Assassin’s Creed is my all time favorite video game franchise, so for this research post I choose to look at concept art for Assassin’s Creed: Revelations by Martin Deschambault. Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is the third and final game about the story of Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Ezio began as a young man who witnessed his father’s and brother’s execution and goes on to be the leader of the Assassin Brotherhood. Specifically in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Ezio goes to 16th century Constantinople to search for the seals to the library full of vast knowledge hidden underneath Masyaf Castle by legendary Assassin Altaïr Ibn La’Ahad. Ezio searched for the seals while helping the local Assassin guild get rid of Byzantine Templar control. He succeeds only to enter the library where Ezio finds Altaïr’s skeleton and his Apple of Eden, but no books. He finds out that the entire purpose of the library was to convey a message to Ezio’s descendant, Desmond Miles.
