'''Oiá:ner''' (English: ''Clan Mother'') was the leader of the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]] village of [[Kanatahséton]]. She and the other Kanien'kehá:ka in the village served as protectors of the sacred ground on which both their village and the [[Grand Temple]] stood. Oiá:ner was also the keeper of the village's [[Crystal Balls|Crystal Ball]].<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

==Biography==
In 1769, Oiá:ner showed Kanatahséton's Crystal Ball to [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] upon his return from a hunt and allowed him to interact with it. The Crystal Ball forced him into the [[Nexus]], where he communicated with [[Juno]] and learned of his destiny with the [[Assassins]].<ref name="AC3"/>

Many years later, the Clan Mother met with an adult Ratonhnhaké:ton and told him of the whereabouts of [[Kanen'tó:kon]] and other Kanien'kehá:ka men, who were attempting to attack the [[Continental Army|Continental soldiers]].<ref name="AC3"/>

Some time following Kanen'tó:kon's death, Oiá:ner spoke with Ratonhnhaké:ton once more, where she revealed to him that she planned to move their people to the west to avoid the [[American Revolutionary War]], like many of the other nations had been doing. After his unpleasant reaction, she told him that she would do what was best for her people, to which Ratonhnhaké:ton left the village. On his return some years later, he found the village deserted save for a frontiersman, who told him that his people had moved west.<ref name="AC3"/>

==Alternate timeline==
In a timeline conjured up by an [[Apple of Eden 3|Apple of Eden]], Oiá:ner was also the Clan Mother of the Kanatahséton village. However, instead of being concerned with pacifistic protection of their lands, it was her who encouraged the people to resist King [[George Washington|Washington]]'s army.<ref name="TOKW">''Assassin's Creed III'' - ''[[The Tyranny of King Washington]]''</ref>

In this regard, Oiá:ner suggested that Ratonhnhaké:ton drink the Red Willow tea to give him the power to defeat King Washington, against [[Kaniehtí:io]]'s wishes. The Clan Mother also led the Native resistance against the tyrant, however, despite her aims to safeguard her village by combating the threat, Oiá:ner and her fellow villagers were killed in a Bluecoat raid.<ref name="TOKW"/>

==Trivia==
*''Oiá:ner'' is the Kanien'keha word for "clan mother," and translates to "righteous" or "she is good." Aside from this title, the actual name for the Kanatahséton clan mother was not given in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''.<ref>[http://www.mohawktraditionalcouncil.org/clans.html Mohawk Traditional Council website]</ref>
*During any of the [[interactive conversations]] with Oiá:ner, Ratonhnhaké:ton could kill her with ranged weapons, although it did not affect the story.

{{Quote|Rise! So I can kill you again.|The Shaman.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
The '''Shaman''' (harvested from: '''[[Dakodonou]]''') was an Animi Avatar used by the [[Abstergo Entertainment|entertainment branch]] of [[Abstergo Industries]], as part of their plan to influence the general public, via the console stage of the [[Animus]] technology. He wielded a tribal axe as his primary weapon, suitable for Vodou ceremonies.

==Unique Moves==
The Shaman had several unique moves:

'''''(Low Profile, Front)'''''

Facing his target, the Shaman pulls out his axe and butts its head into their stomach, winding them, which makes them bend over. After this, he swings the weapon down at his victim's exposed back, severing their spine and subsequently killing them. Following this, he then removes his axe as he watches them collapse backwards.

'''''(Low Profile, Back)'''''

Behind his target, the Shaman takes out his axe and embeds it into the right of their hip, making them recoil in agony, before he removes his weapon and strikes down hard in between their shoulder blades. Driving his victim to their knees, he lets them collapse as he sheathes his weapon.

'''''(High Profile, Front)'''''

Facing his target, the Shaman takes ahold of his axe and swiftly slices it across their neck, causing them to spin around. He then quickly follows up on this attack by embedding his weapon into his wounded victim's side and roughly pulls it free again, yanking them to the ground where they die of blood loss.

'''''(High Profile, Back)'''''

Behind his target, the Shaman grabs his axe and acrobatically jumps upwards, before brutally embedding his weapon in his victim's back. Using the force of the blow, he pushes them down to the ground and then roughly pulls his axe free, before storing it at his waist.

'''''(Personal High Profile, Front)'''''

Upon reaching his target, the Shaman takes his tribal axe in hand and swings it deep into the crevice of their neck. As they stare at him in shock, the Shaman brutally thrusts his hand into their chest and violently rip out their heart. Gazing down at his bloodstained hand and squashing the organ in his palm, the Shaman subsequently removes his weapon from his victim's shoulder and carelessly leaves their body to crumple to the ground.

'''''(Personal High Profile, Back)'''''

Sprinting behind his target, the Shaman seizes them by the base of the neck and yanks them backward, exposing their torso to attack. He then delivers two swift chops to their chest with the edge of his axe, with the force of the blows pushing them further back. After the second of his attacks, the Shaman allows his heavily wounded victim to collapse to the ground, bleeding from his sudden assault.

'''''(Aerial Kill)'''''

Jumping down from above, the Shaman pounces onto his target with his axe, before he brutally smashes it into their head, killing them instantly. Following this, he gets up and hastily yanks his weapon out, leaving their body on the ground where it lays.

'''''(Bench Kill)'''''

Grabbing his seated target's foot, the Shaman drags them off the bench until their head rests against it. Before his victim can do anything to defend themselves, he forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking their neck on the bench behind them.

==Taunts==

==Trivia==

*The Shaman shares his war paints and tattoos with the [[Jaguar]].
*The Shaman's ''Personal High Profile'' kill, wherein he rips out his target's heart, is the only one to date in the multiplayer to feature explicit gore.
