothing and Altaïr's robes. He became an adept user of the [[crossbow]], and also obtained the [[Armor of Brutus]] after stealing all the [[Scrolls of Romulus|scrolls]] from the [[Followers of Romulus]]. In addition, Ezio also acquired [[poison dart]]s and parachutes, courtesy of Leonardo da Vinci.<ref name="ACB"/>
And because Hideyoshi came from a poor family, he was a farmer's son. He had climbed his way right through the ranks, which only two people in the whole of Japanese history did. But he sort of didn't have anything to prove to anybody. He was very nice to the emperor, but he loved culture. He wanted to enjoy all those wonderful things that the upper classes had. But under him, the sort of culture he liked was chō. He liked display. He liked sort of flamboyancy. For example, there are paintings of the wonderful kimonos people wore. And there are also beautiful paintings of how Kyoto looked, with all the people on the streets, people dancing, the beautiful buildings, the temples, the palaces.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


[[File:ACB Ezio Freerun.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio freerunning over the Tiber]]
He built a palace in the middle of called Jurakudai, in the middle of Kyoto, where Nijō Castle is. That now, for those of you who've been there, anyone who's been there, right in the center. And then he also built Momoyama Castle [aka Fushimi Castle] in the south of Kyoto. And he also, while he was at it, I'm not sure if I'm answering your question anymore, but he had an enormous tea party for the entire population of Kyoto, the entire population, including all the poor people, and got them all to come. And it occupied a whole sort of enormous shrine grounds. And I think there was something like 800 tea pavilions there. Part of tea is displaying your beautiful utensils. And he displayed his gold utensils. And he also had an entire tea hut made of gold, the golden tea hut.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
Ezio was a very skilled freerunner from a young age. He learned how to freerun under the tutelage of either his father or older brother, and was able to move quickly and efficiently in sprinting, climbing, and jumping. In addition, he was also an extremely enduring and strong athlete, being able to perform all these actions without being encumbered by his large variety of weapons and armor at all.<ref name="AC2"/>


Despite his advancing years, Ezio Auditore's skill and speed as a freerunner increased significantly, being aware of all of his surroundings as well as planning his next move very quickly and carefully, as observed by younger Assassins such as Francesco Vecellio.<ref name="Project Legacy"/>
Hideyoshi sort of basically laid out Kyoto as it is now.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>


Ezio's speed and abilities gave him a legendary status among the Roman Thieves Guild, so far as going to convince some of the members to believe that Ezio's freerunning skills were exaggerated, and blatantly impossible for someone his age, forcing him to prove otherwise.<ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
Were there games in medieval Japan that we know about? Right. One thing that the samurai ruler, especially the unifier, Toyotomi Hideyoshi liked, was the noh play. So there are theatres all over Japan.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 08">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 8: How To Fit In: Feudal Japan</ref>


Ezio was also capable of tolerating and suppressing his own pain to a point where they would not prevent him from engaging in head-to-head combat if really needed. In 1500, during the siege of Monteriggioni, even after being shot by multiple arquebusiers in the chest area and then falling from a building because of it, Ezio was still able to fight guards with ease later on and even climb the Auditore Crypt walls without exhausting himself the least bit.<ref name="ACB"/>
===[[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]===
What he succeeds in doing is very early on gaining control of a neighboring province and then he makes a very fortuitous alliance with the man who becomes Tokugawa Ieyasu. He doesn't yet have that name at this point in the 1550s but that's a great alliance. It allows Oda Nobunaga not to have to worry too much about the territory to one side of his own province and so he can look elsewhere for his focus [...]<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


Ezio was also exceptionally durable, brushing off direct cannonball hits that could easily destroy entire buildings in a single shot, twice in a row during the siege of Viana in a single shot and repeatedly surviving long falls from great heights which would generally be fatal even for the strongest of athletes. Ezio was also renowned for his strength and stamina, being able to fight with multiple heavily-armored enemies with his bare hands without showing any signs of fatigue<ref name="AC2"/><ref name="ACB"/><ref name="ACR"/>, as seen when he effortlessly took out guards all by himself during the siege of Monteriggioni despite being shot and falling off a building not moments before.<ref name="ACB"/>
unfortunately he dies when his son Hideyori is still too young to assume power and so you have this council of elders who are controlling things until Hideyori is old enough to rule by himself but unfortunately on that council of elders is one Tokugawa Ieyasu who while you know professing a certain amount of loyalty to Hideyori is plotting and scheming instead to take it all for himself and so he becomes our third major figure.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


By 1511, at age 52, due to him keeping himself rigorously active, Ezio had still retained his athletic and physical abilities as well as his skill in combat. His Eagle Vision had evolved into [[Eagle Vision#Eagle Sense|Eagle Sense]], enabling him to track enemies, determine targets, diagnose the injured, detect scent vapors of poisons, detect imminent threats more precisely and faster, as seen when he was about to be attacked by [[stalkers]], and find [[book shop|lost books]] around Constantinople. He acquired the hookblade from his fellow Master Assassin and close friend, Yusuf Tazim, and quickly mastered its utility in freerunning and combat.<ref name="ACR"/>
he stations some troops in Kyoto to keep the emperor under a watchful eye not necessarily because of what the emperor might do but what people might use the emperor for some of his western enemies you know as in in the western part of Japan might potentially take the emperor as a figurehead and launch a further action against him it's not as though after a great battle like that everyone on the losing side thinks fair enough you know you've got me I'll walk away and agree to this so he has that our establishment Kyoto his own power base is Edo this castle town that is now the great city of Tokyo so his shogunate is really run out of Edo that's where his advisors are his castle is his strong economy is and he manages to really build up Edo I think in short order the other thing he does which is really establishing this process of unification really establishing the new Japan is he does this enormous reshuffling of territory in Japan I think it's the biggest reshuffling of territory in terms of who controls what in Japan's history so lots of the people who are on the losing side at the battle of Sekigahara either lose everything or their territory is drastically cut down or they're shipped off to another part of the country entirely perhaps all these things that are designed to damage their power he also as part of that reshuffle takes over a system that Hideyoshi used to use called Sankin Kortai<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02"/>


He also made use of bomb-crafting after it had been introduced to him by Yusuf and Piri Reis. After discovering the ten memoir pages of [[Ishak Pasha]] scattered across Constantinople, Ezio explored the [[Hagia Sophia]] and recovered [[Armor of Ishak Pasha|his armor]].<ref name="ACR"/>
Tokugawa Ieyasu, he forbade Christianity totally. And all influence of the Jesuits was razed very systematically from then on.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


After he retired, due to no longer keeping rigorously active, Ezio's age finally caught up to him and his physique degraded significantly.<ref name="Embers" /> By 1524, Ezio's stamina and agility had decreased to the point where he could barely run across his own grape field, whereas before he could sprint for three-hundred meters uninterrupted. If not for neglecting his training, then Ezio's drastic physical deterioration was due to extreme old age and illness, though he retained his heightened sense of awareness, even at his death.<ref name="Embers"/>
So it kind of makes a name for Nobunaga. Another key thing about this battle, though, and the aftermath is that in the confusion of the Imagawa family with the loss of their head, several of their more talented and younger retainers, one of which we know today as Tokugawa Ieyasu, are able to claim independence. And Ieyasu establishes himself in his home territory of Mikawa, which is just to the east of Owari, and establishes an alliance with Nobunaga, thus providing a secure flank to Nobunaga's east, allowing Nobunaga to then look in other directions as he begins to expand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>


Even with his severe handicaps, Ezio was still able to overpower three Chinese swordsmen with only his fireplace poker. He was even able to use the poker as an improvised hookblade, using it to throw an attacker across the room before hurling it into his skull. However, Ezio was completely outmatched by the last enemy in terms of strength due to old age, and would have definitely been killed had the attacker not succumbed to the injuries inflicted by both Ezio and Shao Jun.<ref name="Embers"/>
The two sides meet in July of 1570 at the Battle of Anegawa, where Nobunaga was joined by his ally Tokugawa Ieyasu. And they fight this battle in the shallow Anagawa River, both sides plunging into the water to engage the enemy. So if you picture this dramatic battle in this shallow river, Tokugawa, on Nobunaga's right flank, managed to route the Asakura and then crash into the flank of the Asai while at the same time Nobunaga sent his reserves around the other flank. And it causes the collapse of the enemy to create victory.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


Ezio took quite a beating for a man his age during the assault on his Villa, and this may have contributed to his passing not long after Jun's departure, though it is more likely that his heart simply could not handle the amount of stress he had gone through.<ref name="Embers"/>
Many of them [Iga warriors] went to work for a retainer of Tokugawa Iyasu who has become famous in kind of ninja lore, man by the name of Hattori Hanzo. And Hattori Hanzo had family ties to Iga. He's often referred to or portrayed as in pop culture as a ninja, but he was a samurai retainer, a warrior just like many of the warriors that fought for any of the Daimyo of this period. He appears in most of Tokugawa Iyasu's battles until Hanzo dies in 1590s. He is considered one of Tokugawa Iyasu's closest retainers, but because through his family ties, he had a knowledge base of these sort of unconventional guerilla tactics. He also had through those ties, the ability to kind of act as a landing place for many of these men of Iga. And so many of them went to work for Tokugawa Ieyasu under the command of Hattori Hanzo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


===Romantic life===
==The Jesuits==
{{Quote|A minute is all I need! [...] Wait... that came out wrong.|Ezio to Cristina Vespucci, 1476.|Assassin's Creed II}}Ezio was known for his good looks, flirtatious nature and predisposition for womanizing.<ref name="AC2"/><ref name="Lineage"/><ref name="Renaissance"/> Though the latter part of his life was centered around his hunt for Rodrigo Borgia, Ezio shared multiple romantic relationships with a number of different women.<ref name="Renaissance"/>
===[[Francis Xavier]]===
Francis Xavier was a Jesuit and one of the founding members of the Jesuits. He was asked to travel to Asia to begin doing missionary work there. He was asked especially by King John III of Portugal because he was very keen on trying to get as many Asians adhering to the Christian religion. Xavier had quite a correspondence with King John about all what he did in Asia and it wasn't what he expected. In 1542 he came to India but he didn't get good results so he tried to go to Malacca but there also there was not much interest for his propagating of the faith. And there he met with a Japanese called Anjiro, probably his real name was Yajiro, and he told him about Japan and also some Portuguese merchants who had gone to Japan told him that that will be the country where you really are going to get a lot of people converted to Christianity. So he had a lot of expectations for Japan and in 1549 he finally set foot on Japan. So that was really the first time that the Jesuits arrived in Japan only six or seven years after the first Portuguese came there.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


By 1476, Ezio had had many encounters with various unnamed Florentine girls and courtesans before the execution of his family, insulting Vieri de' Pazzi by suggesting that [[Viola de' Pazzi|his sister]] seemed quite satisfied with the "handling" he had given her earlier.<ref name="AC2"/>
when Xavier came in Japan, he landed in Satsuma, Kagoshima, which is in the southern part of the Kyushu island, and you had a warlord there, Shimaze Takahisa, and he welcomed Xavier very much because he had a motive. If the Jesuits would come, he thought the Portuguese merchants would follow. So he treated Xavier very well and he gave him permission to preach the Gospel in his domains, but after a year, no Portuguese ship arrived, so then he prohibited Christianity and Xavier was compelled to go to another domain, which was the Hilado domain of Matsura Takanobu, and just at that time there was a Portuguese vessel there. And when the Portuguese saw the Jesuits, so Xavier and his companions, they greeted them with utmost respect. And Takanobu saw that, so he thought, okay, I have to treat them also with respect so that the Portuguese traders could come, because those Portuguese traders, they got a lot of products.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


[[File:Nightcap 4.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio and Cristina kissing in her room]]That year, Ezio was in a permanent relationship of sorts with Cristina Vespucci, though against the wishes of her father. Following his street brawl with Vieri de' Pazzi on the Ponte Vecchio, Ezio visited Cristina during the night, despite his brother's request otherwise. He was chased out by Cristina's father the next morning, and subsequently had to flee the city guards.<ref name="AC2"/>
And he thought that if he goes to the emperor in Kyoto, in the capital, that the emperor would give him permission to preach in whole of Japan, and that he would have a lot of success because he saw that the lot of a small domain, when he gave permission, he got the chance to convert a few people. If the upper lord of the country would give him permission, he thought he would be in a good position to convert a lot of Japanese. So he went to Kyoto, but that materialized not very well because Kyoto at the time was in the midst of warfare, so he didn't have the chance to meet with the emperor nor with the shogun.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Two years later, when Ezio returned to Florence, Cristina was engaged to Manfredo Soderini, though she admitted to still loving Ezio. Eight years later, when Cristina and Manfredo travelled to Venice for Carnevale, Ezio, posing as her husband, wrote to her asking her to come to meet him, to which Cristina complied. As both wore Carnevale masks, she did not recognize him until he kissed her.<ref name="ACB"/>
So afterwards, he went back from Kyoto. He got back to Hirado, where he put on very expensive clothes and then went again to the court of Ōuchi. And then he was received very well. He also gave a lot of presents, which he had brought from Portugal. And Ōuchi was very policed with that and gave permission for the Jesuits to preach their gospel in his domains.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


Cristina then removed his mask and asked Ezio how he dared kiss her like that, telling him she never wanted to see him again. When Ezio tried to stop her, she explained that if he really loved her, he would not simply have let Manfredo marry her.<ref name="ACB"/>
Xavier left in 1551, but soon there came more and more Jesuits.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


When Ezio returned to Florence again in 1497, he learned from a wounded Manfredo that he and Cristina had been attacked by Savonarola's men. Ezio tracked down Cristina and killed her assailants. As he proceeded to take Cristina to a doctor, she died in his arms, after telling him that she wished that they could have had a second chance together.<ref name="ACB"/> Ezio wrote years later that he felt something "withered" in him after her death.<ref name="ACR"/>
So and Francis Xavier, the Jesuit priest, showed up in Japan at that time. He showed up in a city called Yamaguchi. And his theory was, I will go to Kyoto. I will convert the emperor to Catholicism. And then everybody else in the whole country will follow him. And he got to Kyoto. It was a complete wreck. It was sort of a burnt out ruin. He couldn't find the emperor. So he gave up.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


[[File:Tutti a Bordo 5.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio helping Caterina onto the gondola]]
Before meeting with Cristina during Carnevale, and while trying to find a way to Venice, Ezio accompanied his friend, Leonardo da Vinci, to Forlì. He was initially refused passage aboard the ship to Venice, but his fortunes changed after encountering Caterina Sforza, who had become stranded on a small island with no means of escape.<ref name="AC2"/>


Ezio rescued her, and she repaid the favor by granting him passage to Venice. She also told him that the next time he returned to Forlì, it would "be her pleasure" to entertain him. Moments later, after Ezio revealed to his close friend that Caterina was a future conquest and his type of woman, Leonardo informed Ezio of the lady's identity and that she was married to the Count of the city.<ref name="AC2"/>
===[[Gaspar Vilela]]===
Gaspar Vilela is one who stands out. He was a very keen propagator of the Christian faith, and he could convert some warlords to Christianity. One of them was Omura Sumitada, who eventually would give a port to the Jesuits, which was called Nagasaki.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Also, at some point during his time in Forlì, Ezio encountered a girl named [[Amelia]]. During this encounter, Amelia and two of her friends were discussing whether anyone could beat their record in a horseback riding race. Ezio took on the challenge in return for a "private riding lesson" with Amelia should he prove successful, which he was.<ref name="AC2"/>
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>


[[File:MSMD 1.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio flirting with Rosa]]
===[[Alessandro Valignano]]===
When Ezio arrived in Venice for the first time, an unknown young woman attempted to pickpocket him. Later the same day, Ezio witnessed the woman and a group of thieves attempting to scale the Palazzo della Seta. The attempt ended in failure, and the girl was shot in the leg by an archer.<ref name="AC2"/>
And then you have, of course, Valignano, which was the visitor, as he was called, to the Orient. So he was the head of all the actions in the Orient, and he spent a lot of time in Japan, because Japan was the place where the Jesuits thought they would have the best results.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


Ezio intervened, defending her from Emilio Barbarigo's thugs. Upon helping her to get to safety, he learned that her name was Rosa, and that she was a member of the city's Thieves Guild. At first, Rosa's attitude towards Ezio was very aggressive and unfriendly, but after he saved her, she became much more amiable.<ref name="AC2"/>
He was the bodyguard of a Jesuit, the head Jesuit in Asia, essentially the head of the Christian church in Asia, a man called Alessandro Valignano. And Valignano was on a tour from Rome. He'd been sent by the Pope to tour the new missions in Asia and of course, Japan was the furthest of these missions.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


While trying to acquire the Golden Mask, Ezio was seen flirting with many of Sister Teodora's courtesans. After the Carnevale challenges, when Ezio went up to accept the Golden Mask as his prize for victory, he was accompanied by a courtesan. After assassinating Marco Barbarigo and seeking sanctuary in the brothel, Ezio flirted with Sister Teodora, who invited several of her girls to "comfort" Ezio.<ref name="AC2"/>
Valignano himself, the visitor, the chief inspector of churches, if you like, was a big proponent of learning any language. He started the concept of Asian studies. Asian language studies in Europe were started by him. He was the person who insisted that his missionaries study Chinese, Japanese, various Indian languages, so it's conceivable that Yasuke had already started to learn Japanese before he arrived.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


[[File:Vilified 1 v.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio and Caterina Sforza together in bed]]
===[[Francisco Cabral]]===
Since their first meeting in Forlì, Ezio's feelings for Caterina Sforza developed, and in January 1500, Ezio had an intimate encounter with her, sleeping with her in the Villa Auditore before it was besieged by Cesare Borgia and his army.<ref name="ACB"/>
And they also had a problem that after a while you have [Francisco] Cabral, you have [Gaspar] Coelho, so two Jesuits who became the head of the Japan sector. And they weren't very keen to adopt Japanese customs. They wanted to be as strictly Jesuits as in Europe. So they already have a problem from the Jesuit side and many like Vilela or Fróis were more inclined to adopt Japanese customs. But the heads of the provincials, as they call them, were against that.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>


After her capture, Ezio sank into a state of near depression, where his feelings for Caterina conflicted with his suspicion that she was merely using him. Despite this impression, Ezio was determined to rescue her from the Castel Sant'Angelo, disregarding the insistence of Niccolò that Cesare and Rodrigo Borgia should be the focus of his attention.<ref name="Brotherhood novel"/>
==Other==
===[[Mutsuhito]], Emperor Meiji===
And in 1868, the then emperor [Mutsuhito, Emperor Meiji] who was 14, I think, or 16, he was a teenager, marched or didn't march. He was carried by Palanquin, top with a Phoenix, up to Edo and into Edo castle, which became the imperial palace and Edo became Tokyo, which is the eastern capital. So therefore, Kyoto was no longer the capital at all. It was no longer the official capital.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>


During their escape, Caterina hesitantly explained to Ezio that the night they had shared had only been in the name of politics, as she had needed his help in defending Forlì. Ezio continued to hope that his feelings for Caterina were reciprocated, though she soon informed him otherwise. Despite his subsequent decision to no longer pursue Caterina's affections, the two remained close allies for the sake of the Brotherhood.<ref name="Brotherhood novel" />
===[[Akechi Mitsuhide]]===
he's just setting out in early part of 1582 for the next part of that campaign staying at a temple called Honnoji in Kyoto when he's attacked actually not by his enemies but by someone who is supposed to be on his side one of the famous treacherous figures I suppose in Japanese history man by the name of Akechi Mitsuhide who persuades his men to turn their guns on Oda Nobunaga and his own men and so you have these stories of Oda Nobunaga shouting out treachery or traitors or something like that trying to fight them off himself the temple ends up in flames and Oda Nobunaga retreats further into the temple and dies by his own hand.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 02">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 2: The Unification of Japan</ref>


[[File:ACRef_Lisa_&_Ezio.jpg|thumb|222x222px|Ezio and Lisa embraced]]
There's quite a lot of emphasis on how important this is. And this could be the masterstroke that basically secures Western Honshu for Nobunaga. So he's returned to Kyoto, and Nobunaga sends his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide with Akechi's army as the initial force to go reinforce Hideyoshi out west. And for reasons that are not quite clear, but of course, lead to lots of speculation and dramatic interpretation. Akechi decides that instead of turning west to go support Hideyoshi, he's going to turn his forces east, march into Kyoto, surround the residence of Nobunaga, which is the Honnō-ji Temple in central Kyoto. It's where he normally took up residence when he was in the city, and attack his own war.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref>
In 1504, Ezio met [[Lisa del Giocondo]], when the lady discovered him unconscious following an ambush by Borgia men and tended to his wound. Hiding in her father's barn for several days while he healed, the Assassin and the lady grew close. However, he left before anything could happen, respecting Lisa's faithfulness to her husband. Fifteen years later, Ezio remembered this day as one of the most bittersweet of his existence.<ref name="ACRef"/>


While on a ship arriving in Constantinople, Ezio briefly saw Sofia Sartor, who was traveling from Rhodes and returning to her bookstore. He attempted to talk to her, but she was too distracted to pay attention to him. Later, Ezio met Sofia again at her store while searching for the Masyaf Keys. The two worked out a bargain: if she helped Ezio track down the keys, he would retrieve and give her some of the books the Polos had hidden.<ref name="ACR"/>
We don't really know why we don't really get any full explanation of Akechi's motives. There's lots of speculation that it had to do with resentment at court treatment by Nobunaga. One thing that we do know is that Akechi's mother had been killed by a rival clan where Akechi had given them his mother as a hostage, as insurance essentially against an attack. And Nobunaga superseded that and ordered the attack anyway. So they killed Akechi's mother. Other things are rumors that he was physically abusive and verbally abusive to Mitsuhide personally.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


[[File:Homecoming 3.png|thumb|250px|Ezio with Sofia Sartor|left]]In an attempt to keep Sofia away from the Assassin and Templar fight, Ezio kept Sofia in the dark about the purpose of his search, and attempted to keep his relationship with her platonic. However, as time went on, Ezio grew to admire Sofia more, and would often linger at her shop to be with her. Sofia also came to adore Ezio as well, asking him to be her escort to Adrianople (which Ezio had to reluctantly decline due to his search). She also arranged a picnic for the two of them in a park near Hagia Sophia.<ref name="ACR"/>
But for whatever reason, Akechi decides that this is his moment while Nobunaga is lightly guarded. He's certainly not expecting anybody to attack him in Kyoto. They surround Nobunaga's residence, set out on fire. Nobunaga and his guards fight back, but are eventually overwhelmed. Nobunaga commits suicide. And then his heir as well, who was also in Kyoto, is attacked by Akechi's forces and dies. So in one stroke, the Akechi have eliminated, basically decapitated the Oda family and thus ended Nobunaga's career.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/>


When Ezio left Constantinople to assassinate Manuel Palaiologos, he asked Yusuf Tazim to keep Sofia safe. However, the Templar Ahmet, knowing of their relationship, dispatched a group of soldiers to kidnap her. While Yusuf managed to hold back many of the soldiers, he was eventually killed, and Sofia was captured.<ref name="ACR"/>
===[[Yasuke]]===
we know that he's from Africa, but we don't know for certain which parts of Africa, apart from that it would have been on the East Coast. The descriptions we have from Japanese descriptions are very much of somebody from what is now South Sudan, very tall, very black, very strong. Whereas there's a couple of sources which suggest he might have come from the Mozambique area. However, he doesn't fit the description very much of people from that region. There's also the full possibility that he could have been somehow trafficked from the South Sudan area down south and come through Mozambique as well.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 4: Yasuke: The First African Samurai</ref>


Upon learning this, Ezio flew into a rage and attacked the Arsenal in great force with the local Assassins. He eventually submitted to Ahmet's demands however, as he still held Sofia, and gave up the Masyaf Keys. However, after being rescued, Sofia helped Ezio chase after Ahmet and retrieve what had been taken.<ref name="ACR"/>
He arrived in May 1579 on a ship from Macau to get from Africa, whichever part of Africa it was to Macau and then to Japan. He'd already spent time in India. He'd spent time in Malacca in modern day Malaysia. And I think it was about six to nine months in Macau. He was the bodyguard of a Jesuit, the head Jesuit in Asia, essentially the head of the Christian church in Asia, a man called Alessandro Valignano. And Valignano was on a tour from Rome.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


Ezio and Sofia eventually travelled to Altaïr's library in May 1512.<ref name="ACR"/> Once Ezio decided to retire as an Assassin, the two left Masyaf and married each other, before the couple moved to a villa outside Florence, where they would eventually raise their son and daughter. In 1524, Ezio died of a heart attack, and his final words were in a letter addressed to Sofia, where he commented that the love he had for her and their children was what had kept him going in his old age.<ref name="Embers"/>
It's highly likely that he would have been Christian, at least on paper.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>


==Trivia==
In those days, he was considered a giant<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
'''''Assassin's Creed II'''''
*The names "Ezio" and "Altaïr" have similar meanings and origins. "Altaïr" means "the flying one", while "Ezio" means "eagle". "Altaïr" also comes from the name of the brightest star in the constellation {{Wiki|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}}, which also translates to "eagle".
*According to Italian naming customs ''Ezio'' is a ''nome'', a personal name, and ''Auditore'' is a ''cognome'', a surname. ''Auditore'' means "a hearer, or listener" and is a surname derived from a professional title that usually belonged to judges. ''Da Firenze'' simply means "of/from Florence", identifying the place of his birth.
*According to the game manual, Ezio is 6' 0" (1.83 m) tall and weighs 165 lbs (75 kg).
*Ezio's Animus database only details his life before he became an Assassin, holding no information on his life within the Order, unlike his later ones in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|Revelations]]''.
*Throughout Italy, Ezio will only remove his hood during cutscenes if he was wearing his father's Assassin robes.
*If players choose to play Sequence 13 before Sequence 12, by clearing the DLC cache, Ezio's beard will disappear until he kills Checco Orsi. This is impossible to do so in the PC version however, as they are incorporated into the main storyline.
*In a very rare glitch, after completing the blending mission for Paola, Ezio's hood may appear down when it is supposed to be up. This shows that the character model for Ezio is the same as Desmond.
*While wearing the [[Assassin's Creed II outfits|Florentine Noble Attire]], Ezio had the same movement animations as Desmond, before switching to animations similar to Altaïr's after acquiring his father's robes.
*In ''Assassin's Creed II'', during the brawl against Vieri de' Pazzi, Ezio receives a deep gash on his lip from a thrown rock. However, in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance|Renaissance]]'', the wound is situated on his forehead instead.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Renaissance'', it is stated that Ezio was grey-eyed. Despite that, in ''Assassin's Creed II'', ''Brotherhood'', ''Revelations'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers|Embers]]'', Ezio is depicted with amber-colored eyes.


'''''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'''''
Yasuke is recorded two years afterwards as having quite a good level of Japanese. [...] He [Valignano] was the person who insisted that his missionaries study Chinese, Japanese, various Indian languages, so it's conceivable that Yasuke had already started to learn Japanese before he arrived.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
*In his biography, Ezio's title was misspelled, listing him as "Ezio Auditore ''de'' Firenze" instead of "Ezio Auditore ''da'' Firenze".


'''''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'''''
Another one, when getting to Miyako, which is now Kyoto, a huge mob literally surrounded the mission and almost pushed the mission down, throwing stones. There were dead people in the crowd outside. And at that point, Nobunaga, who was the most powerful warlord in Japan at the time, was five minutes walk away. He heard this huge hullaballo, which he liked. He heard what was going on. And he demanded to see who was disturbing the peace, demanded that this person be brought before him.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
*Although Ezio received the brand on his left hand's ring finger when he was inducted into the Order, it was never shown in ''Brotherhood'' or any media since.
*It was revealed that Ezio could speak some French, as there were "''a couple of French girls in Firenze''".
**During his infiltration of the Baron de Valois' camp, Ezio was demanded by a guard (due to his peculiar French accent) as to what part of France he was from. He replied with "Montréal", which is a reference to [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montreal]], the company mainly responsible for the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]].
*In promotional art for ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', Ezio is shown with two identical bracers for his Hidden Blades. However, it is not possible in Rome to obtain a bracer for Ezio's right arm that matches the first one.
**As well as this, Ezio is shown with only the left Plate Armor pauldron, while the other was missing. However, it is not possible to manage Ezio's pauldrons in such a way.
*In the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' novel]], Ezio loses all his Codex inventions (the Hidden Gun, the Poison Blade, and the second Hidden Blade) during the Villa attack. In the game, Ezio only loses the Armor of Altaïr, the [[Metal Cestus]] and the second Hidden Blade, though he still says to Leonardo that he had lost all of the inventions.
*Ezio's storyline, emphasizing his loneliness, was inspired by George Clooney's character in the film ''{{Wiki|Up in the Air (2009 film)|Up in the Air}}''.<ref>[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/275862/blog/assassins-creed-brotherhood-what-does-ezio-have-in-common-with-george-clooney/ CVG: ''Assassin's Creed Brotherhood'': What does Ezio have in common with George Clooney?]</ref>


'''''Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade'''''
Somehow within a few days, Yasuke has entered Nobunaga's service. Within a month, he's gone to Nobunaga's castle town. There's another Jesuit record from there. And there's a Japanese record from there as well that says how much Nobunaga enjoyed talking to him, that he gave him a house, that he gave him a sword. And that's where the idea that he became a samurai comes into it.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
*Ezio is briefly mentioned in the novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''. At the beginning of the book, he is stated to be standing on the deck of the ship to Constantinople, before returning to his quarters to read Niccolò Polo's journal, ''"La crociata segreta"''.


'''''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'''''
There's another record of their first audience where Nobunaga gifts him what is essentially 30 kilos of coins. And you can imagine that as a kind of joke as well. Give the strong man 30 kilos worth of money and see if he can actually carry it. It doesn't say whether he carried it away on his own or not, but that was a lot of money.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
*Ezio does not wear a cape on his left shoulder as he did in previous installments, though he did have one prior to being captured by the Templars at Masyaf. He also wears a full-length cloak when while in Cappadocia.
**A cape does show when he wore the Armor of Brutus outfit, however, and it retains the usual animations from the previous games.
*''Revelations'' is the only installment in which Ezio wears an outfit where the default appearance of his robes was not white.
*Ezio's second Hidden Blade, which was broken, could still be seen if he triggers them in the loading screen of the Animus.
*Ezio sometimes used Turkish terms when speaking to citizens, contacts and his apprentices.
**It was noted that Ezio's knowledge of the Turkish language was somewhat lacking, commenting that it was "absurd", and that his Greek was "nonexistent", though this was most likely a joke on his part, as most of the songs were intended to be taken humorously.
*It was revealed that Ezio had some experience in playing the lute when he was younger, as he said that he "learned a few chords".
**When singing at the party, Ezio spoke of several notable people from his past, including Rodrigo, Cesare, and Lucrezia Borgia, Vieri and Francesco de' Pazzi, Duccio, and Caterina Sforza.
*Even if Ezio dyes his robes a different color and upgraded his armor, the robes would return to the original grey and were shown without any upgrades during the cutscenes that showed him writing letters to Claudia.
*Upon their first meeting, Piri Reis incorrectly assumed that Ezio's name was Lothario; a lothario has come to mean a man whose main interest is seducing women. The colloquialism was fitting to Ezio's personality during his younger days, when he would often flirt with the women he met during his travels.
*Ezio was noticeably less likely to regain balance and continue running after tumbling to the ground, most likely due to his age, although this is easily countered by repeatedly pressing the Fast Walk button upon tumbling down.


'''''Assassin's Creed III'''''
So Yasuke was there at Nobunaga's death. He possibly was the last person to see him alive. Nobunaga was killed in a coup d'etat, essentially. He was heading to the front with this small corps of men over which Yasuke was one, around 30 people. And one of his generals, basically, we still don't know to this day why, he brought his whole army of 13,000 and attacked. They were all gunned down, essentially. Nobunaga, with Yasuke and his lover, [Mori] Ranmaru, come into the middle of the temple where their last moments are held. The temple's on fire around them. And Nobunaga really is going to know what happened in that room because there's only three people and they all died, except for Yasuke. But we only know that Yasuke survived because the Jesuits recorded as such. We don't know what he saw, unfortunately. The normal legend goes Nobunaga cut his belly, Ranmaru took his head off as his second, and then one supposes that Ranmaru then cut his belly and Yasuke took off Ranmaru's head. And the supposed last order is Yasuke save my head. Yasuke runs with the head to Nobunaga's son, who is probably about five to ten minutes walk away, very close, in a different temple. So about to be attacked. Also just putting up the defenses for a last ditch stand. Of course, that doesn't last very long. He's dead within the hour or so. And all we know from the Jesuit source, there are no more Japanese sources, all we know from the Jesuit source is that Yasuke was there at the last. He was one of the few survivors. He was taken prisoner. He surrendered his sword. And he was then escorted to the Jesuit mission, which was again only five minutes walk away. This is a very small area of Kyoto where all this happens. The Jesuits give thanks to God for his deliverance.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 04"/>
*[[Ezio Auditore's robes|Ezio's robes]] are available to purchase through Uplay for ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' for 30 Uplay points. The robes are his [[Assassin's Creed III outfits|Roman ones]]. However, the underside of the cape and the interior of the hood are white instead of the red that appears in the game. The robe also includes a leather shoulder spaulder and one Hidden Blade bracer, despite the fact that [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] was able to wield two blades.
*[[Achilles Davenport]] mentioned Ezio during a conversation with Connor about the history of the Assassins.
*In the visions shown to Desmond by [[Juno]] in the Grand Temple, in which Ezio spoke to Minerva, Juno showed Ezio wearing his Roman robes, despite the fact he wore the Armor of Altaïr at the time. A similar error appears in the opening cinematic, in which Ezio is displayed wearing his Pilgrimage robes while talking to Minerva.


'''''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China'''''
===[[Hattori Hanzō]]===
*Roger Craig Smith did not reprise the role of Ezio for ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]'', to the disappointment of some fans. In response, Loomer, a member of the online Assassin's Creed community, contacted Smith and collaborated with him to make a short fanmade video titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAoEWB547KU&ab_channel=Loomer The Training of Shao Jun]."
Many of them [Iga warriors] went to work for a retainer of Tokugawa Iyasu who has become famous in kind of ninja lore, man by the name of Hattori Hanzo. And Hattori Hanzo had family ties to Iga. He's often referred to or portrayed as in pop culture as a ninja, but he was a samurai retainer, a warrior just like many of the warriors that fought for any of the Daimyo of this period. He appears in most of Tokugawa Iyasu's battles until Hanzo dies in 1590s. He is considered one of Tokugawa Iyasu's closest retainers, but because through his family ties, he had a knowledge base of these sort of unconventional guerilla tactics. He also had through those ties, the ability to kind of act as a landing place for many of these men of Iga. And so many of them went to work for Tokugawa Ieyasu under the command of Hattori Hanzo.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 6: The Tensho Iga War</ref>


'''''Soulcalibur V'''''
There's actually a gate of what is now the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, but underneath the Tokugawa Shoguns was the Shogun's Palace. One of the gates is named the Hanzo Mon, the Gate of Hanzo, the Hanzo Gate. And this is because Hattori Hanzo and the men of Iga that he recruited acted as a special guard force for the Tokugawa Shoguns.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 06"/>
*Ezio appears in the fighting game ''[[Wikipedia:Soul Calibur V|Soulcalibur V]]'' as a guest fighter. He wears his Roman robes, and uses all weapon types at his disposal in said game. His alternate costume is a minor color alteration of his robes (from red and white to yellow and grey), and he cannot be further customized.
*In his ''Soulcalibur V'' appearance, Ezio is seen wearing identical Hidden Blade bracers, similar to pre-release images of ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
*Interestingly, Ezio has a Roman Longsword and a [[Stiletto]] dagger instead of his more powerful weapons. Also unlike other characters, Ezio has only one set of weapons, and they are exclusive to him.
*Ezio's ''Soulcalibur V'' character art is taken from a promotional picture for ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', which features Ezio attacking Cesare Borgia.
*His profile image is likewise taken from his stance on the cover of ''Assassin's Creed II''.
*Ezio shares his voice actor, [[Roger Craig Smith]], with one of the series' main characters, [[Wikipedia:Siegfried Schtauffen|Siegfried Schtauffen]].
*Ezio's story in the ''Soulcalibur'' world states that he intercepted a Templar raid on Queen Isabella's boat, and after touching an unknown artifact, jumped through time to a period near to the end of the 16th century.


'''Others'''
{{Reflist}}
*[[Darby McDevitt]], Lead Writer of ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'', said that it was probable that Ezio had fathered children outside of his marriage to Sofia. Indeed, one unidentified child's bloodline would eventually lead to Clay Kaczmarek.
*Ezio's ''Assassin's Creed II'' outfit can be unlocked in ''{{Wiki|Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands}}'' via Uplay for 30 points.
*A Sackboy version of Ezio's outfit from ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' can be purchased for ''LittleBigPlanet'' via the PlayStation Store.
*In PlayStation Home, Ezio's Assassin robes from ''Assassin's Creed II'' are an outfit that could be bought.
*Ezio was featured in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdWkKKSckNk&feature=youtube_gdata_player ''"Michael"'' live action commercial], part of the ''Long Live Play'' advertisement of Sony. There, he gave tribute to the gamer Michael for playing his part when "the Templars murdered his family", then chanted Michael's name in unison with the rest of the characters.
*So far, Neca has manufactured highly detailed figures of Ezio. The White Edition includes Ezio in his default robes with two Hidden Blades, though only the right arm one is removable. The Black Edition includes Ezio with a single Hidden Blade, along with his robes dyed in the Wetlands Ebony fashion and wearing the Missaglias armor. Later, they fashioned a figure that resembles Ezio in his default robes in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', though it is never included in any game version, and can only be bought separately.
**Hot Toys has also made a 1/6 figure of Ezio in his primary robes from ''Assassin's Creed II'' with real cloth and multiple points of articulation. This figure features removable dual Hidden Blades, the [[Sword of Altaïr]], a [[Notched Cinquedea]], six throwing knives, a removable hood, a removable ponytail and four extra hands.
***The throwing knives, however, are not eagle-themed like in the game, and the Notched Cinquedea uses a seperate sheath.
**Square Enix's Play Arts Kai department has also made an Ezio figure, albeit in the Misaglias Armor and the Bonus Dye skin. Although not featuring real cloth, the cinquedea, the removable throwing knives or the removable hood, the Sword of Altaïr is much more durable than the Hot Toys version, the throwing knives are game accurate and the Notched Cinquedea can be sheathed alongside the Sword of Altaïr. This version also features removable dual Hidden Blades and interchangable hands.
*On the Xbox 360, it is possible to purchase Ezio's Robes from ''Assassin's Creed II'', ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', and ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' as avatar outfits, costing 400 Microsoft points each.
*It has been confirmed by writer Darby McDevitt that Ezio and Altaïr were not related, but came from two different sides of Desmond's family.
*Ezio Auditore was [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLm6baXBtaY featured] in the Spike Video Game Awards of 2010 as part of his nomination for Character of the Year. When he was mentioned among the nominees, he addressed the crowd about his nomination, and how they should be cautious about the Templars.
**[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acFt1lQ7Kqs Another vignette] was made in case he won, and was shown during the end credits of the show due to another winner being declared. Holding the Spike trophy, Ezio was named ''Best Dressed Assassin.'' Ezio then thanked the crowd and his associates during his time in Rome, and dedicated the award to Mario Auditore.
*Ezio appeared in a short TV advertisement for ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'', along with athletes {{Wiki|Adrian Peterson}}, {{Wiki|BJ Penn}}, and {{Wiki|Derrick Rose}}, from the NFL, UFC, and NBA respectively. Ezio was shown last, putting on his hood. During Ezio's interval, it stated that he had done 90,793 hits.
*Ezio's ''Revelations'' outfit appears as a DLC outfit for Noel Kreiss in ''{{Wiki|Final Fantasy XIII-2}}''.
*Most of Ezio's romantic relationships were with women who served as model for painters: Cristina Vespucci for Sandro Botticelli, Caterina Sforza for Lorenzo di Credi in ''La dama dei gelsomini'', Lisa del Giocondo for Leonardo Da Vinci and Sofia Sartor for Albrecht Dürer.

Animus memory notes[edit | edit source]

Always at the end of the current memory

  • Firm in her belief and confident that she can put an end to the machinations of her enemies, Aveline disobeys Agaté and boards a slave ship bound to an unknown location. This decision further strays their relationship.
  • With de Ferrer dead and the slave colony free, Aveline travels back to New Orleans. Upon her return, she finds a world very different than the one she had left. Yet, the identity of the Company Man remains a mystery.

[@#]Deciphering clues left behind by her long lost mother lead Aveline to a cenote's entrance where her treasure hunt begins. [@#]After discovering a plot to force her mentor out of hiding, Aveline journeys to the bayou, determined to win back Agaté's trust and refusing to give up on the Brotherhood. [@#]The documents found aboard the Spanish ship contained orders to travel to Chichen Itza and reclaim the worksite. Fearing for her mother's safety – and perhaps hoping to find the second half of the Prophecy Disk – Aveline returns to Chichen Itza. [@#]Having secured the second part of the Prophecy Disk, Aveline travels back to New Orleans to continue her search for Vázquez, the man she believes is the Company Man. [@#]Despite her father's ill health, Aveline continues her search for the man called Vázquez. [@#]George Davidson gave just enough clues as to the identity of the Company Man. It is with a heavy heart that Aveline returns home. [@#]Following a confrontation with the Company Man, Madeleine de L'Isle – her beloved stepmother – Aveline finds herself confused and alone. She journeys to the bayou to seek Agaté's counsel, and test her own faith in the Brotherhood. [@#]Agaté's failure as an Assassin and his lack of trust in Aveline leaves her completely adrift. She returns to Madeleine, ready to embrace her stepmother’s cause.

It will bring peace and harmony to earth.

Dear Mr. Morgan:

A serious matter has come to my attention. Nikola Tesla plans to use PE4 to create an information network across the entire world. And if that weren't bad enough, he intends to allow access to it for free! Imagine the masses spreading knowledge amongst themselves instantaneously. That would make everything we intend to do much more difficult.

You must cut all funds for his experimetns at once! In case you get cold feet, I'll have you know he wants to make electricity free as well, thereby putting us out of business.

I've already begun slandering Tesla in the press. Just reallocate his funding, and I'll take care of PE4 myself.

Sincerely yours,


Edison, creator of DC electricity, accuses Tesla's AC current of electrocution! J.P. Morgan revokes funding for Tesla's Wardenclyfe Project! Edison creates "electric chair" to prove danger of AC current! [Image of world with 14 lit lightbulbs] [Destroy them]

Dear Mr. Edison,

I wanted to thank you for letting me make use of PE4 all these years. Among several things, I was able to convince the workers I was raising their pay to $5 a day, when, in fact, I gave them a pay cut. But, I had to let PE4 go. As per instructions, I've shipped it to Europe.

H. has it, so I assume the war will begin as soon as he can take over. We'll let him have his fun (Lord knows, that kind of purge will be good for Europe) and then end it with a bang, as planned. Out of the chaos of war a new order will emerge! I've enclosed a picture from Florida of you, me and Firestone. We should attempt to spend more time on the golf course this summer.

Yours,

SUBJECT: Test Authorization

There comes a time in the life of every experiment when we must test our results outside, in the world. I do not relish a successful outcome, but one is essential if we are to begin the foundations of a new world order.

Global security and prosperity depend on a steady hand guiding the populace, a hand that will not falter under the weight of conscience. Give O. the authorization.

I believe that history will vindicate us in the end.

Nikola,

We know what they have done to your lab, to your career. It may be too late to set things right, but you can help prevent something far worse. They have taken an object from the Czar, and are conducting experiments in Tunguska to figure out how to use it. Before they do, we must take it from them, or the world will be in danger. We do not ask you to risk your life, just that, when the time comes, you use your electricity to destroy the object.

Regardless of your decision, know that we admire your work greatly and will bear you no ill will.

We respect your freedom above all else.

ISSUE 1, JANUARY, 2012

The scientific community is abuzz as the results of a new neurological study were made public today. What seemed to be big news in itself -- that Dr. Yijie Wu and Dr. P. J. Traunero had discovered a new neurotransmitter -- turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg.

To quote Dr. Wu, "Using a prototype dMRI machine, we've been able to examine the contents of an actual neuron in living tissue. We've found a substance that appears to be an undiscovered neurotransmitter."

"(Here's) where it gets crazy. To test our findings, we subjected the neuron to all kinds of stimuli, but we couldn't get it to release the transmitter. So, we've discovered an entire mechanism: there are vesicles filled with neurotransmitter lying dormant and corresponding ion channels, all for no discernable purpose."

Expressing bafflement that natural selection would create an unnecessary neurotransmitter, Wu and Traunero searched for a predecessor in other species, with no luck.

"Whatever this bugger is used for, it evolved in humans," Traunero told the press.

Fellows, rulers, welcome.

I deliver this speech to you as, several floors below us, a silent revolution begins.

Ranny Olds and Henry Ford. As many of you know, these founders gave us the assembly line, the device we have used to control both (those indoctrinated into the worship of our money (?)) capitalists and workers (slaves (?)) alike. But I dream of a future in which such ugly chains will no longer be necessary. In 1910, our founders designed the Plan, it falls to us to see it through.

But, what of the Communists, who intend to spread the bread so thin that everyone will starve? It is our duty to (neutralize (?)) save them and their followers. We must ensure that they continue to eat, to reproduce, to be productive members of society. That is our burden, to shepherd those beneath us through life, and we must embrace it, even if (force is required (?)) they themselves do not.

H. and S. brought on the turmoil and fear necessary, now we must strike fast to ensure development continues in the proper directin. We will appear to concede ground to the workers, remember the successful ruse of Rockefeller's dimes, but soon there will be no ground we do not own.

In 1937, we founded this Company, this enterprise, with a purpose. The time to nurture it to fruition is upon us.


As a concession, a small piece is sacrificed for the greater good to come. [White pawn F4 takes black pawn at E5]

SUBJECT: South America

If we are to ensure the Company's success, Company agents must be able to move freely from country to country and maintain power within all of them. A global internatinal order must be implemented.

Re: Argentina

Tell the Capitalists that if they help ensure the Junta remain in power, we will pass all their corporate debt on to the Argentine people. That will ensure they crush any popular revolt. I want the trade unions destroyed if we are to move forward.

Re: Chile

The free market must be allowed to prevail. F's visit last year helped things along, but now all public companies need to be sold to the private sector, ideally on the cheap. The price of bread and other staples must rise. I want to ensure the people remain marred in poverty an unable to resist.

Any traces of this plan should appear to implicate the U.S. government. The Company's involvement must remain hidden.

For successful examples of a similar opening of the markets, look no further than the 1953 liberation of Iran and the 1954 liberation of Guatemala.

Mr. Yeltsin,

I am writing this letter to encourage you to act. One rarely finds oneself in such an oppertune position. Gorbachev does not have our interests at heart. He is moving far too slowly to privatize, and my deep fear is that he has no intention of doing so at all. I understand that you have expressed similar concerns. With that in mind, here is a proposal to remedy the situation.

Several of my top advisors at the Company maintain a monetary connection with the Communist old guard. They tell me that a riot might easily be incited while Gorbachev is away. If you were to repel an attempt to seize parliament in front of the media, it could very well tip the scales of power in your favor.

Telephone me at No. 10 and we shall talk further.

RE: Privatization

S.

I have convinced Sandra to join the majority opinion. The enticement of retirement under a Republican president tipped the scales. Although the ruling will differ from our previous decisions on Equal Protection, it will not call attention to our actual goals. With Sandra gone, we can pave the way for the key majority member of the Order to be seated. As discussed, W. will prove the perfect distraction. I have no doubt he will restart animosities with Iraq. Let him, it will give C.'s contractors more work. When the time comes, I will make sure W. is given Roberts' name.

With Roberts on the court, it will only be a matter of waiting for the right case. After the destruction of Campaign Finance laws, the Company will be free to elect anyone they choose to the Senate, the House and, eventually, the Presidency.

Soon, our hopes will be realized. Government will no longer derive its authority from the people, but from us, their protectors.

Dear S.,

Research has progressed far more rapidly than expected. We already have a working prototype capable of mimicking P.O.E. capabilities across a network, albeit at far lower intensity. Testing will commence locally on Subject 4 between his Animus sessions, as per our plan. If all goes well, deployment will occur worldwide.

Your dream is about to become a reality. Soon, capitalists and workers will be locked in a closed loop that is safe and prosperous for humanity. No more war, only desks, cars and TV sets. We will protect them and keep them safe, forever.

Abnormal Brain Activity Discovered in Children, Aged 3 Months to 18-Years-Old and Adults, Aged 19-30.

Abstract

Several recent studies conducted by internal marketing teams revealed that: "Entertainment sales are dropping, protests are mounting. The economy is in turmoil. All market research indicates that the system should be stabilizing, but, instead, we're seeing the opposite."(1) In response, our team set out to discover the cause of the declining efficacy of Abstergo's control methods.

Past studies of bilateral brain activation during television, film and video game use have shown the characteristic ARAS patterns induced by Abstergo's signal patterns. Our study was conducted on a range of test subjects (30 subjects, aged +-10 to +-30), who viewed TV programs while resting-state fMRI scans were conducted.

In contrast to previous studies, 80% of test subjects showed heightened cortical brain activity. Detailed scans using our prototype dMRI machine revealed an increased rate of neuronal development (+- 30% over that of older age groups). Such a marked increase does not fit Darwinian models. Further studies are required to define the ultimate outcome of this abnormal evolution.

  • Man: If you are playing this tape, it means I have left this world, and I have left this grand enterprise, Abstergo Industries, our great hope for humanity, to you. Don't trust the advisors around you. They are too enamoured with surface, with lifestyle. We created capitalism, but we are not capitalists. Our purpose is noble. The crude system of control we enact through money is merely a bandage on a wound we have devoted our lives to treating. The people of this world are confused, lost, frightened and incapable of independent productivity. Without us, they'd just be animals, slaves to the Others, who did not deserve such responsibility. We saved them, remember that. But enough about the past. I must warn you of the great crisis to come. Although those around you deny it, soon we will be unable to manufacture new markets. The people will become immune to our economists and entertainment. When the free market dies, they will turn against us. Therefore, do not delay. By now you have been shown what only the Grand Masters of our Order have seen. Now you know why Abstergo, why all of it had to be. And now you know what you must do. Stay the course.
