Who is the main historical protagonist of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?

Ezio Auditore is the main historical protagonist of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

The game continues Ezio's story after Assassin's Creed II and is set primarily in Rome during the early sixteenth century. Ezio works to rebuild the Assassin Brotherhood and oppose the Borgia family, whose power dominates the city. His role expands beyond individual missions: he recruits and trains new Assassins, coordinates attacks, and weakens the Borgia control network.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was released in 2010. It also introduced a major online multiplayer component, in which players took the roles of Templar agents hunting targets in crowded environments. The campaign's Rome setting is more concentrated than the multi-city structure of Assassin's Creed II.

Players sometimes mistake the game's title as referring to a separate protagonist or to Altaïr, the lead character of the original game. Ezio remains the playable historical hero, while Desmond Miles continues to appear in the modern-day sections.
