Through the memories of Desmond Miles, Ezio Auditore da Firenze from Renaissance Italy becomes an assassin after seeing his father and brothers murdered. On the path of vengeance he uncovers a greater threat than he ever imagined.
After escaping from Abstergo, Desmond Miles is led to an assassin safe house by Lucy Stillman, and accesses the genetic memories of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, his ancestor from 15th Century Renaissance Italy. After witnessing his father and brothers murdered, Ezio becomes an assassin and vows revenge on those who committed the crime. With the help of family and real historical figures, including Leonardo da Vinci, Ezio uncovers a greater conspiracy which would lead him directly to the religious hub of the world and a Spaniard by the name of Rodrigo Borgia, the man who would become Pope Alexander VI.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze loosely translates to "like an eagle, auditor of/from Firenze". Auditor derives from the family profession in banking; Firenze is the Italian version of Florence, Ezio's birthplace.

Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs:
Leonardo Da Vinci would have never been called "Mr. Da Vinci"; that would have been the equivalent of someone calling a person "Mr. From New York". He would have been properly addressed as "Leonardo." However, in the first Assassin's Creed Lucy explains to Desmond that the Animus translates the spoken language in the past to current day terms and grammar so that he would better understand the scenes. (In Italian, "da" means "from", as in "from" Vinci; e.g., Leonardo da Vinci. "De" means "of" as in Lorenzo de Medici (of the family of the Medici). "Di" means "of" as in tintura di iodio.)
