Which Assassin's Creed protagonist stars in the series' Renaissance Italy trilogy?

Ezio Auditore stars in Assassin's Creed's Renaissance Italy trilogy.

The trilogy consists of Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Ezio begins as a young Florentine nobleman in Assassin's Creed II and becomes an Assassin after his family is destroyed by a political conspiracy. His journey takes him across Italian cities including Florence, Venice, and Rome.

Brotherhood continues Ezio's story in Rome, where he rebuilds the Assassin Brotherhood and confronts the Borgia family. Revelations then follows his search for Altaïr's legacy in Constantinople and Masyaf. Together, the games portray Ezio's progression from an impulsive young man to an experienced leader.

A frequent mistake is treating the trilogy as three games set entirely in Italy. Revelations is largely set in Constantinople, in the Ottoman Empire, although it remains part of Ezio's connected Renaissance-era narrative. Ezio is also the only protagonist to receive three major main-series games centered on his life.
