==Biography==
===Early Life===
Ezio Auditore was born on June 24th, 1459 to Giovanni Auditore, a member of the Assassin order, and the Italian noblewoman Maria de Mozzi. After his birth, Ezio appeared stillborn to his mother, but began to move and cry after getting words of encouragement from his father. Alongside his siblings, Federico, Claudia and Petruccio, Ezio lived a life of luxury due to his father being the head of Auditore international bank. During the mid-1400s, Ezio was under the tutelage of the banker Giovanni Tornabuoni, and became a rival to Vieri de' Pazzi after stopping Vieri from forcing himself on Cristina Vespucci. Additionally, Ezio became a well known womanizer and lived a somewhat hedonistic lifestyle, as his brother notes that he spends his money on either women or wine.
===Assassin's Creed II===
In 1476, Ezio would fight his rival Vieri once again when the latter insulted the Auditore name, leading to a brawl in the strets of Florence. Federico would assist him in the fight, but stopped Ezio from chasing Vieri due to having a fresh scar on his lip from a rock thrown at him. After receiving medical attention and racing with his brother, Ezio decided to pay Cristina a visit after seeing her window open. The following morning, Ezio was chased off by Cristina's father, and returned home where he scolded by his father, who admitted that Ezio's actions reminded him of his past days. Giovanni sent Ezio to give Francesco de' Pazzi a letter that was on the murder of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, but de' Pazzi was unable to receive it due to him not being there.
Returning home, Ezio assisted Petruccio and Claudia with their problems, he helped his mother pick up some paintings from Leonardo da Vinci. Meeting with his father once again, Ezio was tasked by Giovanni to give two letters to his contacts and obtain a third letter from a pigeon coop. During his task, Ezio was left confused after speaking with the contacts, and returned home to find his home ransacked. He was informed by the family housemaid Annetta that his father and brothers were imprisoned, and decided to visit them while avoiding the city's guards. Giovanni instructed Ezio to find a hidden chest to obtain his robes and give a letter to Uberto Alberti, and Ezio succeed in his task, but didn't know that Alberti was a conspirator for the Templar Order.
At the Piazza della Signoria, Ezio arrived to see his father and brothers on trial by Alberti, who denied having knowledge about any documents. Ezio witnessed his father and brothers be hanged in a public crowd, and attempted to attack Uberto while screaming that he would pay for his crimes. When guards came to kill Ezio, he escaped and found shelter from Annetta's sister, Paola, who also ran a local brothel. He declared his need for vengeance on Alberti, but before he could do so, Paola decided to teach him how to survive the streets by pickpocketing and blending into crowds to avoid guards. Once he got his father's hidden blades repaired by Leonardo, Ezio enacted his vengeance by killing Alberti in the courtyard of the Basilica di Santa Croce.
Upon killing Alberti, Ezio told the crowd watching that the Auditore line wasn't dead, and fled the area after claiming the documents and a letter from Uberto's corpse. After giving the letter to Uberto's wife, Ezio decided to flee Florence since he and his family were know wanted. Knowing of his uncle that lived in Monteriggioni, Ezio decided to take his mother and sister there for a while before they headed to Spain. While walking to the villa, Ezio and his family encountered Vieri and his followers, but were saved by uncle Mario and his mercenaries. Mario then informed Ezio of his heritage, that their family were members of the Assassin order who battled against the Templar Order. Additionally, Ezio was taught swordplay due to his lack of skill, and reluctantly decided to continue his training with Mario so he could better protect Maria and Claudia on the road to Spain.
Despite receiving a year of training, Ezio still refused to his assassin heritage, much to the sadness of Mario, who decided to track Vieri with his men. Hearing of his this information, Ezio traveled to San Gimignano out of guilt since Vieri was only attacking Monteriggioni due to him being there. Meeting with Mario at the city, the two awaited for nightfall and Ezio watched a meeting between Vieri, his father Francesco, and a man named Jacopo de' Pazzi on their schemes. Ezio would succeed in eliminating Vieri, and attempted to have the latter give him information, but Vieri instead insulted Auditore. After being scorned by his uncle for insulting Vieri's corpse instead of following assassin tradition, Ezio found a letter from Giovanni Giocondo to Francesco de' Pazzi and a codex page.
Returning to the villa, Ezio was informed by Mario that Rodrigo Borgia was the head of the Templar Order in Italy, and he decided to kill the Templars that conspired the murders of his father and brothers. In 1478, Ezio returned to Florence to get more information on the Pazzi conspiracy, but first reunited with Cristina. Afterward, Ezio reunited with Leonardo, who deciphered a codex page that allowed him to create a second hidden blade. Auditore would receive the help of La Volpe in learning of the Pazzi conspiracy, as he managed to find a hidden underground that allowed him to eavesdrop on a templar meeting. He discovered that the Pazzi planed on murdering Lorenzo de Medici to gain more power over Florence, but Ezio came in the nick of time to prevent Lorenzo's assassination.
After saving Lorenzo, his lieutenant Poliziano gave Ezio's Francesco's whereabouts, which allowed Auditore to eliminate the conspirator. Once Francesco was killed, Ezio was thanked by Lorenzo, who cleared the Auditore name of its charges, and gave a list of the conspirators that escaped. Needing to prepare to face the Pazzi conspirators, Ezio received a poison blade upgrade from Leonardo, and was further trained by Mario at the villa. The assassin would succeed in assassinating the conspirators, which lead him to stalk Jacopo to follow him to a meeting with Rodrigo. Ezio stayed far as he watched the meeting, but Rodrigo would critically wound Jacopo due to his cowardice and revealed that he knew that the assassin would follow Jacopo. Rodrigo left the area as he ordered his men to kill Ezio, but Auditore fought them off and gave Jacopo a mercy killing.
After eliminating Jacopo, Ezio decided to continue his mission to eliminate the conspirators, and traveled to the Apennine Mountains with Leonardo. While needing to travel to Venice, Ezio would be assisted by Caterina Sforza, the lady of Forlì after helping her reach land via boat. Once there, Ezio would become a valuable ally to the Thieves Guild, a group dedicated to defeat Emilio Barbarigo and his tyranny. After helping the guild save their members, kill defectors, and learning how to climb leap, Ezio assassinated Emilo at the palace. Despite assassinating Emilio, a new doge was put into place after Carlo and Silvio Barbarigo planned the assassination of the current one - Giovanni Mocenigo. Ezio attempted to prevent the poisoning of Giovanni, but failed since he had to use Leonardo's flying machine at a long distance to reach the palace. Carlo had poisoned the dodge and was assassinated by Ezio, whom was blamed on the murder of Mocenigo.
Returning to Venice during the city's carnevale, Ezio asked Leonardo to decipher another codex page, which allowed him to create wrist gun. He also gave Ezio a mask to hide himself from the guards, and the assassin went on to locate Antonio, the leader of the Thieves Guild, so they could eliminate Marco. Ezio succeeded in his plans on eliminating Marco with the assistance of Teodora, a religious director of a local brothel, by participating in a competition and claiming a golden mask to get close to Barbarigo. After killing Marco, Ezio went on to assassinate Silvio and Dante Moro, who reveled that they were planning to leaving to Cyprus. Two years later, Ezio learned from Rosa of Templar vessel arriving to Venice, and learned from Leonardo that the codex pages spoke of a prophet that would appear when a "second piece" would be brought to the floating city. Ezio realized that the Borgia was planning on finding the vault, and that the Templar traveled to Cyprus to retrieve the second piece.
Wanting to get close to Borgia, Ezio impersonated a courier and confronted the Templar, and engaged in the battle with him after when he referred to himself as the prophet. During the fight, Ezio was assisted by Mario, La Volpe, Antonio, Bartolomeo, Paola and Teodora, allowing them to secure the piece of Eden from Borgia. Niccolò Machiavelli arrived and explained to Ezio that his allies were all members of the Assassin order, and that he could be possibly the prophet spoken of in the codex. That night, Ezio was initiated into the order by Machiavelli, receiving the brand on his hand performing the leap of faith. 
After examining the piece of Eden with Leonardo and Machiavelli, Ezio participated in bringing the piece to the Rocca di Ravaldino under the guard of Caterina. While in Forli, Ezio learned that Caterina and the land was being attacked by the Orsi brothers, who had previously assassinated Caterina's husband on her orders. When the brothers kidnapped Caterina's children, Ezio rescued them and assassinated one of the brothers, but learned that it was a trap so the second brother could steal the piece of Eden. Ezio went on to eliminate the last Orsi brother, but was wounded by him, causing Auditore to fall unconscious as an monk came and stole the apple of Eden. He was nursed back to health by Caterina, who gave him her late husband's map, and advised him to find the hooded monk in Forli. During his quest, Ezio rescued the monk Darby O'Callahn, who gave him the name of the hooded monk as Girolamo Savonarola, and told him that Savanoraola was possibly in Florence since he studied there.
Returning to Florence, Ezio found that Savanoraola had taken control of the land by using the apple of Eden, but that the citizens wanted to fight back as the leading men of the city were under Girolamo's control. The assassin then went on to eliminate the leading men of the city as Machiavelli, La Volpe and Paola rallied the people against Savanoraola. During the chaos in Florence, Ezio attempted to save Cristina, but found that she was mortally wounded, causing her demise. Once Ezio completed his mission, Savanoraola was sentenced to be burned at the stake, and the assassin managed to retrieve the apple of Eden from a Borgia soldier attempting to steal it. Ezio later assassinated Savanoraola to prevent him from being brutally burned alive, and gave a speech to the people before reuniting with his fellow assassins.
At Mario's villa, Ezio assembled the codex pages which revealed a map that located the vault in Rome, causing the assassins to realize that Borgia wanted access to the vault by gaining the papal staff (which Mario deducted was a piece of Eden). Ezio then traveled to the vatican in Rome where he confronted Borgia, whom he battled by using the apple of Eden, but Rodrigo managed to get the apple by using the papal staff. Ezio then defeated Borgia at the door of the vault, but decided to spare his target since he saw that it wouldn't bring his father and brothers back. Once Rodrigo was defeated, Ezio entered the vault and encountered Minerva, who revealed that Ezio was a vessel for a message to "Desmond" to send a warning on what would happen in the twenty-first century.
===Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood===
Left with many questions after Minerva's message, Ezio left Rome with Mario and discussed of what he saw to his fellow assassins at the villa. He revealed that he spared Rodrigo, which angered Machiavelli, who decided to return to Rome due to fearing that Borgia would strike soon. Ezio stayed at the villa by spending the night with Caterina, but the city would be attacked by Rodrigo's son, Cesare, who proceeded to capture Caterina and kill Mario. Ezio was left wounded, but managed to escape the city with his family and the citizens by going through the tunnels of the sanctuary. Escaping to the outside, Ezio told his mother and sister to head to Florence while he would go to Rome to stop the Borgia's. While traveling there, he fell unconscious off his horse due to his wound, but was found by Machiavelli and nursed back to health by Margherita dei Campi.
Ezio met with Machiavelli, and the assassin decided to eliminate the Borgia's control over Rome while also gaining allies by forming the courtesans, mercenaries, and thieves. While building the Assassins in Roma by recruiting trainees, Ezio came across the Followers of Romulus, a cult who terrorized citizens via the control of the Templars. He then went on to save Caterina by infiltrating the Borgia stronghold, where he also encountered Lucrezia Borgia. After saving her, Ezio continued his campaign against the Borgias, eliminating the Banker and learning who was the mole who betrayed the Assassin order. Additionally, Ezio would reunite with Leonardo, and would often go to him to get new gadgets during his quest. Seeing his leadership skills by bringing the order to its height in Roma, Machiavelli decided to step down and made Ezio mentor. 
After being made mentor of the order, Ezio decided to take guidance from Machiavelli in eliminating the Borgias for good to end their corrupting influence. Infiltrating the Castel once again, Ezio watched as Cesare kill Rodrigo and betray his trust with Lucrezia as he wanted the apple of Eden. He then gave Rodrigo a proper passing, and Lucrezia decided to tell the assassin where Cesare was going due to her brothers betrayal. Ezio managed to obtain the apple and escaped from the area, and would make his final stand against Cesare with his fellow assassins. During the final stand, Cesare attempted to flee, but he was apprehended on orders of Pope Julius II due to the crimes of murder and incest. Despite the success of stopping Cesare, Ezio was troubled by the Borgia's comments that he couldn't be held down by chains or could be killed by a man.
Ezio's fears were proven true when he saw Cesare escape by looking through the apple, and also gave Leonardo money due to the lost his patron. He would continue to hunt down Cesare, but would also focus on assisting the pope by acting as a councilor, and would place the apple into the vault within the Colosseum. Later on, Ezio would go on to investigate the disappearance of Leonardo, and was assisted in finding him by Leonardo's apprentice, Salaì. The assassin eventually confronted Cesare during the siege of Viana, where he finally eliminated his enemy despite the latter's attempts to escape. After dealing with the Borgia, Ezio returned to the villa to leave a clue for the password needed to open the vault's entrance.
===Assassin's Creed: Revelations===
During his time as mentor, Ezio found a document from his father that mentioned a library hidden beneath Masyaf, which was the home of the legendary assassin Altaïr. Wanting to learn what was hidden within the library, Ezio traveled to Masyaf, but encountered the Byzantine Templars, whom also wanted to open the library as well. Ezio was captured by the Templars, but he managed to escape and eliminated Templar captain Leandros. During his confrontation of Leandros, he learned that the Templars had obtained one of the five Masyaf keys, and claimed the journal from the Templar. The assassin then traveled to Constantinople to find the four Masyaf keys, and met with the Ottoman Assassin Brotherhood under the leadership of Yusuf Tazim. He was informed by Yusuf of how the Templars were trying to take control over Constantinople while the Sultan was not in the city, and Ezio was introduced to new gadgets that the Ottoman Brotherhood were using, such as the hook blade or bombs.
Ezio would meet Sofia Sartor, who assisted him in his quest to find the Masyaf keys by decoding maps to find the underground locations. Retrieving his first key, Ezio returned to the assassin hideout and experienced a memory of Altaïr saving his mentor and becoming a master assassin. While trying to locate the keys and fighting against the Byzantine Templars, Ezio would recruit new assassins into the order to become leaders of dens in Constantinople. Ezio would go on to work with Prince Suleiman on investigating the corrupted Janissary Corps, and learned that Janissary captain Tarik Barleti was exchanging weapons for the Byzantine Templar member Manuel Palaiologos. The assassin informed Suleiman about Tarik, and the prince tasked Ezio with eliminating Tarik to protect his uncle, who was also named the new Sultan, Ahmet.
Though Ezio succeeded in eliminating Tarik, he learned from the captain that he was actually doing so to apprehend Palaiologos. Regretful for his actions, he decided to keep Tarik's last words close on stopping the Byzantine's to honor the Sultan. After obtaining the last three keys with the assistance of Sofia, Ezio traveled to Cappadocia, a location given to him by Tarik, to eliminate Manuel. He assisted Tarik's spies in killing Shahkulu and managed to confront and kill Manuel, but the templar revealed that he wasn't just the only member of the Templar Order. Ahmet arrived and revealed his allegiance to the Templars, and ordered Ezio to give him the last Maysaf key if he wanted Sofia to remain safe. The assassin escaped from Cappadocia and relieved the last memory of Altaïr before returning to Constantinople, where he found Sofia had been captured and Yusuf killed.
Swearing vengeance against Ahmet for his crimes, Ezio saved Sofia and confronted the prince and prevented the Templar from getting to the library in Syria. Ahmet would be killed by his brother Selim, who had been chosen to be the new Sultan, but spared Ezio with a warning to never return to Constantinople. Entering the library with Sofia, the two discovered the library only contained the corpse of Altaïr holding one last Maysaf key. Getting the key, Ezio saw a memory of Altaïr's final moments in the library, and the location of his apple within said library. Though Ezio didn't take the apple due to seeing too much of it in his life, he gave a message to Desmond, telling him to make the suffering he had been through worth it.
===Assassin's Creed: Embers===
Ezio would go on to marry Sofia and and two children with her, and decided to retire from the order due to his age. Despite retiring from the order, he would continue to assist by supervising Hiram Stoddard and Giovanni Borgia with their assassin training. During his later years, he would become a mentor to Shao Jun, and the retired assassin would peacefully pass away in Florence at the age of sixty-five.
=== Assassin's Creed: Valhalla ===
While not physically appearing Ezio's voice can be briefly heard during the Jotunheim mission where Eivor, under hypnosis, relives the memories of her ancestor Odin and encounters Minerva (known as "Gundloo" in Eivor's memories) while transmitting her message to "the prophet". Initially Minerva loses the connection to Ezio mid-transmission and leaves to attend to Odin's inquiries but after both leaving Ezio can be heard asking "who are you?" as showcased in the final level of ACII.
In the modern day storyline in one of several recordings of Desmond that Layla can access the former reveals that Ezio felt immense guilt for his actions in Cappadocia and was the event that made him ultimately decide he'd leave the Assassins once his mission in Constantinople was finished. 
==Personality==
Ezio was raised as a young, and wealthy 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.
Ezio 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.
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. That said, Ezio was still prone to losing control of his emotions at the right trigger; in 1506, he beat up Duccio de Luca in a fist-fight, after the latter had insulted Ezio's sister, Claudia, for her position as the Madame of the Rosa in Fiore.
However, by the time Ezio 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 instilling a sense of fraternity among his apprentices, and a love of the cultures they would defend from the Templars. He also spared the lives of any targets that he concluded had no need to die, such as Micheletto Corella.
Ezio was also passionately loyal to his family, and 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, as a remembrance of his youngest brother. The feather collection was part of what helped his mother recover from her depression at the loss of her sons and husband.
Ezio 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 Ezio a bit overbearing at times, as shown by her journal, but knew that he was trying to help regardless, and stood by her brother with the Assassins.
Ezio became more quiet and distant during his late 40s, reluctant to share information regarding his early life with associates such as Salaì, but also 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 the Chinese Assassin, he explained that he wanted nothing more to do with the Assassin Order out of fear that the Templars would endanger his wife and children, presumably stemming from the deaths of his father and brothers.
It could even be said that Ezio had grown paranoid of strangers since, in comparison to previous seasons, he had not hired any help for his vineyard's grape harvest despite his worsening condition. In addition, Ezio was shown to have grown somewhat forgetful, possibly increasing his uneasiness with unknown people.
Ezio also seemed to be aware, or at least have 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," as well as his preparation of a final letter in the event of his death.
==Powers and Abilities==

* Master Martial Artist: Due to his many years of war against the templars alone, his combat skills developed to the point that, when combined with his seemingly inhuman strength & speed he was able to take own legions of templars without effort. This was seen during his arrival at Masyaf, as he was able to kill so many templar soldiers, some of the best trained fighters, without any effort. He has also an profound swordsman & marksman, which combined with his highly developed senses, made him a one man army.
** Master Swordsmanship: He is equally deadly with a blade, able to use a multitude of countering, blocking, slashing, and parrying techniques.

* Escape Artist: He was able to escape after being held hostage by a legion of templars and even from a noose tied to his neck.
* Expert Acrobat: Like any Master Assassin, he is a remarkable free-runner, parkour master & mountaineering expert. These abilities combined with his seemingly superhuman strength & speed, made his acrobatic prowess far more profound than all the other Assassins, before and after him.
* Leadership: During the events of the Renaissance, he took unofficial command of the remnants of the Brotherhood and transformed it into a powerful organization bent on creating peace through free will and destroying the Borgia Family and their Templar allies. Such leadership rendered his followers to declare him the Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood.
==Equipment==
*Hidden Blades:
*Sword:
*Knife:
*Apple of Eden: The Apple of Eden, a near-arcane piece of technology allowed him a few supernatural powers, most commonly confused for witchcraft and arcane magic.
**Mind Control: He is able to use the Apple of Eden to mentally command many of Cesare Borgia's men into fighting each other or committing suicide.
**Illusions Generation: He is capable of creating doppelgänger illusions to aid him. When he combated Rodrigo Borgia, who was armed with the Staff of Eden, Ezio used the Apple of Eden to create several copies of himself.
