The '''Harlequin''' (real name: '''Cahin '''<ref> [[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]] </ref> ) is an exclusive multiplayer character featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', available via pre-order on Gamestop.com, Play.com and Ubisoft.com. He is also available in the HMV Exclusive Edition and the Limited Codex Edition of ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''. A jack-in-the box of the Harlequin is also available to those who pre-order the Collector's edition of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' from GameStop. Until November 16th 2010, gaming website Kongregate held a contest for a copy of AC: Brotherhood, which, to enter, you simply had to complete level 3 of Ultimate Assassin 2. One lucky winner would win the game with the exclusive Harlequin character and an Xbox 360 to play it on, and several other contestants would recieve a copy of the game with the exclusive character.

He uses two stiletto daggers as his primary weapons. Another playable multiplayer character, known as the [[Hellequin]], is confirmed to be his sister, as stated by their multiplayer character descriptions.

In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', Cahin and his sister Caha are first encountered by [[Fiora Cavazza]] as they perform together. The performance turns out to be a trap, however, with Cahin, Caha, and Fiora killing all the guests present. Fiora notes to herself that the siblings seem to be mad, yet fun. Later on, when Fiora changes sides and joins the [[Assassins]] in weakening [[Cesare Borgia]]'s defenses, she aids in assassinating Cahin and Caha. The attack was successful, with the siblings dying together during the assault.

==Unique moves==
===The Killing Joke===
The Harlequin nearly stabs the target under the chest, flips over their back, then stabs the victim in the neck and to the right of the chest cavity, leaving them incapacitated and internally bleeding to death.

==Sacrifical Strike==
From behind, the Harlequin stabs the target's waist, making them fall. Right when they fall, he stabs their neck with the other dagger, then again with the other dagger, causing them to go limp. The body then falls to the ground as he withdraws the daggers.

===Killing Wheel===
The Harlequin does a cartwheel, kicking his victim in the head and knocking them to the floor. He then quickly stabs his victim in the chest, and allows them to fall to the floor as he withdraws his weapons (as seen at 0:19 in the video below).

===More is Merrier===
The Harlequin pushes his target down and stabs their chest/neck maniacally several times. This can be performed running at or jumping on a target (as shown in the video below at 0:55).

Hellequin

2010-12-19T05:10:59Z

108.27.84.254: /* Trivia */

{{Quote|Caha, along with her brother Cahin, uses theatrics to beguile and brutalize her victims.|Ubisoft}}
[[File:HellequinFull.jpg|thumb|200px|Hellequin]]
Caha, also known as the '''Hellequin''', is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. Her brother, Cahin, is the [[Harlequin]], and they are natives of France who work for Cesare Borgia.

Despite her brightly-coloured costume and somewhat eccentric headgear, the Hellequin clearly prefers to act in dramas. Especially the bloody ones. When using her two gold [[Twin Daggers|daggers]] , she’s sure to always leave the audience with a grin from ear-to-ear. She wears default purple and yellow attire with a hat and a face mask.

In [[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'']], Caha and Cahin are first seen doing a performance together, while [[Fiora Cavazza]] watches them. The performance turnes out to be a ruse, with Caha, Cahin, and Fiora killing all of the guests attending. Fiora notes that the siblings seem mad, but fun. Later on, after Fiora turns tail and helps the [[Assassins]] weaken [[Cesare Borgia]]'s defense, she joins them in assassinating Caha and Cahin.
==Unique Moves==
===Cunning Trick===
The Hellequin taps her victim on the shoulder, spinning around them as the victim turns. As the victim searches for someone, the Hellequin stabs them once quickly in the spine.
===Killer Hop===
The Hellequin vaults over her victim whilst stabbing them below both shoulder blades, then lands and pushes the victim over.

[[File:Hellequeen_blades.jpg|thumb|Twin Daggers|left]]

==Trivia==
*The Hellequin can be unlocked through [[Uplay]] for 40 Uplay Points.
*It has been confirmed that the [[Harlequin]] is her brother, as stated by their in-game Multiplayer descriptions.
*"Hellequin" is not a play on the word "harlequin", slotting out "harl" for "hell", as people have been led to believe. The Hellequin was the precursor to the traditional harlequin.

Fiora Cavazza

2010-12-19T04:59:43Z

108.27.84.254: /* Final Assignments */

{{imageneed}}
'''Fiora Cavazza''' was a [[Courtesans|courtesan]] working in the [[Rosa in Fiore]] and later a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]]. She appears as a playable character in the multi-player mode of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', under the title of [[Courtesan (multiplayer character)|Courtesan]].

==Life in the Rosa in Fiore==
{{quote|I am a fine wine served in a low class tavern.|Fiora, regarding the Rosa in Fiore.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}

In 1497 A.D., Fiora Cavazza was a [[Courtesans|courtesan]] who lived and worked in the [[Rosa in Fiore]] [[Brothels|brothel]] in [[Rome]], under the leadership of [[Madonna Solari]]. Fiora was not satisfied with her life under Madonna Solari, and was eager to build powerful connections with her clients, so that she would no longer have to work in the Rosa in Fiore. She often ventured outside to gather information and allies, and earned the jealousy of the other girls by her success in doing so.

During her stay in the Rosa in Fiore, she and another courtesan, Lucia, were dispatched to escort Madonna Solari's brother, Santino. Along the trip that they escorted him on, Santino treated Fiora and Lucia violently, and by the end of the night, Fiora had suspected that whatever it was that Santino was dabbling in, his trade was crumbling.

Not long after this event, the Rosa in Fiore was visited by a charming but mysterious client: [[Cesare Borgia]]. Fiora was attracted to Cesare's charm, and they spent some time conversing together. At first, Fiora thought he was there to enjoy her services, but Cesare explained that that is not the case; in return for their lives being spared, Madonna Solari and Santino had allowed Cesare to choose one of the girls for him to take, and he had chosen Fiora.

==In the employ of Cesare Borgia==
{{quote|I have served the Borgia for six years now. Done horrible things. Seen the fantastic. I regret none of it.|Fiora, on working for the Borgia.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}

From 1497 to 1503, Fiora served Cesare loyally, merely posing as a courtesan while living under his patronage and making various contacts, many of them [[Templars]]. Among the Templar agents Fiora encountered was [[Priest (multiplayer character)|Brother Ristoro]], a corrupt member of the clergy and frequent visitor to the Rosa in Fiore who supplied Cesare with religious items and letters for him to dispense at his will. Another supplier to Cesare was a smuggler named [[Lia de Russo]]. Fiora would meet with her, and Lia would hand her various trinkets and antiquities. Fiora also met [[Auguste Oberlin]], Cesare's own blacksmith, and [[Gaspar de la Croix]], Cesare's engineer, who Fiora describes as "a haunted man."

==Final Assignments==
{{quote|[[Liberation of Rome|A war]] has made its way to Roma, fought in the streets, the senate and the churches. Cesare has tasked me to coordinate his shadow army.|Fiora, regarding the war in Rome.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}

Later, Fiora was trusted with the task of managing Cesare's underground army, a group of people she described as his "personal collection of misfits."

The first, [[Mercenary (multiplayer character)|Rocco Tiepolo]], was a condottiero, from whom Fiora was tasked to gather the finest mercenaries.

Fiora was later also sent to bribe [[Donato Mancini]], who was said to be Cesare's finest horseman, to let Cesare win a racing match that was to take place that day. Donato was unmoved by the bribe and threats that Fiora relayed, and managed to win the race despite Cesare's [[Teodor Viscardi|agent]] sent to deter him.

Fiora also met with the [[Cento Occhi]], a group of thieves led by a young man named [[Lanz]], who Cesare suspected had raided one of the Borgia carriages. Fiora managed to convince Lanz to return the stolen money, and have his gang work for Cesare and the Borgia.

Cesare also assigned Fiora to meet and work with [[Barber|Baltasar de Silva]], one of his agents posing as a mere barber, to study Cesare's enemies, a league of [[Assassins]]. Together, they watched as one of Cesare's senators was assassinated, and although Fiora felt defeat when the Assassin escaped, Baltasar was more optimistic with his finds.

Fiora's next assignment was to work with [[Cahin]] and [[Caha]], a brother-sister pair of harlequins. Together, the three of them killed a group of guests at what was disguised as a performance by Cahin and Caha.

Fiora also met with [[Il Carnefice]], a twisted executioner with a love of his carnage, and [[Silvestro Sabbatini]], Cesare's failed agent to whom she must deliver a second chance by giving him a prosthetic arm

==Malfatto==
{{Quote|He is a predator of women. A monster.|Fiora, on [[Malfatto]].|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}

Cesare's last contact assignment was [[Malfatto]], a [[Doctors|doctor]] with a love for slaughtering the courtesans of Roma. Fiora was frightened with the prospect of meeting up with him, especially since she had seen one of his victims lying in a pool of blood, but Cesare insisted that she present a certain envelope to him. When she finally met Malfatto, Fiora was nearly attacked by him, but she managed to fend him off by shouting Cesare Borgia's name and handing over the letter she was to give him.

Later that night, Fiora returned to the house that Cesare had bought for her, but was unable to sleep. In the middle of the night, she felt a pricking sensation at her neck, and was shocked to find not an insect, but Malfatto injecting her with his [[syringe]]. The contents of the syringe began to take effect on Fiora, but she managed to wound Malfatto with her [[Fan|metal fan]] before losing consciousness. When she woke up, Malfatto had gone, but Fiora's loyalty to Cesare had diminished; she was determined to betray him to the Assassins. Fiora crafted a list, containing the names of Cesare's finest agents that she had worked with, and sent them to the Assassins. To her surprise, the Assassin who came to pick her up was the blossoming painter, [[Francesco Vecellio]].

==Working with the Assassins==
{{Quote|I am done with Cesare. Done with the mad people who surround him.|Fiora, regarding leaving the Borgia's employment.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}

Fiora followed the Assassins as they targeted the names on the list she had given them. The first of the betrayed agents to be assassinated was Rocco Tiepolo, and his mercenaries. The fight against them proved a brutal massacre, but the Assassins overcame them surprisingly easily. Fiora and the Assassins targeted the siblings Cahin and Caha next, whom they found performing in the streets. Cahin was swiftly assassinated, and while Caha at first tried to fight back, she realized that she was fighting a losing battle and finally accepted death, cradling her dead brother and stroking his unmasked cheek.

Afterwards, Fiora led the Assassins to Baltasar de Silva's hideout, where they planned to ambush him, but Baltasar proved a crafty opponent and managed to escape them. When Fiora checked the remains of the burnt building, she found a letter from Baltasar for her. In the letter, he told her that he wanted them to meet, to discuss things. Fiora complied and visited the place Baltasar directed her to, but realised too late that it was a trap when marksmen appeared from the crates and aimed for her. Fiora bowed her head, but the gunshots never came. When she looked up, Baltasar and the marksmen were dead, shot by arrows; the Assassins had saved her.

Fiora's final target was [[Il Lupo]], a Templar agent that she and Baltasar had once trained to imitate the Assassins as perfectly as possible, mimicking their clothes, techniques, and weapons. Fiora feared that Il Lupo would be the one link to reveal what harm she had done to the Assassins, and thus she confronted him alone. The two fought a formidable battle, but in the end, Fiora was able to kill him with poison.

After she was allied to the Assassins, Fiora paid a visit to Cesare Borgia, where she was noticed by Cesare's presumed son, [[Giovanni Borgia (1498)|Giovanni]]. There she showed distrust towards Cesare, something he reciprocated on her. Late at night, Giovanni witnessed Fiora sneaking about to take the [[Apple of Eden|Apple]]. Thinking she was there to play, Giovanni snatched the Apple and made Fiora pursue her, but Cesare was awoken and caught up with them. Although Fiora's eventual fate was vague, it was implied that Cesare had her killed or at least harmed.

[[File:Zw-thenobleman.png|thumb|152px|The Noble]]
{{Template:Quote|A sycophantic noble, deformed in both body and mind, Silvestro Sabbatini answers only to [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]] himself.|Ubisoft Description}}

The '''Noble''' (real name: '''Silvestro Sabbatini''') previously known as The Banker is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', who uses a [[Claw|claw]] as his primary weapon. [[Ubisoft]] states that he will also make an appearance in the single-player mode of [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'']] along with a few of the other multiplayer characters.

Though he claimed to be a noble, Silvestro was an infamous panderer, using any means necessary to ascend the social ladder. [[Fiora Cavazza]] compared him to a spider, always looking for his next meal.

His left arm was removed when he failed [[Cesare Borgia]], though how he failed is a mystery. The prosthetic arm was given to him by [[Fiora Cavazza]] as a second chance from [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]]. Afterwards he began to participate in human trafficking, an activity that drew the attention of [[Ezio Auditore]].

Ezio Auditore ordered one of his recruits to assasinate Silvestro after tailing him to the slaves.

==Unique Moves==
[[File:Neck_scrap.png|thumb|left|150px|First Class Cut in action]]
===First Class Cut===
The Noble rushes towards his target from behind and clips the back of their neck, severing the top of the spinal cord, and causing the target to collapse to the ground.

===The Claw Cliché===
The Noble leaps from a rooftop onto the target, forcing them to the ground.

==Trivia==
*His claw is not only a primary weapon, but also a prosthetic in place of half of his left arm.
*His special attack is actually a form of [[Hidden Blade#Air_Assassination|air assassination]]. Another multiplayer character, the [[Prowler]], also has a variation of this attack.
*He was originally called the Banker.
*His surname Sabbatini derives from a name given to a person born on "Sabato," meaning Saturday, which was a good omen.

Gaspar de la Croix

108.27.84.254: /* Trivia */

=={{Revamp}}==

[[Video:Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood: Templar Agent: Firing Range: Variety Pack|thumb|right|380px|Deaths of Gaspar]]

[[File:Engineer.jpg|thumb|Gaspar de la Croix.]]
'''Gaspar de la Croix''' was a [[Templar]] agent and master engineer, who lived in [[Renaissance]] [[Rome]]. While in the Campagna district, [[Ezio]] saw a man who was hiding from Gaspar behind a stone archway. The man said that Gaspar was trying to kill him, and Ezio decided to help out. The man said he would sneak up to Gaspar, while Ezio would flank him, however as soon as the man tried to make his way to cover, Gaspar had shot him, leaving Ezio to give chase. Ezio reached Gaspar's cliff-side residence, where he assassinated the engineer.

Gaspar de la Croix appears in the Multiplayer of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', under the title of [[Engineer]].

==Database Entry==
''Date of Birth: 1466.''
Profession: Sniper.

''I found this in [[Abstergo]]'s database: "Gaspar de la Croix is a master weapons engineer as well as an expert marksman."''

''Although the profession of sniper didn't exist yet in the 16th century, Gaspar was something of a pioneer. His skill with a firearm spared him any close confrontations on the battlefield and [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare ]]made use of his skill to take down easy targets at the beginning of a fight.''

==Trivia==

*Gaspar de la Croix fights like an arquebusier
*"de la Croix" is of french origin and it means "From The Cross",showing his affiliation with the Templars
