In Assassin’s Creed II, what is the full name of the Florentine nobleman who becomes an Assassin?

Ezio Auditore da Firenze is the Florentine nobleman who becomes an Assassin in Assassin’s Creed II.

Ezio begins the game as a young man in Renaissance Florence, but his family is executed after a political conspiracy. He escapes with his mother and sister, then gradually uncovers the forces behind the betrayal. His uncle Mario introduces him to the Assassin legacy, while Leonardo da Vinci helps interpret and improve several pieces of equipment.

The game takes Ezio through major Italian locations including Florence, Venice, Forlì, and the countryside of Tuscany. Its historical setting spans the late fifteenth century and includes encounters with figures such as Lorenzo de’ Medici and Rodrigo Borgia. Ezio’s story continues in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.

A common mix-up is treating Leonardo as the protagonist because he is central to the technology and plot. Leonardo is an ally; Ezio is the playable Assassin whose personal revenge develops into a wider struggle against the Templars.
