Assassin's Creed II (Part 16)

The transition from revenge to Creed — Ezio beginning to operate from the Brotherhood's philosophical framework rather than from the family's grief.

Glory is what the Templar structure produces as a byproduct of its operations. The Assassin's work is invisible by design, effective without acknowledgment, balanced rather than triumphant.
