"I've seen posters all across the district. Tearing them down will help the city forget your face."

―Paola to Ezio Auditore.

A wanted poster of Ezio initiated by the Pazzi.

Wanted posters were printed signs found in cities that featured the face of an Assassin, demanding for his or her immediate capture.

Ezio Auditore first encountered them after the execution of his family. The posters prominently displayed the Pazzi family emblem and promised awards of 50,000 florins to anyone who killed or captured the Assassin once he had committed socially unacceptable behavior.

By tearing down wanted posters within cities, Ezio quickly learned to avoid the presence of guards while doing so, who were often alerted once they had detected his actions.

Accompanying this, during the French and Indian War, the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré found need to remove wanted posters bearing the image of her slave persona, to decrease any negative focus of her in the public eye.

During the American Revolution, the Assassin Connor removed wanted posters to reduce his notoriety.

Trivia

• Many of the posters displayed in Florence, Venice, Forlì and San Gimignano were placed in unusual places, where citizens could hardly see them, negating their intended purpose. However, the posters in Rome were often placed at ground level and in more crowded areas.
• In Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, players could use the DSi's camera feature to insert their own photo in place of Ezio's printed face.
• The posters continued to state that members of the Pazzi family would offer a reward even after they had all been killed by Ezio.
• The posters in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood remained the same as the ones in Assassin's Creed II, though the symbol of the Pazzi family was replaced by that of the Borgia.
• If a poster was located on the wall of a Borgia tower, igniting the tower would not remove the poster or lower notoriety.
• In Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, just about all posters were posted on street level.
