1. Prologue

Aprile 1545,
Toscana

My name is Flavia Auditore.

When I was still a young girl, my father died. Everyone said his death was from old age and was normale, but it never sat right with me. I was always suspicious that something else had happened that day in Firenze. My mother would hear nothing of the sort, so deep was her grief. I never spoke of it again but I knew there were parts of my father's life that he kept secret from my brother, Marcello and I. I knew his death had something to do with these secrets, that somewhere in my father's past was the key to his death.

When I was sixteen, I broke into my father's studio, his office, a room no one save my mother had been in since he died. I had found nothing of significance when my mother caught me. She screamed and shouted that I had betrayed her and desecrated my father's memory. She threw me out of the villa, along with two trunks containing the last of my father's papers and belongings. I was granted one trip with the carello, so I made my way to Roma, to my aunt Claudia.

My aunt, despite her age, welcomed me with open arms. Unlike my mother, she gladly spoke of my father, and, more importantly, his past and his death. She told me my father's secrets that were hidden away in his papers. I learnt of my father's Order, and that they had eyes and ears everywhere. Eyes and ears that had been there that day in Firenze. A young man, it seems, had sat next to my father before he died, had grasped his left hand and then quickly left. I also learnt that Claudia, when preparing my father for burial, had noticed a wound on his left hand. Her spies had informed her that my father had not died from old age, but had been poisoned.

Who, I wanted to know, who would stoop so low and poison my father, an old man in his dotage, too old and too weak to fight back. She answered my questions with one word, "Templars". Rage had burned within me, rage and a lust for vengeance. What, was my next question, what could I do to stop these Templars. She told me.

My name is Flavia Auditore, and I am an Assassin.
