'''Tiber Island''' (Italian: ''Isola Tiberina'') is an island located on the [[Tiber River]], in central [[Rome]]. During the early 16<sup>th</sup> Century, the island served as the headquarters of the [[Assassins|Order of Assassins]] in Rome, and as a base of operations for [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s war against the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]]. While Ezio went out to undermine the Borgia's rule over Rome, [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] stayed on the island, training new [[Apprentices|Assassin recruits]] sent to him by Ezio. On the in-game [[Maps|map]], Tiber Island is marked by a white [[Assassin insignia]] on a black background.

Function-wise, it is similar to the [[Villa Auditore]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', with a few additional features. Its rooms include an [[Armory]] that displays [[armor]] sets and [[weapons]], a [[Painting gallery]] that showcases purchased paintings and the portraits of fallen targets, and a ceremonial hall that is used to induct the Assassin recruits into the Order, and grant them the rank of ''Assassino''. A [[View Point]] on the roof is used for the initiation [[Leap of Faith]] performed by the recruits.

*In the [[Animus]] [[Maps|mini-map]], the Tiber Island hideout was marked by a white [[Assassin insignia]] on a black background.
The appropriate guild's crest will appear on the wall near the fireplace upon completion of any of the five [[Guild Challenges]], and are labeled to have been awarded to Ezio in tribute to his skill.

*There were no [[guards]] on the island.
Any recruits of the Order can often be seen milling around or speaking to each other in the rooms of the guild when not out on missions.

*Tiber Island was historically a place of healing, and home to a Temple of [[Asklepios|Aesclepius]] in pre-[[Christianity|Christian]] times. This may be a metaphor for the Italian Assassins "healing" Rome.


Interestingly, all the plain red banners around the hideout are in good condition, but the banners that show the Assassin insignia appear to be tattered and torn. We can assume that these banners have been handed down through the ages and move as often as the Assassins move to keep their whereabouts a secret. Similar banners are seen at the Villa Auditore.

*Oddly enough, the hideout does not have any bedrooms. There are no extra rooms or closed doors that indicate a possible place to sleep, unlike the villa. However, some small apartments may exist along the stairway leading to the top of the building.

Machiavelli and Ezio on one of Tiber Island's bridges

Tiber Island, or Isola Tiberina, is an island located on the Tiber river, in central Rome. During the early 16th century, the island served as the headquarters for the Assassin Order in Rome, and as a base of operations for Ezio Auditore's war against the Borgia.[1]

While Ezio went out to undermine the Borgia's rule over Rome, Niccolò Machiavelli stayed on the island, training new Assassin recruits sent to him by Ezio. The island itself also featured a bank, a pigeon coop, and four shops: a blacksmith, art merchant, doctor, and a tailor.
