Assassin's Creed Embers

Set years after Assassin's Creed Revelations, Ezio Auditore lives in a countryside with Sofia Sartor and their children Flavia and Marcello. A retired assassin, he was alarmed to find a hooded figure talking to Flavia one day. It turns out the stranger, who introduced herself as Shao Jun, was looking for Ezio to ask him how to rebuild the assassin order in her country and how to help her people. Ezio at first refused but Sofia convinced Ezio to let her stay.

Ezio and Sofia

"... love of people, cultures, and the world... fight to preserve that which inspires hope and you will win back your people."

This sad and beautiful 21 minutes and 22 seconds short animation film shows Ezio at the twilight of his life. Though dissatisfied and full of regrets, he is still a formidable fighter in the film even if he's slower than the hero in the three games. Ezio's fans will love this peek at Ezio's last moments (and it's good to know that he and Sofia made a family) and might find the ending a bit intriguing. I was holding my breath at the ending and was quite sad when what was foreshadowed had to happen.
