What is the surname of Ezio, the central character in Assassin’s Creed II?

The story behind the answer

Ezio’s surname in Assassin’s Creed II is Auditore.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze is introduced as a young Florentine nobleman in Renaissance Italy. After members of his family are executed through a political conspiracy, Ezio is drawn into the Assassin Brotherhood and begins pursuing those responsible. His story spans several decades and forms the basis of Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations.

Assassin’s Creed II was released in 2009 and expands substantially on the original game’s systems. Players visit cities such as Florence, Venice, and Forlì while learning about historical figures including Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli, and Caterina Sforza.

The Auditore name is often mixed up with other Assassin’s Creed family names. The Kenways belong chiefly to the eighteenth-century Caribbean and colonial American stories, while the Fryes lead the Victorian London setting of Syndicate.
