In the sequel, Desmond escapes Abstergo and enters the Animus 2.0 machine to relive another ancestor’s memories — Ezio Auditore da Firenze, an assassin who lived at the height of the Italian Renaissance in the 15th and early 16th centuries. Through Ezio’s perspective during historical events like the Renaissance, Desmond discovers more clues to defeat the Templars in modern times.
