CHARACTERS


Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Like Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio is an ancestor of Desmond Miles, though he himself is not a direct descendant of Altaïr. He is also the earliest known link between the lineages of "Subject 16" and that of Desmond.[1] To continue with the tradition of the reference to an eagle, Ezio is derived from the Greek word aetos, meaning "eagle". Ezio was born into the nobility on June 24, 1459, in the city of Florence. Ezio led an affluent, care-free lifestyle until a tragic turn of events changed his life forever. Betrayed by corrupt Nobles, Ezio's family were the victims of an evil plot that ultimately took the lives of his father and brothers. Of the Auditore men, only Ezio was able to escape because the capturing happened while Ezio was running errands for his father. Through Ezio's help however, both his mother and younger sister managed to survive, finding a way to the escape the city with him. According to the Florentine Guard's record books, Ezio appeared as a womanizer, with guards rarely able to capture him.
