Assassin’s Creed II follows which Italian Assassin during the Renaissance?

Assassin’s Creed II follows Ezio Auditore during the Italian Renaissance.

Ezio begins as a young Florentine nobleman whose family is destroyed by a political conspiracy. He becomes an Assassin and pursues those responsible while uncovering a broader Templar plot. The game takes him through important Renaissance locations, including Florence, Monteriggioni, Venice, and Forlì.

Unlike the first game’s single historical period and compact city structure, Assassin’s Creed II expands exploration, character development, equipment, and economic systems. Ezio’s journey continues in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, forming the series’ well-known Ezio trilogy.

Altaïr is the protagonist of the original game, while Arno Dorian stars in Unity and Bayek of Siwa stars in Origins. Those characters belong to different eras and story arcs, making Ezio the specific answer for Assassin’s Creed II.
