how do you think ezio died in assassins creed embers *SPOILERS* | Forums

Hey, it's not that hard to decipher. The guy who posted the frames did a really detailed job though, so kudos.


1. See a guy with a face scar?
2. *Think about it*
3. Reason that he must be an assassin.


It was the best way to die, honorable even for Ezio to be assassinated.

1) Shortness of breath, coughing, and weakness are cardinal symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF).

2) Ezio expected to die soon.

3) He was assassinated.

4) His family was safe.

Maybe the guy poisoned him

I got a bad feeling from him like the clown in the old show Spawn

I feel certainly with all of the edited images that the guy in fact was a Templar. Everyone else can have their doubts. Look back through all of the games. When a Templar is initiated, or they say their prayer, they lay their left (or right) arm across their chest, and I'm guessing this is why the insignia is shown across their wrist. Now, I've never thought about poisoning, but that seems like a valid outcome. I just realized this Templar cross today, and felt like watching it just to see it for myself, and without a doubt is it there. Now, any further arguments about it being a string or a Christian cross, or whatever else someone might think it is, I'd like to hear it.

Ezio died of a heart attack.

He was shown to be suffering for the entirety of Embers and you can bet your *** that this was a deliberate move on part of the writers, foreshadowing what would happen next. I know that the Templar assassination theory is much sexier but really, this guy is just a representation of bratty Ezio when he was young or even Death calling if you will. It's symbolism and nothing more.

No matter how weak Ezio was, the night before he took out a s**tload of soldiers(even while gasping in sprints, with an aching back and such), I find it highly unlikely that he just sits there while a guy poisons him(presumably by shoving some sort of blade into him).

Poison does not kill a Human being the way Ezio was shown to die and even if it did, it wouldn't be that instant...You`re looking too much into it..

Ezio died either of Heart failure or a heart attack...

I've always thought Ezio was assassinated, but I've never noticed the cross before. That is indisputably the Templar Cross.

Besides that, I mean, just look and listen to that guy. People say that he's supposed to remind Ezio of his arrogant younger self, but Ezio never behaved like that. He was carefree and loved the ladies, but he wasn't that rude, disrespectful, and misogynistic. The way that guy talks and expresses himself is way too ******y. Ezio may have seen his death coming, but I'm almost certain that man killed him. Fast-acting poison, anyone?

Personally, I think it's a very fitting (even if sad) end for Ezio; while he didn't die in his sleep at his villa, he died happy and fulfilled with his family in the place he loved most. After a long life of assassinating dozens of Templars, it was only a matter of time before one assassinated him.

Also, I messed with the lighting and saturation a bit for those who still can't see it. This is not a crucifix.

I thought Ezio cought tuberculosis. Would explain alot of his chest pains and heavy caughs.
In the Revelations novel it was mentioned that Ezio got ill (Sofia thought it was some kind of pneumonia, if i remember correctly), but chose to ignore it. Since that his condition never improved.

I see an easy connection to TB here, especially since it was confirmed that the strange guy at the end was a nobody. Besides, IF the master assassin would get assassinated, they would be more explicit in showing this irony to us.

Also, Assassin_M made a valid point about poisons, especially for poisons of that era.
Hmm.... You sure know something about them, remind me to never accept a meal from you, M!

If I intend to poison, It wont be a meal :|

I think he died of a Heart Attack and the fact that someone wished him a Peaceful death means nothing more than that.
