Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

What happens in the game

Liberating districts and recruiting Assassins changes Ezio from a solitary avenger into a leader who creates successors.

The modern team reaches the Colosseum vault, where Juno manipulates Desmond through another Piece of Eden.

The story, step by step

1. The fall of Monteriggioni

   Cesare Borgia attacks Ezio's home, kills Mario and takes the Apple. Ezio follows the Borgias to Rome, where military occupation, church wealth and civic decay are different faces of the same control.

2. Rebuilding the Brotherhood

   Destroying Borgia towers, restoring districts and recruiting citizens makes liberation structural rather than solitary. Ezio learns to command a network while Lucrezia, Juan and Cesare's alliances unravel.

3. Rome and the modern vault

   Ezio uses the Apple to break Cesare's power and later confronts him in Spain. In the present, Desmond retrieves the Apple beneath the Colosseum, where Juno seizes his body and forces him to kill Lucy.

What the story is really about

How it ends

Ezio breaks Borgia control in Rome and Cesare dies in Spain; in the present, Juno forces Desmond to stab Lucy before he collapses.

What changes afterward

• The Roman Brotherhood becomes a durable organization.
• The modern story reveals that Isu guidance can be coercive rather than benevolent.

How it connects forward

Revelations sends an older Ezio to Constantinople in search of Altaïr's library while Desmond recovers inside the Animus.
