Mario Auditore (1434 - 1499) was the older brother of Giovanni Auditore and the uncle of Ezio. Like his brother, he was an Assassin, but prefered combat and group maneuvers over infiltration and stealth. He had become a condottiere leading a sizable group of mercenaries to fight against the Templars (and their interests) hidden among the local nobility. He proved to be a valuable ally to his nephew Ezio (who he refers to as nipote, Italian for 'nephew') and trained him to improve his fighting skills in Monteriggioni.

Personality and characteristics
Mario dresses in the flamboyant style of the Italian nobility of the Renaissance, sports long, dark hair that he slicks back neatly and has a scar over his left eye, which he is also blind in. He is a boisterous man, and makes no apologies for his passion for fighting and alcohol. He cares deeply for his brother and his brother's family, and is extremely proud of his Assassin heritage. From his letter to Giovanni and their differences in fighting styles, it can be assumed that he was often playfully critical of his brother, much like his nephew Federico is with Ezio.
Upon close inspection, one notes that Mario often puts his hand on the shoulder of the person he's speaking to, presumably as a sign of closeness/affection.
