Giovanni Auditore da Firenze

Giovanni Auditore da Firenze is the father of Ezio Auditore da Firenze. He's a banker nobleman, but he is also, most likely the one who gave Ezio the Assassins' blood since he is aware of his son's power: the Eagle Vision. Giovanni will be the main character of the three Assassin's Creed world-based short films: Assassin's Creed: Lineage. Curiously enough, Giovanni's ring finger is not cut off even though the improved hidden blade was made after his death.
