In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, which historical artist helps Ezio design the parachute?

Leonardo da Vinci helps Ezio design the parachute in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

Leonardo appears as one of Ezio's most important allies in the Renaissance-era story. In Brotherhood, he develops inventions and upgrades that expand Ezio's equipment, including the parachute. The parachute can be used during descents from Rome's elevated structures, giving Ezio a safer and more flexible way to cross the city.

The invention is based on Leonardo's real interest in flight and parachute-like designs, although the game's playable device is fictionalized for action-adventure gameplay. Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello were also major Renaissance artists, but none is the inventor who supplies Ezio's parachute in Brotherhood. The game was released in 2010 and focuses on Ezio's campaign against the Borgia family in Rome.
