In Assassin's Creed II, what is the full name of the Italian Assassin played by the player?

The Italian Assassin played by the player in Assassin's Creed II is Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Ezio is introduced as a young Florentine nobleman in 15th-century Italy. After his family is betrayed and executed, he is drawn into the Assassin brotherhood and spends much of the game pursuing those responsible. His personal quest develops into a broader struggle against the Templar Order.

Assassin's Creed II was released in 2009 and expanded the original game's systems with new weapons, economic management, swimming, and a larger range of activities. Its historical locations include Florence, Venice, Monteriggioni, and Forlì. Leonardo da Vinci also appears as an important ally who creates equipment and helps Ezio interpret discoveries.

Ezio's story continues in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Because those later games also feature him, the character is often described as the trilogy's central hero rather than only the protagonist of the second game.
