Male

Sphinx

Ezio has immensely powerful light magic. With it he can form barriers, purge darkness, force transformations, blind opponents, and even create beams of solid light. He's has centuries to hone his magic into a fie weapon, though he much prefers to keep his magic as a trump card. He uses his sphinx intuition and keen sense of danger to avoid trouble and detect poisons, and plays it off as good intuition, though he does have the training to notice and determine different types of poisons without this innate ability of his.

His knowledge of weapons is immense, and Ezio has a large collection of various weapons. He's most fond of the sword, though a next favorite is the bow and arrow, followed closely by the spear. Many of Ezio's other skills, such as blending in in a crowd to hide in plain sight, have been things he's practice at for years. His unassuming demeanor aids in this. He has an uncanny ability to show up without warning, being incredibly sneaky and hard to detect.

As a human Ezio is unusually tall, standing at 6'4". With his well-muscled physique and rich dark olive skin, he can appear rather intimidating, especially as Ezio carries himself with grace and poise. He has a square jaw and a rugged appearance, though this if offset by his usually gentle expression. His almond shaped eyes are lined with thick black lashes, and his irises are a dusty gold color. His hair is a deep brown color, almost chocolatey, and falls in loose kinks and curls down to his shoulder blades. He prefers to tie his hair back into a low ponytail, which often gets slung over a shoulder. He has a scar on the right side of his mouth, extending just over both lips and down onto his chin. While his body is generally covered in small scars, but the most notable of these is the scar on his throat. It's a deep, jagged scar that covers nearly the entire front of his neck. While usually covered by the cream colored cloak he wears, his throat is occasionally laid bare, and the scar visible for all to see.

He prefers to wear loose clothing, a white long-sleeved shirt with an open collar and a pair of brown trousers suit his every day needs. He often wears a pair of well-cared for leather boots with oddly quiet soles. Like his son, Ezio wears a pair of bracers that contain hidden blades. His bracers depict fine images of eagles, the symbol of his house. At his side, he wears a fine scimitar, kept in a golden scabbard studded with jewels in all manner of colors.

As a sphinx Ezio's pelt is a brilliant golden color. He's large in size, and his pelt is slightly metallic, giving him a sort of glow about him. He has an enormous pair of wings with slightly darker feathers and ticked markings on his feathers.

Ezio is a gentle man, who treats everyone he meets with respect. His helpful nature has him reaching out to others in their times of need, lending a had in whatever way he can. The staff who work under him are happy, and describe Ezio as a well-mannered father figure. His easy-going nature puts those around him at ease, and his listening ear often gets these people to confide in him or share their secrets. He speaks gently, and rarely raises his voice. Instead he denotes his intention through tone of voice, commanding others around him with a firm, yet gentle hand. He's extremely charming and flirtatious, and uses this to his advantage, or simply just to have a little fun.

As a born leader, both figuratively and literally, Ezio knows when to take command and how to keep things running. He's incredibly reliable in a pinch, and is a man of his word. When he says he'll do something, he means it. He's very confident and self-assured, and stands firmly by his decisions. These decisions are not made lightly, as Ezio knows he has many people relying on him. Oftentimes he ends up with many late nights lost in thought over the best course of action. He wears this pressure with a smile, though often he can look tired. as a result. He's not one for mincing words, and prefers to tell things as they are.

Ezio is a man of many secrets, and few truly know the man's history. His scar is a constant reminder of his past, and while it visibly bothers him, he simply plays it off or changes the subject. He knows how to guard his own emotions and motives well, and others' trust in him is something he uses to his advantage. A man of many connections, Ezio has influence, and uses this to advantage in his business: assassinations. This is not something he takes lightly, and those he trains, he trains to ensure their safety. Considering himself a master of assassins with morals, Ezio is particular in who he'll issue a hit on. He favors criminals, corrupt nobles and royalty, and even other assassins and thieves.

Ezio was accidentally born into the royal family where he immediately became a problem for his father. Not because he was a bad child, no, quite the opposite. He was a wonderful child loved by all who met him. He excelled in his studies, was polite and courteous, and generally a joy to be around. To his uncle, who had no heirs of his own, Ezio was like a son to him. This angered his father, the king's younger brother. With Ezio in the picture, the throne would never fall to him.

When Ezio was an adolescent, his father attacked him, going for the throat. It was only by chance that his uncle had been nearby, where he intervened to save his nephew, killing Ezio's father in the process. Ezio, badly wounded and clinging to life, was left with a scar as a permanent reminder of his father's betrayal. His uncle had every record of his brother erased from the record, and forbids his name from being spoken. As far as anyone is concerned, Ezio is Amun-ra's son, and will assume the throne one day.

Fearful of the implications of this, and still reeling from his father's attack, Ezio pleaded with his uncle for a chance to leave the palace and become an assassin to work on behalf of the crown. His uncle, seeing this as childish folly his nephew would one day grow out of, agreed. Much to Amun-ra's chagrin, Ezio developed this into a sprawling network of assassins. To this day Ezio is still avoiding his royal responsibilities and running from his past, though he still remains in frequent contact with his uncle.
