Fashioned by the Helmschmied Armory in 1489, only a few sets were completed due to the weight of the metal. As opposed to its name, the Helmschmied Drachen Armor is merely a cosmetic [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Outfits|outfit]] for Ezio, and as such, does not function as an actual set of armor, nor does it affect gameplay.
Across the torso, the armor was made up of stylized metal plates. The upper right armguard extended higher than the shoulder, though the left one was set lower to make room for a cape. The matching bracers of the armor were worn in conjunction with leather gloves on each hand.

The Helmschmied Drachen Armor

The Helmschmied Drachen Armor was a rare set of heavy armor crafted by the Helmschmied Armory in 1489. One such set was worn by the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze during his time in Rome.[1] Another one was worn by Ezio's fellow Italian Assassin, Girolamo da Lucca.[2]

The robes Ezio wore under the armor appeared similar to those of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, though they possessed a leather texture, rather than cloth. On the waist, the Assassin insignia was flanked by rows of throwing knife sheaths.

Across the torso, the armor was made up of stylized metal plates. The upper right armguard extended higher than the shoulder, though the left one was set lower to make room for a cape. The matching bracers of the armor were worn in conjunction with leather gloves on each hand.
