Sofia Sorto was a Venetian bookseller living in Constantinople during the 16th century. During her time in Constantinople, she befriended Ezio Auditore, the Grand Master of the Assassin Order and later became his wife.
Biography
Early life
Sofia was born in Venice, Italy, as a girl with a taste for knowledge and a fondness for books.[1]
Life in Constantinople
Sofia moved to Constantinople, wanting to spread knowledge amongst the poor Ottoman people. Unbeknownst to her, however, the building she inhabited was the old trading post of Niccolò Polo,[1] the father of Marco Polo and individual who played a vital role in the Assassin Order.[2]
In 1511, she met Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the Grand Master of the Assassin Order, who was on a search for the seals of the legendary Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, which Niccolò and Maffeo Polo spread throughout Constantinople. Sofia, charmed by Ezio, allowed him to look around her home when he eventually found a secret entrance. Ezio entered it, and returned with a seal and an encrypted map. Sofia, not knowing of Ezio's Assassin affiliations, helped him decode the map.[1]
Settling down
Sofia later settled down with Ezio in Florence. Together, they had two children: a boy named Marcello and a daughter named Flavia.[3]
Personality
Sofia had a thirst for knowledge and desired to spread that knowledge to the poor people of the Ottoman Empire. Upon their first meeting, Ezio instantly felt a connection to the woman, yet could not bring himself to tell her the truth about his true identity.[1]
