In Assassin's Creed II, what is the full name of the protagonist who begins as a Florentine nobleman?

Ezio Auditore da Firenze is the protagonist of Assassin's Creed II, beginning the story as a Florentine nobleman.

Ezio is introduced in Florence in 1476, where he lives with his family before a political conspiracy changes his life. He eventually joins the Assassin Brotherhood and pursues those responsible for his family's destruction across Renaissance Italy.

The game visits Florence, Monteriggioni, Venice, Forlì, and the Vatican. Its historical setting includes figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, who helps Ezio adapt and understand several pieces of recovered technology.

Ezio's name is often shortened to Ezio Auditore, but “da Firenze” is part of his full name. He returns as the central character of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed Revelations, forming the longest connected protagonist arc in the main series.
