Wanted poster

A wanted poster of Ezio initiated by the Pazzi.

Wanted posters were posters featuring Ezio's face and promising a reward for anyone who killed or captured him. The posters could be found in any city as soon as Ezio raised his notoriety.

Ezio encountered the posters for the first time when Paola sent him out to lower his notoriety after the execution of his family. The posters clearly showed the Pazzi emblem and stated that the Pazzi awarded 50,000 florins to anyone who killed or captured Ezio Auditore.

Ezio tore down the wanted posters to reduce his notoriety. However, he quickly learned to be careful and evade guards while doing so, as his notoriety increased and guards would shove him when they saw him remove a poster.

Strangely, many of the posters in Florence, Venice, Forli and San Gimignano were placed in odd places, where the citizens could hardly see them. This essentially defeated the purpose of publicly displaying Ezio. However, the posters in Rome are placed in more crowded areas, and more often at street level.

Trivia

• In Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, the player can use their own photo in place of Ezio's own wanted posters, using the DSi's camera feature.
• "Morti di vivo" is an incorrect Italian translation of the phrase "dead or alive." Instead, it should be "vivo o morto."
• The posters state that the Pazzi family will offer a reward, even after they all have been killed by Ezio.
• The posters in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood remain the same as the ones in Assassin's Creed II, but the symbol of the Pazzi family is removed.
• If the poster is on the wall of a Borgia Tower, igniting the tower will not lower notoriety.
