He who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow. This article contains spoilers, meaning it has information and facts concerning recent or upcoming releases from the Assassin's Creed series.

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, several outfits are available to those who complete certain challenges. Once an outfit is unlocked and equipped, it will alter Ezio Auditore's appearance, but, unlike armor, most of the costumes will not affect any other gameplay elements.

Outfits can be unlocked through a variety of methods, which are enumerated below.

Capes

Plain Cape

Plain Cape

Available from the beginning of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and when Ezio gets his fathers robes in Assassin's Creed II, this cape has no effect on Notoriety, and is the only cape that can be dyed.

Auditore Cape

Auditore Cape

This cape is unlocked by completely rebuilding the city of Rome.

Originally handcrafted by Maria Auditore da Firenze in her mourning of a lost child, this cape allows Ezio to show his pride for the Auditore family. It was lost during the Siege of Monteriggioni and given to Rodrigo Borgia's youngest son, Jofré Borgia as a war gift.

Ezio reacquires the cape after rebuilding Rome to 100% when the Assassins stole it from Jofre's collection. It also makes Ezio permanently Incognito - a very useful feature when you wish to explore the various districts and obtain their many collectibles without being harassed by guards. Once you remove the cape, your Notoriety gauge will return to its original level.

Borgia Cape

Borgia Cape

The Borgia Cape is unlocked by removing all 101 Borgia flags from Rome.

Functionally identical to the Auditore cape, notoriety stays at zero while the cape is worn and resets to its original level when removed.

Medici Cape

Medici Cape

Unlocked in project legacy by completing the Auditore Mnemonic set in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy. This cape does not affect notoriety and cannot be dyed.

It can also be found at Monteriggioni while playing with Desmond, however, it can't be used by him.

Venetian Cape

Venetian Cape

Unlocked by completing the Auditore Mnemonic set in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy. This cape does not affect notoriety and cannot be dyed.

General Appearance

"Once the basics are covered, Ezio may divert some of his income toward the sartorial elegance that is deserved of a major player in Roman political affairs. The Tailor now offers 15 new clothes and cape dyes, devoid of any gameplay influence and included purely for the pleasure of defining Ezio in your chosen style and aesthetic." - The Complete Official Guide: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

Armor of Altaïr

Armor of Altaïr

Main article: Armor of Altaïr

Unlocked by purchasing on Uplay for 20 Uplay Units.

The Grand Master Robes of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Worn by Ezio Auditore after completing all of the Assassin's Tombs in Assassin's Creed II. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it is worn in the last Cristina memory, and in the beginning of the game until it is lost in the Siege of Monteriggioni. Although it is says it is the armor, it does NOT change the defense stats of what you had before, as it is only an outfit.

Altaïr's Robes

Altaïr's Robes

Unlocked by purchasing on Uplay for 20 Uplay Units.

Accesses Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's skin from the Animus databases, though it will not affect Ezio's current equipment, armor settings or the abilities of the cape he was previously wearing. The outfit actually loads the model of Altaïr, rather than just his clothing, as is visible from color of his eyes, which are lighter than Ezio's, and the fact that the player is silent during taunts, rather than using Ezio's voice. Altaïr's missing finger can also be seen on the character model when this outfit is equipped.

Florentine Noble Attire

Florentine Noble Attire

Unlocked by purchasing on Uplay for 20 Uplay Units.

Worn by Ezio Auditore in Florence during the beginning of Assassin's Creed II before encountering Giovanni's Assassin's Robes in the "Family Heirloom" memory. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it is worn during the first Cristina memory. Accessible before Apple of Eden missions when leaving Animus.

Desmond Miles Skin

Desmond Miles

Unlocked by attaining 100% Synchronization in Sequence 8.

Purely cosmetic, this skin allows the player to look like Desmond Miles inside the Animus 2.0. The style of walking and free-running is that of Desmond's.

Raiden Outfit

Raiden Skin

Main article: Raiden Skin

Unlocked by completing every Virtual Training challenge with at least a bronze medal.

This outfit is in homage to the VR-trained cybernetic ninja called Raiden, from Metal Gear Solid. The skin of Raiden in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is the Cyborg Ninja form of Raiden as seen in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Ezio's facial features and hair will still be seen, not Raiden's.

Trivia

• When you unlock a General Appearance outfit, they become available during your next play through.
• The effect of the Auditore Cape in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the reverse of its effect in Assassin's Creed II.
• Unlike in the game itself, the image of Altaïr's Robes in your inventory depicts Ezio wearing the robes, rather than Altaïr, as seen by his beard. The outfit also does not bear the beak-shaped hood, and shows Ezio wielding Altaïr's short blade, which is missing from its sheath in the game and is unusable.
• The image of Raiden's Outfit depicts Ezio unsheathing Raiden's katana, the High Frequency Blade, although it is not usable or present in the game.
• The Borgia Captain armor itself, though being worn by Ezio, appears red in Eagle Vision.
• The Medici Cape can also be found at Monteriggioni while playing with Desmond, however, it has no real purpose in the game other than being a collectible.
• Diving while wearing the Florentine Attire will cause Ezio to have Desmond's head until he reaches the water surface again.
• The Armour of Brutus uses other capes' effects, but no change is seen.
• Also, attempting to die the Armour of Brutus cape at a Talor has no effect. If you want to see any other cape or colour, you must change your armour at Ezio's Hideout.
