Assassin's Creed
In the Assassin's Creed, feathers are used by Assassins such as Altaïr to prove that an assassination target is dead. By staining a feather with the blood of the slain, they can prove their accomplishment. Assassins' Bureau leaders always give the chosen Assassin a feather, symbolizing that they were satisfied with the the information the Assassin had gathered and was ready to commence with the actual Assassination. In the case of Altaïr, he was only able to attain the feather after performing his own investigations and reporting his findings to the leader.
Among Assassins, the phrase "feather on one's head" meant a mark of death. For example, an Informant in the Rich District of Damascus comments that "there is a feather on Abul Nuqoud's head," implying that the Merchant King was marked for assassination.
Assassin's Creed II
In Assassin's Creed II, Petruccio Auditore asks his brother Ezio to collect three feathers for him near the start of the game. After the murder of Ezio's father and two brothers (Federico and Petruccio Auditore), his mother, Maria Auditore prays over Petruccio's feathers. As Ezio travels across Italy (with the exception of Rome and the Apennine Mountains) he is able to collect more feathers and return these to a box in Maria's room in the Villa Auditore.
After collecting 50 Feathers, Mario Auditore speaks with Ezio and lets him know that there is a new weapon, the Condottiero War Hammer, waiting for him at the Monteriggioni blacksmith. He also suggests that Ezio should give up on trying to search for the feathers.
After collecting 100 Feathers, Maria thanks Ezio for not giving up on her, and presents him with the Auditore Cape.
Achievements
Collecting all 100 feathers gives the Achievement/Trophy "In Memory of Petruccio" and the Auditore family Cape. Owning the Auditore Cape is necessary to complete the "Show Your Colors" Achievement/Trophy.

Locations
The website The Hidden Blade has maps for Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Tuscany, Romagna, and each district of Florence and Venice with numbered markers for the locations of every feather. When you hover your mouse over a marker, a screen shot of the feather in-game pops up. Click on the marker for a high resolution version of the screen shot. The maps also include glyphs in the same manner. These maps were created by Asaic and thus do not infringe on the copyrighted maps from the Official Game Guide by Prima Games.
Beneath each map is a video walkthrough of all the feathers and glyphs. These videos demonstrate an efficient collection route and follow the numerical order of the feathers on the maps. They were created by stabguy and IanXO4 to assist players who wish to quickly collect all of the feathers and glyphs or recheck a district for one missing feather. Total running time of the walkthrough is 65 minutes including unedited travel from one feather to the next.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, 10 feathers can be found in notable landmarks scattered throughout Rome. Collected feathers can be placed in a chest at Ezio's Hideout similar to the box in Maria's room in Assassin's Creed II. Gathering all feathers results in the Achievement/Trophy "In Memoriam." After Sequence 3/4 you can buy a map detailing the locations of all the remaining feathers from any art merchant.
| Icon | Name | How to obtain | Points | Trophy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
In Memoriam | Collect All Feathers. | 20
|
Bronze |
Trivia
- Due to his death, it is never revealed why Petruccio was collecting the feathers in the first place; although a line from the novelization suggests that they were meant to be a present for his mother (which would explain why Ezio would want to give them to her).
- Maria's feather box can be found as an artifact in Monteriggioni while playing with Desmond.
