The '''Footpad '''(real name: '''[[Lanz]]''') is an unlockable multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', who becomes available after the player has reached level 35. He uses a pair of daggers called [[Multiplayer Weapons#Shivs|Shivs]].

==Unique Moves ==

'''''The Second Chancer (High Profile, Front)'''''
: The Footpad runs directly at his target and raises one of his shivs for a high attack, but the target resists by grabbing his arms and pushes him back. Then, The Footpad ducks down to waist level for another attempt and stabs the lower torso of the target.

'''''Beat Down Brawl (Low Profile, Front)'''''
: The Footpad approaches his target and inflicts a rapid sequence of punches to the middle of their torso, followed by an uppercut to his target's jaw, which sends his victim's head backwards. Once their neck is exposed, he brings down his Shivs to the lower neck for the final blow.

'''''The Double Piercing (Low Profile, Back)'''''
: The Footpad approaches from behind, grabbing his target by their left shoulder, before stabbing them in the side of the abdomen twice, the second stab forcing his victim to the floor as they go limp.

'''''The Swift Slasher (High Profile, Back)'''''
: The Footpad runs to his target from behind and slashes them horizontally across their spine, before stabbing them in the left of the abdomen and hastily removing his shiv.

'''''Blind and Helpless (Bench Kill)'''''
:The Footpad slashes his seated target across the eyes with his right shiv, before spinning the blade around in his hand and stabbing his victim through the throat. After stabbing them, he pulls his shiv free, which also pulls his victim to the floor.

'''''The Phantom Fang (Aerial Kill) '''''
:The Footpad jumps from a rooftop, pulling out one of his shivs in mid-air while he falls towards his target. Using the downward momentum, he lands on them to break his fall and embeds his shiv into the neck of his victim. Pulling his shiv free, the Footpad stores it away while his victim lies dead on the floor.

==Trivia==
*"Footpad" is an old-fashioned word for thief, but was replaced by the term "Mugger" in the late 15th century.
*In the Dutch version of the game, the footpad translates to "the highwayman".
*It is interesting to note that, in the trailer showing the Footpad, he is seen perhaps stealing something from the [[Barber]]'s waist, before becoming the target of the chase; not unlike the [[Pickpocketing#Pickpockets|Pickpockets]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
**Pickpocketing is not an action performable in the mulitplayer. It is unknown how or why this action was performed in the trailer, however, it was most likely cosmetic.
**The Barber seems to be chasing the Footpad in order to assassinate him, however, the Footpad kills the Barber very shortly afterwards.
*In the Limited Codex Edition of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, on the multiplayer character card, there is a spelling mistake: "Cutting through groups of people, he moves towards his target as silent and deadly as a snake. Quickly, he rushes to his victim, brandishes his two knives and plants them into flesh, as if they were fangs. The target falls, '''the crowd creams''', but the Footpad has already vanished."
*Strangely, the Russian translation of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood labels him as "Soldier".
*Lanz is an old Germanic name, meaning that Lanz may possibly be German. If he is German, the fact that his elite gear consists of him wearing a turban is only because he is a 'thief'.
*His shivs have what looks like brass knuckles, which can be why he punches his target in his Beat Down kill animation.
*It is bizarre to note that although it is stated the Footpad uses two shivs, only one is seen/used in-game.

''This article is about the multiplayer character. You may be looking for the [[Courtesans]] faction.''

The '''Courtesan''' (real name: '''[[Fiora Cavazza]]''') is a character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Ascendance]]''. She uses a [[Multiplayer Weapons#Fan|bladed fan]] as her primary weapon. She differs from the courtesans seen in ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' singleplayer, most notably by her different outfit and hairstyle.

==Unique Moves==

'''''Fan Flurry (Low Profile, Front)'''''

: The Courtesan walks up to her target and, with surprising force, she stands on her tiptoes before suddenly slicing her victim's throat with her bladed fan. As a result, her target collapses to the ground, choking on their own blood.

'''''Deadly Allure (Low Profile, Back) '''''

:The Courtesan quietly walks behind her target and reaches for her fan, however her victim notices her presence and looks over their shoulder towards her. The Courtesan then takes the opportunity, by pulling out her weapon and slashing her victim's throat, before putting her fan back at her waist.

'''''The Lethal Pirouette (High Profile, Front) '''''

:The Courtesan runs up towards her target from the front and leaps upward, spinning around in the air while slashing her victim's throat with her bladed fan. She lands daintily and restores her fan to its holder, while her target's dead body lies on the floor.

'''''The Butterfly (High Profile, Back) '''''

: The Courtesan sprints up to her target from behind and rolls over their back with her legs extended in the air, before landing on her knees in front of them. Then, while her victim is still dazed, she severs their neck to the bone with her fan.

'''''Fatal Attraction (Bench Kill) '''''

: The Courtesan tilts her target's face up by the chin, and stares almost sensuously into their eyes, before suddenly taking her fan and slashing them across the neck. Her victim stands and grasps at their throat to stop the bleeding, but by then it is already too late, with their dead body collapsing to the ground.

'''''Cupid's Arrow (Aerial Kill) '''''

:The Courtesan pounces on her target from above, landing on either their front or their back. After jumping onto her victim, she unfolds her fan, before bringing it back around to slash at her target's neck. The Courtesan then retracts her fan to store it back in its holster, walking away and leaving her victim to die from the fatal wound.

==Customization==
Colors:
*Basic: White
*Extra 1: Pink
*Extra 2: Blue
*Extra 3: Black
Gear:
*Advanced: Added laces on chest, black straps on right leg, and a shackle bracelet on her right wrist.
*Superior: Added Renaissance mask with a flower hairpiece, and a tied ribbon necklace.
*Elite: All pink sections of her clothing and gloves are changed to black, aside from a pink stripe down her robes.
