Bios:

Ezio Auditore da Firenze (1459 – 1524) was a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance, and, unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers, a Master Assassin and the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, a title which he held from 1503 to 1513. He is also an ancestor of William and Desmond Miles, as well as Clay Kaczmarek.

A member of the House of Auditore, Ezio remained unaware of his Assassin heritage until the age of 17, when he witnessed the hanging of his father Giovanni and two brothers, Federico and Petruccio. Forced to flee his birthplace with his remaining family members—his mother Maria and sister Claudia—Ezio took refuge with his uncle Mario in the Tuscan town of Monteriggioni, at the Villa Auditore. After learning of his heritage from Mario, Ezio began his Assassin training and set about on his quest for vengeance against the Italian Templars and their Grand Master Rodrigo Borgia, who had ordered the execution of his kin.

During his travels, Ezio managed to not only unite the pages of the Codex, written by the Levantine Assassins' Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, but also to save the cities of Florence, Venice, and Rome from Templar rule. He ensured Christoffa Corombo's future travels to the Americas, liberated Rome from Borgia rule, prevented Ercole Massimo's Cult of Hermes from rising to power, and helped spread the Renaissance and Assassin ideals of independence and free will throughout Italy.
