Mindfire and Philster:
I have not played AC2 long enough to see if Ezio feels remorse after killing his Targets, or not. So far I have only assassinated the evil man that hanged Ezio's father and brothers, and the Templar boy in the other town during the night. Certainly, the fact that the Borgias are super evil would make it easier and more justifiable for Ezio to kill them.
Then, what about the Guards?
In the Catacomb mission, there were some guards talking about how happy they were to have earned so much gold for that particular job. They were not responsible for Ezio's tragedy, they were there simply because some Templar paid them a lot of money to protect the special meeting.
The game requires Ezio to kill them anyway, then you have to chase and kill the lonely guard that runs away and after that you kill some more guards at a different room.
Ezio showed no remorse after this part of the game was over.
That's the kind of thing Altair would do, and it's precisely what I feel that comes into conflict with the charming hero approach. Think of dear old Link (Legend of Zelda): He chases and kills monsters only, never people... while in the other hand, Ezio kills people like an Assassin does.
