'''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.

;General
<tabber>
|-|Intro=
;Welcome to Boston
250 years ago, Boston stood at the heart of the Revolution that led to the beginning of a nation.<br>Travel back in time and relive the key events of the American Revolution.


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.
Welcome to Echoes of Revolution: Boston


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.

==Biography==
|-|Credits=
===Before his birth===
Created by Sugar Creative in partnership with Revolutionary Spaces and Ubisoft
After the [[Cult of Kosmos]] had been defeated by the [[Sparta]]n ''[[Mercenary|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]] during the [[Peloponnesian War]], she saw a vision of Ezio and all the Assassins that would follow her legacy in fighting against chaos. This premonition alluded to the [[Assassin-Templar War|war]] that would continue for centuries afterwards between the [[Assassins]] and the [[Templars]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[A Fresh Start]]</ref>

The creation of Echoes of Revolution: Boston has been generously supported and sponsored by Boston250<br>With special thanks to Alex Meadow, Ellen Garrity Foord & Megan Le
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. Giovanni remarked on the boy's "fine set of lungs" before proudly raising him in the air, naming him Ezio Auditore da Firenze.<ref name="AC2"/>


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'' – [[Database: Palazzo Auditore]]</ref>

====Courting Cristina====
;Villa Albertine
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]]'' – [[A Second Chance]]</ref>
The release of Echoes of Revolution: NYC has been supported by Villa Albertine


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]]. After trading some barbs, Vieri threw a stone at Ezio, leaving a scar across his lip that would remain for the rest of his life.<ref name="Boys Will Be Boys">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Boys Will Be Boys]]</ref>


Ezio pummelled several members of the opposing gang, but Vieri fled the scene before Ezio could do anything to him. As Ezio prepared to give chase, Federico noticed the scar on his lip and advised him to visit a doctor. After [[Pickpocketing|looting]] several of Vieri's unconscious followers, the two brothers ran across the rooftops to find the doctor.<ref name="Boys Will Be Boys"/>

As the [[doctor]] tended to his wound, a nearby church caught the eye of the brothers, and Federico suggested a race.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[You Should See the Other Guy]]</ref> Ezio won and together the two climbed a nearby tower and looked out over the city, expressing gratitude for the lives they live.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Sibling Rivalry]]</ref> Soon after, Ezio noticed that Cristina Vespucci's window was open and decided to pay her a visit despite Federico's disapproval. Ezio made his way to the [[Casa di Vespucci|home]] of Cristina Vespucci and spent the night with her.<ref name="Nightcap">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Nightcap]]</ref>

He was discovered by Cristina's father the morning after, forcing Ezio to flee from a group of pursuing [[guard]]s before meeting his father at the [[Palazzo Auditore]].<ref name="Nightcap"/> Giovanni scolded him for spending the night at Christina's and for his fight with Vieri but admitted moments later that his son's actions reminded him of his own youth. He then asked Ezio to deliver a letter to [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] although Lorenzo was not there to receive it. The letter's contents discussed the recent murder of Duke [[Galeazzo Maria Sforza]] of [[Milan]], expressing his belief that [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] was involved.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Paperboy]]</ref>

====The fateful day====
;Welsh Government
On 28 December 1476, Petruccio asked Ezio if he could collect [[eagle]] [[feather]]s from the rooftops while promising that he would return to bed afterwards as he was ill. After a tiring search for feathers, Ezio gave them to his younger brother, though Petruccio was secretive about their purpose. Unbeknownst to them, this would be the last moment they shared together.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Petruccio's Secret]]</ref>

Later, Ezio found his sister in a distraught state, having discovered that her boyfriend, [[Duccio de Luca]], was cheating on her. After obtaining his whereabouts, Ezio confronted and beat Duccio before warning him to stay away from his sister.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Beat a Cheat]]</ref>


Returning to the Auditore villa once more, Ezio's mother asked him to help her pick up some paintings from a young artist she patronized, [[Leonardo da Vinci]]. On the walk home, Leonardo struck up a conversation, beginning a friendship between the two young men that would endure for the rest of their lives.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Friend of the Family]]</ref>
;People of the Revolution
<tabber>
|-|John Adams=
John Adams was a foundational figure of the American Revolution. A Harvard-educated lawyer from Massachusetts, Adams rose to prominence by opposing the 1765 Stamp Act, serving as a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and working to build the newly formed American navy.


[[File:Heirloom 2 v.png|thumb|250px|Ezio uncovering his father's equipment]]
While sympathetic to the patriot cause, his belief in the rule of law led him to successfully defend British soldiers involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. In Congress, he was instrumental in persuading delegates to declare independence, nominating George Washington as commander of the Continental Army, and playing a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Later, he was central in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. Adams later authored the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, influencing the future U.S. Constitution. He served as the first vice president under Washington and as the second president of the United States.
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'' – [[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]]. Ezio decided to pay them a visit, but was told to avoid the guards, as they had a warrant for his arrest as well.<ref name="Jailbird">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Jailbird]]</ref>
|-|Samuel Adams=
Born in Boston, Samuel Adams was a pivotal Founding Father, political philosopher, and civic leader who galvanized colonial resistance against British authority. He strongly opposed the Stamp Act and other parliamentary taxation measures, leading to his involvement in the formation and operation of the Sons of Liberty in Boston. During the 1760s and 1770s he coordinated anti-British activities both within Boston and across the colonies, including the Boston Tea Party.<br><br>As a delegate to the Continental Congress, Adams was a firm advocate for separating from Britain, signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was also involved in drafting the Articles of Confederation and, after the war, served as governor of Massachusetts.


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. A pair of city guards then appeared at Ezio's door and tried to kill him, but were instead cut down by Ezio.<ref name="Family Heirloom">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Family Heirloom]]</ref>
|-|Crispus Attucks=
Crispus Attucks was one of the first casualties of the American Revolution. As an escaped slave working as a sailor and dock worker in Boston, he became a protest leader and the first victim of the Boston Massacre. During the confrontation with British soldiers on King Street, Attucks stood at the forefront of a crowd, demanding that the soldiers leave. When the soldiers opened fire, Attucks was shot twice in the chest, dying instantly.<br><br>Although his death was used as political propaganda to fuel anti-British sentiment during the period, his status as a martyr was cemented by 19th-century abolitionists who highlighted his sacrifice as a testament to Black patriotism.


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>
|-|Benjamin Franklin=
Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers. A seasoned diplomat in London, he initially opposed the Stamp Act and, upon returning to America, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. One of his most significant contributions to the Revolution was serving as the primary American envoy to France from 1776 to 1778. Using his fame as a scientist and diplomatic expertise, he secured essential French financial and military support. This support is widely regarded as being instrumental in turning the tide of the war.<br><br>Franklin is the only Founding Father to sign all three major documents establishing the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Treaty of Paris ending the war (1783), and the U.S. Constitution (1787).


====Auditore execution====
|-|John Hancock=
{{Quote|I'll kill you for what you've done!|Ezio to Uberto Alberti after watching his family's execution in 1476.|Assassin's Creed II}}
John Hancock was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot leader during the American Revolution. Inheriting a massive fortune from his uncle, Hancock became one of New England’s wealthiest men and used this wealth and influence to oppose British taxation policies. His defiance made him popular in Boston, particularly after customs officials seized his ship, the Liberty, in 1768 on charges of smuggling.<br><br>Hancock served as the President of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, and after the war, he served as the first and third Governor of Massachusetts. He is best known for being the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, doing so with a large, bold signature to defy King George III.
[[File:LMS 6 v.png|thumb|250px|left|Guards restraining Ezio at the execution]]
The next day, 29 December 1476, Ezio made his way to the [[Piazza della Signoria]], where Uberto presided over the execution of his family. Giovanni declared their innocence, citing the documents given to Uberto as evidence, but the Gonfaloniere denied any knowledge of such evidence. Ezio screamed that Uberto was lying, but his efforts to prevent the execution were ultimately in vain.<ref name="Last Man Standing">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Last Man Standing]]</ref>


Watching in horror as his father and brothers were executed, he stormed the gallows in an attempt to kill Uberto, exposing himself, whereupon he was restrained by the city guards. Uberto ordered his execution as well, and at the urging of one of Giovanni's [[thief|friends]], Ezio fled the area and sought shelter in a [[brothel]] run by the sister of the Auditore housemaid, a [[courtesan]] named [[Paola]].<ref name="Last Man Standing"/><ref name="Fitting in">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Fitting In]]</ref>
|-|Thomas Jefferson=
Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies’ break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of ''"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"''.


===Foray into vengeance===
|-|Marquis de Lafayette=
{{Quote|The Auditore are not dead! I'm still here! Me! Ezio! Ezio Auditore!|Ezio, upon killing Uberto.|Assassin's Creed II}}
Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay.<br><br>He quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.<br><br>After returning to France after the war, Lafayette remained a lifelong friend of the United States and was granted honorary U.S. citizenship in 2002.
Paola agreed to assist Ezio in his quest for vengeance, teaching him how to survive in the city as an outlaw through [[pickpocketing]] and [[blending]] in crowds.<ref name="Fitting in"/> She further directed Ezio to Leonardo da Vinci to repair Giovanni's Hidden Blade, though she did not notice that Ezio was being watched.<ref name="Ace Up My Sleeve">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Ace Up My Sleeve]]</ref>


====Last rites====
|-|Paul Revere=
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. Respecting her decision, Ezio gave her his necklace as a parting memento before kissing her.<ref name>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Last Rites (Brotherhood)|Last Rites]]</ref>
Paul Revere was a prominent Boston silversmith, industrialist, and dedicated Patriot. A leading member of the Sons of Liberty, Revere organized intelligence networks to monitor British troops and co-originated anti-British agitation, including taking part in the 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the war, Revere served in the Massachusetts Militia and manufactured gunpowder for the Continental Army.<br><br>He is most well known for his dramatic midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn colonists of advancing British forces. Following instructions, a ''"one if by land, two if by sea"'' signal was placed in the Old North Church, alerting Revere to the British route across the Charles River. Along with William Dawes and others, Revere spread the alarm from Boston to Lexington, enabling leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams to escape and allowing militiamen to prepare for the crucial battles of Lexington and Concord. Though captured by a British patrol shortly after his ride, his mission was successful. This was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1861 poem, ''"Paul Revere's Ride"'' transforming him into a lasting symbol of American independence and civic bravery.


====Adopting the Hidden Blade====
|-|Joseph Warren=
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. The engineer understood by decoding the manuscript that it was the blueprint of the blade. 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"/>
Joseph Warren was a Founding Father of the United States and a central leader in the Patriot movement in Boston during the early American Revolution. A respected physician and member of the Sons of Liberty, Warren became a key political organizer. He often acted as a master spy, utilizing his intelligence network to stay ahead of British movements. Notably, on April 18, 1775, it was Warren who dispatched Paul Revere and William Dawes on their famous midnight ride to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British march toward Lexington and Concord.<br><br>Despite having little formal military training, Warren was later appointed a major general and showed immense courage by volunteering as a private soldier in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he was killed in action at age 34.


====The first assassination====
|-|George Washington=
[[File:JJE 3 v.png|thumb|250px|Ezio stabbing Uberto Alberti]]
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence.<br><br>Unanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.
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'' – [[Judge, Jury, Executioner]]</ref>


After murdering Uberto, Ezio took the documents that the Gonfaloniere had concealed from him and his father, as well as a letter from Uberto, meant for his wife and son.<ref name="JJE"/> Ezio decided that he would see to it that she received the letter, not wishing to sink to Uberto's level.<ref name="Renaissance"/>
</tabber>


====Discovering his heritage====
;Memories
{{Quote|All this talk of Assassins and Templars... it reeks of fantasy.|Ezio trying to understand his heritage.|Assassin's Creed II}}[[File:RA 4 v.png|thumb|250px|left|Mario throwing a sword to Ezio]]
<tabber>
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'' – [[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'' – [[Roadside Assistance]]</ref>
|-|Banner=
;The Flag
You are outside Faneuil Hall. In 1776, while the Revolution was in full swing, this area was a hotbed of Patriotic sentiment. Talks were delivered here and revolutionary banners displayed openly despite the British occupation. Alongside Samuel Adams, create a banner and unfurl it on the front of the building in defiance at British rule.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era Boston and head to Faneuil Hall.


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'' – [[Practice Makes Perfect]]</ref>
;Historical details
When the Thirteen Colonies of America were seceding from the British at the start of the revolution, it became necessary for a flag to be created to symbolize the patriot cause and rally individuals for the Revolution!<br><br>These flags were often created by local artists and revolutionary groups to reflect the locations or the key messages that they stood for. One famous example is The Moultrie Flag. Commissioned by Colonel William Moultrie in 1775 to prepare for war with Britain, it depicts a white crescent moon with the word “LIBERTY” inscribed within it on a field of navy blue.


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. Guilt-ridden and knowing his presence was a primary reason for the ongoing attacks, Ezio travelled to San Gimignano to accept Mario's offer.<ref name="Practice Makes Perfect"/>

Creating
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'' – [[What Goes Around]]</ref>
Tap on the highlighted items on the table to customize each element of your banner. \nYou can choose the slogan, emblem, pattern, and cloth.


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"/>
Flying the banner
Once you're happy with your design, tap the highlighted ladder to unfurl your banner.


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'' – [[A Change of Plans]]</ref>
;What happens

Ezio decided to begin the renovation of Monteriggioni with the help of his sister who now worked as the accountant of the city. 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"/>
;Outcome
*Banner Created
Your banner proudly flies over Boston and stands as a rallying symbol for the Revolution. It joins the many patriotic flags that are being created all over America to show protest and pride in the creation of a new nation.

Outside the famous Faneuil Hall I joined Patriot Samuel Adams and constructed my own revolutionary banner. Unfurling it on the front of the building I made my opposition to British rule clear.
====Love forsaken====
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'' – [[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'' – [[Persona Non Grata]]</ref>

;An American Navy
This area, now known as Boston Common, was public common Iand used as a training ground for Soldiers throughout the Revolution. In 1775, the British Navy controlled the Atlantic and Congress decided to create a new Continental Navy. Train alongside naval captain John Paul Jones to learn to command a ship. \n\nLook out over the docks of revolutionary era Boston and begin your naval training.


====Santa Maria Novella's secrets====
;Historical details
[[File:FH_8.png|thumb|250px|Ezio requesting La Volpe's aid]]
At the start of the American Revolution, the Royal Navy faced little opposition from the fledgling American Navy. Several colonies maintained small state navies, and in 1775 Congress authorized the creation of a Continental Navy. These forces amounted to only several dozen small vessels and a handful of frigates.\n\nOne particularly notable American naval officer of the Revolutionary War was John Paul Jones. Among several victories he was responsible for the capture of the Royal Navy frigate Serapis. He came to be regarded as the father of the American Navy due to his advocacy for and training of American Naval officers.
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'' – [[Practice What You Preach]]</ref> While there, on April 25th, Ezio had his purse stolen by a thief, [[Corradin]]. Pursuing the man to a rooftop, he was met by La Volpe, who had lured Ezio to him knowing full well beforehand that he needed his help.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Fox Hunt]]</ref>


La Volpe directed him to a secret meeting involving Francesco de' Pazzi that would be occurring that very night at the [[Basilica di Santa Maria Novella]]. The thief showed him the hidden entrance of an underground catacomb that would lead him to where the meeting was being held.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[See You There]]</ref> By navigating through this secret complex, Ezio arrived at the perfect location to eavesdrop on the meeting, discovering that the Pazzi planned to kill the Medici at the [[Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore]] the following day and place their own people in government under the orders of their master, Rodrigo Borgia.<ref name="Novella's Secret">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Novella's Secret]]</ref> Coincidentally, the tomb was none other than that which held the seal of [[Darius]], one of the six legendary Assassin forebearers commemorated at the Villa Auditore, and so Ezio was not only able to acquire vital intel on his enemies but was also able to retrieve the first of the keys to the Armor of Altaïr.<ref name="Novella's Secret" />

The course
[[File:WiSC 11.png|thumb|left|252px|Ezio defending Lorenzo]]
To complete the course, you must sail through all the checkpoints in the lowest time possible.\n \nYou can lower your time by sinking the other ships as you go.
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'' – [[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'' – [[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'' – [[Four to the Floor]]</ref>
Controlling your ship
Rotate the wheel by drawing a circle on your screen to steer the ship.\n\nDrag the sail bar up or down to control speed.


====Preparing for the hunt====
Firing your cannons
Returning to Leonardo's workshop, the inventor deciphered the other page and built a [[Poison Blade]] for Ezio according to it.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[A Blade With Bite]]</ref> Ezio also began to receive contracts from Lorenzo to assassinate political enemies of the Medici. Returning to Monteriggioni, Ezio gave his uncle the translations of the Codex pages. In it, Mario saw the beginning of a prophecy about the vault which could only be opened by two Pieces of Eden wielded by the Prophet. As they needed to stop the Pazzi conspirators, Ezio perfected his training with Mario before confronting his targets.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Evasive Maneuvers]]</ref>
Tap the cannon icons to fire from either side of your ship. \n\nAfter each volley, your cannons will be temporarily unavailable while your crew reloads; time your shots wisely.


====Extinguishing the Pazzi====
;What happens
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'' – [[Town Crier]]</ref>
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Start] ''America will need a strong navy. Sail through all four checkpoints as fast as you can!''
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Checkpoint 1] ''Maneuverability will let you have the weather gauge. Staying upwind of your target gives you the advantage.''
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Checkpoint 2] ''Remember, position will be critical for you to run alongside your enemy and give them a broadside. ''
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Checkpoint 3] ''Pray you remember this training when you find yourself in the fray, and you will be fine.''


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'' – [[Behind Closed Doors]]</ref>
;Outcome
*Naval practice complete
Congratulations, you have completed the course. The skills that you have learned today will underpin the formation of the new American navy.\n \nHopefully it will be enough to help us defend ourselves against the most powerful navy in the world.


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'' – [[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. Infiltrating the abbey [[Monte Oliveto Maggiore]] later that year, Ezio assassinated the monk [[Stefano da Bagnone]] who said that the Templars met "in the shadows of the Roman Gods".<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[The Cowl Does Not Make the Monk]]</ref>

With the Congressional decision to create a new Continental Navy, I trained with John Paul Jones and learned to captain a ship.  


Sometime that same year, Ezio returned to the Palazzo Medici to speak with Lorenzo, but he saw Templar soldiers attack the residence. Ezio killed all the enemies within the palace and saved once again the ''de facto'' ruler of Florence. To reward him, Lorenzo authorized Ezio to take a part of the Medici treasure.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Home Invasion]]</ref>

;Green Dragon
The Green Dragon Tavern stands before you. In its original form, in 1775, it was used by the Sons of Liberty for their resistance activities in British-occupied Boston. Join William Bowes, a member of the Sons of Liberty, find a cipher hidden in the tavern, to decrypt an urgent secret message.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the famous Green Dragon Tavern.


[[File:With Friends 10 v.png|thumb|250px|Rodrigo Borgia confronting Ezio]]
;Historical details
On 3 January 1480, using the information he collected, Ezio located Jacopo at [[Santa Maria Assunta]] and tracked him to an [[Antico Teatro Romano|ancient Roman theatre]]. 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. While Rodrigo and Emilio fled, Ezio was apprehended by Templar guards, but he overpowered and killed them before swiftly putting the dying Jacopo out of his misery.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[With Friends Like These]]</ref>
The Green Dragon Tavern was a popular meeting place for the Sons of Liberty, a clandestine group of Revolutionaries who worked for America's independence. Their work was kept secret through a network of supporters and through a range of spy craft during the revolution, from coded lantern signals to invisible ink and complex ciphers. \n \nAmong the most notable ciphers of the era was that developed by James Lovell, though it frequently failed in practice. Lovell's hints at the keyword were often so obscure as to be useless, as this instruction to John Adams illustrates: \"You certainly can recollect the name of that family where you and I spent our last evening together... Make regular alphabets in number equal to the first sixth part of that family name.\" Adams struggled so persistently with the cipher that he once accused Benjamin Franklin of deliberately withholding information, having simply failed to decode his letter.

Tap on objects in the tavern to interact with them.
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'' – [[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. While helping him with repairs, he caught his first glimpse of Leonardo's [[Flying Machine]]. 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'' – [[Romagna Holiday]]</ref>
Eagle Vision
If you need a hint, tap the Eagle Vision button to see what you need to investigate in the room.


In [[Romagna]], he asked for help finding a boat to Venice from a trio of strangers. One among them, a woman named [[Amelia]], in turn asked that he race her friend on horseback to settle her bet that the first stranger they encountered could beat him. As he had some time to spare, Ezio accepted the challenge and won, sharing an intimate moment with Amelia as she had implied would be his reward.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Horseplay]]</ref>
;What happens
*[Start] I need to find the hidden locked box and the key to it so I can get to the cipher. I heard him talk about paper, a painting, and the lanterns.
*[BookcaseTappedClosed] This bookcase looks like it moves, but it's too heavy to pull. Maybe there's a secret way of opening?
*[LanternFirst] The lanterns seems to control something in the room. I need to work out the pattern.

*[FirstPaper] This scrap of a drawing seems important. I'll place it on the table over there.
*[TableMissing] I need to find some more pieces of drawing to work out what this is showing.
*[AllPaper] That looks like it's all of them. I should look at what it's made on the table.
*[TableComplete] This shows the dragon sign on the wall. I should take a closer look and see if it matches.
*[DragonComplete] This now matches the drawing. I've found a key in its mouth!
*[Key] You have aligned the section of the Green Dragon sign to match the design from the pieces of paper. This has opened a secret compartment and you have found a key.\n\nThis must be a key to the locked box that contains the cipher.
*[BoxWithKey] The key opened it and the cipher is inside. Now I can read the letter!


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. However, Ezio was refused permission to board because he lacked a pass. 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. The lady introduced herself as [[Caterina Sforza]], the lady of Forlì, and secured passage to Venice for Ezio as a sign of gratitude.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Tutti a Bordo]]</ref>
;Outcome
*Message Deciphered
You have successfully helped the Sons of Liberty decipher a secret message vital to the Revolution. \n\nClandestine communications are essential for effectively fighting against the British, so long as they are not too complicated to decode!


====Joining the Thieves' Guild====
;Log
Once in Venice, Ezio and Leonardo were given a brief tour of the city by [[Alvise da Vilandino]]. Almost immediately, they witnessed guards ransacking the stalls of local shopkeepers, learning that Emilio Barbarigo, who owned the Venetian police through his vast wealth, used them to extort money from the local merchants. Ezio also had his purse stolen by a [[Rosa|female thief]]. After Leonardo installed his new workshop, Ezio started his hunt for his target.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Benvenuto]]</ref>
Alongside William Bowes, a member of the Sons of Liberty, I solved the puzzle of the Green Dragon tavern and managed to find the cipher to an urgent secret message.


[[File:That's Gonna Leave a Mark 6.png|thumb|250px|Ezio bringing Rosa to Ugo]]
|-|Gear=
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. In the meantime, Ezio protected them from the guards who pursued them by killing them across rooftops.<ref name="That's Gonna Leave a Mark">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[That's Gonna Leave a Mark]]</ref>

Gather your gear and prepare to join the fight as one of the famous Minutemen.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the street next to the encampments on Boston Common.


Arriving at the [[Gilda dei Ladri di Venezia|Thieves' Guild]], Ezio helped their leader [[Antonio de Magianis]] treat Rosa. As Antonio already knew who Ezio was and why he was in the city, he asked the Florentine to meet him in his office to discuss further.<ref name="That's Gonna Leave a Mark" /> In his office, Antonio explained to Ezio that the thieves wanted to liberate the [[San Polo District]] from Emilio's grip but that they could not afford to be hasty and risk another failure. He invited Ezio to work with him to concoct a plan for another strike at Emilio.<ref name="Building Blocks">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Building Blocks]]</ref> Ezio accepted and helped Ugo liberate the thieves who were captured during the attack,<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Breakout]]</ref> following which he retrieved a shipment of guard uniforms that they planned to use for their next attack.<ref name="Clothes Make the Man">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Clothes Make the Man]]</ref> He also killed the traitors in the guild who were bribed by Emilio.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Cleaning House]]</ref> With Rosa, Ezio perfected his climbing skills, learning the climb leap technique.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Monkey See, Monkey Do]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[By Leaps and Bounds]]</ref>
;Historical details
As war broke out between the American colonies and Great Britain, the Americans were forced to adjust and evolve their military. This was previously defined by informal militia but as events around Boston became more tense, many communities in Massachusetts began to create more elite regiments. \n\nTheir regiments trained more frequently and were expected to be ready quickly, “at a minute’s warning...” They became known as “Minute Men.” These regiments were made of men from all economic and racial backgrounds and formed the backbone of the Revolutionary forces.\n


====Assassination of Emilio Barbarigo====
;Instructions
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]]. With this new lead, Ezio decided to attend the upcoming meeting.<ref name="Everything Must Go">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Everything Must Go]]</ref>

====The murder of Doge Mocenigo====
Needed gear
Three days after Emilio's death, Ezio spied on the meeting between Carlo and [[Silvio Barbarigo]], Emilio's cousin and inquisitor of Venice. Following them, he saw the two men joined by another one of Emilio's cousins, [[Marco Barbarigo]], and his simple-minded bodyguard [[Dante Moro]]. As they were joined by Rodrigo Borgia himself, Ezio uncovered their plot to [[Cantarella|poison]] the Doge [[Giovanni Mocenigo]] and replace him with Marco Barbarigo and that it was to happen that very night.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Birds of a Feather]]</ref> Realizing the urgency, Ezio and Antonio sought a way into the [[Palazzo Ducale di Venezia|Palazzo Ducale]], examining the front gates, the rear walls and even passing over the [[St. Mark's Basilica|Basilica di San Marco]], but they were hampered at every turn.<ref name="AC2"/> As they returned to the piazza below, a frustrated Antonio remarked that only birds could get into the Doge's palace, but this reminded Ezio of Leonardo's flying machine, which he had seen on the way to Forlì.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[If At First You Don't Succeed...]]</ref>

====The Carnival of Venice====
;What happens
Returning to Leonardo's workshop during the [[Carnevale]] of 1486, Ezio asked the help of Leonardo to decipher the Codex page he found on Carlo. With that, Leonardo created a [[Hidden Gun]] for Ezio and gave him a mask to hide his identity. 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]]. Ezio chased after the murderer and killed him with his Hidden Gun when he took another courtesan hostage, proving its effectiveness.<ref name="Damsels in Distress">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Damsels in Distress]]</ref> Returning to the brothel, Ezio told Antonio about his plan to kill Marco Barbarigo. As the new Doge of the city, the Templar would normally be well protected within his palace, but Teodora informed Ezio that that night, Marco was hosting a party outside and that Ezio could compete in the four games of the Carnevale to win the [[Golden Mask]] that would gain him entrance to Marco's private party.<ref name="Nun the Wiser">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Nun the Wiser]]</ref>
*'''MILITIA:''' [Start] ''Thank you for answering the call of your country. Gather your seven items of gear.''

With this plan in mind, Ezio participated in the different games of the Carnevale. He won the race across the [[Dorsoduro]] district,<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[And They're Off]]</ref> defeated an opponent in a game of {{wiki|capture-the-flag}}, <ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[CTF]]</ref> and in the third game, Ezio's handsomeness helped him to collect the most ribbons from the ladies of the Carnevale.<ref name="Ribbon Round-Up">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Ribbon Round-Up]]</ref> During the last challenge, Ezio first fought in a fistfight against three adversaries, before having to face off against Dante Moro. As the bodyguard was defeated, Silvio sent armed guards to kill Ezio, but even then, the Florentine won the fight. At the ceremony, Ezio was prepared to receive the Golden Mask, but Silvio had intimidated and bribed the judges into denying him his prize, handing it over to Dante instead in a blatant display of cheating that angered the audience.<ref name="Cheaters Never Prosper">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]</ref> Returning to La Rosa della Virtù, Ezio, Antonio and Teodora prepared another plan by stealing the Golden Mask of Dante before he joined the party.<ref name="Having a Blast">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Having a Blast]]</ref>
Equipment:
*Blanket
**Soldiers' blankets were mostly made of wool, linen, or the mixed cloth linsey-woolsey, and came in a variety of colors and patterns. There was no official provision of blankets, and most were donated from people's own homes.
*Canteen
**A canteen - made of wood, tin, or glass - was vital for militia soldiers to carry water on the march. With a typical day's march covering 8 to 13 miles and a canteen holding just 1.4 liters, a soldier had to make that supply last the entire day unless he found a chance to refill it.
*Tricorn Hat
**Perhaps one of the most iconic and easily recognized pieces of clothing from the colonial era is the tri-corner hat, or more simply known as the tricorn. Although the style originated in Europe, it is now associated with the American Revolutionary War and the nation's fight for freedom.
*Powder Horns
**A militia soldier needed two powder horns: a large one, for the coarse powder used in the main charge in the musket, and a small one, to hold the more finely ground powder that was used in the priming pan. These were made from real horns that were often obtained from domestic cattle.
*Musket
**The most common weapon used during the American Revolution was the musket - a long smoothbore gun without grooves inside its barrel, fired from the shoulder. These weapons were slow, complicated to load and extremely inaccurate, and were normally only fired in volleys.
*Sword
**During the Revolutionary War, most infantrymen carried a hanger as a secondary weapon, a type of short sword with a blade about twenty-five inches long, designed to supplement their musket in close combat. This sword is based on the one carried by Massachusetts minute man James Taylor.
*Worm
**‘The Worm' was the name given to a corkscrew-shaped piece of metal which was used to extract any residual debris from the barrel of the soldier's musket when cleaning it. Every soldier had to carry one in order to keep the musket ready to use.


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. Infuriated, she rebuked Ezio, blaming him for leaving her behind to marry Manfredo when she had loved Ezio instead. She asked him to never meet her again and left him alone.<ref name="Persona Non Grata" />

;Outcome
Though heartbroken, Ezio returned to his mission at hand and was successful in stealing the mask from Dante and infiltrating the Doge's personal party. During the party, Dante and guards arrived and searched for the man who stole the Mask. Ezio eluded the patrol during the party by blending in with Teodora's courtesans. As Marco appeared on a docked ship to make a speech, Ezio shot him from afar with the Hidden Gun, timing it with the fireworks to hide the sound of the blast. Escaping the scene, he returned to the brothel where Antonio and Teodora congratulated him for the success of the assassination. Ezio flirted with Teodora, but the Madam sent her courtesans to satiate Ezio's desires.<ref name="Having a Blast"/>

====Attack on the Arsenal====
;Log
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. Antonio directed Ezio to the ''condotierro'', [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]], who was a personal enemy of Silvio.<ref name="An Unpleasant Turn of Events">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[An Unpleasant Turn of Events]]</ref> The young Florentine arrived at [[Quartier di Bartolomeo d'Alviano|Bartolomeo's barracks]] just as they had been attacked by Silvio's men. He swiftly liberated Bartolomeo and his soldiers from captivity,<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Caged Fighter]]</ref><ref name="Leave No Man Behind">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Leave No Man Behind]]</ref> and once Bartolomeo learned of Ezio's purpose, he was more than willing to assist in Silvio's destruction.<ref name="Leave No Man Behind" />
I joined the famous Minutemen at the encampment on Boston Common. There, under the command of Commander Bigelow, I gathered my gear and prepared to fight for the Patriot cause.


[[File:Two birds 11.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio with Bartolomeo after liberating the Arsenal]]

Knowing that a direct assault would prove disastrous, Bartolomeo planned for his mercenaries to simultaneously attack Silvio's men throughout the [[Castello District]], thereby drawing his soldiers away from the Arsenal.<ref name="Assume the Position">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Assume the Position]]</ref> Ezio positioned groups of mercenaries at strategic points across the district before signalling them with a flare. With most of Silvio's forces dispatched outside the Arsenal, Ezio and Bartolomeo launched their attack on the shipyard itself. The two engaged Dante, driving him away from Silvio, whereupon they clashed once more. On this second engagement, Silvio ordered Dante to withdraw as the ship they had been planning to embark on prepared to leave, yet they were too late—it had already departed without them, leaving them to the mercy of the Assassin.<ref name="Two Birds, One Blade">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Two Birds, One Blade]]</ref>
;A Light in the Dark
You are opposite the house of the renowned patriot Paul Revere. In 1775, during the British occupation of Boston, this spot was a hub of revolutionary sentiment. Learn from Patriot leader Joseph Warren how to signal with lantern light, in order to warn patriots about the movements of the British troops. \n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head through the streets around the house of Paul Revere.


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'' – [[Two Birds, One Blade]]</ref>
;Historical details
Paul Revere was a Revolutionary soldier and express rider who transported important documents and messages during the war. \n \nOn the night of April 18th, 1775, in response to a coded message delivered by the light of two lanterns in the tower of Old North church, he undertook a perilous ride to Lexington with the news that the British soldiers stationed in Boston were about to march. The successful raising of the alarm proved pivotal, allowing the Revolutionary forces to prepare and to their subsequent victory at the battles at Lexington and Concord.

Objective
[[File:Play along 8.png|thumb|250px|Ezio's friends revealing themselves as Assassins]]
Joseph Warren and other revolutionary spies would send covert messages using the light and shadows cast by lanterns.  
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'' – [[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"/>
Aligning the shadows
Tap on a lantern to select it, then drag anywhere on the screen to rotate the shape in front of it. \n\nAlign the shadow until it forms a recognizable image.


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'' – [[Play Along]]</ref>

*'''Joseph Warren:''' [4 Lantern Tap] ''Let's see how you handle this one. Good luck.''


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"/>

*LANTERNS LIT
You have demonstrated your ingenuity and are learning the skills you would need as a spy working for the Revolution.\n\nSending messages will allow for the supporters of the Revolution to share vital information about the British plans and troop movements.

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. He received a brand on his left hand's ring finger and performed the ceremonial [[Leap of Faith]].<ref name="Play Along"/>

;Fighting for Freedom
[[File:Leo work 1.png|thumb|250px|Ezio and the others examining the Apple]]
The British had left Boston by 1778, and this area of Boston Common then served as an encampment and training ground for the Patriot militias. Join the Militia recruits and practice using a musket for the coming battles. \n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the military training grounds.
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'' – ''[[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'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]'' – [[A Warm Welcome]]</ref>
;Historical details
Warfare during the Revolutionary war was defined by the musket. A complex weapon, it required loading by hand with powder, wadding, and ramrod - a slow process demanding extensive training to master. This training was also essential for developing the discipline and coordinated movement necessary for cohesion on the battlefield. \n\nThe musket's smooth, non-rifled barrel also made it highly inaccurate, meaning speed of fire mattered far more than precision. A well-trained British soldier could discharge four rounds a minute; most recruits, however, could manage only one or two, making rigorous training vital to the Revolutionary cause.


[[File:Godfather 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Ezio and Caterina conversing with the Orsi brothers]]
;Instructions
Reaching the Rocca di Ravaldino after some fierce fighting,<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]'' – [[Bodyguard]]</ref> they discovered that two of Caterina’s children, [[Ottaviano Riario|Ottaviano]] and [[Bianca Riario|Bianca]], were missing.

Members of the Massachusetts militia needed to learn how to use a musket by loading, aiming, and firing at the targets on the training grounds. Have a go!


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'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]'' – [[Godfather]]</ref>
Loading
After each shot, you must reload. \n\nTap on the screen when the triangle touches the bar to load, then repeat to prime your musket.


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'' – ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]'' – [[Checcomate]]</ref>

Caterina’s guards later found Ezio next to Checco’s corpse and returned him to Forlì, where Caterina nursed him back to health. 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"/>
Tap on the screen to fire your musket.


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'' - ''[[Battle of Forlì (DLC)|Battle of Forlì]]''- [[Far From the Tree]]</ref>

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]]'' – [[Database: Girolamo da Lucca]]</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====
;Log
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" />
Joining the Patriot Militia recruits I practiced using a musket on targets in the Boston Common. I was commended for my shooting and my preparedness for the coming battles.


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>

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" />
;Historical details
The Boston Tea Party marked a critical moment in the history of the American Revolution as an act of colonial defiance against British rule.\n\nOn 16 December 1773, American colonists marched from the Old South Meeting House to Boston Harbor, where they threw 340 chests of tea owned by the British East India Company into the water, destroying them.\n \nInitially a protest against the tax on tea, levied without representation in the British Parliament, it soon came to be seen as one of the first sparks of the revolution that would engulf America.


When the Assassin arrived at the hostel, it was still heavily occupied by the Borgia troops. While he was able to sneak into Luis and Christoffa's room, he was spotted by a [[Guard Captain]] just as he retrieved Christoffa's atlas and was forced to make his escape via the crypt below.<ref name="Find Christoffa's Atlas">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Find Christoffa's Atlas]]</ref> The crypt led him out into the city, where he lost his pursuers just in time to return the maps to Luis and Christoffa as the two prepared to embark on the ship that would take them away from Venice. In their parting exchange, Ezio asked that they bring their own guards should they ever journey to [[Italy]] again, to which Luis explained that he would have done so had the [[Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins|Assassins in Spain]] not been decimated by the [[Spanish Inquisition|Inquisitors]] of [[Tomás de Torquemada]].<ref name="Bring the Atlas to the Harbor">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Bring the Atlas to the Harbor]]</ref> This news, along with the fact that Luis knew of the Assassins, shocked Ezio,<ref name="Bring the Atlas to the Harbor" /> who was then not aware that Luis was an Assassin himself.<ref name="Survive the Ambush">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Survive the Ambush]]</ref>

Tap and hold a crate of tea on the right to pick it up, then swipe up to throw it into the water. The faster your swipe, the further it travels.  
The plight of his brethren in Spain distressed him, and, feeling that it was his obligation, Ezio Auditore announced to Antonio that he was postponing his search for the Apple and taking the initiative to rescue them.<ref name="Bring the Atlas to the Harbor" />


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>

The closer your crate lands to the center of the target, the more points you earn. You and John Spurr, will alternate turns. He's aiming to outscore you!
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>

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>

====Journey to Granada====
|-|Tree=
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. Raphael was of another mind; he implored the Florentine to accompany him to [[Granada]] and help unravel the conspiracies of the [[Spanish Rite of the Templar Order|Spanish Templars]] for a little while longer, feeling that they were on the verge of doing so.<ref name="Return to Sánchez">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Return to Sánchez]]</ref>

Acquiescing, Ezio hit the road with Raphael, and the Spanish Assassin began his long telling of the ''[[Reconquista]]''.<ref name="Return to Sánchez" /><ref name="Eliminate the Templar Presence">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Eliminate the Templar Presence]]</ref> When they entered a town in the former territory of the Emirate of Granada, they were hailed by the same French rogue who had stolen Ezio's sword in Barcelona.

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>
;Historical details
The Liberty tree was a famous elm tree that stood near Boston Common which became a focal point in the protest against the stamp act and British rule. In 1775, as tensions grew in the city, Loyalists felled the tree to the outrage of revolutionary supporters. The Liberty Tree became an enduring symbol for the spirit of the Revolution. \n\nThe Old South Meeting House hosted some of the most important meetings of the Revolution including angry speeches on the destruction of the Liberty Tree and the pivotal debate on British taxation which led to the Boston Tea Party.


The two parted ways again, and Ezio continued his journey with Raphael. As they neared the outskirts of [[Granada]], Raphael finished his account of the ongoing [[Granada War]], where [[Ferdinand II of Aragon|King Ferdinand of Aragon]] and [[Isabella I of Castile|Queen Isabella of Castile]] were conquering the last [[Moors|Moorish]] state in the hopes of uniting the Iberian peninsula under [[Christianity]]. The capital city of Granada was all that was left of Moorish resistance, but despite the imminent defeat, [[Muhammad XII of Granada]] seemed ever unyielding.<ref name="Eliminate the Templar Presence" />

====A convoluted plot unravelled====

Recognizing that they were approaching a war zone, the two Assassins became more vigilant and split up to sweep the outlying villages of Templars. Ezio assassinated five Templar soldiers alongside ten other of their men, quelling the worst of atrocities being committed in the area.<ref name="Eliminate the Templar Presence" /> Even still, bands of undisciplined soldiers continued to roam about abusing [[civilian]]s, and the two split up once more to rescue these people.<ref name="Save the Civilians">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Save the Civilians]]</ref> The fourth such civilian that Ezio encountered cried that soldiers had kidnapped his wife and child,<ref name="Save the Civilians" /> but it was a ruse to lead him into an ambush.<ref name="Survive the Ambush" /> When the Assassin followed after him into a [[Ancient Rome|Roman amphitheatre]], the gates closed around him, trapping him with scores of Spanish swordsmen on the arena floor and archers in the ''{{wiki|caveae}}''. Despite these incredible odds, Ezio survived, killing all of the swordsmen and fighting his way out of the town to rendezvous with Raphael at a [[church]].<ref name="Survive the Ambush" />
You need to guide the beam, representing his speeches, from the glowing window of the Old South Meeting House to the Liberty Tree above it using the reflective shards.


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. At the same time, they had learned of a Templar spy who was feeding Muhammad XII false information so that he would continue the futile war.<ref name="Survive the Ambush" /> While another group of Spanish Assassins led by [[Benedicto]] fought to preserve the Moorish state with all their might,<ref name="ACfilm" /><ref name="Rebellion">''Assassin's Creed: Rebellion''</ref> Luis and Raphael were of the view that prolonging a war where the outcome was inevitable only served to exacerbate the common people's suffering, bring more bloodshed to the region, and play into the Templars' goals.<ref name="Survive the Ambush" />

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.

Infiltrating Alhambra, Ezio managed to sneak his way to the throne room where he discovered a Templar knight holding Muhammad XII hostage and gloating over him. He killed the Templar from behind, freed Muhammad XII from his bondage, and asserted with all earnesty that the war was lost, whereupon the emir at last conceded that it was time to surrender.<ref name="Find King Muhammad">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Find King Muhammad]]</ref> With the emir's blessing, Ezio hurried to the city gates to announce Granada's capitulation,<ref name="Find King Muhammad" /> but with no time for the emir to notify his guards, the Assassin was chased by four Moorish guard captains out of the palace at the bottom of the tower's grand staircase.<ref name="Escape the Tower">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Escape the Tower]]</ref>

Your words are a rousing call for independence. The Tree of Liberty grows in Boston from the ideas shared in the Old South Meeting House, stirring the hearts of people across the city.


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====
|-|Trial=
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>
;Justice on Trial
You are standing near the Old State House. In 1770, the Boston Massacre resulted in the deaths of five protestors just meters from here. It was a key moment that affected the course of events. Help John Adams, Patriot leader and influential lawyer, gather evidence in order to give Captain Thomas Preston a fair trial.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the street next to the Old State House.


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>
;Historical details
The Boston massacre was a confrontation between a small contingent of British soldiers and a crowd of around 300 revolutionary supporters in which five protestors were killed and six were injured. The Boston government was determined to give the soldiers a fair trial so that there could be no grounds for retaliation from the British. \n\nJohn Adams, despite being a member of the Sons of Liberty and revolutionary supporter, defended the men at trial. The trial resulted in Thomas Preston, the senior British officer present, being acquitted after the jury was convinced he had not ordered his troops to fire. In the trial of his eight other soldiers involved six of them were acquitted while two, Matthew Kilroy and Hugh Montgomery, were found guilty on the offense of manslaughter and sentenced a reduced punishment of a branding of the thumb.

;Instructions
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>
Objective
John Adams investigated the Boston Massacre, presenting evidence to defend Thomas Preston and his men. Gather then submit evidence that answers three important questions.  


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====
Reviewing evidence
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>
Tap the evidence icon to review your collected evidence.\n\nOnce you have collected all the available evidence you will be able to access the questions.


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>

*'''John Adams:''' ''Thank you for your help with this endeavor. Start by gathering the evidence we need.''
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. In the process of navigating his way through to Torquemada, the Assassin killed at least thirty guards—many of them guard captains.<ref name="Assassinate Tomás Torquemada">''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' – [[Assassinate Tomás Torquemada]]</ref>
Evidence:
*Injured arm
**A physician stated that British Captain Preston's arm was damaged from a woodblock thrown during the riot and that, resultantly, he was unable to fire his gun.
*Carr's testimony
**One of the victims, American rioter Patrick Carr, who died later in the care of Dr. Jon Jefferies, said that he bore the soldiers no ill will and that he was satisfied that the soldier had no malice but fired to defend himself.
*Bloodied Coal
**It seems like the Revolutionary rioters were throwing more than just snowballs. This coal has blood from a soldier on it.
*Preston's coat
**There are gunshot burns on British Captain Preston's coat. He must've narrowly missed being shot by his men.
**[Adams' comment] These gunshot marks came from behind. Preston must've stood in front of his men when they fired.
*Soldier's hat
**It seems like this British soldier must have taken quite the blow to the head.
**[Adams' comment] Seems like Kilroy took a nasty blow to the head.
*[Jane] Whitehouse's testimony
**One of the eyewitnesses to the massacre stated that she saw British Captain Preston stand in front of his men.
*Mysterious man
**Jane Whitehouse, a civilian eyewitness, reported that a man who did not look like an officer came behind the soldiers and walked backward and forward, encouraging them to fire. She was positive the man was not British Captain Preston.
*Montgomery's account
**One of the British soldiers involved in the massacre stated that they were grabbed and were directly ordered to fire.
*Kilroy's account
**British soldier Kilroy stated that the soldiers only fired when the order was given.
*'''John Adams:''' ''We've collected all of the evidence. We should now assign them to the questions.''


[[File:EzioTorquemada.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Ezio confronting Torquemada]]
*'''John Adams:''' [Question 1] ''What evidence proves Preston did not order his men to fire?''
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" />
[Present evidence]
*'''John Adams:''' [Answer 1] ''Based on testimony and marks on Preston's coat, it's clear he stood in front at the time. Therefore, he would not have called for them to fire unless he wanted to get shot!''


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"/>
*'''John Adams:''' [Question 2] ''What evidence proves Preston's men did not shoot with malice?''
[Present evidence]
*'''John Adams:''' [Answer 2] ''It's clear from the evidence that Preston's men did not shoot with malice. Kilroy had taken a substantial blow to the head and had large objects thrown at him. Even Carr said he had never seen soldiers bear half as much as those soldiers did.''


===Templar slavery in Florence===
*'''John Adams:''' [Question 3] ''If not Preston, who told his men to fire?''
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. Under his direction, three Spanish Assassins ambushed Templar thugs patrolling the streets at night, cutting them down one after another and looting their corpses for clues.<ref name="Rat Catching">''Assassin's Creed: Rebellion]] – A War in the Shadows'' – [[Rat Catching]]</ref> In the meantime, the Assassins [[Perina di Bastian]] and [[Corvo Antonelli]] answered Ezio's other call to the Italian Brotherhood to investigate.<ref name="A War in the Shadows" /><ref name="Hell's Horses">''Assassin's Creed: Rebellion – A War in the Shadows'' – [[Hell's Horses]]</ref>
[Present evidence]
*'''John Adams:''' [Answer 3] ''The real mystery then is, if not Preston, who told these men to fire? Montgomery recalled being grabbed from behind and hearing someone yell at him to fire. Miss Whitehouse saw a man in dark-colored clothing who approached the men from behind. Who it was that caused this terrible tragedy, we may never know.''


While Corvo was captured by the Templars, Perina's mission intersected with the Spanish team at an abandoned mansion which once belonged to the noble house of Contarini.<ref name="Hell's Horses" /> From there, the Assassins tracked the Templars to an old wine cellar where they found not only Corvo but many of the missing Florentines who had been abducted to be sold as slaves.<ref name="The Meat Cellar">''Assassin's Creed: Rebellion – A War in the Shadows'' – [[The Meat Cellar]]</ref> The Templar mastermind behind this slave trade, [[Bonacolto Contarini]], had not been discreet, and once the Assassins learned his name,<ref name="Hell's Horses" /> they eliminated his lieutenants throughout the city to weaken him and pinpoint his location.<ref name="The Hydra's Heads">''Assassin's Creed: Rebellion – A War in the Shadows'' – [[The Hydra's Heads]]</ref> As before, intel left on their bodies led them right to his ancestral keep in the countryside outside Florence.

*'''John Adams:''' [All evidence presented] ''My thanks. We have served the cause of the law and shown our convictions this day.''


Contarini's last words boasting that the city would fall to the Templars within a year proved to be both prophetic and erroneus;<ref name="The Slaver's Demise" /> over the course of the next few years, Girolamo Savonarola would seize control of the city with the Apple of Eden and rule despotically in the typical manner of Templars—but he was not a Templar himself.<ref name="Bonfire of the Vanities">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]''</ref>
;Outcome
*Verdict Reached
You have helped John Adams gather the evidence and look at the questions central to the trial of those involved in the Boston Massacre. The pursuit of liberty under law demonstrates not just a passionate commitment to freedom but a willingness to hold all to its standards.  


===Search for Savonarola===
;Log
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>
After the tragic events of the Boston Massacre I helped John Adams gather evidence in order to give Captain Thomas Preston a fair trial.  


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" />

<!--
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'' – "[[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 name="Florentine Fiasco"/>

====Eliminating the Piagnoni====
|-|Credits=
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'' – ''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'' – ''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'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Upward Mobility]]</ref>

From the Old Market, Ezio moved onto the [[Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore|Florence Cathedral]], assassinating a [[Priest (Piagnone)|priest]] of Savonarola who had been chanting at the top of the dome.<ref name="Last Rites">''Assassin's Creed II'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Last Rites (II)|Last Rites]]</ref> On a trading ship anchored off a dock in the [[Santa Maria Novella District]], he air assassinated a [[merchant (Piagnone)|merchant]] who had planned to withhold shipments of food to those resisting Savonarola's rule.<ref name="Port Authority">''Assassin's Creed II'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Port Authority]]</ref> Both of these lieutenants felt appalled at their actions when they woke from the Apple's spell while passing away,<ref name="Last Rites" /><ref name="Port Authority" /> but this was less so with the next three that the Assassin targeted.<ref name="Surgical Strike">''Assassin's Creed II'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Surgical Strike]]</ref><ref name="Hitting the Hay">''Assassin's Creed II'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Hitting the Hay]]</ref><ref name="Arch Nemesis">''Assassin's Creed II'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Arch Nemesis]]</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. Like a ghost, Ezio passed through his audience and neutralized him.<ref name="Surgical Strike" /> Then there was the [[Farmer (Piagnone)|farmer]] who had his guards hoard hay and grains from the people in the hopes that through starvation he would not only force them to surrender but teach them to respect his low station. Ezio killed him from one of his own haystacks and as his parting words, told him that he could not respect him—though he was an Assassin fighting for the downtrodden, the peasant's methods were unacceptable.<ref name="Hitting the Hay" />

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'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Doomsday]]</ref>

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. With these words, Cristina perished in his arms.<ref name="Love's Labour's Lost">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Love's Labour's Lost]]</ref>


====Justice and mercy====
;Welsh Government
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'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[Power to the People]]</ref>

[[File:Mob justice 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Ezio assassinating Savonarola]]
</tabber>
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'' – ''Bonfire of the Vanities'' – [[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" />
;People of the Revolution
<tabber>
|-|Caesar Glover=
Caesar was one of hundreds of sailors, White and Black, who helped the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in 1776, enabling the rebellion to survive. Born in Africa, he was enslaved as a child and brought to North America.<br><br>Somehow, he earned his freedom, and in 1775 he joined the Revolution as part of the Marblehead regiment. This group of seamen manned the boats in the New Jersey and New York campaigns, including the famous crossing of the Delaware River. Black New Englanders like Caesar were among the Continental Army’s first recruits, 150 of whom carried Washington’s troops from Brooklyn Heights to Peck Slip in August 1776. The amateur military, greatly outnumbered, was badly defeated in Long Island. But they were saved by a thick fog, an early historian writing that no one in the region could remember any such weather “within the space of twenty or thirty years\". If not for the skill of mariners like Caesar, military historians agree, no more than half of the decimated rebel army would have escaped.


===Vengeance's end===
|-|Nathan Hale=
{{Quote|I thought... I thought I was beyond this. But I'm not. I've waited too long, lost too much.|Ezio to Rodrigo during his first assassination attempt.|Assassin's Creed II}}The following year saw the Assassins come together once more at the Villa Auditore, with the Piece of Eden and the last missing pages of the Codex in hand. Completing the Codex wall, Ezio found that by rearranging the order of the Codex pages, the invisible markings on them visible only with Eagle Vision began to make sense. 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. As they had expected, this map also indicated the location of the Vault: [[Rome]], beneath the [[Vaticano District|Vatican]]. 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'' – [[X Marks the Spot]]</ref>
Nathan Hale is one of the American Revolution’s most famous spies and one of its earliest martyrs. Having volunteered to stay in New York after the Battle of Long Island in order to pass information to the Revolutionary cause, the 21-year-old Patriot was hanged by the occupying British government on September 22, 1776. This underscored the importance of effective espionage practices for the rebels. <br><br>Alongside George Washington’s spy ring on Long Island, intelligence-gathering was far more commonly done by everyday unsung heroes of the cause. Knowledge is typically passed mouth to mouth, through both formal and informal communication networks. Waitresses overhearing conversation between officers in a tavern passed information on to rebel informants. Slaves moving goods from city to country reported on the British army’s health. Families permitted to cross battlefield lines to visit relatives shared observations in conversation and correspondence.\n


[[File:IBAL 4.png|thumb|250px|Ezio confronting Rodrigo in the Sistine Chapel]]
|-|Alexander Hamilton=
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'' – [[In Bocca al Lupo]]</ref>
Alexander Hamilton was one of George Washington’s trusted advisers during the American Revolution and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in 1757 in the West Indies, he was orphaned at the age of 11. His cleverness showed early, and his employers pooled their money to send him to university. Hamilton moved to New York in 1773 and began attending King’s College (later Columbia University). By 1774, he was writing pro-rebel articles, and by 1775 he’d joined the volunteer militia to oppose the British. \n \nIn 1776 he formed his own artillery company, becoming a captain, before being appointed as aide-de-camp to Washington in 1777. A skilled military commander, his leadership was decisive in the Battle of Yorktown. After the war Hamilton went on to become a respected statesman, representing New York and the nation in the preservation of the principles of the revolution and formation of the new government.


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" />
|-|William Howe=
William Howe was the commander in chief of the British Army in North America (1776–78). Despite several military successes, he was unable to destroy the Continental Army and stem the American Revolution.\n \nWilliam Howe had been active in North America during the French and Indian War a few years earlier, where he earned a reputation as one of the army’s most brilliant young generals. He initially captured New York in 1776 when the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Long Island and later led the campaign to capture Philadelphia. These victories were, however, not enough to defeat Washington's armies, and he resigned in 1778 to return to Britain.


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" />
|-|Thomas Jefferson=
Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies’ break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of \"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness\".\n


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" />
|-|Marquis de Lafayette=
Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay. \n \nHe quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.


====Those who Came Before====
|-|Francis Lewis=
[[File:IBAL 16.png|thumb|250px|left|Minerva appearing before Ezio]]
Francis Lewis was a Welsh-born merchant and patriot who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. As a dedicated radical in New York, he served in the Stamp Act Congress and was a member of the Committee of Sixty and the New York Provincial Congress before joining the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779. <br><br>During the Revolutionary War, Lewis utilized his commercial experience to help secure supplies for the Continental Army, particularly through his work on the Continental Board of Admiralty. His commitment to the patriot cause came at a high personal cost. Following the Battle of Long Island in 1776, British forces destroyed his estate in Queens and imprisoned his wife. While she was later released in a prisoner exchange, the harsh conditions of her captivity severely affected her health, leading to her death in 1779. Devastated by his wife's death, Lewis subsequently retired from politics, leaving Congress in 1779 and retiring completely by 1781.
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" />
|-|Hercules Mulligan=
Hercules Mulligan was a vital spy for the Continental Army and a dedicated patriot during the American Revolution. Raised in New York City, he was an early member of the Sons of Liberty and a close associate of Alexander Hamilton, whom he mentored and introduced to revolutionary ideals. Working as a successful tailor, Mulligan cultivated relationships with high-ranking British Officers, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence directly from the enemy. Despite the dangers of operating within British-occupied New York, he operated as a confidential correspondent for George Washington, supplying information that helped shape the war's outcome. <br><br>Mulligan is credited with saving Washington’s life on two occasions by revealing plots to capture him. Even after being suspected of spying and briefly arrested, he continued his intelligence work with the help of his enslaved assistant, Cato. Following the war, Washington solidified Mulligan’s reputation as a patriot by having breakfast with him shortly after the British evacuation of New York.


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'' – [[Mass Exodus]]</ref>
|-|Isaac Sears=
Isaac Sears was the public face of the Sons of Liberty in New York City, the second and perhaps most active chapter in the colonies. He was a prosperous merchant, like so many leaders of the underground rebel group. During the mid-1700s, he made fine income as a privateer, hunting the ships of imperial rivals for the British. Only when the Sugar Act brought an end to his trade in the West Indies did the sea captain turn against Britain. During the revolution he was a member of the Committee of Sixty and was involved in raids on British troops and in the destruction of Loyalist property throughout New York City.


===Siege of Monteriggioni===

{{Dialogue|Mario|I am keeping it safe. The Borgia must not be allowed to breach the walls until everyone is safely away. Insieme per la vittoria!|Ezio|Insieme. Uncle... be careful.|Ezio and his uncle before the siege|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
Anna Smith Strong was the only recorded female member of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret network established to gather intelligence for General George Washington in British-occupied New York. Living in Setauket, Long Island, she utilized her position to pass messages while avoiding suspicion, partly because her relatives were Loyalists. <br><br>Strong’s fame stems from the ingenious clothesline code which she used to signal Caleb Brewster, a courier who transported intelligence across the Long Island Sound. When a message was ready to be picked up, she would hang a black petticoat on her clothesline, clearly visible from across the bay. She would add a specific number of white handkerchiefs to indicate which of the six designated coves Brewster should use to meet his contact.
[[File:Reunion 2 v.png|thumb|250px|Ezio meeting with the other Assassins]]
During the journey with his uncle, Ezio told Mario what he had learned from Minerva, but also found solace in the fact that his own battles were finally at an end. Arriving at the Villa, Claudia informed him that Caterina Sforza was at Monteriggioni to ask his help. Ezio agreed to listen her after visiting the city.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Homecoming]]</ref>


During his time in the village, Ezio helped [[Angelina Ceresa]] to deliver flower for Claudia's birthday party.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[R & R]]</ref> He also captured Mario's favorite horse which escaped from the stable.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Horsing Around]]</ref> While on the wall of the fortress, Ezio shot with the new cannons to train the mercenaries.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Target Practice]]</ref>
|-|George Washington=
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence. \n \nUnanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.
</tabber>


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'' – [[Reunion]]</ref>

;Passing Judgment
You are at Fraunces Tavern. In 1783, as the war came to an end, a joint British and American commission overseen by Brigadier General Birch convened here to review the claims of Black Loyalist ex-slaves seeking freedom and evacuation with the British Army. Boston King was one of these ex slaves. In this memory he presents his case to the panel to obtain a certificate of freedom.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head from City Hall towards Fraunces Tavern.


[[File:Vilified 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Ezio using a cannon during the siege]]
;Historical details
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'' – [[Vilified]]</ref>
In 1783, as the British prepared to evacuate New York at the end of the Revolutionary War, the city became the site of a tense and historic reckoning. During the conflict, British commanders had promised freedom to enslaved people who escaped Patriot owners and joined their lines, and thousands sought refuge in British occupied New York. <br><br>When peace was declared, American officials demanded the return of formerly enslaved people under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. To address the crisis, British authorities convened hearings at Fraunces Tavern, overseen by Brigadier General Samuel Birch. There, formerly enslaved Black Loyalists petitioned to prove they had served the British cause and were entitled to evacuation. These proceedings, later called the Birch trials, required testimony about military service and escape. Those who qualified had their names entered into what became known as the Book of Negroes and were granted passage to Nova Scotia and other parts of the British Empire. <br><br>More than 3,000 ultimately departed New York under British protection. For many, the evacuation marked the beginning of a new and uncertain chapter, but it also represented one of the earliest large scale emancipations in American history, unfolding in the final days of British rule in the city.


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. At the same moment, Ezio was shot by [[arquebusiers]] upon the city walls and fell to the ground.<ref name="Vilified"/>

Arriving at the exterior of the city, Ezio informed his mother and sister that Mario was dead. After ordering them to take refuge in Florence, Ezio began to make his way for Rome. During this journey, however, Ezio passed out and fell from his [[horse]] due to the severity of his wounds.<ref name="Emergency"/>

*Pay Records
Ezio eventually awoke to find his wound being treated by a stranger, [[Margherita dei Campi]],<ref name="Brotherhood novel">[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' novel]]</ref> who told him that he had simply been dropped off at her home by a man who wished for Ezio to meet Niccolò Machiavelli at the [[Mausoleo di Augusto]].<ref name="AGAN">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[As Good As New]]</ref> The man who had brought him there had also supplied him with a new set of Assassin robes.

**[Details] I managed to keep hold of my pay records despite the chaos of the war. Hopefully this will help.\n-\nCharles Town, the 1st Day of August, 1782 Received of the Paymaster of His Majesty’s Forces, the sum of Eight Shillings, being one week’s pay for Boston King, a Negro man employed with the troops in military duty and camp service. \nThe said Boston King having come within the British Lines and since served with the Army, is to receive the above allowance, or the equivalent in provisions, clothing, or other necessaries, as available. \nSigned, Deputy Paymaster\n
**[Boston King comment] These are my pay records from the army.
*Letter from Captain Grey
**[Details] I was given this letter from Captain Grey who I served under in the New York Volunteers.\n-\nI do hereby certify that Boston King, a Negro man, having formerly come within the British Lines in South Carolina, hath for some time served with me in the New York Volunteers, and hath conducted himself with fidelity and good behavior. \nGiven under my hand this fifteenth day of October, 1783. \nCaptain Grey, New York Volunteers\n
**[Boston King comment] I was given this letter from Captain Grey.
*A Herbal Remedy
**[Details] Using powdered yarrow root to help cuts and wounds heal was something that my mother taught me. She was so knowledgeable about herbal remedies having learned from the Native Americans in South Carolina. <br><br>Her literacy and love of learning have been a constant inspiration and I hope one day to be able to write an account of my life.
**[Boston King comment] I carried herbal remedies like this throughout the war.
*My British Uniform
**[Details] Though I started out as a servant to the British officers it wasn't long before I found myself in the uniform of the brave New York Volunteers. <br><br>As a former slave, I was often assigned the most dangerous missions. It was in 1781 when I was sent alone to gather reinforcements when my battalion was under siege at Nelson’s Ferry. I narrowly avoided capture and returned to a hero's welcome.
**[Boston King comment] This is my uniform from the New York Volunteer British regiment.
*Dunmore's Proclamation
**[Details] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me freedom in exchange for the service that I have given as a Loyalist.<br><br>I was a young man when Loyalist forces seized Charlestown in May 1780 and I determined to throw myself into the hands of the English. They received me readily, and I began to feel the happiness of liberty. The impact of the Proclamation has been huge, 500 slaves left the day it was made and over 5,000 have since done so.
**[Boston King comment] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me my freedom.
*My Carpenters Tools
**[Details] I was 16 years old when I first apprenticed to a carpenter. He treated me very cruelly, and I was subject to frequent beating whenever a tool was misplaced. I was fortunate that my previous owner heard of my hardships and came to speak to him about my treatment.<br><br>The skills I learned there, no matter how unpleasantly, have enabled me to work for the British and the cause of my own Liberty\n
**[Boston King comment] These are the tools I used when I was a slave.


====A sadistic executioner====
*'''British Officer:''' [1st question] ''What proof can you bring that you were in His Majesty’s Service or Loyal to the Crown and its officers?''
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. Recalling how his own family had been murdered by injustice at the gallows, Ezio assured the victim that he could empathize with him and that he was free to remove Livia's body while he dealt with Il Carnefice.<ref name="AGAN"/><ref name="Well Executed">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Well Executed]]</ref> Making his way up to Il Carnefice's abode on the nearby hill, Ezio assassinated him before continuing on his way to meet with Machiavelli.<ref name="Well Executed"/>
*'''British Officer:''' [1st answer] ''Very good. Your service in the British Army is ample evidence.''
*'''British Officer:''' [2nd question] ''Have you evidence to confirm your arrival at his Majesty's garrison prior to November, 1782?''
*'''British Officer:''' [2nd answer] ''Yes, that pay record demonstrates when you were serving.''
*'''British Officer:''' [3rd question] ''Can you show that you are not known to be a man of bad behavior?''
*'''British Officer:''' [3rd answer] ''Captain Grey clearly declares you of good character.''


====Tour with Machiavelli====
*'''British Officer:''' [Some wrong] ''I think that's just enough evidence to get that certificate.''
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'' – [[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"/>.
*'''British Officer:''' [All correct] ''Congratulations Sir. Your service qualifies you for a Certificate of Freedom.''


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" />
;Outcome
*Certificate of Freedom
In September 1783, Boston King was declared free and forever emancipated by order of Sir Guy Carleton. He was permitted to depart with the Black Loyalists for Nova Scotia.  


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'' – [[Easy Come, Easy Go]]</ref>
;Log
I presented my case to the Birch trials panel at Fraunces Tavern.\nI obtained a certificate of freedom and was able to leave with the evacuating British.


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'' – [[Who's Got Mail?]]</ref>
|-|Cannons=
;Defending the Hudson
Near this spot, in 1776 the Battery fortifications overlooked the Hudson. At the time, American forces had taken control of New York, and the British Navy blockaded the harbor. Join the soldiers at the Battery under the command of Rufus Putnam, man the cannon, and do what you can to stop the British ships coming up the river. <br><br>Enter the revolutionary era Battery fort and take up your position at a cannon.


====Ambushed by the Followers of Romulus====
;Historical details
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'' – [[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'' – [[The Halls of Nero]]</ref>
By the summer of 1776, revolutionary forces controlled Manhattan, but the harbor told a different story. Hundreds of British ships filled New York Harbor, carrying tens of thousands of soldiers in the largest amphibious invasion of the eighteenth century. <br><br>General George Washington had cannons dragged into position near here to stop the British ships. On October 17, lookouts spotted HMS Phoenix and HMS Rose pushing up the Hudson. American batteries opened fire, but the ships broke through with little damage. Panic spread across the city, and Washington’s supply and communication lines were suddenly exposed. The Revolution in New York began not with victory, but with uncertainty and fear, as the city became the central battleground of the war.


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. Ezio gave him the letter from the messenger but it was ciphered. The Assassins then decided to make some allies. Machiavelli informed Ezio they could use the [[Tunnel|tunnels]] of the city to be undetectable will joining their first ally.<ref name="Underground">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Roman Underground]]</ref>
;Instructions
====The campaign begins====
Objective
[[File:Roman Underground 3.png|thumb|250px|Ezio conversing with Niccolò and Fabio]]
Under the command of Rufus Putnam, you must man a cannon at the Battery and shoot the British ships as they attempt to sail up the Hudson River.
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'' – [[High-Stakes Negotiation]]</ref>
Aiming and Firing
Drag the slider at the bottom of the screen to aim the cannon.<br><br>Tap the fire button to fire.


Gathering the funds necessary, Ezio made his way to the kidnappers' location, only to be double-crossed. Madonna Solari was killed, and the Cento Occhi attacked Ezio. Ezio survived the ambush and returned to the Rosa in Fiore to discover his mother and sister there. With no one to lead them, the courtesans turned to Claudia Auditore to act as their Madam, with a very reluctant Ezio agreeing to her appointment. He also tasked her with retrieving Caterina Sforza.<ref name="High-Stakes Negotiation" />
Reloading
After each shot, you must reload. Tap on the screen when the triangle touches the bar to load, then repeat to ram and prime the cannon.


Ezio helped his sister and mother develop the brothel, protecting the courtesans who were targeted by the Borgia and killing the ambassadors working for the Templars. He beat Madonna Solari's brother [[Santino Solari|Santino]] to reclaim the Rosa in Fiore and expelled the courtesan [[Giuletta]] who was a mole for the Borgia.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Property Dispute]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Running Scared]]</ref>
;What happens
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [Start] ''Stand and ready your guns. The Phoenix will come from the left!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [first shot] ''If they get past our fortifications, they will be able to cut our supply and communication lines.''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [first reload] ''Take your time and make the shots count. America is watching your aim!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [second ship] ''Look to your left, there is the Rose. Focus on her and aim for the waterline!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [third ship] ''There is another on the left! We're cutting them up, but I'm not sure it's going to be enough.''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [ships out of view] ''Good shooting. Hopefully the batteries further upriver will be able to finish the job.''


Arriving at the [[Caserma di Alviano]], Ezio met Bartolomeo d'Alviano who introduced his wife [[Pantasilea Baglioni]]. While Bartolomeo said that his mercenaries had no difficulties fighting the Templar forces, Pantasilea revealed that her husband hid the truth as they were under attack by the [[French Army]]. She tasked Ezio with assassinating the Borgia captain of the district to let her husband focus on the [[France|French]]. After stealthy killing the captain and burning the tower, Ezio met again with Bartolomeo to ask for his help against the Templars. The Condottiero agreed but asked Ezio to help him to renovate the barracks.<ref name="Between a Rock and a Hard Place">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Between a Rock and a Hard Place]]</ref>
;Outcome
*Hudson Breached!
Despite your efforts, the British ships have broken through and sailed up the Hudson. The batteries further up the river will have to stop them now.


Later, as the Caserma di Alviano was reconstructed, Bartolomeo recruited more mercenaries. Ezio asked them to monitor Cesare and Rodrigo Borgia. Pantasilea informed Ezio that Machiavelli had made a list of targets that he sent through [[Pigeon coop]]. Ezio began to accomplish these contracts to help the Brotherhood.<ref name="Between a Rock and a Hard Place"/>
;Log
At the Battery I took control of a cannon and tried to stop the British ships coming up the river.\nDespite my best efforts and some good shooting I couldn't stop the British Navy.


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. As Ezio refused to believe him, La Volpe led Ezio to a secret meeting where a Borgia guard gave a document to Machiavelli. As Machiavelli left the place, a group of thieves attacked the guards. As the young thief [[Claudio]] was hurt, Ezio and La Volpe intervened to save him. After killing the guards, Ezio helped Claudio leave the area by hiding in the crowd as they were highly searched.<ref name="Double Agent">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Double Agent]]</ref>
|-|House=
;Colonial House
Not far from here, in 1781, British officers were billeted in the grand houses lining Broadway during the occupation of New York. Join Washington's Culper Spy Ring and use your role working in one of these houses to secretly gather information that could help the war.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head down revolutionary era Broadway towards a British occupied house.


Returning to La Volpe, Ezio told him that Machiavelli wasn't a traitor and that he must have an explication for what they saw. The thief reluctantly accepted to help Ezio. Together they bought an old building to install the Thieves' Guild and renovated as an inn known as [[La Volpe Addormentata]]. Through this building, they could collect information from the Borgia guards who drank there while also taking their money through gambling games. As the guild was well installed, Ezio tasked La Volpe with searching for information on the location of the Apple of Eden.<ref name="Double Agent"/> La Volpe also informed Ezio that the guild was being attacked constantly by the Cento Occhi.
;Historical details
Between 1776 and 1783 New York became a center of espionage! The most famous American spy network, known as the Culper Ring, reported directly to George Washington and relied on informants across the region. British officers were often billeted in private homes, living alongside civilian families, which blurred the line between public war and private life. While American men such as the merchant and tailor Hercules Mulligan played important roles, much of the intelligence gathering depended on women, both free and enslaved, whose daily work allowed them to move through the city with less suspicion. <br><br>Domestic labor placed women in kitchens, parlors, markets, and streets where British officers spoke openly. They could observe troop movements, overhear conversations, and quietly pass along information through coded messages and trusted couriers. In a city filled with checkpoints and patrols, ordinary routines became acts of resistance. In occupied New York, intelligence gathered inside homes and boarding houses helped shape Washington’s decisions and influence the course of the war.


====Aiding Copernicus====
;Instructions
{{Quote|If the Borgia are involved, then so am I.|Ezio, after noticing the guards attack Copernicus.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
Objective
In 1500, while passing the Campidoglio, Ezio noticed a scholar by the name of [[Nicolaus Copernicus]] giving a strange speech to the Roman citizens. After having asked another spectator about the man's identity, he learned that the man came from the Vatican, though spoke contrary to the Church's teachings.<ref name="False Censorship">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''[[Copernicus Conspiracy]]'' – [[False Censorship]]</ref>
Agent 355, a member of Washington's Culper Ring, secretly gathered information on the British for the Revolution. <br><br>Search through the house and carefully gather important military intelligence from amongst the soldiers' items.


Ezio soon saw a battalion of Borgia guards attack Copernicus, and swiftly stepped in to defend him.<ref name="False Censorship"/> Afterward, the two men introduced themselves to one another, with Copernicus admitting to having been a Templar himself until he disagreed with the other Templars on keeping the findings of his scientific experiments hidden from the public.<ref name="Out of Orbit">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''Copernicus Conspiracy'' – [[Out of Orbit]]</ref>
Detection
Your presence must go unnoticed. Avoid creaky floorboards and don't spend too long in the room, or suspicion will grow.\nWatch the suspicion indicator on your screen. If it fills up, it will be too dangerous to continue and the mission will end.


[[File:ACB-Out of Orbit 5.png|thumb|left|250px|Copernicus giving Ezio the letters]]
Crucial Intel
Upon hearing that more Borgia guards were looking for Copernicus, they quickly left the Campidoglio and went looking for a hideout. Evading the Borgia guards, Ezio found shelter for Copernicus in a small house in the [[Antico District]], next to the Colosseum.<ref name="Out of Orbit"/>
Tap on highlighted items around the room to inspect them.<br><br>Review the information and only take relevant intel as each piece you take will raise your suspicion meter.


Once they were safe, Copernicus realized that his fellow scholars would be in danger as well, and asked Ezio to deliver a letter of warning to each of them. Despite being insecure on whether to trust Copernicus or not, Ezio agreed to deliver the letters.<ref name="Out of Orbit"/>
;What happens
Items:
*Fuel request
This letter details the problems of getting suitable firewood. Soldiers sent out of the city to source it were ambushed by revolutionary troops. The letter contains a request to requisition additional supplies for the stores as the weather grows colder.<br><br>This is proof of the effectiveness of our current strategy.
*Troop distribution
This is a dispatch detailing the movement of several hundred soldiers from the city to the Caribbean to deal with unrest there. <br><br>The weakening of the defenses in New York could prove essential intelligence for General Washington and his aim of retaking the city.
*Pass to New York
This is an official military pass granting the bearer the ability to leave the city and travel through the checkpoints in the surrounding area. <br><br>With the city under the control of the British Army, all movement of people in and out is carefully controlled - this could be a great help to our spies in the city.
*Map of Westpoint
This is a military plan of our defenses at West Point. It shows the defenses and the chain used to obstruct British navigation of the Hudson. <br><br>This may be normal planning, but it could also signal that General Washington is correct and the British do plan to attack!
*Rivingtons paper
Ha, it's not surprising that they are reading the Royal Gazette. <br><br>Rivington is nothing more than the King's mouthpiece and I'm sure these soldiers lap up his lies.
*A shopping list
Tobacco, soap, leather blacking, claret, new stockings...  <br><br>This is nothing more than the shopping list of one of the officers. We'll not gain any insights from this.
*A letter home
I hope the house is faring well. Please send my kind respects to my loving Wife & Child and all Enquiring friends... <br><br>A letter home from one of the officers here will not help us. I hope he can deliver it in person when he departs!


Ezio travelled across the [[Centro District]], handing letters to several scholars, and managing to reach most of them in time.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''Copernicus Conspiracy'' – [[Intelligentsia]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''Copernicus Conspiracy'' – [[Honorary Degree]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''Copernicus Conspiracy'' – [[Expedited Post]]</ref> He returned to Copernicus in the countryside, who told him that the [[Master of the Sacred Palace]], a priest appointed by the Pope to ensure that Roman religious philosophy remained pure, was most likely the person responsible for the attacks.<ref name="Man in Red">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''Copernicus Conspiracy'' – [[Man in Red]]</ref>

Ezio followed a [[cardinal]] roaming nearby, who eventually led him to the Master. Eavesdropping on their conversation, Ezio found out that the Master had sent his best men to kill the scholars whom Ezio had delivered the letters to, and he quickly rushed to save them.<ref name="Man in Red"/> Ezio successfully managed to assassinate all of the hired men, and returned to Copernicus.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''Copernicus Conspiracy'' – [[Sitting Ducks]]</ref>

*'''Agent 355:''' [Start] ''I'm going to need to be as silent as the grave or I might just end up in one.''
He informed Copernicus that his suspicions were correct, and warned him of his own safety, but Copernicus forewent caution, as he wanted to chronicle an eclipse that night. Ezio set off once again, with the intention of killing the Master.<ref name="Close the Book">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''Copernicus Conspiracy'' – [[Close the Book]]</ref>
*'''Agent 355:''' [Floorboard] ''I need to watch out for creaky floorboards!''

*'''Agent 355:''' [Good intel] ''That's exactly what we need. With this Washington will be able to outwit them all.''
*'''Agent 355:''' [end] ''I can't risk anything more, or they are sure to find me.''
*'''Agent 355:''' [End all gathered] ''I think I've found everything of use!''


Ezio found the Master and killed him with his Hidden Blade, and with his dying breath, the Master revealed that he had already sent his best man to kill Copernicus. Ezio quickly set off to where Copernicus would research the eclipse and arrived just in time to kill the assassin.<ref name="Close the Book"/>
;Outcome
*Intel Gathered
This is the intel vital for the revolutionary cause. Gathered from under the noses of the British Officers.


As they looked up at the eclipse together, Copernicus revealed to Ezio that the sun was most likely the midpoint of the universe, contrary to common belief that it was the Earth. Copernicus thanked Ezio for his aid, and they went their separate ways.<ref name="Close the Book"/>

After receiving intelligence reports from Claudia, La Volpe and Bartolomeo indicating that Caterina Sforza was being held in the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]], Ezio departed to rescue her, though not before Niccolò demanded that, given the chance, he prioritize killing Cesare and Rodrigo.<ref name="Collective Intelligence">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Collective Intelligence]]</ref>

;Historical details
Infiltrating the stronghold in 1501,<ref name="Castello Crasher">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Castello Crasher]]</ref> Ezio scaled the fortress' double walls and apprehended [[Lucrezia Borgia]], who was holding the keys to Caterina's cell.<ref name="Femme Fatale">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Femme Fatale]]</ref> From there Ezio and Caterina escaped, making sure that they remained undetected until they reached the stables.<ref name="The Burdens We Carry">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[The Burdens We Carry]]</ref> They fled across the [[Ponte Sant'Angelo]], and Ezio ordered Caterina to ride on as he dealt with the pursuing guards.

In August 1776, nearly 9,000 soldiers evacuated Manhattan in small boats. The Revolution had nearly collapsed. British forces overwhelmed the Continental Army on Long Island in the largest battle of the war. By August 29, George Washington and thousands of soldiers were trapped in Brooklyn, pinned against the East River with the Royal Navy blocking escape. If the army were captured, the rebellion might end before it had truly begun. <br><br>As night fell, a daring plan took shape. Under cover of darkness and aided by a thick fog that rolled in before dawn, soldiers began evacuating across the river in small boats. Experienced mariners from the region, including White, Black, and Native seafarers, quietly ferried troops to Manhattan while British warships sat unaware in the harbor. All night long, men, horses, and supplies crossed the water in near silence. <br><br>By morning, thousands of soldiers had escaped without detection. It was not a battlefield victory, but it was decisive. The survival of Washington’s army ensured that the Revolution would continue, and New York became the setting for one of the war’s most dramatic escapes.


Returning to his base of operations, Ezio decided that in order to free Rome from its Borgia oppression, he needed to involve those who were being oppressed. Despite Niccolò's protests, the two agreed to begin recruiting citizens of Rome into Ezio's new Brotherhood, so that the [[liberation of Rome]] could begin.<ref name="Man of the People">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Man of the People]]</ref>

Within a year, Ezio had turned a number of Rome's citizens into [[Assassin apprentices]],<ref name="Man of the People" /> and had adopted several existing members of the Order into his guild, such as [[Francesco Vecellio]], whose [[Perotto Calderon|former master]] had betrayed the Order.<ref name="Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>


The apprentices fought and trained alongside Ezio, and undertook missions to aid their fellow Assassins in cities across Europe and beyond, including [[Calicut]], India.

Eventually, Ezio received a surprise visit from his old friend Leonardo da Vinci, who informed him that he had been pressed into providing the Borgia with various forms of advanced weaponry and [[War Machine]]s. Leonardo promised to provide Ezio with the tools necessary to destroy his weapons, albeit at a small monetary cost. Ezio agreed and managed to demolish all of Leonardo's machines in his war against the Borgia.<ref name="An Unexpected Visitor">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[An Unexpected Visitor]]</ref>

Ezio met with Niccolò, La Volpe, Claudia, and Caterina in the Assassin hideout, where they discussed their plans to attack the Borgia. Ezio asked them for the source of Cesare's funds, to which La Volpe replied that Cesare had his own personal banker, whose identity was unknown, as he was only referred to as "the Banker".<ref name="The Plan">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[The Plan]]</ref>


Additionally, Ezio revealed that he intended to kill the French general, [[Octavian de Valois]], so that Cesare would lose the protection of his foreign allies. La Volpe also remarked that there was a side entrance into the Castel Sant'Angelo that Ezio could use and that Lucrezia's lover [[Pietro Rossi]] had a key to enter it.<ref name="The Plan"/>

Upon leaving the hideout, Ezio noticed Caterina about to leave on horseback; she said that she was of no good to anyone without Forlì in her possession and that she wanted to be with her children in Florence. Despite Ezio's request for her to stay, Caterina left Rome.<ref name="The Plan"/>

[[File:Follow money 1.png|thumb|250px|Ezio handing the money to Egidio]]
|-|Fire=
Ezio met Claudia in the Rosa in Fiore, and she told him that senator [[Egidio Troche]] frequently came into the brothel to complain about his debts to the Banker and that he could be found at the Campidoglio. Hearing several men on the Campidoglio talking about Egidio making failed attempts to get finances, Ezio eventually found him under attack of Borgia guards and rescued him.<ref name="Escape From Debt">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Escape From Debt]]</ref>
;Fire Suspects
In 1783, with the British still in control of New York, Sir Guy Carleton commissioned an investigation into the causes of the devastating fire of 1776. The inquiry brought officers to this very spot you are now standing on to question those present at the time. Speak to people present at the time of the fire, help prepare an investigation, and accuse someone of being the cause.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York that were destroyed by the fire and begin questioning the suspects.


Together, they went through the district looking for a safe place for Egidio to hide out in. Finally, Egidio found shelter in the home of his brother [[Francesco Troche|Francesco]], who was angry at Egidio for warning the ambassador of Venice of Cesare's plans for Romagna.<ref name="Escape From Debt"/>
;Historical details
On September 20, 1776, just days after British forces captured New York, a massive fire broke out and spread rapidly across lower Manhattan. Fueled by wooden buildings and strong winds, the flames destroyed nearly one fifth of the city. Churches, homes, warehouses, and vital infrastructure were reduced to ashes. <br><br>As autumn approached, thousands of residents including Loyalists, British soldiers, formerly enslaved people seeking refuge, and civilians caught between loyalties were left homeless. Much of the city became a patchwork of tents and temporary shelters, reshaping life in British occupied New York for the rest of the war. Suspicion quickly followed. British authorities arrested several individuals, accusing revolutionaries of setting the blaze to sabotage the occupation. <br><br>In 1783, just weeks before evacuating the city, Commander in Chief Sir Guy Carleton ordered another investigation. Officials reported possible incendiary evidence and conflicting eyewitness testimony, but no definitive cause was proven. Historians continue to debate whether the fire was accidental or deliberate. The Great Fire of 1776 remains one of the most destructive disasters in New York’s history and a stark reminder that the Revolution unfolded not only in battles, but in a city divided by fear and uncertainty.


Egidio was willing to aid Ezio, telling him that the Borgia guards usually led him to the Banker, and that he needed money to meet with them.<ref name="Escape From Debt" /> Ezio brought him the required amount of florins, and Egidio met with the guards, while Ezio followed them from above.<ref name="Follow the Money">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Follow the Money]]</ref>
;Instructions
Objective
You must investigate and decide upon who caused the great fire of New York for the Carleton Commission. Do this by questioning three key suspects.


[[File:In Rome 4.png|thumb|left|250px|Disguised Ezio handing over the chest]]
Talking
Eventually, they arrived at the [[Pantheon]], where the money was given to the Borgia captain [[Luigi Torcelli]]. Ezio infiltrated the Pantheon via the roof and killed Luigi, taking his clothes and impersonating him.<ref name="Follow the Money" /> Together with two Borgia guards, Ezio was able to carry the money to the right location—a feast Cesare was throwing in celebration of his conquests—and passed the chest of money on to the next guard.<ref name="When in Rome...">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[When in Rome...]]</ref>
The key suspects are: British General William Howe, American General George Washington, and New York fire chief John Baltus Dash.<br><br>Tap on them to ask questions and learn about the fire.


Ezio was given entry to the party, but the guards soon found out that Luigi had been killed in the Pantheon, and they went out looking for Ezio. However, with the aid of Claudia's courtesans, he was able to remain undetected while following the chest carrier to the party.<ref name="In and Out">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[In and Out]]</ref>
New information
Each new piece of information unlocks further lines of questioning.


Once there, Ezio overheard the Banker introduce himself as [[Juan Borgia the Elder|Juan Borgia]] to a courtesan. Ezio followed them both to where Cesare was giving a speech. Ezio avoided the patrolling guards and took a seat on a bench, killing Juan Borgia as he passed him.<ref name="In and Out" />
Notes
Tap the notes icon at any time to re-examine any of the suspects' answers.


Ezio escaped and returned to the Rosa in Fiore, where a group of courtesans who had stolen the chest of money cried out that the Borgia guards had followed them to the brothel and that they had gone after Claudia and Maria. Ezio rushed inside, only to find out that Claudia had already killed all the Borgia guards by herself using a knife.<ref name="Paper Trail">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Paper Trail]]</ref>

When you feel you have enough information to make a conclusion you can accuse one of the suspects of causing the fire by tapping on them and selecting 'Accuse'.


====Battle with the French====

*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''I'm John Baltus Dash, a veteran firefighter. I worked to protect the city during the fire. I managed to protect much of the city from the fire, including St Paul's.''
Following the Banker's death, Ezio travelled to Bartolomeo d'Alviano's barracks and met with the condotierro and his wife, just before the barracks were attacked by a French army under the command of [[Octavian de Valois]], a Templar working with Cesare Borgia. Although the Assassin mercenary army was able to beat back the French with Ezio's help, Pantasilea was captured by the Baron in the midst of battle. Despite having put up a valiant defense of his barracks, Bartolomeo saw no feasible way that he could secure his wife's safety short of surrendering; Ezio however, had another idea.<ref name="Gatekeeper">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Gatekeeper]]</ref>

*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Howe?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''His men often act like drunken louts. I've seen badly attended cook fires that got out of control.''


Infiltrating the fortress, Bartolomeo and Ezio came face to face with the Baron, who very nearly killed Pantasilea, had not Ezio interrupted him with a shot from his Hidden Gun. Battle soon broke out, and with Bartolomeo's mercenaries engaging the French forces, Ezio was free to pursue the Baron and Pantasilea, eventually freeing her and killing him.<ref name="Au Revoir">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Au Revoir]]</ref>
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Washington?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''I heard that Washington was talking about how he wanted the city to burn down.''


====Securing the keys to the Castel====
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the buildings that were destroyed?''
{{Quote|It is time to pay a visit to Lucrezia's lover, Pietro.|Ezio on obtaining the key to the Castel.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''The British soldiers helped take out some buildings to stop the spread of the fire. Without that I think the other half of the city would be gone.''
Not long after his victory over the Baron de Valois, Ezio travelled once more to La Volpe Addormentata, where he and La Volpe discussed the latter's suspicion that Niccolò had betrayed the Assassins by guiding the Papal Army to Monteriggioni, and by informing Rodrigo and Cesare to stay away from the Castel during Ezio's infiltration. Ezio disagreed, but promised to look into the presence of a traitor.<ref name="Patching the Leak">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Patching the Leak]]</ref>


La Volpe informed Ezio that Pietro Rossi, an actor and Lucrezia Borgia's lover, had the key to the Castel and that Cesare intended to kill Pietro over his feelings for Lucrezia.<ref name="Patching the Leak" /> Locating Cesare at one of the city gates, Ezio witnessed the assassination of Francesco Troche, brother of Egidio, by Cesare's personal assassin [[Micheletto Corella]].<ref name="Calling All Stand-Ins">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Calling All Stand-Ins]]</ref>
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the incendiaries that were found?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''There were incendiaries scattered all over. Whoever did this wanted to start the fire in multiple spots at once.''


Ezio then tailed Micheletto, who was to infiltrate the play that Pietro would appear in and kill him. As he followed him, Ezio had his apprentices discreetly replace the guards Micheletto tasked with partaking in the murder.<ref name="Calling All Stand-Ins" />
*'''Player:''' ''How do you explain your hidden stash of valuables?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''Of course I knew the fire was coming. The whole place is a tinderbox. Why wouldn't I hide my valuables?''


[[File:Intervention 4.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio apprehending Paganino]]
Eventually, Micheletto arrived at the site of the play, the Colosseum.<ref name="Calling All Stand-Ins" /> Climbing up the outside of the structure, Ezio made his way down from the roof to the backstage area below, picking off Micheletto's marksmen as he went. Ezio soon struck Micheletto but spared his life when he learned that Pietro had been poisoned previously, as a means of insurance.<ref name="Exit Stage Right">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Exit Stage Right]]</ref>


Ezio hurried from the Colosseum with Pietro in his arms, while his apprentices covered the retreat. After handing Pietro over to a doctor and receiving the key to the Castel from him, Ezio spotted [[Paganino]], a member of the Venetian thieves guild who had been present at the siege of Monteriggioni.<ref name="Intervention">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Intervention]]</ref>
*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Howe.''
*'''William Howe:''' ''I'm William Howe, a British general. I am the commander-in-chief of the British Army in North America in charge of New York.''


When approached, Paganino ran and Ezio gave chase. Ezio quickly caught him and reasoned that he was in fact the traitor, not Niccolò. Paganino pressed Ezio's Hidden Blade into his own throat to kill himself rather than risk divulging anymore information. Ezio raced back to Tiber Island to stop La Volpe from killing Niccolò.<ref name="Intervention" />
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Dash?''
*'''William Howe:''' ''I saw him burying his valuables before the fires even broke out. It's very suspicious, like he knew the fire was coming, but he didn't warn anyone.''


[[File:Ascension 5.png|thumb|250px|Ezio being promoted to Mentor]]
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Washington?''
Later meeting with La Volpe inside the Tiber Island hideout, Ezio ordered him to gather the Assassins and bring Claudia as well. They gathered in the ceremony hall, and there Ezio offered Claudia a chance to join the Order, just as the others of their family had. She agreed and was inducted into the Order.<ref name="Ascension">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Ascension]]</ref>
*'''William Howe:''' ''That man was definitely up to something. He had all the bells removed from the city. It meant that when the fire broke out, my men weren't alerted until later. I think he planned it!''


At the time, Niccolò also decided to step down from leading the Order and to promote Ezio to the position of Mentor, realizing that Ezio was both a better leader and "exactly what the Order needed". Ezio, in turn, appointed Niccolò as his trusted adviser, who then recommended he finish what he started. Ezio consented and left for the Castel Sant'Angelo.<ref name="Ascension" />
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the badly attended cook fires?''
*'''William Howe:''' ''My men's training is exceptional, and they are the finest infantry in the world. Sometimes they like to drink and rough house. It's not caused any real issues before.''


====Fall of the Borgia====
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the plundering that took place?''

*'''William Howe:''' ''That's a serious accusation. I sincerely hope you have substantial evidence of my men doing such a thing. Before you continue to repeat those rumors.''
[[File:Apple a day 7.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio giving Rodrigo last rites]]
With Cesare's supporters in Rome dead, the Brotherhood and its allies were in command of the city. 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'' – [[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'' – [[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" />


[[File:Roads lead to 3.png|thumb|250px|The Assassins making their final stand against Cesare]]
*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Washington.''
Ezio arrived at St. Peter's Basilica and took possession of the Apple before Cesare, with just moments to spare. Cesare arrived with a sizable contingent of Papal soldiers, though Ezio managed to escape them.<ref name="The Apple of Eden">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[The Apple of Eden]]</ref> Over the next few months, and with the help of his fellow Assassins, Ezio used the Apple to completely destroy what little support Cesare still had in Rome.<ref name="Demilitarization">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Demilitarization]]</ref><ref name="Seeing Red">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – [[Seeing Red]]</ref>
*'''George Washington:''' ''I'm George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army.''


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'' – [[All Roads Lead To...]]</ref>
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Dash?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''All the water buckets had their handles cut off. Shoddy handling and protecting of his equipment. What is he playing at?''


[[File:Roads lead to 6.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio and Leonardo looking into the Apple]]
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Howe?''
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..."/>
*'''George Washington:''' ''His men were plundering houses the flames hadn't even reached yet! Not to mention the amount of patriots they've arrested under the guise of this \"fire\". Clearly they did this to line their own pockets and lower our numbers.''


===Chasing Cesare===
*'''Player:''' ''How do you feel about the fire?''
{{Dialogue2|Captain|Cesare’s escaped!|Ezio|When?|The guards were being changed. About half an hour ago.|Ezio discovering Cesare's escape|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)}}
*'''George Washington:''' ''I don't deny that I am pleased the city has burnt down. The loyalists have done us a great service; however, it was not me that did it.''
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"/>
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the church bells that were removed?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''Yes, I had the bells moved to be melted down into cannons. But that was planned months ago; it has nothing to do with the fires.''


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"/>
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the buildings that were destroyed?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''Those loyalists were smashing perfectly good houses to bits. The flames weren't anywhere near them!''


====Councilor to the Pope====

*Accused: John Baltus Dash
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"/>
You have accused the Fire Chief of starting the fire. He buried his own valuables before the fire broke out, suggesting he knew what was coming, and, despite being a known loyalist, he didn't inform the British. His behavior is suspicious, but the evidence is circumstantial and not conclusive.
*Accused: General William Howe
You have accused the British forces of causing the fire, either through malice or incompetence. While British troops were seen looting buildings and numerous Revolutionary supporters were later arrested, the evidence against them remains circumstantial and inconclusive.
*Accused: General George Washington
You have accused the Revolutionary forces of being involved in deliberately starting the fire. General Washington's outspoken desire to deny the British the city, the presence of unexploded incendiaries, and the removal of church bells by American soldiers all point to planned sabotage - but the evidence remains circumstantial and inconclusive.


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"/>

On their way to meet Giulia, Ezio and Niccolò noticed they were being followed by someone and had been since leaving Vanozza's palazzo.

;Historical details
The Revolution was almost lost, not with a grand battle or cunning act of espionage, but with a shortage of supplies. When George Washington took command in 1775, he discovered the evolutionary army had a critical shortage of supplies. The shortages included food, clothing, and weaponry, however the most critical was with Gunpowder. With only 38 barrels of gunpowder, equivalent to just nine rounds per soldier, in the stores they were almost unable to fight the British. <br><br>America lacked the natural deposits of saltpeter that was needed to create their own and as a result they were reliant on imports, largely from their allies in France. These supplies were largely shipped across the Atlantic then via French colonies in the Caribbean. These routes sought to avoid the British blockades and seizures, a process that required a deep understanding of international shipping. <br><br>The newly formed American army turned to people like Francis Lewis, successful merchants who has taken up the patriot cause despite the risks to both their life and fortunes. This approach saw moderate success and led to several crucial clandestine shipments reaching America in 1777, supplies that enabled the army to engage in some of the most important early battles.

Objective
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"/>

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"/>

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.

;Outcome
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"/>
*Supplies delivered safely!
Following your course, the ship delivered supplies to our Revolutionary forces in America. <br><br>With General Washington's supplies running dangerously low due to British blockades, this delivery could prove vital to the ongoing fight. Well done.


Before making their way to Naples, Ezio and Niccolò decided to abandon the Apple where it had requested.

After Parliament repealed the Stamp Act, New Yorkers marked the moment by raising what became known as a liberty pole on the Common, near where British soldiers drilled. \nIn the 1760s, new British taxes and trade regulations had sparked fierce protests, especially among maritime workers and laborers who felt the economic strain most directly. The streets were a battleground.<br><br>The tall white pine mast, timber normally reserved for Royal Navy ships, rose above the barracks with a flag proclaiming liberty. It was meant to provoke. British troops and Loyalists repeatedly cut the pole down, and each time supporters of the Patriot cause raised another. <br><br> The conflict escalated into street fighting known as the Battle of Golden Hill, often described as the first bloodshed of the Revolution in New York. During the later British occupation, liberty poles continued to appear as symbols of resistance. Some were reinforced with metal bands or greased to prevent soldiers from climbing them. These towering masts were more than protest signs. They were bold declarations that even under imperial authority, many New Yorkers refused to surrender the idea of self government.

[[File:A Roll of the Dice 3.png|thumb|thumb|left|250px|Ezio and Leonardo looking at the unfinished [[Mona Lisa]]]]
Objective
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'' – ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]'' – [[A Roll of the Dice]]</ref>
The Sons of Liberty, alongside the famous revolutionary Hercules Mulligan designed and erected a Liberty Pole at this spot. <br><br>Join in and declare your defiance against British rule.


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"/>

[[File:A Roll of the Dice 4.png|thumb|250px|Ezio meeting Salaì in La Volpe Addormentata]]
Finalizing
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"/>
When you have finished designing, tap on the check mark on the paper at the bottom of the easel to finalize your Liberty Pole.


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"/>
;What happens
*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [start] ''Let's show those British clods that we'll not be cowed. Raise our Liberty Pole high and proud.''

*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [end] ''With every flag flown and every voice calling out in dissent, the support for the cause grows, my friend.''


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"/>
;Outcome
*Liberty Pole Raised!
You successfully raised a Liberty Pole in front of the British barracks, sending a clear message to the occupying forces. It may be cut down, but a new one will be raised in its place.


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"/>

;Nine Men's Morris
[[File:The One Who Got Away 8.png|250px|thumb|left|Ezio seducing Lucrezia inside Delizia di Belriguardo]]
1779 New York, occupied by the British, was torn apart by war, its streets shared uneasily by loyalists, patriots, and those caught somewhere in between. Take a moment's respite from the simmering tensions to sit here at City Hall Park, and play Nine Men's Morris with people with differing opinions on the war.<br><br>Enter the streets and taverns of revolutionary era New York to find a game.
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'' – ''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"/>
;Historical details
Nine Men’s Morris was a popular strategy game during the American Revolution and was played by soldiers and civilians alike. Boards were scratched into stone tavern tables, barrack walls, and public spaces across New York. Taverns and coffee houses were central gathering places where people shared news, argued politics, and passed the time. The rules of the game were simple: place your pieces carefully, block your opponent, and trap them until they could no longer move. But the strategy required patience and calculation. <br><br>In the 1770s, New Yorkers were engaged in a far more dangerous contest. Debates over Parliament’s taxes and British authority filled these same public spaces. When talk turned to independence, the city divided. Some residents still considered themselves British and supported the Crown. Others were uncertain, worried about challenging the world’s most powerful empire. Many favored resistance but disagreed about whether armed conflict was the answer. Class, occupation, faith, and neighborhood shaped opinion, and choosing a side carried real risk. Like Nine Men’s Morris, the struggle for New York required careful moves. One wrong decision could leave you exposed in a city where politics, loyalty, and survival were deeply intertwined.


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"/>
;Instructions
Objective
As a keen Nine Men's Morris player, you must play against an opponent of your choosing. <br><br>Playing against different people will let you learn about life in New York during the occupation.


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'' – ''The Da Vinci Disappearance'' – [[Memento Mori]]</ref>
Placement
You and your opponent will take turns placing a man anywhere on the board. You both have a total of nine men each.


[[File:Bon Voyage 5.png|thumb|thumb|250px|Ezio interrogating Duccio]]
Mills
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'' – ''The Da Vinci Disappearance'' – [[Bon Voyage]]</ref>
If a player creates a 'mill', by placing three of their men in a straight, non-diagonal row, they can remove one of their opponent's men that are not already in a mill. Mills can be made in any phase so watch where your opponent is placing their men and be sure to block any mills; otherwise, your men will be removed.


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"/>
Movement
Once all pieces have been placed, players can move them one at a time by tapping on the piece they wish to move and shifting it into an adjacent empty space.


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"/>
Flying
Once a player is down to three men, they can fly by moving their man to any empty space on the board.


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"/>
Victory / defeat
Once a player is down to two men or unable to move, the other player wins.

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'' – ''The Da Vinci Disappearance'' – [[Last Minute Invite]]</ref><ref name="The Ezio Auditore Affair">''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' – ''The Da Vinci Disappearance'' – [[The Ezio Auditore Affair]]</ref>

[[File:Decoding Da Vinci 4.png|thumb|250px|Ezio and Salaì looking at the map leading to the Pythagorean temple]]
Hard (Rebel):
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'' – ''The Da Vinci Disappearance'' – [[Decoding Da Vinci]]</ref>
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [start] ''Fancy a game do you, chum?''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [placed] ''Washington and his forces are a-coming to take the city. Mark me they will march down Broadstreet soon.''

*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [end] ''Well played.''


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"/>

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.

|-|Press=
;Printing Pressure
You are standing on Hanover Square where printers used to work in the many buildings around this area. In 1775 tensions between Loyalists and Patriots were running high.  Printers were publishing the latest news arriving into the city on the packet ships. Take to the printing press, assemble different articles, and print your newspaper.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head towards the Hanover Square print shop.


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"/>
;Historical details
By the mid eighteenth century, New York had become the communications capital of colonial America. With a regular packet ship connection to England, news from Europe arrived here first and spread outward to other colonies. At Hanover Square near the East River waterfront, merchants, sailors, and printers gathered to exchange information that shaped public opinion. <br><br>During the imperial crisis after 1763, printers played a powerful role in the growing debate over Britain’s authority. One of the most controversial was James Rivington. In 1773 he launched the New York Gazette, and its outspoken Loyalist tone won support from British officials while angering revolutionaries. In 1775 a Patriot mob destroyed his printshop and forced him to flee to London. <br><br>When British forces captured New York in 1777, Rivington returned as the King’s official printer, publishing newspapers that defended royal rule. Yet the story did not end there. Evidence later suggested that he secretly supplied information to George Washington’s spy network. In a city divided by war, the press became its own battlefield, and loyalty was often far more complicated than it first appeared.


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"/>

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"/>

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.

====Attack on Valencia====

{{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)}}
With tensions between Loyalists and Patriots running high in New York I joined the printers in Hanover Square and assembled different articles to print my own newspaper.
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"/>
|-|Statue=
;Tearing down the King
The statue is gone now, but in 1776, revolutionary supporters gathered here on the Bowling Green, at the foot of the British-controlled fort, around a statue of King George. General Washington did one of the first readings of the Declaration of Independence here. Join the riot alongside Issac Sears and throw ropes onto the statue of King George to topple it.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head towards Bowling green.


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"/>
;Historical details
On July 9, 1776, crowds gathered in what is now City Hall Park to hear the Declaration of Independence read aloud to Washington’s troops and the public. With those words, the colonies renounced their allegiance to King George III and declared themselves free states. The news echoed across a city already on edge, as British warships filled the harbor and redcoats stood in nearby barracks.<br><br>That evening, energized by the declaration, a group of sailors and laborers marched down Broadway to Bowling Green, just outside Fort George, the center of British power in New York. Inside the iron fence stood a towering gilded statue of King George III, erected only a few years earlier as a symbol of imperial authority. By torchlight, the crowd pulled the 4,000 pound lead statue from its pedestal and broke it apart while onlookers cheered. <br><br>The fragments were later sent to Connecticut, where much of the metal was melted down and recast into bullets for the Continental Army. In a single night, a royal monument became ammunition, and the Revolution in New York moved from bold words to visible defiance in the streets.


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"/>
;Instructions
Objective
Rioters toppled the statue of King George at the Bowling Green.<br><br>Throw ropes onto the statue to pull it down.


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"/>
Ropes
Tap and hold on the pile of ropes, then swipe toward the statue to throw and attach them.

[[File:PaxR 8.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio fighting Cesare in Viana]]
;What happens
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" />

Despite a continuous stream of soldiers attacking him, Ezio was able to whittle away Cesare's armor and overpower him.

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"/>

;The Turtle
In 1776, with American forces in control of New York, Sergeant Lee launched David Bushnell's newly invented Turtle submersible along this bank overlooking the East River. Pilot it undetected beneath the Royal Navy ships, in an attempt to sink the British flagship.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York and head to the Turtle launch location.


====Pilgrimage to Masyaf====
;Historical details
{{Quote|None of you leave until the Assassin is dead. Do you understand?|Leandros sending his men after Ezio.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
In 1775, inventor David Bushnell created a remarkable new weapon that looked more like a wooden barrel than a machine of war. Called the Turtle, it is considered the world’s first military submarine. Powered by hand and foot, the one person vessel included ballast pumps to control depth, a compass, a depth gauge, and an early screw propeller. Bushnell designed it to carry an explosive charge that could be attached to the hull of a British warship, hoping to disrupt the blockade tightening around New York. <br><br>When Bushnell fell ill, the mission fell to a young volunteer, Ezra Lee. In September 1776, after the British captured the city, Washington approved an attack on General William Howe’s flagship, the 64 gun HMS Eagle. Under cover of darkness, Lee pedaled from the Battery toward the massive warship and attempted to drill into its hull to secure the explosive. A metal plate prevented him from attaching the charge, and as he surfaced, British guards began to stir. Lee released the timed device and escaped. The explosion caused little damage, but the attempt was groundbreaking. <br><br>Though the Turtle saw limited use before being lost later that year, it marked the beginning of underwater warfare and showcased American ingenuity in desperate times.
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>


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)"/>
;Instructions
Objective
Take on the role of Sergeant Lee and navigate the Turtle submersible through the Royal Navy blockade to the British flagship, the HMS Eagle.


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)"/>
Entering
To start, approach the Turtle and tap on it to board.


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)"/>
Movement
Tap the highlighted levers to access the controls. You can control the direction and propulsion with the slider.


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>
Navigation
Use the map to track your position and the British ships.


[[File:The Hangman 8.png|thumb|left|250px|Templars leading Ezio to a plank]]
Detection and hazards
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"/>
Be careful to avoid hazards such as rocks and anchors from the British ships. You can check for ships and rocks on your map.


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'' – [[A Narrow Escape]]</ref>Ezio left the fortress and pursued the Templar Captain, who had escaped by carriage.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' – [[A Journal of Some Kind]]</ref>

Ezio managed to hold onto a rope trailing from the carriage, and dragged himself up to the carriage itself.

Ezio freed him by stealing the key of his cage.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' – [[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'' – [[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'' – [[Guild Contracts]]</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'' – [[Bomb Crafting]]</ref>

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'' – [[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'' – [[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'' – [[Quid Pro Quo]]</ref>

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.  
====OG Wheels====
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'' – [[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'' – [[Loose Lips]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' – [[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'' – [[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'' – [[The Sentinel, Part 2]]</ref>

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.

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.

That same year, Ezio received a letter from his friend [[Michelangelo]], informing him of a new Templar plot in the city.

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" />

However, the two of them were ambushed by a Chinese Imperial soldier in Florence.

Ezio was loyal to his family and carried the loss for the rest of his life after the Auditore execution.

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.

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.

|[[File:ACBFR Rabbit's Foot.png|150px|center]]
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"/>

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" />

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.

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"/>

[[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"/>

Upon learning this, Ezio flew into a rage and attacked the Arsenal in great force with the local Assassins.

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"/>

*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.
|[[File:ACBFR Demon-forged Pendant.png|150px|center]]
*According to the game manual, Ezio is 6' 0" (1.83 m) tall and weighs 165 lbs (75 kg).
|Demon-forged Pendant
*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]]''.
|Legendary
*Throughout Italy, Ezio will only remove his hood during cutscenes if he was wearing his father's Assassin robes.
|''A fiery charm pulsating with dark energy from the lower planes.''
*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.
|Berserk darts also sets enemy on fire
*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.
|Purchase the ''Hellfire Pack''
*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.
|[[File:ACBFR Abyssal Pendant.png|150px|center]]
*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.

|Fortunate Circle Charm
**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.

|Found inside the house on Cat Island
**A cape does show when he wore the Armor of Brutus outfit, however, and it retains the usual animations from the previous games.

*Ezio sometimes used Turkish terms when speaking to citizens, contacts and his apprentices.
|Legendary
**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.
|''A lucky charm for the predator who stalked the seas.''
*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".
|Kills further reduce enemy morale
**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.
|Pre-order reward
*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.
|[[File:ACBFR Small Bones.png|149px|center]]
*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.

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.

*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.

'''''Soulcalibur V'''''
*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'''
*[[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.
 
==Behind the scenes==
Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a character who first appeared in the live-action short film Assassin's Creed: Lineage, where he was played by [[Devon Bostick]]. Lineage acted as a prequel to Assassin's Creed II, the next title in the video game chronology, wherein Ezio's voice was provided by [[Roger Craig Smith]]. In the Nintendo DS spin-off title Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, Ezio's voice is provided by [[Kid Beyond]]. In the following entries, Ezio's voice was again provided by Roger Craig Smith. Smith however, was not asked by Ubisoft to reprise the role for Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, with Ezio's voice actor being replaced by [[Giovanni Noto]]. Smith later returned in a fan-made video titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAoEWB547KU&ab_channel=Loomer The Training of Shao Jun]" dubbing over his Chronicles: China replacement.
