Ezio. He can swim, hire courtisans, mercenaries and thieves, and is a better fighter. Also, he can hide almost anywhere, not just groups of scholars. He also has special capes, and may be a faster freerunner, though I'm not sure because I haven't played #1. Plus, Ezio gets armor, medicine, and smoke bombs. Ezio also has so much money he can literally throw it away. Ezio scores higher in personality, and to top it off, there is something Ezio has that Altair will never have: His left ring finger.
