Did you know that the underworld is your true family in Assassin's Creed II? According to creative designer Patrice Desilets, the main character Ezio has more in common with thieves, prostitutes and criminals that he does with the guards of the city. Check out this second in a series of six video diaries for Assassin's Creed II below.


Ezio's uncle Mario will apparently help him tone his fighting skills (no it's not that Mario) while Leonardo da Vinci will make him a test subject for his wacky inventions. Stick with us for more on Assassin's Creed II soon.



Bryn says: So Leonardo da Vinci is an old school Q from the James Bond universe? Awesome! This guy's inventions were insane for the time period when he lived -- he theorized a working calculator, a helicopter, a tank and solar power! It's great to see a real world historical character get some love in an action game like ACII.
