Ezio Auditore is fifty-two years old. Revelations is the game that earns the right to end the Ezio trilogy by taking the time to show what a lifetime of the Creed looks like when the rage that started it has been processed into something quieter and more durable. The vengeance is AC2 — the Pazzi conspiracy, the Borgia, the need to avenge what was taken. The purpose is Brotherhood — the organization built in Rome, the understanding that the mission is larger than any personal grievance. The silence is what the purpose earns when it has been lived long enough.

Masayas — the fortress at the end of the road that leads to Altaïr's library, which holds the answers Ezio has been following for the entire series. He does not know yet what he will find. He knows it is worth the journey.
