Claudia Auditore da Firenze was born in Florence, the daughter of [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]] and [[Maria Auditore da Firenze]] and sister to [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />
Claudia Auditore is a young [[Florence|Florentine]] girl from a noble family living during the 15th Century in Italy, the Renaissance. She is the daughter of Giovanni Auditore, an Assassin, a "profession" of her father that she doesn't know.
 
In 1476, Giovanni, Federico and Petruccio were executed as they were accused of treason against Florence. In fact, they were executed by the [[Templars]], the sworn enemies of the [[Assassins]], the latter of whom her father was a member of. Following this, her brother Ezio exacted revenge on [[Uberto Alberti]], the city's Gonfalioniere, and left Florence with Claudia and their mother. They fled to [[Monteriggioni]], the city ruled over by their uncle [[Mario Auditore|Mario]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />
 
Although Ezio at first meant only to stay in Monteriggioni for a day, he decided it was best to stay at in the [[Villa Auditore]] so that he could finish his father's work.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

The day following Ezio's brawl with [[Vieri de' Pazzi]]'s men, Claudia met with him feeling sad and depressed. She suspected her boyfriend Duccio, of being unfaithful. Ezio convinced her that Duccio was not the one for her and went on to confront him for Claudia.


After the tragic [[Auditore Execution|events that befell the Auditore family]], Ezio vows to protect her, along with their mother, and escorts them both to the safety of the [[Villa Auditore]]. There, her uncle [[Mario Auditore da Firenze|Mario]] puts her to work keeping a book of finances for the Villa; a task she finds positively scandalous, since it involves "work."
===Member of the Assassin Order===
In 1499, the city of Monteriggioni was besieged by the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]], the most prominent Templar organization, under the command of [[Cesare Borgia]]. As a result, Mario was killed and Ezio left for [[Rome]], the Templars' headquarters, to exact revenge. Feeling obligated to do so as well, Claudia followed Ezio to Rome.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />


In the official novel '[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]],' Claudia went with Maria to a convent in [[Monteriggioni]] for a short time, and took her vows as a ''noviziata'', or novice sister. However, she soon relocated to the Auditore villa and was later married to Mario's "senior captain." She was later pregnant with the Captain's child.
She assisted her brother in assassinating [[Juan Borgia]] by attending the latter's pagan party with her courtesans. As she revealed herself, she was suddenly attacked by a Borgia guard. However, Claudia killed her attacker immmediately.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

Sometime after the [[Siege of Monteriggioni]], Claudia assisted her brother, Ezio, in assassinating Juan Borgia, [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare's]] banker and lieutenant. While her brother infiltrated the pagan party Juan was attending, disguised as his target's lieutenant, she also attended the party with her courtesans. When she appeared, she was suddenly attacked but killed her attacker immediately, like a true assassin.
