Machiavelli: Never. News of the Villa attack has spread across the city. We were certain that you were dead.
Ezio: Not yet. I am still very much alive.
Happy birthday to the Italian Assassin who is (musically) still very much alive in every Assassin’s Creed game.
Machiavelli: You and I have not seen eye-to-eye on many issues.
Ezio: Niccolò–
Machiavelli: But you are exactly what the Order needed. You have led the charge against the Templars and rebuilt this Brotherhood. Now, we must put Ezio where he belongs, at the head of the Assassins.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze. You will now be known as il Mentore (The Mentor), the guardian of our Order and our secrets.
Assassins: Nothing is true.
Ezio: Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember…
Assassins: Everything is permitted.
Happy birthday to the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood! ☼ 24 June 1459 † 30 November 1524
