Biography

Assassin's Creed: Lineage

Petruccio (right) is going to be executed.

He is executed along with Fedrico and Giovanni at the start of the game, victims of a conspiracy. Near the beginning of the game, Petruccio asks Ezio to retrieve some White Feathers for him. The player must return with the feather quickly because Petruccio is not allowed outside due to his "illness". After Petruccio's death, Ezio decides to collect more feathers in memory of his brother. These can be stored in a chest in the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni.

If 50 of these feathers are collected and in-game cutscene will play in which Ezio's uncle Mario tells him to give up. He then tells his nephew that he has a special weapon prepared for him at the Monteggiori blacksmith. The weapon is the Condottiero Warhammer, the most powerful hammer and second most powerful weapon in the game next to the Sword of Altair.

If the player collects all 100 of these feathers an in-game cutscene plays in which Ezio embraces his mother, who speaks for the first time since the family's deaths. She thanks Ezio for "not forgetting [her]" and presents him with the Auditore Cape. This cape makes the player notorious at all times when outside Monteriggioni, and the methods of lowering notoriety (killing corrupt officials, bribing heralds and tearing down wanted posters) are not available. Removing the cape returns the player's notoriety to the level it was at before the cape was put on.

Trivia

• Petruccio has you collect eagle feathers which were used in the first game (and by the real Hashashin) to signify the completion of an assassination after they were swiped along the bleeding neck of the victim.
• If Petruccio's profile is read, it states that little memory of Petruccio can be found after the feather collection, then states that he may have died from his "illness", although it is later revealed in the mission "Last Man Standing" that he was executed.
