We’ve seen a lot of Assassins spanning many different centuries within the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>franchise<\/a>, but two, in particular, come to mind when we think of the best: Altair Ibn-La’Ahad of Levant, and Ezio Auditore da Firenze of Florence. Although the two men couldn’t be any more different, both set\u00a0a precedent for the strong bloodline of assassins that would come after them.<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0franchise reaching new milestones in recent releases like\u00a0Origins <\/em>and\u00a0Odyssey<\/em>, as well as the upcoming\u00a0Assassin’s Creed Valhalla<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0it’s easy to forget just why Altair and Ezio drew us into\u00a0this world of Templars and Assassins in the first place.\u00a0Given that they’re both legendary assassins, it can be difficult to say which one was the best between the two, but each has their own accomplishments that differentiate them not only from one another but any of the other Assassins that came\u00a0after them.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Altair: First Assassin\u00a0Fans Were Introduced To<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

No matter how many other assassins are introduced in\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>‘s growing plethora of titles, Altair will always hold a special place in the hearts of many fans due to the fact that he was the very first assassin that they got to play as. In the beginning of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed 2<\/em>, Desmond escaped Abstergo Industries, but it was the skills he inherited from Altair due to the Bleeding Effect that enabled him to do so.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Ezio: A Real Socialite<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Altair wasn’t exactly the easiest person to get along with, Ezio was something of a\u00a0social butterfly\u00a0during his time. He was no stranger to\u00a0the beautiful women of Florence, and was friends with important historical figures like Christopher Columbus, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Italian statesman Lorenzo de’ Medici. Besides Templars<\/a>, there really wasn’t anyone Ezio couldn’t charm.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Altair: Endured The Death Of His Lover<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Despite being affiliated with the Templars, Maria Thorpe later became one of the few people Altair\u00a0ever spared, and soon after their first encounter,\u00a0became his lover. During a coup against Altair, she was killed in his place. Despite having the Apple of Eden in his possession at the time of her death, Altair exercised great restraint, fleeing Masyaf without using the Apple’s power to destroy everything around him. Not only did he\u00a0understand\u00a0that his actions fulfilled a bigger purpose, but he refused to\u00a0descend into a spiral of rage and revenge the way that so many other assassins did when met with similar tragedies.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Ezio: Endured The Death Of His Family<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Altair was able to\u00a0move on from the death of his lover, Ezio was forced to watch his fathers and brothers die. Though this set him on a quest for revenge against the Templar Order, he didn’t allow his desires to consume him completely, and acted with both purpose\u00a0& selflessness leading up to the moment in which he finally got to confront Rodrigo Borgia, the man who’d ordered the execution of his family members.<\/p>\n

He refused to take Borgia’s life, realizing that it wouldn’t bring his family back, showing just how levelheaded he’d become as a result of his journey as an Assassin.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Altair:\u00a0Redefined The Vision Of The Assassin Order<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As Altair grew older, he sought to change the system that raised him. He set out to establish Assassin Guilds in other places, bringing him one step closer to creating an Order that lived amongst the people, protecting them from the Templar Order no matter where they reared their heads. Though he couldn’t fulfill this vision in his lifetime, he served as the spark that led to the Assassin Order touching every continent by Connor’s time.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Ezio:\u00a0Impacted Many Countries<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Given the fact that Ezio lived in a world that was more connected\u00a0than Altair’s, due to new developments in sailing technology, he was able to touch more nations besides Italy\u00a0and the neighboring European countries. Most notably,\u00a0he served as a mentor to the last remaining Assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood, Shao Jun, in her quest to not only restore her defunct order, but crush the Templars before they got the chance to cause more destruction across China.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Altair: Redesigned The Hidden Blade<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Assassins have used just about anything they can get their hands on as a weapon, their signature tool of choice is the Hidden Blade, which enables them to make swift kills without drawing too much attention to themselves. Originally, the Hidden Blade required an Assassin to surrender their ring finger to compensate for the blade’s extension, but Altair redesigned it, ensuring that the Assassin Order tradition of nine-fingered Assassins would be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Ezio: Gets More Playtime<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Numbers don’t lie, and in the case of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>, a series with over 30 games\u00a0& counting (spin-offs and mobile titles included), it becomes a bit more important than usual to look at just who appears in these titles. Altair\u00a0appears\u00a0across many titles, like\u00a0Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles<\/em>,\u00a0Bloodlines<\/em>,\u00a0Revelations<\/em>, and briefly in\u00a0Assassin’s Creed II<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ezio, on the other hand, puts Altair’s appearances to shame. He’s seen in\u00a0Assassin’s Creed II<\/em>,\u00a0Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery<\/em>,\u00a0Revelations<\/em>,\u00a0Brotherhood.\u00a0<\/em>Not only this, but he makes a guest appearance in\u00a0Soulcalibur\u00a0V<\/em>, and even is the main character of the film\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Embers<\/em>, which\u00a0revolves around Ezio’s last days in retirement. There’s a reason why fans were so willing to embrace Ezio’s frequent appearances, as well as why\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Ezio Trilogy\u00a0<\/em>was pushed out in order to give fans the full picture of this legendary Assassin’s story.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Altair: Played A Role In Stopping Genghis Khan<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Given that\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>takes a huge amount of pride in its accurate\u00a0depictions of the past, many Assassins interact with some of the most influential figures alive in their time, inserting themselves in a version of history that many fans definitely\u00a0didn’t learn in history class. In utilizing a Sword of Eden, Genghis Khan became an unstoppable force. If not for Altair and his allies heading out to stop him, he would’ve wreaked havoc with his establishment of the Mongol Empire.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Ezio: Spoke With Desmond<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Ezio accomplished much on his own,\u00a0it wasn’t long before he realized that his life served as a conduit for messages meant for Desmond. He understood\u00a0that the Apple of Eden enabled the Assassins to communicate across centuries, and was able to address Desmond personally in a way Altair never figured out how to do. In a sense, he figured out his life’s purpose, making all of the pain and suffering he endured worth it in the end.<\/p>\n
