'''Honor, Lost and Won''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations]]''.
==Description==
Ezio follows the [[Janissaries]] to their barracks and locates [[Tarik Barleti]] to learn where he had sent the weapons purchased by [[Manuel Palaiologos]], and to assassinate the corrupt Captain.

==Dialogue==
[[File:Honor lost won v 3.png|thumb|250px|A guard announcing the news about the dead Janissary.]]
Ezio follows the Janissaries, wearing his slightly damaged disguise.

*'''Janissary 1:''' ''[[Selim I|Selim]] understands our plight. The [[Byzantines]], the Mamluks, the Safavid. Only he has the courage to face these threats.''
*'''Janissary 2:''' Haklisin. ''(You speak truth.) Selim is a warrior. Like Osman and Mehmet.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''So why has our Sultan chosen a cat over our lion.''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''[[Ahmet]] shares the Sultan's calm temperament. They are too much alike, I fear.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''Why does Ahmet linger in [[Constantinople|this city]]? He knows he is not wanted.''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''He is like a moth hovering around an open flame. Waiting for [[Bayezid II|his father]] to perish so that he may step to the throne.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''Did you hear? He offered Tarik a sum of money in exchange for our loyalty.''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''God damn him. What did Tarik do?''
*'''Janissary 1: '''''He spent half the money on horse feed and sent the rest to Selim!''
They arrive at the Janissaries camp.
*'''Guard:''' Khardeshlerim! ''(Brothers!) One of our own was found murdered and stripped of his garments not an hour ago, his body dumped like a mound of rubbish. Keep a close watch on these streets as you move about. Someone is planning to strike in our name. We must be ready.''

Ezio infiltrates the camp, and overhears several Janissaries talking.

*'''Janissary 1:''' ''Any news from the north?''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''Selim's forces have fallen back to Varna. Heavy losses I am told.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' Olacak shey degil, oye degil mi? ''(Incredible, isn't it?) I pray for a swift conclusion.''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''Yes, but in which direction?''
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''I cannot say. My heart sides with our Sultan, but my head hopes for Selim.''
<br/>
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''Have you met Selim's young son,'' Shehzade ''(Prince) [[Suleiman I|Suleiman]]?''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''Not personally, but I have seen him. I know he is a remarkable boy.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''Not a boy, but a capable young man. With a magnificent mind.''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''Does he take after his father?''
*'''Janissary 1:''' Belki. ''(Perhaps.) Though I suspect he is another sort of man altogether.''
<br/>
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''Sultan Bayezid is a good man, and a kind Sultan... but he has lost the fire that made him great.''
*'''Janissary 2:''' ''No, no. He is still a fighter. Look at the army he has raised against Selim.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''This is further evidence of his decline. To take up arms against his own son? Shameful.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' ''Do not bend the truth to match the contours of your passion,'' efendi ''(sir). It was Selim who attacked our Sultan.''
*'''Janissary 1:''' Evet, evet. ''(Yes, yes.) But Selim did so for the glory of the Empire, not himself.''

Ezio reaches the center of the camp and oversees Tarik meeting with a Janissary.

*'''Janissary:''' ''Tarik. A message for you.''
*'''Tarik:''' Harikulade. ''(Perfect.) The rifles have arrived in [[Cappadocia]], where Manuel has garrisoned his army.''
*'''Janissary:''' ''And our men, are they still with him?''
*'''Tarik:''' Evet. ''(Yes.) They will contact us when the Byzantines decamp, then we will meet them when they reach Bursa.''
*'''Janissary:''' ''Everything is falling into place,'' efendim ''(my Lord).''
*'''Tarik:''' Evet. ''(Yes.) For once.''

Ezio assassinates Tarik.

*'''Tarik:''' ''Ah, what a bitter irony. Is this the result of Suleiman's investigation?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You collude with the Sultan's enemies. What did you expect would come of such treachery?''
*'''Tarik:''' ''I blame myself. Not for treason, but hubris. I was preparing an ambush. Preparing to strike the Byzantine Templars where they felt safest.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''What proof do you have of this?''
*'''Tarik:''' ''See here. This will lead you to the Byzantines in Cappadocia. Destroy them if you can.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You have done well, Tarik. Forgive me.''
*'''Tarik:''' ''Protect my homeland, Assassin.'' Allah ashkina ''(In God's name), redeem the honor we have lost in this fight.''
*'''Janissary:''' ''Murderer! Kill him!''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I am getting tired of this uniform.''

==Outcome==
Ezio kills Tarik, but finds out he was an innocent man who tried to track the Byzantines himself, though through different means.

==Trivia==
*To gain full [[Synchronization]], Ezio must perform an air assassination on Tarik.
*Janissaries which stationed inside the camp shown as red dots on the mini-map, which should be yellow like another Ottoman guards.<br />Red dots usually indicate the Byzantine guards.
