The Trilogy
The Assassin's Creed series started in 2007 with the release of the first game in the franchise. The original Assassin's Creed was so successful, leading to Ubisoft making one of the best games of all time 2 years later.
Assassin's Creed II came out November 17, 2009, introducing us to one of gaming's most popular characters, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. For the next two years, we follow Ezio's journey throughout his time as a teenager to
him joining the Assassin's Brotherhood, to his final days on Earth. Along with everything in between, this trilogy cements itself as some of the best written stories and games out there, in any media.
In Assassin's Creed II, Ezio is introduced to the audience as a cocky 17 year old boy. After the tragic hanging of his family however, he quickly matures and realizes his family's seceret. The Auditore's are a line of assassins
and Ezio's father was one of them. He dawns his father's robes and seeks revenge on the people who killed his loved ones. In the second game of the trilogy, we see a much more matured Ezio, who is now the Brotherhoods' mentor,
highest ranking member. Him and the rest of the Italian Brotherhood are ridding Italy of Templars, the main antagonists of the series, during the Renaissance. Finally, we reach the third game, Revelations, where we meet an old Ezio
who travels to Constantinople to find the library of Altier, the first Assassin's Creed protagonist. He finds the library and seals it away, protecting the piece of Eden from Templar hands.
