Assassin's Creed II follows which Italian Assassin across Renaissance Italy?
Answer
Ezio Auditore
Assassin's Creed II follows the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore across Renaissance Italy.
Ezio begins the game as a young Florentine nobleman whose family is destroyed by a political conspiracy. His personal quest for justice leads him into the Assassin Brotherhood, where he trains and eventually confronts members of the Templar Order. The story spans several decades of his life rather than depicting only a brief mission.
Major locations include Florence, Monteriggioni, Venice, and Rome. Historical figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Lorenzo de' Medici, and Niccolò Machiavelli appear in the narrative, blending fictional characters with the game's historical setting.
Ezio's story continues directly or thematically in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. He is therefore associated with a trilogy of major games, while Altaïr belongs primarily to the first game's medieval storyline and Connor to Assassin's Creed III.
