Ezio Auditore's robes

The Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze wore several sets of robes throughout his life. Ezio had three customizable sets of robes (customizable through adding armor, dying the robes, and equipping different capes) and more special sets of robes that came with a set of near-unbreakable armor, which could not be customized.

Giovanni's robes

Ezio inherited the Assassin robes of his father, Giovanni Auditore da Firenze, following his arrest. These robes were symbolic for the Assassin Order, with its beaked hood and the faded white cloth.

Appearance

The standard robes were worn over Ezio's normal clothing. The upper body features a hood with the center shaped to resemble an eagle's beak. The hood was connected to the robes, with the torso bearing an open collar.

The lower part of the robes were doubly layered, with the back of the robes trailed down to be longer than the front. Around the waist was a long red sash with pouches attached to a belt, holding smoke bombs, bullets, poison and medicine vials. The belt also held together an ornate Assassin insignia, with scabbards holding throwing knives flanking it. The robes featured a leather spaulder where a cape was attached, draped over and around Ezio's left arm and shoulder.

Customization

The robes could be dyed with any color that a tailor had to offer. Armor could also be added, and any combination of leather, Helmschmied, metal and Missaglias armor pieces. However, for purely stylistic choices, any combination of armor pieces may have been used together.

Ezio had a choice to wear one of four capes with the robes; the standard cape, the Medici cape, the Venetian cape and the Auditore cape, though the standard cape was the only cape Ezio chose to dye.

Roman robes

After the siege of Monteriggioni, Ezio was given a new set of robes, provided by Machiavelli, which looked strikingly similar to both his father's robes, and Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's robes.

Appearance

Ezio's new robes showed similarities between Giovanni and Altaïr's robes mixed together, as they had a long, layered lower section, although they maintained the open collared torso similar to Giovanni's robes, and included a new closed collar beneath. The hood shape from the previous robes had been kept as well as the wide, red sash displaying the Assassin's insignia and the function of carrying Ezio's throwing knives. The robes continued to feature the cape over Ezio's left arm and shoulder with a leather spaulder (although it is plated in cover art).

Customization

The customization system had been improved, with the opportunity to dye the cape separately to the main body of the robe, allowing for many color combinations. Most of the previous dye colors had returned, although some of them had been tweaked, renamed or both.

Again, the armor system allowed for further customization, with four new armor sets: the Roman, Rondelle, Plate, and Seusenhofer armor sets (having similar stats to the Leather, Helmschmied, Metal, and Missaglias respectively), which could all be used in any combination. The Auditore, Medici, and Venetian capes also returned, with the addition of the Borgia Cape, though the plain cape was the only one which may be dyed.

Journey robes

By 1511, Ezio had once again changed his outward appearance, having an all-new set of robes for travelling to Masyaf. Unlike his previous outfits, his new robes did not appear to include a cape as he took it off while fighting the Byzantine Templars in the E3 trailer, and these robes were largely dark grey-blue in color, rather than the usual Assassin white. These new robes also had grayish white fur padding on the left shoulder and under both bracers, as opposed to the leather his previous outfits had, and Ezio now wore a dark blue scarf around his neck instead of the open style or collar seen in his previous outfits.

The robes also bore the Constantinople Assassin insignia and a small, adorned buckle in a shape of diamond that connected the belts which crossed over his chest. There was also an upside down insignia on the tip of the hood. Additionally, small patterns appear to be imprinted on the grey fabric of the robes.

Customization

The robes could once again be dyed with any color that a tailor had to offer, with color combinations tweaked or renamed to fit the setting. New armor sets have appeared, the Azap, Mamluk, Sepahi, Ishak Pasha's, and Master Assassin, although the final one always reverted the robe color to Ezio's original grey.

During his time in Constantinople, there was no customizability for a cape as it wasn't a part of Ezio's new outfit.

Trivia

• In Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, the Assassin Raphael Sanchez first mistook Giovanni's robes to be of Venetian make, which Ezio immediately corrected to Florentine.
• In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, there is a hidden method by which Ezio's armor can be removed. If the player has the Armor of Brutus worn and returns to Sequence 2, before going to the blacksmith and equipping Roman Spaulders, when they exit the replay of the memory, Ezio will only have the Roman Spaulders equipped. However, if the player goes back to the hide-out on Tiber Island, they can re-equip any armor set.
• When playing the third Cristina Memory, Ezio is wearing the Medici cape, despite not possessing the cape at that stage during Assassin's Creed II.
• On the front cover art for Assassin's Creed II, Ezio is shown wearing a variation of the Metal Pauldrons. However, on the back cover art, he isn't wearing any pauldrons other than the one that came with Giovanni's robes.
• In Assassin's Creed: Revelations, players can remove all their armor by equipping the Armor of Ishak Pasha or the master Assassin armor and replaying A Narrow Escape. When Ezio finds his confiscated hidden blades and puts them on, all armor will be removed.
• The Mamluk and Sepahi pauldrons in Revelations, have a short cape-like cloth that ends by Ezio's shoulder blade. It does not cover his arm like in the previous installments though.
• In promotional artwork and trailers, Ezio is shown with the Assassin insignia of Masyaf rather than that of the Constantinople Assassin Guild's, while the adorned buckle for his left pauldron bears the Renaissance Italy Assassin insignia rather than the diamond symbol.
