On the Defense

On the Defense was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Ezio Auditore arrived at the Galata District Assassin Den, which was under attack. Yusuf Tazim's lieutenant Dogan informed Ezio that the Assassins had managed to defeat the first wave of Byzantine soldiers and more were on the way. Following this, the pair prepared themselves to defeat the attacking Templars.

Dialogue

• Dogan: Bu ne büyük sheref usta. (Mentor, it is an honor.) Is Yusuf with you?
• Ezio: An attack in the city demands his attention. What is our situation?
• Dogan: We beat back the vanguard, but they are sure to send more troops.
• Ezio: Are your men ready for another fight?
• Dogan: They are now.

Ezio successfully defended the den.

• Ezio: Send word if the Templars regroup. I will be with Yusuf at the Grand Bazaar den.
• Dogan: Take a ferry across the Haliç (Golden Horn). It's the fastest way to the peninsula.

Outcome

Ezio Auditore managed to successfully defend the Assassin Den from the Byzantine attack and subsequently departed to meet Yusuf Tazim.

Trivia

• In the novelization of the game, Leandros is confronted during this memory. After he is defeated and reveals everything he knows to Ezio, Ezio then shoots him in the leg and leaves him to bleed to death.
