Journey to Cappadocia
Edit
Added by After obtaining the four Keys still within Constantinople, Ezio made to travel to Cappadocia, the location gien to him by Tarik, to confront Manuel Palaiologos. Before he could depart however, he was intercepted by Yusuf, who informed him that the Janissaries' had raised the Great Chain across the mouth of the Golden Horn, so as to prevent his leaving the city. Yusuf provided Ezio with a sizeable Hand-held bomb, claiming that it was significantly more dangerous than their usual explosives.[14]
Ezio proceeded to the port, destroying the Great Chain with Yusuf's special bomb and burning the numerous Templar ships that guarded the harbor using Greek Fire.[14]
Arriving in Cappadocia aboard Piri Reis' ship, Ezio sought to make contact with Tarik's spies already in the city; he soon learned however, that many of Tarik's men had already been discovered, apprehended and executed by the Byzantines. He arrived just in time to prevent the execution of the remaining spies, engaging and eliminating Shahkulu in open combat.[14]
With the spies safe, Ezio proceeded to detonate the city's ordinance supply and, in the ensuing panic, gave chase to Palaiologos. Confronting him at one of the city's docks, Ezio slayed him and so claimed the fifth and final Key. Before he could leave however, he found himself confroned by Suleiman's uncle and heir-apparent to the Ottoman throne, Shehzade Ahmet.[14]
Revealing his own Templar allegiance, Ahmet demanded Ezio hand over the Key, lest harm fall upon Sofia Sartor. Angrily, Ezio pledged vengeance should any harm come to her, then made his way back through the now smoke-filled city to Reis' ship, and to Constantinople.
Fight with Prince AhmetEdit
Hurriedly making his way to Sofia's bookshop, Ezio found the place ransacked and Yusuf, whom Ezio had asked to look after Sofia during his time in Cappadocia, dead. Declaring a renewed quest for vengeance against all those who dared cross the Assassins, Ezio collected the remaining Keys and prepared to ambush Ahmet during the exchange. However, Ahmet held Sofia hostage atop Galata Tower and Ezio gave him the Keys to quickly rescue her. The hostage turned out to be Azize, one of Ezio's fellow Assassins, and Ezio saw Sofia was being hung in a courtyard. After parachuting down to rescue her, and ensuring she was fine, they got on a carriage to pursue Ahmet, who had already proudly hurried off towards Syria to find the library and unlock its contents.[14]
After a lengthy ride through the country, which left Ezio essentially parasailing to hang on their carriage, he managed to grab Ahmet and the two struggled as they both went flying off a cliff. Ezio subdued the prince and opened a parachute so they would survive. Getting up from their rough landing, Ezio and Ahmet saw an army arrive with Prince Selim. Selim explained the Sultan had chosen him over Ahmet, and proceeded to strangle his brother and throw him into the sea. Selim then spared Ezio, having heard good things about him from his son Suleiman, but ordered him to stay away from Constantinople.[14]
After traveling to Masyaf with Sofia, Ezio used the five Keys to open the door to Altaïr's library. Ezio discovered there were no books, only the body of the former Mentor and a final Key in his hand. The Key revealed to Ezio Altaïr's final moments, and the location of his Apple behind his final resting place. Ezio moved towards the Apple, but refused to recover it, believing he had seen enough for one life. The Apple emanated a wave of light, and Ezio began speaking to Desmond. Acknowledging he was a conduit for a message, Ezio removed his bracers and sword to declare the end of his life as an Assassin. He then encouraged Desmond to make his life's sufferings worth it, and told him to listen.[14]
Return to ConstantinopleEdit
After traveling to Masyaf with Sofia, Ezio returned briefly to Constantinople, to set his and Sofia's affairs in the city to rest. Despite Selim ordering Ezio never to return, Suleiman managed to get Ezio a brief visit, as long as he behaved himself. Ezio made sure that Dogan, the new leader of the Turkish Assassins, was able to competently command the Assassins' Guild there. Ezio also oversaw the selling of Sofia's bookshop to Azize, the Assassin who was kidnapped by Ahmet and held at the top of Galata Tower as a decoy for Sofia. The bookshop was afterwards used as an outpost for the Assassins, and Ezio stored the Masyaf keys in the chamber where he found the first key, underneath the bookshop.
Later lifeEdit
Settling downEdit
- "I knew I would not have enough time to do everything. Now I worry I do not have enough time to do anything."
- ―Ezio Auditore during his later years.[src]
Ezio and Sofia married in Venice. They had a daughter, Flavia, in May 1513, and a son, Marcello in October 1514.[13] By 1524, a retired Ezio lived with his family in a villa in the Tuscan countryside. There, he tended to a vineyard, and often spent time in his study writing.[15]
Final visits to LeonardoEdit
By 1519, Ezio had suffered a chest infection and as a result devolped a serious cough, he also, had begun to write his memoir.
A visit from Machiavelli revealed grim news to Ezio, his friend Leonardo was dying. The pair traveled to Amboise, France to the manor Clos Luce, where Leonardo was staying.
Ezio learned that his friend wished to travel outside of the manor to places like England or even back to Venice where he hoped to sell his submarine idea, seeing as he was disappointed with his patron's last creation, that being of a giant mechanical lion.
The pair stayed in France for another week, and was with Leonardo until his death. Upon their departure, rumors began to spread that King Francis was with Leonardo until he died, Ezio was disgusted by this rumor and believed that anyone, even a king would do anything for publicity.
Teaching Shao JunEdit
One day in 1524, Sofia left with Marcello to visit Claudia, leaving Ezio to watch over Flavia. As he started harvesting the crops, he called for Flavia to stay where he could see her. However, as he worked, he saw a mysterious cloaked figure approach Flavia. Panicking, he sprinted over to where Flavia was, seizing the stranger by the collar, but pausing as he noticed the Assassin insignia on the necklace she wore.[15]
Afterwards the Assassin introduced herself as Shao Jun, a Chinese Assassin, who had travelled to Italy with her Mentor to learn of methods to unite the Assassins of her home land. However, Ezio refused to be involved, though he allowed her to stay in the villa for the night.[15]
Added by The following day, Ezio found Jun established in his private unroom reading a letter he had been writing. Infuriated, he ordered her out of the room, and insisted that she leave the villa.[15]
However, Jun thoughtfully recited to him the words he had written, wishing to understand their meaning. Ezio finally consented and invited her to accompany him into Florence while he ran errands. On the journey there and back, he finally spoke to her of the importance of love in the Assassin Order, saying that if she could support that which inspired hope in her people, she would succeed.[15]
However, the two of them were ambushed by a Chinese Imperial soldier in Florence. Shao Jun explained she was a concubine who escaped through joining the Assassin Order, and the soldier who attacked the two worked for the Chinese Emperor. Preparing for another attack at the villa, Ezio had his family evacuated to Machiavelli's home. Ezio and Jun were able to defend against the attack later that night. In the morning, Ezio gave Jun a small chest before her departure, telling her to only open it if she lost her way.[15]
DeathEdit
In his final hours Ezio chose to go to Florence with Sofia and Flavia while they went shopping. Ezio sat down on a bench, feeling ill, shrugging off Sofia's concerns that he should have stayed home, stating "I am home."
While Sofia and Flavia went to buy groceries, a young man approached him, jokingly berating the women of Florence. Ezio wearily responded by implying the man was the problem, not the city. Immediately afterward, Ezio began panting and holding his chest in pain. The young man quickly grabbed Ezio's hand and told Ezio to have courage, and then smiled. He told Ezio to "get some rest," and then left. Ezio looked back at him angrily, but calmed down quickly. Breathing heavily, Ezio looked over at Sofia and Flavia, smiling, before resting his head against the back of the bench, passing away peacefully.[15]
LegacyEdit
Added byEzio Auditore da Firenze's actions had a profound effect on the Order. Due to his efforts, many cities around Europe came into Assassin control and influence, ushering in a sort of Golden Age in Europe. He had a son and daughter and his descendants continued to take a leading role in the running of the Order for almost five-hundred years after his death.[5][16] A statue of him could be found in "The Mentor's" Dubai facility along with other prominent Assassins.[17]
In 2012, Ezio's descendant Desmond Miles revisited his memories to help the Assassins learn more about the incoming disaster, Minerva, the location of an Apple of Eden, and the location of the Grand Temple.[1][5][14]
Personality and characteristicsEdit
Ezio was raised as a young Florentine nobleman, living during the 15th and 16th Century. He was brought up without knowing of the Assassins' existence, or of his heritage. A seducer of women and a playful man, Ezio possessed acrobatic skills far beyond those of his peers, barring his brother. He came from an affluent background and had many friends until the deaths of his father and brothers drove him out of Florence. Forced to protect his mother and sister, Ezio became an Assassin, exacting revenge on the conspirators who had betrayed his family and plotted to seize both Florence and Venice.[1]
Initially, Ezio allowed his emotions to get the best of him, going so far as to disrespect the corpse of Vieri de' Pazzi just after his death. However, Ezio did manage to gain control of his anger and, by the time he had become a Master Assassin, could control it almost completely.[1] That said, Ezio was still prone to losing control of his emotions at the right trigger; in 1506, he pummeled Duccio de Luca in a fist-fight after he provoked Ezio by insulting his sister, Claudia, for her position as the Madame of the Rosa in Fiore.[12] Though, by the time he confronted Rodrigo Borgia, he had become more dedicated to his role as an Assassin, ceasing to use revenge as a motivation. He became more focused on enstilling a sense of fraternity among his apprentices, and a love of the cultures they would defend from the Templars.[15] He also spared the lives of targets he thought there was no need to kill, such as Micheletto Corella.
Ezio was also passionately loyal to his family. He was pained for the rest of his life after the Auditore execution. While he was able to lay the bodies of his fallen family to rest, he continued collecting feathers during his time in Italy. The feather collection was part of what helped his mother recover from her depression at the loss of her sons and husband. He always put protecting his mother and sister above his safety and his allegiance to the Assassins, quick to defend his sister's honor from Duccio and always ready to help his mother, even when she was helping her daughter lead the Courtesans in Rome. Claudia thought him a bit overbearing at times, as shown by her journal, but regardless she knew he was trying to help and stood by her brother with the Assassins.[5]
Ezio became more quiet and distant during his late 40s, reluctant to share information regarding his early life with associates such as Salaì, and being more open with those he knew better and cared for.
Near the end of his life, although he was still as loving and passionate when talking to his family, Ezio was far more gruff towards strangers such as Shao Jun. Although Ezio eventually warmed up to Shao Jun, he explained that he wanted nothing more to do with the Assassins out of fear that the Templars would endanger his wife and children. (This fear probably stemmed, in part, from the deaths of his father and brothers.) It can even be said that Ezio had grown paranoid of strangers since, in comparison to previous seasons, he had not hired any help for the grape harvest despite his worsening condition. In addition Ezio was shown to have grown somewhat forgetful, possibly increasing his uneasiness with strangers.
Ezio also seemed to be aware, or at least had a feeling, that his time was growing short, evidenced by his confession to Sofia, "I knew I would not have time to do everything, now I worry that I don't have time to do anything."
Equipment and skillsEdit
- "Despite its age, its construction is rather advanced."
- ―Leonardo da Vinci, commenting on Ezio's hidden blade.[src]
Added by Ezio Auditore da Firenze was both a highly skilled Assassin and adept Mentor. Having learned and developed a vast array of skills, such as pick-pocketing, blending, armed and unarmed combat, alternative or multiple weapon attacks, stealth and public assassination techniques, free-running and long-distance combat, he was able to use a variety of weapons including two hidden blades, the sword, throwing knives and many more. Born with the ability to use Eagle Vision, Ezio could instinctively differentiate friend from foe. After talking to his captive father, he later inherited his father's Assassin's Robe, which he would update with various armor and dyes by purchasing them throughout his life.[1]
An explorer, throughout his quests, Ezio scoured the cities he visited in search of Codex pages and seals from the six Assassin's tombs spread across northern Italy. The Codex pages allowed Leonardo da Vinci to upgrade his weaponry, including the addition of a wheellock firearm and poison needle concealed beneath his left hidden blade.[1]
By collecting the six tomb seals, Ezio gained access to the armor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad created, which was later lost during the Fall of Monteriggioni. He also collected capes that had helped him stay incognito to city guards. The only exception to this was the cape bearing the Auditore family crest, which made him easily recognizable, due to his family's history.[1]
In 1500, during the Siege of Monteriggioni, Ezio lost most of his equipment, but was able to keep his original hidden blade. His hidden blade also underwent some alterations and improvements, anonymously due toMachiavelli. Machiavelli kept the Codex additions of Ezio's hidden blade intact, however, the former leather and metal bracer were replaced with a new, fully plated version bearing a different design. Also, the former blade was replaced with a newer one that bore a black tribal design running down the center of the blade.
During his time in Rome, Ezio's usual attire would be replaced by a new outfit based on elements from both his father's clothing and Altaïr's robes. He became an adept user of the crossbow and also obtained the Armor of Brutus after stealing all the scrolls from the Followers of Romulus. In addition, Ezio also acquired poison darts as well as a prototype design of the parachute, courtesy of Leonardo da Vinci.
Added by Ezio has been a very skilled free-runner from a young age. He possibly learned how to free-run under the tutelage of his father and/or older brother. Ezio shows himself as a skilled free-runner, being able to move quickly and efficiently, such as sprinting, climbing, and jumping. In addition, he is also an enduring athlete, being able to perform all these actions without being encumbered by his large variety of weapons and armor. Despite his advancing years, Ezio Auditore skill and speed as a free-runner increased significantly, being aware of all of his surroundings as well as planning his next move very quickly and carefully, as observed from younger Assassins such as Francesco Vecellio. His speed and abilities have given him a legendary status among the Roman Thieves Guild, so far as going to convince some of the members to believe that Ezio's free-running skills are overexaggerated and impossible for someone his age.
By 1511, Ezio still retained his athletic abilities and skill in combat. His Eagle Vision had evolved into Eagle Sense, enabling him to track enemies, determine targets, and find lost books around Constantinople. He acquired the hookblade from his fellow Master Assassin and close friend, Yusuf Tazim, and quickly mastered its utility in free-running and combat. He also made use of bomb-crafting after it had been introduced to him by Yusuf and Piri Reis. After discovering the ten memoir pages of Ishak Pasha scattered across Constantinople, he explored theHagia Sophia and recovered his armor.
Despite still being as athletic as he had ever been, after he retired Ezio's physique degraded signifigantly; possibly in part due to a lack of training since he would have had no reason to keep himself fit.
By 1524, Ezio's stamina and agility had decreased to the point where he could barely run across his own grape field, whereas before he could sprint for three-hundred meters nonstop (if the thief guild challenges are anything to go by). If not for neglecting his training, then Ezio's drastic physical deterioration was due to old age and illness, though he retains his heightened sense of awareness.
Even with his severe handicaps, Ezio was still able to overpower three chinese swordsmen, who were presumably in peak condition, with only his fireplace poker. He was even able to use the poker like an improvised hook-blade, using it to throw an attacker across the room before hurling it in to his skull.
However Ezio was completely outmatched by the last enemy in terms of strength and would have definitely been killed had the attacker not succumbed to his injuries inflicted by both Ezio and Shao Jun.
Ezio took quite a beating for a man his age during the assault on his Villa, and this may have contributed to his passing not long after Shao Jun's departure, though it's more likely that his heart simply couldn't handle the amount of stress he went through.
