Ezio Auditore's robes

Ezio has used four sets of robes in the Next-Gen console games he has featured in, in each game Ezio has had a customizable set of robes (customizable through adding armour, changing dye colours and equiping different capes) and a special set of robes that come with a set of unbreakable armour, which cannot be customized at all.

Assassin's Creed II

In Assassin's Creed II, Ezio recieved Giovanni's Assassin Robes, which are short in comparison to those Altair wore in Assassin's Creed, with the lower part only coming part way down Ezio's thigh at the front, and to the back of his knees at the back.

Appearance

The standard Assassin robes used in Assassin's Creed II ar worn over the top of Ezio's normal clothes (Florentine Noble Attire), and so the boots, trousers and sleeves are the same. The upper body features a hood with the centre shaped to resemble an eagle's head, a feature kept from Assassin's Creed, the hood is part of the main robe part, with a shirt like look to the torso (with an open collar), and the lower part layered, with the upper layers being shorter, and the front of the ower pary being shorter than the back. The robes also feature Ezio's wide belt that is used to store throwing knives and show the Assassin's symbol, and the robes also have a cape over and around Ezio's left arm and soulder.

Customization

The standard Assassin's robes canbe dyed with any colour a tailor can offer you, and colours to not affect the gameplay, so it's all personal preferemce. Armour can also be added to make your rbes more personal again, and any combination of Leather, Helmschmied, Metal and Missaglias armour pieces may be used to create your own personal look, although of these four, the Missaglias is the most highly recommended, because of it's statistics. However, if the number of health blocks don't bother you, any combination may be used. Finally you may choose to wear one of four capes with the Assassin's Robes; the Plain Cape, the Medici Cape, the Venetian Cape and the Auditore Cape, although the primary colour of none of these capes is allowed to be changed, it is easy to choose a cape to match a dye, although capes can change gameplay dramatically, depend on your location and playing style.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

After the siege of Monteriggioni, Ezio is given a new set of robes by Machiavelli that are a cross between the Ezio's robes in Assassin's Creed II and Altair's robes in Assassin's Creed.

Appearance

Ezio's new robes are a cross between Giovanni and Altair's robes, as they have a long, layered lower section, although they maintain the shirt like torso of Givanni's robes, with the open collar only on the outside, and what appears to be a closed collar on the inside. The hood shape from the previous two games has been kept, as has the wide belt displaying the Assassin's symbol and carrying Ezio's throwing knives, and the robes still feature the cape over Ezio's left arm and shoulder.

Customization

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood improves the customization system from Assassn's Creed II with the added ability to dye the cape seperatly to the main body of the robe, allowing for many colour combinations. All of the dye colours have returned from the previous game, although some of them ahve been tweaked, renamed or both. Again, the armour system allows for further customization, with four new armour types to replace those of Assassin's Creed II; the Roman, Rondelle, Pate and Seusenhofer armour parts to use in any combination, again the Seusenhofer is recommended for its statistics, buf if aesthetics are more important than performance, many combinations can be used. The four capes also return, although the plain cape can now be dyed to match the rest of your robes, the Borgia Cape is also added in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and looks quite similar to the Auditore Cape, slthough the crest is different.
