It is done. We have completed our first assassination, and now we must leave Florence for a time.

Our happy 15th century Italian nobleman life continues, as we get acquainted with Ezio's family life through a series of fairly simple missions.

Assassin’s Creed – Part 5-2
Robert de Sable is going to unite the warring factions of the Third Crusade against us, since we've killed so many major power players in this conflict. We can't let that happen.
