After putting an end to the threat from the Borgias, Ezio is now on a mission to find the library of Altair, the famous Assassin leader and mentor who lived during the time of the Third Crusade. This mission is of paramount importance for it will help reveal the true purpose of the Assassin Order.

In Constantinople, where the secret is hidden, trouble is brewing.  A power struggle is emerging between the two Princes, Ahmet and Selim for the throne. The Templars, who are stirring up the trouble behind the scenes, support Ahmet. When Ezio reaches his destination, he is captured by the Templars, but he escapes.

Ezio penetrates the deep heart of the castle, and manages to locate the Altair library. But, the door is closed and he discovers that he has to unearth five keys in order to open it. As he sets out on his quest, he befriends a Turkish Assassin leader who helps him.
