Brotherhood Multiplayer Personas
The Barber (Baltasar de Silva)
Hiding behind the guise of a barber, Baltasar de Silva, Cesare's master spy, would secretly study the Assassins' techniques and equipment, in the hopes of using their own skills against them. He was not the combative type, instead preferring to use traps or hired help to defeat enemies.
For tropes related to The Barber's canon identity, see The Roman Templars page.
- Improbable Weapon User: With a razor as a weapon, slitting your targets' throats is the only option.
The Blacksmith (Auguste Oberlin)
Auguste Oberlin was the personal blacksmith of Cesare Borgia, crafting weapons for most of Cesare's agents, as well as more ambitious designs. He was also responsible for the creation and distribution of Borgia propaganda throughout Rome.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
- Wrestler in All of Us: You can have him execute a backbreaker in one of his high profile kill animations.
The Captain (Donato Mancini)
Donato Mancini was a military captain of the Papal army under the Borgia and a very confident, capable horseman, better than even Cesare Borgia himself. While he appeared honourable, even he was not afraid to resort to underhanded methods or petty revenge.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
- Armor Is Useless: Despite wearing a full breastplate, he dies just as easily as the other multiplayer characters.
The Courtesan (Fiora Cavazza)
A former prostitute who was recruited by Cesare to serve as his underworld liaison, she turned against him after several years due to his abuse, threats, and constantly putting her into dangerous situations. She allied with the Assassins to dismantle his power base, which she initially had helped establish.
For tropes related to her canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
- Too Many Belts: They seem to grow in amount as her gear progresses.
The Dama Rossa
A mysterious woman, presumably afiliated with the Templar Order, that operated under the alias of the Dama Rossa. A vengeful spirit, she would spread malicious rumours to make her own work easier.
- Combat Haircomb: She uses her hairpin as her weapon when performing assassinations.
- Dark Action Girl: A amoral female assassin that's presumably under the employ of the Templars.
- Downloadable Content: Only available as a persona after a system update.
- Love Makes You Evil: She is stated to be a "scorned lover" and a "vengeful spirit", implying a bad relationship is somehow at fault for her turning into a killer.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's an attractive woman who's clad in tight leather, has a Supermodel Strut as her walking animation and displays Navel-Deep Neckline in her elite gear.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: "The Dama Rossa" is the name only her character is ever given.
- Meaningful Name: Dama Rossa (meaning "red lady" or "red-headed lady") most likely refers to her hair colour. Or her tendency to spill blood with a hairpin... Or something else entirely even.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: Her undershirt is removed in her elite gear, displaying her cleavage that goes down to her navel.
- Supermodel Strut: To illustrate her as a Femme Fatale-type of assassin, her unique slow walking animation has her swaying her hips in a seductive fashion.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: She doesn't appear in the Brotherhood singleplayer, nor is she mentioned in Project Legacy.
- Woman Scorned: Her description says she's a "scorned lover", but nothing else elaborates on this.
The Doctor (Malfatto)
An infamous serial killer of courtesans, Malfatto was a doctor only in name, murdering many more than he saved. He was feared enough to catch the eye of Cesare Borgia, who wished to recruit the evil doctor into his personal army.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
The Engineer (Gaspar de la Croix)
Gaspar de la Croix was a master engineer and marksman. He was frequently hired by Cesare Borgia to take down easy targets on the field at the start of a battle, as well as to create the mechanisms for various complicated weaponry.

- Improbable Weapon User: His specialty weapon is... a drafting compass.
The Executioner (Il Carnefice)

- Wrestler in All of Us: One of his kill animations is an inverted Death Valley driver.
The Footpad (Lanz)

For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
- Sinister Shiv: His weapon is a shiv (he was originally supposed to have two), which is an umbrella term for all improvised weapons. His consists of a blade jammed into some wood, with some knuckle dusters attached to the handle with a cord of cloth.
The Harlequin (Cahin)
One of Cesare Borgia's assassins, Cahin was a corrupt French nobleman that dressed as a harlequin. Together with his sister Caha, he would lure his victims to their deaths while putting on a show for them.

- Downloadable Content: Only available as a persona through Uplay, costing 40 Uplay points.
The Knight (Verulo Gallo)
A knight that served the Templars, Verulo Gallo was famed for his prowess in battle. This made him extremely expensive to hire, with the price for his services rising with each successful skirmish.
- Armor Is Useless: Plate armor cannot stop a bullet. Or a compass...
- The Brute: Aside from this probably being his standard fighting style, his elite gear has him in similar attire (the helmet especially) as the Brutes that appeared in Assassin's Creed II.
- Cool Sword: It's just a standard broadsword, but definitely one of the biggest among the personas.
- Cool Helmet: His default one is kinda neat; the visor, paired with the engraving on his helm, forms the Templar cross. In his elite gear, he trades it in for another helmet that has a frickin' mohawk on it.
- Downloadable Content: Only available as a persona after a system update.
- Lightning Bruiser: Despite the fact that he's wearing what looks to be a full set of heavy, bulky armour, Verulo Gallo can run around rooftops and clamber up walls with pretty much the same speed as the other multiplayer characters. Even if they're wearing much less than he is.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: He doesn't appear in the Brotherhood singleplayer, nor is he mentioned in Project Legacy.
The Marquis (Charles de la Motte)
A French marquis that commanded an army of mercenaries, Charles de la Motte was a very valuable ally to Cesare Borgia. He was invited to Rome to strengthen alliances and simultaneously work out a plan to lure out the Assassins.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
- Downloadable Content: Only available as a persona after a system update.
The Mercenary (Rocco Tiepolo)

For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
The Nobleman (Silvestro Sabbatini)
Silvestro Sabbatini was a Templar slave trader that claimed to be a nobleman, though he was little more than an infamous panderer, using any means necessary to ascend the social ladder. He was once punished for failing Cesare by having his left arm sliced off, though he later received a prosthetic as replacement for his lost limb.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
The Officer (Teodor Viscardi)
One of Cesare Borgia's henchmen, very little is known about Teodor Viscardi, with few having seen him and even fewer having been left alive to tell about it. Armed with his trusty epieu, he carries out his master's orders without question.
- Downloadable Content: Only available as a persona through pre-ordering certain editions, or after a system update.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: His only appearance is a cameo in Fiora's memory of Donato Mancini; Project Legacy doesn't mention him again, nor does he appear in Brotherhood single-player.
The Pariah (Ilaro Lombardi)
A Templar who barely survived an Assassin attack, his face is now badly scarred and he lives in constant fear of another attack.
- Two-Faced: His mask hides a disfigurement caused by a failed attempt at his life by an Assassin.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: He never appears in Brotherhood or Project Legacy.
- Whole Costume Reference: Appears very similar to a target Ezio assassinates with a hidden gun in the cinematic trailer of Assassin's Creed II.
The Priest (Brother Ristoro)
A corrupt priest who serves the Templars by providing forged letters of condemnation or forgiveness to them.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.

A Templar agent who provides the Order with ancient relics and artifacts, often killing those in possesion of them.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Roman Templars page.
The Thief (Faustina Collari)
A thief who used to work with her brother, until he died under unknown circumstances.
- Sibling Team: Formerly with her brother under a mutual protection oath, which was somehow broken.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: She doesn't appear in either Brotherhood single-player or Project Legacy.
Revelations Multiplayer Personas
Tropes in general
- Blade Below the Shoulder: All characters have hidden blades for the more stealthy kills, which, with levelling, can be turned into a pike or small katar.
- Hard Head: One of the advanced stun moves has your character headbutt their pursuer, which is all fine and dandy in theory, but probably isn't very pleasant when said pursuer is wearing a helmet (e.g. the Crusader, the Gladiator, the Knight,...).
- I Shall Taunt You: They also all have unique taunts that can be used at any time during a match, and are necessary to earn certain achievements.
- Le Parkour: Easily just as good at this as Ezio himself (even when it doesn't make all that much sense).
- Sword and Gun: When the sword-wielding characters have the Hidden Gun as one of their abilities.
The Bombardier (Kadir)
A member of the Ottoman artillery corps, but has secret ties to the Qizilbash, a rebellious group of anti-Ottoman dissidents. He provides the Templars with information and weapons in exchange for money and power.
- Knuckle Cracking: His promotional render has him engaging in this activity.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite being part of the original multiplayer character ensemble, Kadir does not make an appearance in the singleplayer storyline.
The Brigand (Samilia Khadim)
A noblewoman who joined the Templars and used her connections to destroy opponents and gather information and wealth for the Order. Despite her high status, Samila would gladly hunt down and kill traitors herself, having "a thirst for murder".
- Ax-Crazy: It is said that the only reason she continued to do her own dirty work was because of "an insatiable bloodlust".
- Character Tics: She's rather fond of putting a finger to her lips apparently; this gesture appears in both her promotional render and the custom animation she has when she's chosen as your character.
- Expy: Has a few things in common with the Smuggler from Brotherhood. Both of them wear primarily green clothes and were known for trading in valuable items and secrets, which earned them wealth from the Templars. They also share a fair amount of bloodlust.
- Roundhouse Kick: Of sorts. One of her custom kill animations has her quickly force her spear up her target's throat, before she delivers a roundhouse kick to their face. This violently dislodges her weapon from her target's throat and sends them falling to the ground, dead.
The Champion (Georgios Kostas)
Hailing from Greece, Georgios Kostas participated in tournaments of strength in Thrace, surprising people with his desire for fame and brutality. This attracted the attention of the Templars, who subsequently hired him with promises of more money and fame.
For tropes related to his canon identity, see the Templars page.
- Wrestler in All of Us: Both of his unique kill animations have him killing his target with his bare hands, instead of his weapon. When coming from the front, in high profile, he even executes a backbreaker, which is a reference to The Blacksmith from Brotherhood.
The Corsair (Eveline Guerra)
A highly successful pirate that associated with the Templars, Eveline Guerra and her crew would ambush ships that were returning from treasure-hunting expeditions, steal their loot and redirect it into the Templars' coffers.
- Dark Action Girl: Isn't called "The Terror of the Seas" for nothing!
- Groin Attack: One of her animations has her slam the butt of her axe into her target's stomach, but this will occasionally turn into this trope, when her target is positioned just slightly higher than she is.
- Hard Head: The one multiplayer character who definitely has this, since one of her kill animations has her headbutt her target after she's stabbed them in the stomach. This trope only applies to the other multiplayer characters when the headbutt is selected as their stun move.
- Hates Being Touched: "Don't dare touch me!"
- Modesty Shorts: Wears them under her standard outfit.
- Pirate Booty: Eveline and her crew were known for ambushing ships that came back from treasure-hunting expeditions, "redirecting" their loot into the coffers of the Templars.
- Tomboy: Out of all the female multiplayer characters, Eveline is definitely the one that acts the least feminine. This is especially evident in her taunts; one of them even has her playfully slapping her butt as she makes fun of her target. Her voice also sounds a lot rougher than that of the other women.
- Tomboyish Ponytail: Has one as her second hairstyle.
- Use Your Head: As stated above, one of her kill animations has her headbutt her victims after stabbing them in the stomach.
- Weapon Twirling: She does this with her cutlass after killing someone.
The Count (Vlad Tepes)
A Wallachian lord, Vlad Tepes, also known as "Vlad The Impaler", was a secret member of the Templar Order that fought against the Ottoman Empire. He was eventually defeated and killed by the Master Assassin, Ishak Pasha, in 1476.
- Dracula: Yes, indeed. They are based on the same historical character.
- Fangs Are Evil: When Ezio opens his tomb to steal Vlad Tepes' signature sword, you get a brief glimpse of his skull... which has long, canine fangs. This ties in with the belief that he was a vampire.
- Groin Attack: One of his animations has him slam the butt of his axe into his target's stomach, but this will occasionally turn into this trope, when his target is positioned just slightly higher than he is.
- Large Ham: "Shall I have you impaled?!"
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: "Vlad The Impaler". Think on that for a bit.
- Apparently said name comes from his preferred torture method. He would put lard or some kind of lubricant on a large wooden spike and place his victims atop said spike, with the tip between their legs. They would continue
sliding down the spike and eventually be impaled. And then he'd use their bodies to scare intruders away from his fortresses.
- Apparently said name comes from his preferred torture method. He would put lard or some kind of lubricant on a large wooden spike and place his victims atop said spike, with the tip between their legs. They would continue
- Off with His Head!: When he was killed, the Ottoman Sultan wouldn't believe he was dead until his head was brought to him.
The Courtesan (Fabiola Cavazza)
Fabiola Cavazza was a courtesan from the early 16th century that had connections with the Templar Order. Known for moving like "a whisper" among the sultry shadows of Constantinople, Fabiola could dispatch of targets with ease, thanks to her bladed fan.
- Dark Is Evil: Fabiola's courtesan outfit is a striking black, which makes it sort of similar to that - the elite gear version, at least - of her predecessor, Fiora Cavazza. The sinister-looking mask, however, is absent.
- Metal Fan Of Doom: The throat slit is the preferred method of killing with it.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The original Courtesan was quite popular, either because of her sexy appearance or her sympathetic background, which is most likely why they decided to bring her back in Revelations. Since the in-game model of Fabiola is basically identical to that of Fiora, barring some minor differences, many pople assume this is still the Courtesan from Brotherhood, even though they are different people.
The Crusader (Haras)
An ambitious individual, Haras was originally an Assassin apprentice, but he got dissatisfied with his slow progression through the Assassin ranks, and defected to the Templars.
For tropes related to The Crusader's canon identity, see The Assassins Creed I character page.
- Armor Is Useless: Despite wearing quite bulky armor, he goes down just as easily as any of the other multiplayer characters.
- Badass Cape: It's a little shorter than most of the other multiplayer character, but still badass enough.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: He is technically this in the multiplayer mode, since he's the only character from the Crusades-era, whereas all of the other characters lived during the Renaissance period.
- Lightning Bruiser: Despite the fact that he's wearing what looks to be a full set of heavy, bulky armour, Haras can run around rooftops and clamber up walls with pretty much the same speed as the other multiplayer characters. Even if they're wearing much less than he is.
The Deacon (Cyril of Rhodes)
A disgraced member of the Eastern Orthodox Church, Cyril plots to kill the Patriarch of Constantinople in revenge for being publicly humiliated. He uses what authority he has left in the church to advance Templar goals.
For tropes related to The Deacon's canon identity, see The Templars page.
The Guardian (Odai Dunqas)
A cousin of the Sultan of the Sennar Sultanate, Dunqas was driven from his homeland and became estranged from his family. Upon learning of the Templar philosophy, he whole-heartedly embraced the Order, naming himself "The Guardian of the Truth".
For tropes related to The Guardian's canon identity, see The Templars page.
- Spin Attack: One of his custom kill animations has him twirling around his target (while viciously slashing them up, of course) like a ballerina. It's quite... dizzying sometimes.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Maybe a little less obvious than say, one of the Champion's customisations, but definitely counts. Whether it's a long-sleeved or a short-sleeved shirt, Odai Dunqas seems determined to show off his impressive pectorals.
The Gladiator (Anacletos)
An orphan that was sold into slavery and eventually became a gladiator, Anacletos' emerging talents were soon noticed by the Templars and they offered him a place among their order. Gladly accepting, he would, from then on, hunt his targets with dedication and ferocity.
- Cool Sword: His signature weapon, a spatha, is definitely one of the biggest swords around.
- Blood Knight: Only joined the Templars because they gave him an excuse to kill.
- The Faceless: All of his head skins have him donning a kind of gladiator helmet that completely covers up his face. Ironically, one of these helmets is shaped like an actual, Roman-looking face.
- Fashionable Asymmetry: Has a bit of this on his default armour.
- Lightning Bruiser: Despite the fact that he's wearing what looks to be a full set of heavy, bulky armour, Anacletos can run around rooftops and clamber up walls with pretty much the same speed as the other multiplayer characters. Even if they're wearing much less than he is.
The Knight (Scevola Spina)
A knight that lived during the early 16th century, Scevola Spina would eagerly lend his abilities to the Templar cause, wishing to follow in the footsteps of Verulo Gallo, whom he idolised.
- Armor Is Useless: Plate armor can not stop a bullet. Or an icepick...
- Cool Sword: It's just a standard broadsword, but definitely one of the biggest among the personas.
- Cool Helmet: He only has access to one though, unlike his Brotherhood counterpart.
- Lightning Bruiser: Despite the fact that he's wearing what looks to be a full set of heavy, bulky armour, Scevola Spina can run around rooftops and clamber up walls with pretty much the same speed as the other multiplayer characters. Even if they're wearing much less than he is.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For the original Knight, of course. Unlike Fabiola however, who basically looks identical to her predecessor, the similarity in looks between Scevola Spina and Verulo Gallo has a more sensible explanation. Scevola Spina was inspired by his Italian counterpart, and, wanting to follow in his footsteps, would don the same attire and use the same weapon.
The Ottoman Doctor (Seraffo)
Once dedicated to healing his patients, Seraffo now has more of a tendency to harm. An expatriate from Venice, he became a Templar agent that would gladly put under his designated victims through the use of his deadly syringe.
- Improbable Weapon User: A sharp syringe filled with poison, just like his predecessor. The only difference is the poison in question, which is stated as being "a mercury solution of his own making".
- Playing with Syringes: He wields a bladed syringe, which allows him to use the syringe to inflict stab wounds as well.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Of the original Doctor from Brotherhood. The character model used for Seraffo is basically identical to the one that was originally made for Malfatto's elite gear, aside from the rather obvious switch from black to white.
The Ottoman Jester (Dulcamara)
A deadly, twisted killer, Dulcamara was a Venetian expatriate and jester that came into the employment of the Templars after his antics caused the ruin of a Sultan's beloved vizier.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: As with the Courtesan, the popularity of the Harlequin from Brotherhood most likely prompted the game developers to have him return in Revelations, albeit under a different guise. The in-game model is mostly the same, although there are minor differences, such as the mask and hat, and a rather striking Palette Swap.
The Privateer (Blaise Legros)
A ruthless ship captain who will work for any that can afford his price, with those who can't often finding themselves stranded in the middle of the sea.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: A Rare Male Example. If you have them equipped with their standard weapon, the multiplayer characters will usually perform some kind of badass-looking animation when they are selected. The Privateer will attempt this as well, throwing his cutlass into the air, but, hilariously, fails to catch it when it comes down again.
- Groin Attack: One of his animations has him slam the butt of his axe into his target's stomach, but this will occasionally turn into this trope, when his target is positioned just slightly higher than he is.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: Both his default and second outfit have him dressed a little carelessly, like you would expect from a pirate. Surprise surprise, when he turns out to look quite sharp when you select most of the third options; a more clean-shaven look, an embroidered vest and some actual, decent pants can go a long way.
- Only in It for the Money: He'll work for the Assassins or the Templars; just depends on who pays him.
The Renegade (Shahkulu)
A relentless individual, Shahkulu was left an orphan after an Ottoman ambush destroyed his tribe. As a youth, he came in contact with the Templar Order, which he quickly joined. His hatred of the Ottoman Turks was surpassed only by his fierce determination to eliminate all opposition of the Templar's ideology.
For tropes related to The Renegade's canon identity, see The Templars page.
The Sentinel (Vali cel Tradat)
A Wallachian noble, Vali cel Tradat was a loyal Assassin for many years, until the Brotherhood made peace with the Ottomans, who had invaded his home and killed his idol, Vlad Tepes. He betrayed them and joined the Templars to seek revenge.
For tropes related to The Sentinel's canon identity, see The Templars page.
The Thespian (Lysistrata)
A wealthy Byzantine, Lysistrata lived a life of luxury and nonchalance. She was schooled in the arts by the Templars, and in exchange she would use her "seductive charisma" on Ottoman officials and visiting monarchs.
For tropes related to The Thespian's canon identity, see The Templars page.
- Slashed Throat: Throat slit optional, though she does impale heads and severe spines just as well.
- Of Corsets Sexy: One of her customisations features an opened one.
The Trickster (Mirela Djuric)
A Romani who was an expert thief and fortune teller, she provided the Templars with a vital link to the underworld of Constantinople and was consequently shunned by her own people.
For tropes related to The Trickster's canon identity, see The Templars page.
- Groin Attack: One of her animations has her slam the butt of her axe into her target's stomach, but this will occasionally turn into this trope, when her target is positioned just slightly higher than she is.
- Modesty Shorts: Sort of a prerequisite; one of her custom kill animations involves her vaulting over her targets before killing them, while the camera is, coincidentally, at just the right angle to look up her skirt. Averted with her third accessory skin, where there's not much skirt to speak of.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: One of her "blouses" has a neckline that reaches her abdomen.
The Vanguard (Oksana Razin)
A Cossack from Odessa, she joined the Templars after they offered her a chance to strike back at the advancing Ottoman Empire, exchanging loyalty for wealth and power. She seemed to have primarily been an information gatherer, spying on the enemy, though she obviously knew her way around a weapon as well.
- Every Man Has His Price: Switches loyalties for the wealth and power offered to her by the Templars. Initially, she served her home country of Odessa, but spying for the Templars turned out to be far more profitable. That, and it allowed her to strike right at the heart of the Ottoman Empire, something which her original occupation did not allow.
- Groin Attack: One of her animations has her slam the butt of her axe into her target's stomach, but this will occasionally turn into this trope, when her target is positioned just slightly higher than she is.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite being part of the original multiplayer character ensemble, Oksana does not make an appearance in the singleplayer storyline.
The Vizier (Damat Ali Pasha)
Initially a loyal servant of Sultan Bayezid II, Damat Ali Pasha turned to the Templar Order after the Sultan's ambition to conquer the world subsided. He sought to deliver the people into the arms of his order, so that order and glory could be brought to a world of chaos.
For tropes related to The Vizier's canon identity, see The Templars page.
- Dual Wielding: An interesting example, since the Vizier does not actually wield two swords. However, when you have him equipped with his speciality weapon, a sword, one of his kill animations has him slashing his target across the back with both the blade and the sheath in a kind of X-formation.
- Perpetual Frowner: Like most male multiplayer characters, Damat Ali Pasha's default expression is a nasty scowl.
- Real Men Wear Pink: Whereas the other male characters usually have access to dyes such as green, brown or dark blue, Damat Ali Pasha does not only have purplish-blue as his default colour, but also pink as an optional one. Luckily, this is compensated by the last option, which has him in pure black.
