"Hello. I Look A Bit Like Altair But Fancier."

Of course, the picture ended up on someones hard-drive and now you're seeing it on PushSquare. According to Screwattack, the particular character pictured is Ezio Auditore de Firenze, a nobleman from Florence in the year 1476. Sadly, it's also been confirmed that the ridiculous pseudo-sci-fi element of the original is to return; Ezio is indeed another genetic ancestor of the original games sub-protagonist idiot Desmond.

Regardless, you can't help but get excited over the sequel to Assassin's Creed can you? Keep an eye out for the next issue of GameInformer magazine which has the world exclusive.
