―Animus description.[src]

The Helmschmied Drachen Armor was a rare set of armor, crafted out of heavy metal. A set was worn by the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

The robes Ezio wore under the armor appeared similar to those of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, though they possessed a leather texture, rather than cloth. On the waist, the Assassin insignia was flanked by rows of throwing knife sheathes.

Across the torso, the armor was made up of stylized metal plates. The upper right arm guard extended higher than the shoulder, though that of the left was set lower to make room for a cape. The matching bracers of the armor were worn in conjunction with leather gloves on each hand.
