Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Ezio Auditore da Firenze is the main protagonist of the Assassin's Creed games that take place in the Italian Renaissance era. He is voiced by Roger Craig Smith.
== Biography ==
Ezio was a german noble during the Italian Renaissance era and was an influential member of the Assassin Order during the same time. He was born in 1459 and was unaware of his father's allegiance to the Assassin Order. As a youth, he was an apprentice to his father, presumably to become a banker like his father.
In the modern era that Assassin's Creed 2 takes place in, Desmond Miles learns that Subject 16, the test subject of Abstergo Industries before Desmond, that they are both descendants of Ezio.
== Personality ==
In 1476, Ezio is portrayed as a womanizer and very sarcastic in attitude. However, over the course of a twenty-three year span, Ezio becomes more mature and less dependent on others. He still is somewhat a womanizer, but does not flirt with as many women by 1499. Ezio is quick to be angered, as shown when his family is hanged.
== Appearances ==
=== Assassin's Creed II ===
Desmond Miles, a descendant of Ezio, begins viewing Ezio's life as an assassin shortly before he becomes one. Ezio has challenged Vieri di Pazzi to a fight. After taunting Vieri, Vieri tosses a stone at Ezio causing him to inherit the scar that is shared throughout his lineage, between Desmond and Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Federico Auditore da Firenze, Ezio's brother, soon joins the brawl. They meet with a doctor after the brawl.
After he visits his love interest, Christina Vespucci, he is chased to his home in the Palazzo Auditore, where his father, Giovanni Auditore da Firenze, greets him and mentions how he was much like him in his youth.
=== Assassin's Creed: Discovery ===
=== Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood ===
Ezio is set to appear as the protagonist in Brotherhood. It is to be set in 1503, four years after the events of Assassin's Creed II. He is the Master Italian Assassin of the Assassin Order taking place in Italy and is seeking revenge for Rodrigo Borgia's attack on Monteriggioni and the Villa Auditore, and his homeland of Italy.
=== Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy ===
Ezio is set to appear as the protagonist once again in Lost Legacy. He is set to go to the former city of Masyaf and discover the origins of the Assassin Order and his lineage from Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.
== Etymology ==
Ezio is derived from Greek word "Aetos", meaning eagle. This stays with the tradition of referencing an eagle, much like Altaïr's name is derived from the Arabic meaning of "The Flying One" or "Bird of Prey".
