In Assassin's Creed II, what is the full name of the game's central Assassin?

The central Assassin in Assassin's Creed II is Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Ezio is introduced as a young nobleman in Renaissance Florence. After his family is betrayed and several relatives are executed, he becomes involved with the Italian Assassins and begins a long campaign against the Templar Order. His story spans decades and continues in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

The surname Auditore identifies Ezio's family, while “da Firenze” means “from Florence” in Italian. He is not the same character as Altaïr, the protagonist of the first game, or Connor and Edward Kenway, who belong to later historical settings.

Assassin's Creed II was released in 2009 and is set mainly in Italian cities including Florence, Venice, and Forlì. Its Renaissance setting and Ezio's multi-game character arc made him one of the series' most recognizable protagonists.
