I'm surprised I resisted for this long XD

Yeah, I finally caved and doodled an Assassin's Creed II original character. XD I'm pathetic. Darn Jon for the RPing we do.

Anyway, might as well answer the basic questions prone to come up about this guy. Oh and that's his family crest there, in case you were wondering.

-----
In 1499, after the end of the events related in Assassin's Creed II, Ezio is given one last task to complete before he is definitively put in charge of the entire order: Train an apprentice. And Machiavelli has the ideal candidate for that position--a young man named Alexius Chrysoleon, a Greco-Italian living in Venezia at the time. 46 years ago his grandfather, Nicolaos, died trying to assassinate Sultan Mehmed II and stall the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans. His son, Constantine, fled to Italy, pursued by the Ottomans. He married an Italian woman and had a son, Alexius. 3 months shy of Alexius' 19h birthday both his parents are killed by Ottoman spies in Venice and Alexius barely succeeds in killing the 4 spies, after taking an arrow shot to the face, through his hand.

Machiavelli takes him under his wing and gives Ezio the honor (and challenge) of training Alexius in the ways of the Assassins. Easier said than done since Alexius isn't exactly the most co-operative of people, given that his first impression of Ezio isn't the best and he doesn't seem to have what it takes. He's useless with Eagle Vision (he can only manage it for mere seconds and ends up with migraines) and isn't yet comfortable with the insane heights other assassins are used to.

In other words, Ezio doesn't know what to do with him.

However, the 'piccolino idiota' has other talents. Namely he's the kind of person you want taking care of a bucketload of guards when you're outnumbered and out-bladed. You piss him off and suddenly people go flying with heads cracked open and shattered bones. Making Alexius angry means seeing him get the physical strength of a bear and doing stuff that for a Renaissance observer are works of Divine Fury--or the Devil, depending on your point of view of these things. No wonder this guy likes maces and hammers better than swords.

And thankfully Ezio has a lot of uses for a talent like that.

The best part though is that Alexius is a near polar opposite to Ezio. He is neither that confident nor that charming. He's picking up on Ezio's humor but he's far more sarcastic and doesn't always know when to hold his tongue. Bad temper and mule-like stubborness doesn't help. And oh God, is he shy around women. Ezio finds it too easy to make fun of him. So do all the women that Ezio drags him around.
--------

There. That should suffice for some background and all. Hehe.
