Romantic lifeEdit
- "A minute is all I need! [...] Wait... that came out wrong."
- ―Ezio to Cristina Vespucci, 1476.[src]
Ezio was known for his good looks, flirtatious nature and predisposition for womanizing.[1][3][4] Though the latter part of his life was centered around his hunt for Rodrigo Borgia, Ezio shared multiple romantic relationships with a number of different women.[4]
By 1476, Ezio had had many encounters with various unnamed Florentine girls and courtesans before the execution of his family, insulting Vieri de' Pazzi by suggesting that his sister seemed quite satisfied with the "handling" he gave her earlier. That year, Ezio was in a permanent relationship of sorts with Cristina Vespucci, against the wishes of her father. Following his street brawl with Vieri de' Pazzi on the Ponte Vecchio, Ezio visited Cristina during the night, despite his brother's request otherwise; he was chased out by her father the next morning, and subsequently had to flee the city guards.[1] Two years later, when Ezio returned to Florence, Cristina was married to one of her suitors, Manfredo d'Arzenta, though she admitted to still loving Ezio.[4] Eight years later, when Cristina and Manfredo traveled to Venice for Carnevale, Ezio, posing as her husband, wrote to her asking her to come to the Rio Terra degli Ogniscanti; to which Cristina complied. As both wore Carnevale masks, she did not recognize him until he kissed her. She then removed his mask and asked him how he dared kiss her like that, telling him she never wanted to see him again. When Ezio tried to understand, she explained that if he really loved her, he wouldn't simply have let Manfredo marry her. When Ezio returned to Florence again in 1497, he learned from a wounded Manfredo that he and Cristina had been attacked by Savonarola's men. Ezio tracked down Cristina and killed her assailants. As he proceeded to take Cristina to a doctor, she died in his arms, after telling him that she wished that they could have had a second chance together.[4] Ezio wrote years later that he felt something "withered" in him after her death.[14]
Before meeting with Cristina during Carnevale, whilst trying to find a way to Venice, Ezio accompanied his friend, Leonardo da Vinci, to Forlì. He was initially refused passage aboard the ship to Venice, but his fortunes changed after encountering Caterina Sforza, who had become stranded on a small island with no means of escape. Ezio rescued her, and she repaid the favor by granting him passage to Venice. She also told him that the next time he returned to Forlì, it would "be her pleasure" to entertain him. Moments later, after Ezio revealed to his close friend that Sforza was a future conquest and his type of woman, Leonardo informed Ezio of the ladies' identity and that she was married to the Count of the city.[1]
Also, at some point during his time in Forlì, Ezio encountered a girl named Amelia. During this encounter, Amelia and two of her friends were discussing whether anyone could beat their record in a horseback riding race. Ezio took on the challenge in return for a 'private riding lesson' with Amelia should he prove successful.[1]
When Ezio arrived in Venice for the first time, an unknown young woman attempted to pickpocket him. Later the same day, Ezio witnessed the woman and a group of thieves attempting to scale the Palazzo della Seta. The attempt ended in failure, and the girl was shot in the leg by an archer. Ezio intervened, defending her from Emilio Barbarigo's thugs. Upon helping her to get to safety, he learned that her name was Rosa, and that she was a member of the city's Thieves Guild. At first, Rosa's attitude towards Ezio was very aggressive and unfriendly, but after he saved her, she became much more amiable.[1]
While trying to acquire the Golden Mask, Ezio was seen flirting with many of Sister Teodora's courtesans. After the Carnevale challenges, when Ezio went up to accept the Golden Mask as his prize for victory, he was accompanied by a courtesan. After assassinating Marco Barbarigo and seeking sanctuary in the brothel, Ezio flirted with Sister Teodora, who invited several of her girls to "comfort" Ezio.[1]
Since their first meeting in Forlì, Ezio's feelings for Caterina Sforza developed, and in January 1500, Ezio had an intimate encounter with her, sleeping with her in the Villa Auditore before it wasbesieged by Cesare Borgia and his army.[5]
After her capture, Ezio sank into a state of near depression, where his feelings for Caterina conflicted with his suspicion she was merely using him. Despite this suspicion, Ezio was determined to rescue her from the Castel Sant'Angelo, disregarding the insistence of Machiavelli that Cesare and Rodrigo Borgia be the focus of his attention.[9]
During their escape she hesitantly explained to him that the night they had shared had only been in the name of politics, as she had needed his help in defending Forlì. Ezio continued to hope that his feelings for Caterina were reciprocated, though she soon informed him otherwise. Despite his subsequent decision to no longer pursue Sforza's affections, the two remained close allies for the sake of the Brotherhood.[9]
While on a ship arriving at Constantinople, Ezio briefly saw Sofia Sartor, who was traveling from Rhodes and returning to her bookstore. He attempted to talk to her, but she was too distracted to pay attention to him. Later, Ezio met Sofia again at her store while searching for the Maysaf keys. The two worked out a bargain: if she helped Ezio track down the keys, he would retrieve and give her some of the books the Polos has hid.
In an attempt to keep Sofia away from the Assassin and Templar fight, Ezio kept Sofia in the dark about the purpose of his search, and attempted to keep his relationship with her platonic. However, as time went on Ezio grew to admire Sofia more, and would often linger at her shop to be with her. Sofia also came to love Ezio, asking him to be her escort to Adrianopoli (which Ezio had to reluctantly decline due to his search). She also arranged a picnic for the two of them in a park near Hagia Sophia.
When Ezio left Constantinople to assassinate Manuel Palaiologos, he asked Yusuf Tazim to keep Sofia safe. However, Prince Ahmet (the Templar leader in Constantinople), knowing of their relationship, dispatched a group of soldiers to kidnap her. While Yusuf managed to kill many of the soldiers, it wasn't enough. Yusuf was killed, and Sofia was captured. Upon learning this, Ezio went into a rage and attacked the Arsenal. He eventually submitted to Ahmet's demands, and the two worked together to recover the Maysaf keys from Ahmet. The two eventually traveled to Altaïr's library in May 1512. Once Ezio decided to retire as an Assassin, the two left Maysaf, got married, and moved to a Villa outside Firenze. Their marriage produced two children—Flavia (b. 1513) and Marcello (b 1514). By 1524, Ezio's health was deteriorating, and he eventually died of a heart attack in Firenze. In his final letter to Sofia, he commented that the love he had for Sofia and their children was what kept him going in his old age.[15]
TriviaEdit
- Assassin's Creed II
- The names Ezio and Altaïr have similar meanings and origins. Altaïr means "the flying one," while Ezio means "eagle." Altaïr also comes from the name of the brightest star in the constellation Aquila (which also translates to "eagle").
- Ezio's Animus database in Assassin's Creed II only details his life before he became an Assassin, holding no information on his life within the Order; unlike his database entry in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
- Throughout the game, Ezio will remove his hood during cutscenes only if he is wearing his father's Assassin robes.
- Just like Altaïr and Desmond, Ezio has a scar on his mouth. It was acquired after the mission "Boys Will Be Boys" during Sequence 1, when Vieri de' Pazzi threw a rock at his face.
- Ezio has been seriously injured in battle twice in ACII. The first was when Checco Orsi stabbed him in the right side of his lower abdomen during the Battle of Forlì. The second injury was received when Rodrigo Borgia stabbed him in the left side of his abdomen during the Confrontation in the Vatican.
- If the player chooses to play Sequence 13 before Sequence 12 by clearing the DLC cache, Ezio's beard will disappear until the player kills Checco Orsi.
- In a very rare glitch, after completing the blending mission for Paola, Ezio's hood will appear down when it is supposed to be up. This shows that the character model for Ezio is the same as Desmond.

- Ezio's title was misspelled, his biography lists him as "Ezio Auditore de Firenze" instead of "Ezio Auditoreda Firenze."
- Despite taking place after the Battle of Forlì, Ezio is depicted without a beard.

- Interestingly in-game, Ezio does say to Leonardo that he lost all of his Codex inventions, even though only the second hidden blade and metal cestus are lost.
- Ezio is able to perform a climb leap before the Villa Attack, but requires the Climb Leap Glove from Leonardo subsequent to being injured.
