Plot

See Assassin's Creed II storyline

"'I will seek vengeance upon those who betrayed my family. I am Ezio Auditore Da Firenze. I am an assassin...'

Betrayed by the ruling families of Italy, a young man embarks upon an epic quest for vengeance. To eradicate corruption and restore his family's honour, he will learn the art of the assassin.

Along the way, Ezio will call upon the wisdom of such great minds as Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolò Machiavelli - knowing that survival is bound to the skills by which he must live.

To his allies, he will become a force for change - fighting for freedom and justice. To his enemies, he will become a threat dedicated to the desruction of the tyrants abusing the people of Italy.

So begins an epic story of power, revenge and conspiracy.
