==Summary==
Ezio Auditore da Firenze (1459 – 1524) is one of the titular protagonists of the Assassin's Creed series. Born a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance, he would eventually grow up to become 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 and enjoyed the luxurious life of a playboy until the age of 17, when he witnessed the hanging of his father and two brothers, Federico and Petruccio under the false count of treason. Forced to flee his birthplace with his remaining family members—his mother and sister—Ezio took refuge with his uncle Mario in the Tuscan town of Monteriggioni, at the Villa Auditore.
After learning of his heritage from Mario, after some initial hesitation, Ezio began his Assassin training and set about on his quest for vengeance against the Italian Rite of the Templar Order, and their Grand Master, the Spaniard 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 Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, but also to save the cities of Florence, Venice, and Rome from Templar rule.
He ensured the future travels of Christopher Columbus to the New World and that they remained unencumbered, liberated Rome from Borgia rule, and prevented Ercole Massimo's Cult of Hermes from rising to power, helping spread the Renaissance and Assassin ideals of independence and free will throughout Italy.
In the years that followed, Ezio began a quest to rediscover the lost history of the Order. Travelling to the aged fortress of Masyaf to learn more of the Assassins before him, he discovered it overrun with Templars and made his way to the city of Constantinople to uncover the location of the Masyaf keys which, as he discovered, would unlock the fortress's fabled hidden library when brought together, thus bringing him into the Ottoman-Byzantine Templar conflict.
A decade later, Ezio had retired from his life as an Assassin and resided in a Tuscan villa with his wife, Sofia Sartor, and his two children; Flavia and Marcello. Sometime after helping teach the Chinese Assassin Shao Jun the ways of the Order so that she would be able to rebuild the Brotherhood back in her homeland, Ezio died of a heart attack at the age of 65, during a visit to Florence with his wife and daughter.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: At least Small Building level+ by himself (Being a fully-fledged Isu-Hybrid having directly descended from Adam and Eve themselves and being a high-ranking Master Assassin, he should easily be stronger than the Minotaur and should also be superior to most other Isu-Hybrids. Learned all of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's skills and abilities via the Codex and the Masyaf Keys. Can not only trade blows with comparably-durable enemies capable of harming him and damaging his armor sets, he can even counter them with his own blows, and he can also harm himself. Traded blows with and overpowered Rodrigo Borgia thrice in a row, even when the latter was empowered with the Papal Staff of Eden in their last two fights. Fought on equal grounds with Rodrigo's son Cesare, and eventually overwhelmed him) and with normal bombs (Can easily blow up wooden structures and stone walls without issue. His bombs have a radius of over 4 meters, though they can easily harm people of comparable durability, and Assassins and Byzantine Templars with far weaker bombs than his could effortlessly destroy reinforced barricades and siege machines.Assassin's Creed Revelations (2011)- Den Defense Missions Piri Reis blew up entire hulls of multiple large ships with the same bombs as Ezio during the Ottoman-Venetian WarAssassin's Creed Revelations (2011)- Piri Reis: Sticky Situations), higher with swords, melee weapons, hidden blades, Hidden Gun, crossbow, normal artillery, the Staff of Eden (Unknowingly enhanced his own abilities when he used the Papal Staff to open the Basilica Vault after defeating Rodrigo Borgia) and the Apple of Eden (Apple of Eden clones are powerful enough to easily overwhelm the likes of Altaïr, Bayek and even Kassandra). Building level+ with Leonardo da Vinci's war machines (Blew up multiple factories, reinforced stone cannon barracks, their towers and burned down several Borgia ships with Leonardo da Vinci's war machines, and is capable of destroying other comparable war machines.Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2011)- Leonardo's War Machines Leonardo's tank is this powerful), artillery (The cannons he used could easily one-shot multiple wheeled cannons and destroy massive siege towers in 3 hits. Also capable of one-shotting Leonardo's war machines like the Tank. Also made use of Greek Fire and left an entire harbor full of warships in flamesAssassin's Creed Revelations (2011)- Setting Sail) and his strongest bombs (In his chase for Cesare in Spain, he used Leonardo's bombs to blow up several warships, confirmed in the Brotherhood novel. Blew up the lighthouse that held up the Great Chain of the Golden Horn by using a bomb that had 50 times the power of his usual bombs) generally. Even higher with preparation (With enough preparations he managed to blow up the massive gunstock caches of Cappadocia and cover the entire underground city of Derinkuyu and leave it completely uninhabitable). Can also negate durability with the Apple of Eden and poisoned weaponry
Speed: At least Supersonic+ (Easily deflected arrows at point-blank range and outran arrow hails multiple times during the events of Assassin's Creed II Discovery. Easily kept up with his Apple of Eden clones. Kept up with and dodged attacks from a Staff-amped Rodrigo Borgia, with those being amplified by the Pieces of Eden being able to fight on par with the likes of Jacob Frye, Kassandra, Bayek and Nikolai Orelov. Capable of dodging arquebus and musket shots simply by sidestepping and can even run faster than them. Even in old age he could easily keep up with the more-agile-and-flexible Shao Jun, who herself is capable of dodging hand-gonne bullets at this speed, and was also responsible for teaching her to be able to do so. Barely managed to save Jun from an oncoming hand-gonne shot), higher with the Staff of Eden and bombs. Supersonic with artillery, Leonardo's war machines (Should be comparable to other smoothbore cannons due to Leonardo modifying them with the Apple of Eden's help) and the Hidden Gun (The Hidden Gun was based on a wheellock mechanism and thus should have comparable speeds to wheellock pistols, which can easily hit over 438 m/s). Athletic Human with the tank (Some guards often got overwhelmed by it, though they were jogging and not running at top speed). Superhuman with rowboats, Subsonic with the Flying Machine (The Flying Machine relies on diving methods, and in this case, it would not be much slower than most other diving apparatuses of the modern world today and would most likely be on par with most birds of prey) and parachutes (Should be on par with most modern parachutes), Subsonic attack speed with his crossbow
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Easily overpowered a Staff-amped Rodrigo Borgia, who should be on par with Pythagoras and Tsar Alexander III, and could easily defeat Ezio's Apple-generated clones, with Apple-generated clones being capable of easily overpowering the likes of Bayek. Easily and vastly superior to Ercole Massimo, who tossed a man into a giant stone block hard enough to send it off of the ledge and even take off a chunk of a nearby pillar it was stuck against. Repeatedly wrestled with Cesare Borgia and eventually overpowered him, and Cesare himself was an accomplished bullfighter, being capable of wrestling with bulls and killing them all by himself without the aid of any of his assistants. Can easily swing around sledgehammers like swords with just one arm. Can easily twist heads a full 360 degrees with brute force), higher with the Staff of Eden
Striking Strength: At least Small Building level+, higher with the Staff of Eden
Durability: At least Small Building level+ (Tanked cannonballs slamming into him multiple times in a row. Took multiple hits from Rodrigo Borgia and his Staff of Eden and survived being sent flying by its power, and also survived being stabbed by the latter, with the Pope now being able to overpower Apple clones on his lonesome. Can tank his own bombs at point-blank range with no damage. Should be on par with most other Isu-Hybrids, who can tank explosions on these levels, fight with the likes of Darius, take hits from Olympos Projects like the Minotaur and no-sell energy Isu energy beams powerful enough to vaporize three human beings and reduce them to a bloody mist at the slightest touch, said energy beams having the same properties and even working in the exact same manner as the energy-based powers of the Isu themselves, their technology and all of their Pieces of Eden, like the Sword, Spear, Staff and the Koh-i-noor), higher with armors (Both the armor sets of Altaïr and Brutus are basically equal in terms of functionality and durability, with Altaïr's armor having brushed off the same cannonballs as Ezio himself, as he later got the armor back from Monteriggioni's ruins in pristine condition sometime after Cesare's death, and Altaïr's armor is made of the same technology and materials as the rest of the Pieces of Eden) and the Staff of Eden. Building level+ with the Naval Cannon and the Tank (Both the tank and naval cannon could casually no-sell cannonballs that could one-shot gigantic buildings and fortress walls with ease. Can withstand their own firepower)
Stamina: Superhuman (Went on for several decades hunting down the killers of his father and brothers with little rest, food or water. Has survived being stabbed, shot and thrown off tall buildings multiple times and still managed to fight at full power as if nothing happened to him, such as when a Staff-amped Rodrigo Borgia stabbed him through his armor, merely calling the stab as something his armor brushed off,Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- Mass Exodus and when he got shot at multiple points of his body and fell from several storeys right after and still managed to later on and blitz several armed guards without issue,Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- Emergency Exit later on freerunning throughout the Auditore crypt, and in the ensuing conflict, not once did he suffer from exhaustionAssassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- Modern Day: Auditore Crypt Singlehandedly blitzed and wiped out several enemy regiments during the Battle of Viana.Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- Pax Romana Easily defeated hordes of mercenaries in several fistfighting competitions that extended multiple rounds, and Ezio won all of them without ever tiring. Even after being stabbed in the side, Ezio managed to wipe out every single enemy before falling unconscious.Assassin's Creed Reflections Issue #1 Ezio's abilities overall, gave him legendary status among the Roman Thieves Guild,Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- Guild Challenges (Thieves, Challenge 2)Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- For the Fans so far as going to convince some of the members to believe that Ezio's freerunning skills were exaggerated, and blatantly impossible for someone his age, forcing him to prove otherwise.Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- Up To SpeedAssassin's Creed Brotherhood (2010)- Young At Heart By the time he was 52, word had reached Constantinople of his feats, leaving even the best Assassins there in awe of his amazing endurance, with some even claiming him to still have the strength and speed of a twenty-year-old.Assassin's Creed Revelations (2011)- The Vizier, Part 1 One of his most notorious feats of endurance involves him sprinting at top speed for over 300 meters uninterrupted and still appear completely unexhausted.Assassin's Creed Revelations (2011)- Guild Challenges (Thieves, Set 1) Even in old age, he managed to overpower several heavily armed Chinese men with only a fireplace poker and managed to do immensely strenuous acrobatic maneuvers while suffering from several ailments and handicapsAssassin's Creed: Embers)
Range: Standard melee range, extended melee range with equipment, several meters with throwing knives, a few dozen meters with the Apple of Eden (He could only use it to kill a few large group of guards before the energy drain became too much for him to handle), several tens to possibly hundreds of meters with his Hidden Gun and Crossbow. Several hundreds of meters with war machines and Greek Fire. Several kilometers with cannons
Standard Equipment: Dual Hidden Blades, Hookblade, hidden gun, throwing daggers/knives, Several sets of swords (Including broadswords, longswords, rapiers, schiavonas, scimitars, falchions, sabres, kilij and a personal Yatagahn sword), metal cestus (Later discards it by Revelations), Altaïr's personal sword (c. 1486-1500, then again from c.1501-his death after his recruits recovered the sword twice), a Captain's Sword (1500-1506), Staff of Eden (Temporarily), Apple of Eden #6 (1486-1500, 1503-1506), dagger (Specifically a Notched Cinquedea, Brutus's dagger, Romani stiletto and Sultan Mehmet's dagger as his personal choice), axes, sledgehammers, war hammers, maces, spears, poisoned darts and needle, crossbow, personal bombs (smoke bombs, poison bombs, cherry bombs, thunder bombs, stink bombs, blood bombs, coin bombs that made use of pyrite and caltrop bombs to leave soldiers incapacitated for a brief period of time), Leonardo da Vinci's war machines, Parachutes, several sets of armors, including the personal armor sets of Marcus Junius Brutus (c. 1503-1507, discards it at an unknown period of time after Cesare's death in favor of Altaïr's armor), Altaïr (c. 1491-1500, then again during 1507-1510, discards it shortly before he leaves for Masyaf) and the Ottoman vizier Ishak Pasha (c. 1511), Altaïr's 5 Isu Memory Seals (Better known as the Masyaf Keys, leaves them in Sofia's bookshop in 1513), can also make use of household objects like brooms, fireplace pokers and whatnot to aid him in combat
Intelligence: Genius. Ezio was both a highly skilled Assassin and an adept Mentor, having learned and developed a vast array of skills, such as picking pockets, blending into crowds, armed and unarmed combat, alternative or multiple weapon attacks, stealth and public assassination techniques, free-running and long-range combat. He was also able to use a variety of weapons and gadgets, including two Hidden Blades, a sword, throwing knives, smoke bombs, short blade and many more. Ezio was a very skilled freerunner from a young age. He learned how to free-run under the tutelage of either his father or older brother, and was able to move quickly and efficiently in sprinting, climbing, and jumping. Also, he was an extremely enduring and strong athlete, being able to perform all these actions without being encumbered by his large variety of weapons and armor at all. Although Ezio wasn't raised as an Assassin from the beginning like Altaïr, throughout his life he has stored a vast amount of knowledge about combat, was trained several years to be an Assassin, and despite his advancing years, Ezio's skill and speed as a freerunner increased significantly, being aware of all of his surroundings as well as planning his next move very quickly and carefully, as observed by younger Assassins such as Francesco Vecellio. Ezio's actions, combined with the fact that he was also a renowned tactician and highly-effective military leader due to his charisma, also left a profound effect on the entire Brotherhood, as the entirety of Europe and the Mediterranean came under Assassin control and ushered in a Golden Age and could fully enjoy the benefits of the Renaissance thanks to his efforts, with his name being hailed as legendary as far as the Ottoman Empire even amongst ordinary civilians, and his descendants would continue to lead the Assassin order as a whole for almost 500 years after his death. He could easily interact with First Civilization architecture without having any knowledge of them firsthand. Ezio, due to his immense experience with various Pieces of Eden, ultimately decided to become a writer, his passion already being fueled by the fact that he had been an avid reader since he was a child, collecting several famous books scattered across Constantinople and whatnot, and he eventually wrote his own Codex which would later end up in the hands of Abstergo Industries. As a result of his journey, Ezio eventually also managed to attain all of Altaïr's skills, secrets and experiences thanks to Altaïr's codex and his memory seals.
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses, but has survived situations that would kill most peak-level human beings. Will put himself in harms' way to protect innocents and loved ones. Incredibly protective of his family and loved ones, and his sense of honor and justice can often get the best of him. As of Brotherhood, medicine only numbs his pain, forcing his body to regenerate on its own over time. Maximizing the Apple's range rapidly drains his life-force (Mostly due to being inexperienced with using its powers at that time, though the Apple counters this by healing him back just as quickly. Eagle Sense takes some time to thoroughly identify a person and their characteristics should Ezio choose to be more specific with his search or see his target hiding amongst a crowd wearing simimlar clothing. The tank requires at least 4 people to properly operate. Both the Flying Machine and the Flying Bomber require heat sources and convection of air to stay afloat (The Flying Bomber's cannon negates this). The Naval Cannon required Ezio to continuously switch from boat mode to cannon mode, leaving him vulnerable to oncoming fire during this switching period. The poison blade's composition was so fragile that it broke upon use, forcing Ezio to refill once depleted. Developed an infection in the lung by 1519 due to his time in the vineyard which, combined with him completely retiring from Assassin life and training, led to his health rapidly declining, causing Ezio to become more paranoid around strangers.
