Of the Auditore men, only Ezio was able to escape because the capturing happened while Ezio was running errands for his father. Betrayed by corrupt Nobles, Ezio's family were the victims of an evil plot that ultimately took the lives of his father and brothers. Ezio led an affluent, care-free lifestyle until a tragic turn of events changed his life forever. To continue with the tradition of the reference to an eagle, Ezio is derived from the Greek word aetos, meaning ' eagle'.Įzio was born into the nobility on June 24, 1459, in the city of Florence. He is also the earliest known link between the lineages of 'Subject 16' and that of Desmond. Like Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio is an ancestor of Desmond Miles, though he himself is not a direct descendant of Altaïr. Appearances In the Assassin's Creed games
