Assassin's Creed: Embers is an animated short film project designed to expand the Assassin's Creed series. Revealed by Ubisoft on 6 June 2011, the film was released on 15 November 2011, alongside several special editions of Assassin's Creed: Revelations. The short film is available in 15 languages, either through voice dub or subtitles.
This short film was created and produced by Ubiworkshop, and was completely developed internally at Ubisoft Montreal. To create the film, Ubiworkshop worked with two other teams: Ubik, and a team from the Technology Group.[1]
Set after Revelations, the film concludes the life of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who retired from his life as an Assassin and lived with his wife Sofia Sartor in Tuscany's countryside.
Plot[]
In the year 1524, the former Assassin Ezio Auditore retired to a villa in the countryside of Tuscany, with his wife Sofia and children Marcello and Flavia. While Ezio wrote in his study, Sofia asked him to watch Flavia while she and Marcello visit his sister Claudia. Shortly after, he left his study to tend their vineyards while Flavia played nearby the villa. In the midst of his harvest, he saw a stranger cloaked in black, talking to Flavia. Fearing the worst, Ezio hurriedly intercepted the stranger, though Flavia told him that she was no danger, as Ezio saw her necklace with the Assassin insignia.
Later, the Assassin introduced herself as Shao Jun, and then asked for Ezio's help in saving her people and order. Ezio refused, stating that his time with the order is over, and asked that Jun leave, despite her pleas. Sofia however, bid that Jun should stay, seeing that she came a long way. Jun stays, while the family prepared to rest for the night. Ezio pondered about the time he had left while watching their children with Sofia. The two would then go to bed.

The next morning, Ezio inspected his villa to look for Shao Jun, and finds her in his study. Furious, Ezio told her to leave his study, and shortly after, told her to leave Italy entirely, stating that she's wasted her time looking for him. Shao Jun, reading a portion of what Ezio wrote in his study, asked him that she just wanted to understand what it takes to restore her order. Ezio informed her on why he was reluctant to help, stating that it could compromise his family. Afterwards, he would take her to Florence to help him in the grape harvest.
Ezio attended to his business while Shao Jun kept watch. Afterwards, Ezio would take her to the plaza of the Palazzo della Signoria, where half of his family were killed. He would then lecture her on how an Assassin's line of work is done, before leaving back to his villa. In the midst of their departure, the two were intercepted by an assailant, who faced Shao Jun in combat. Afterwards, the two fled, as more of the armed men followed them.

As Ezio drove a carriage back to his villa, Shao Jun explained her past. She explained that it was her mentor's plan to meet with him, though her mentor was killed by the same men in Venice. The men were the Imperial soldiers of Emperor Jiajing, who sought to recapture Shao Jun for her acts against his rule.
After arriving at the villa, Ezio tells Sofia that she and the children should stay at Machiavelli's home, fearing that the assailants would come at their doorstep. After his family left, Ezio and Shao Jun stayed to prepare for the men. After giving a lecture to Shao Jun about how he reformed the order in both Rome and Constantinople, Ezio advised her to rest while he stayed at the living room and kept watch.

The Imperial Soldiers arrived as expected, invading the Assassin's home. While Shao Jun fought some of the servants in the upper floor, Ezio fought with the others at the lower floor, defeating three of them. Seeing the cannon-wielding brute readying to fire at Jun, Ezio hurriedly made his way to the upper floor to intercept the soldiers and save her from the cannon's fire, which he does so successfully. Afterwards, both he and Jun would jump out of a window and onto the open field. There, both of them fought the cannon soldier, and after a tough fight, managed to defeat him.
The day after, Ezio would bid Shao Jun farewell, as the latter thanked him for all his help. Before leaving, Ezio gave Jun a small chest, commenting that it can help her some day, though said that she should open it only when she loses direction. Just then, government guardsapproachedEzio's villa. Ezio bids that Shao Jun should leave before they see her. She would then leave, while Ezio talked with the guards.

Some time after, Ezio finished writing in his study. Sofia then informed him that she and Flavia were leaving for Florence. Ezio decided to come with them. There, Ezio sat down at a nearby bench while the pair bought some groceries. As Ezio watched, a young man would sit down with him and berate the women of Florence.
Despite his disrespectful demeanor, the man bid that Ezio should have courage, and advised him to rest before leaving his company. Ezio, as he looked on his wife and daughter, smiled. The two looked back, though with an expression of distraught rather than happiness.
Ezio Auditore passed away where he sat at the age of 65. Left behind by him in his study was a letter addressed to Sofia. Written there was:

"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment.
Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia.
Forever yours,
Ezio Auditore."
Development[]
Embers was first revealed on June 6, 2011. The teaser trailer for Embers was released on 21 July 2011, while the full trailer for Embers was revealed on 23 July 2011, during the Comic-Con 2011 Panel.
The Comic-Con 2011 Panel recommended watching Embers after completing Revelations, so that the events that unfold are experienced in sequence. The film would run for 21 minutes, offering a unique experience of Ezio's life, and bringing further closure to the Ezio saga.
Embers was subsequently released in DVD format with several special editions of Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which was released on November 15, 2011. The movie could also be obtained by purchasing Assassin's Creed Recollection.
Trivia[]
- An error is made in the movie, Ezio when sitting with Jun mentions how he watched half his family executed 45 years ago, which was in 1476. This means the movie would have to take place in 1521.
- Several movements performed by Ezio during the attack on his villa resembled, if not taken from his combat animations within the game installments. The known animations were:
- A sword combo kill.
- The "Hook-and-run/throw" maneuver.
- Throwing of a Heavy Weapon (albeit with one hand, in the movie).
- A short blade disarm, followed immediately by a short blade combo kill.
- A portrait of Emilio Barbarigo, the same portrait found in Ezio's room in Monteriggioni during Assassin's Creed II, can be seen in his study.
- ACE-V_7.png
The living room of Ezio's villa, where Sofia's portrait can be seen.
Also, Sofia's portrait by Albrecht Dürer, can be seen in the villa's living room, albeit larger than it appeared in Revelations. - Ezio's son, Marcello, was never seen in the movie. Though he can be seen sleeping in his and Flavia's room, Marcello's face was never fully shown.
- The letter left behind by Ezio had a seal with the Assassin insignia on it.
- Ezio's Villa in the movie is modeled after a portion of the Villa Salviati in Assassin's Creed II.
- While Embers itself does not have a standalone novel based on its events, the final portion of the Assassin's Creed: Revelations novel covers the events of Embers.
- In the credits, Sofia's name is erroneously spelled "Sophia".
- In Ezio's letter to Sofia, he incorrectly called her "Mio Caro", which is the masculine form. It should be "Mia Cara."
