'''Leandros''' (unknown - 1511) was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], and the captain of a small [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] garrison stationed in [[Masyaf]].

==Biography==
===Search at Masyaf===
Since at least 1510, Leandros' Byzantine forces had ruled the [[Syria]]n city of Masyaf, the former seat of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], after coming across [[Niccolò Polo]]'s journal, "[[The Secret Crusade]]." From it, they learned of [[Mentor]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s [[Altaïr's library|hidden library]], and its [[Masyaf Keys|keys]].

A year of searching the fortress finally led them to its entrance, but even after three months of attempted excavation to open the door, Leandros and his men were ultimately unsuccessful.

In 1511, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] also journeyed to the city in search of the library, but was unaware of the Templar army that occupied it. Leandros' soldiers attacked him in great force, though Leandros himself only watched the battle from above. Despite suffering many losses, they eventually managed to capture the Assassin.

Leandros' forces later led the Assassin up to the castle's watchtower to be executed by hanging, and Leandros personally tied the noose around Ezio's neck. However, as soon as he did, Ezio lunged back at him and managed to wind the rope around his would-be executioner's neck.

[[File:A Journal 8.png|thumb|250px|left|Leandros giving orders to his men.]]
Ezio then leapt off the plank, tightening the noose around Leandros' throat, and forcing the soldiers to cut him free. As he recovered from the attempted strangulation, Leandros angrily ordered his men to pursue Ezio, who had escaped along the exterior of the tower.

Shortly after, Leandros left Masyaf by carriage, though Ezio soon caught up and lunged at his carriage, holding onto a tailing rope tied to the wagon. After several attempts to shake the Assassin off, Leandros finally gave up, jumping onto the carriage of one of his soldiers, and throwing the unfortunate driver from the seat.

[[File:The Wounded Eagle 1.png|thumb|250px|right|Leandros fleeing by carriage.]]
Ezio took control of Leandros' previous carriage and continued the pursuit, and eventually, as they jostled for position on a narrow mountain path, Leandros managed to outmaneuver Ezio and slip past him.

A guard then tossed a [[Bombs|bomb]] under Ezio's carriage, throwing both it and him over the cliff edge. Just as Leandros commanded his men to guard the path from any intruders, the heavily wounded Ezio managed to climb up the cliff and face the soldiers again.

Seeing that the Assassin was injured, Leandros ordered his men to bring him his head, before heading into the village.

===Death===
{{Dialogue|Leandros|What does it take to kill you, eh? Why will you not die?|Ezio|Don't you ever stop howling?|Leandros to Ezio before his death.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}

Unbeknownst to Leandros, Ezio bested his men and silently pursued him through the village, using his [[Eagle Vision#Eagle Sense|Eagle Sense]] to follow Leandros' trail. Eventually, Leandros headed into a fortress, at which point Ezio revealed himself.

[[File:The Wounded Eagle 12.png|thumb|250px|left|Leandros' demise.]]
After taunting Ezio, Leandros boasted that there was nowhere for Ezio to run. Ezio simply replied ''"Not for me, and not for you!"'' before severing the chain holding the portcullis open, and blocking Leandros' reinforcements.

Leandros fled up a tower, with Ezio in close pursuit. Once they both reached the top, Leandros asked Ezio what it would take to kill him, to which Ezio asked if Leandros ever stopped howling, before stabbing him with his [[hidden blade]]. (Trivia: Even though Ezio's secondary Hidden Blade was broken when he got it, he is still able to use it to kill Leandros.)

As Leandros lay dying, he revealed that his fellow Templars were already closing in on the Masyaf Keys, with which they could find the location of the [[Grand Temple]]. As Leandros breathed his last, Ezio retrieved the journal of Niccolò Polo from his body.

[[File:The Wounded Eagle 3.png|thumb|250px|right|Leandros speaking to his men.]]
Leandros was an able fighter, though he preferred using his soldiers to defeat his enemies. He also had a significant violent streak, threatening his workers with death should they try to leave.

He also held little respect for the lives of his men, throwing one from a moving carriage in order to save himself, and furiously telling a group to either follow his orders, or throw themselves off a cliff.

In physical appearance, Leandros was strongly built, though he had noticeable scars across his face, leading to one of his workers referring to him as "that ugly captain."

==Final words==

* '''Leandros:''' ''Well, the old hound still has a bite.''
* '''Ezio:''' ''The book you carry. Where is it?''
* '''Leandros:''' ''Ah. Niccolò Polo's journal? This will do no good, not now. We have found one of the Masyaf keys already, and are closing in on the rest.''
* '''Ezio:''' ''What is in that library is not for you. Not the Templars.''
* '''Leandros:''' ''Ah, you can have Altaïr's books, Ezio. We only want guidance. We only want directions... to the location of the Grand Temple.''
* '''Ezio:''' ''Grand Temple? Tell me more. Now!''
Leandros dies.
* '''Ezio:''' Requiescat in pace, bastardo. ''(Rest in peace, bastard.)''

Temple of Pythagoras

The '''Temple of Pythagoras''' was an ancient temple located beneath [[Rome]], built by the Pythagoreans, the followers of [[Pythagoras]].

==History==
During his time at the [[Villa Auditore]], [[Leonardo da Vinci]] researched about the Temple of Pythagoras. As his research advanced, he decided to draw a map to its entrance, and used invisible ink to sketch the pieces of the map onto his paintings on the villa's walls. However, when the city was [[Fall of Monteriggioni|attacked]], the paintings fell into the hands of the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] family.

As Leonardo continued his research until 1506 in [[Rome]], he eventually came into contact with the [[Cult of Hermes]]. He frequently visited the personal library of the Cult's leader, [[Ercole Massimo]], in order to acquire even more information on the subject. Eventually, he was kidnapped by the Hermeticists, who desired the location of the temple, and the "Pythagorean Unifier" that was said to be hidden within it.

The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] managed to gather the paintings and, with the help of Leonardo's assistant [[Salaì]], discovered the temple's location. Upon rescuing Leonardo from the cultists, the two ventured deeper to explore the Temple of Pythagoras together, until they eventually stumbled upon the final chamber, a [[Pythagorean Vault|vault]] with a [[Vault pedestal|strange device]] in its center. When Ezio placed his hand on it, his DNA communed with the pedestal, revealing the coordinates: 43 39 19N 75 27 42W. Ultimately, however, he decided that it would be best to leave it and do nothing, saying that the message was not meant for them.

==Trivia==
*The aforementioned coordinates reveal a [http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/BlackWolfUK77/flickr.jpg reservoir], which is connected to Black River near the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turin_(village),_New_York#Geography village of Turin], in proximity to [[Wikipedia:Whetstone Gulf State Park|Whetstone Gulf State Park]] in New York - This location is roughly in the same area as one shown when Ezio uses his Eagle Vision after the [[Codex]] Pages are put together [http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/ineedmyinsides/TempleMap.jpg [1]].
*Connecting the above coordinates with [[Wikipedia:Rome, New York|Rome, New York]] to the South and [[Wikipedia:Florence, New York|Florence, New York]] to the West while measuring the approximate distances with Bing maps results in an [http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l156/tuckerdwz2025/acbtrianglenotations.jpg almost perfect Pythagorean triangle].
*The place where the coordinates lead are near another place to the west called [[Mohawk]] Hill. Whether this is a reference to the upcoming game or not is unknown.

{{era|ac2|acb|bbook}}
{{quote|It is a most effective form of arsenic and difficult to trace.|[[Silvio Barbarigo]] speaking of the poison for [[Giovanni Mocenigo]]'s assassination.|Assassin's Creed II}}

'''Cantarella''' was a [[poison]], which was a variation of arsenic<ref name="wikipedia">Wikipedia article on [[Wikipedia:Cantarella|cantarella]]</ref> often used by the [[House of Borgia|Borgia family]] and other [[Templars]] who wished to rid themselves of unwanted people or enemies.

[[Rodrigo Borgia|Pope Alexander VI]] and his daughter, [[Lucrezia Borgia]], in particular used it for political assassinations.

==Victims==
Doge [[Giovanni Mocenigo]], who was poisoned using cantarella by [[Carlo Grimaldi]] after the former refused to ally himself with the Templars.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

[[Pietro Rossi]] was poisoned by [[Micheletto Corella]] during the events of the [[Colosseum Passion Play]] on the orders of [[Cesare Borgia]] because he was jealous of Pietro's relationship with Lucrezia. Micheletto concealed cantarella in his wine; though Pietro was eventually saved by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], who quickly brought him to a [[Doctors|doctor]].<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Rodrigo Borgia attempted to poison his own son, Cesare Borgia, with cantarella concealed within an apple after Cesare abused his position as Captain General of the [[Papacy|Papal]] army. Cesare did not consume a lethal amount of the poison, but it did render him ill for months after.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

After Rodrigo Borgia attempted to poison his son, Cesare force-fed him the same cantarella-filled apple, resulting in his death.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

==Trivia==
*It is interesting to note that in reality, cantarella was used to make whoever took it fall asleep for four hours. In this time, the person appeared to be dead, as they had no detectable pulse. Presumably, a higher, more concentrated dose would prove fatal.{{Fact}}
*When infiltrating the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]] for the second time, Lucrezia can be heard asking a [[Guards|guard]] for the cantarella she ordered the previous night.<ref name="Brotherhood" />
*''Cantarella ''is also the name of a real-life manga story about the life of [[Cesare Borgia]].

[[File:Chase-Breaker.jpg|thumb|300px|A [[Courtesan]] running through a trap door.]]
'''Chase-breakers''' are tools featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', which players can activate to delay their pursuers, and give themselves more time to escape. These items are indicated with an [[Animus]] visual effect to help distinguish them better from the surrounding environment. Trap doors and [[Merchandise Lifts|merchandise lifts]] take 3-5 seconds before they are usable again.
{{-}}
==Types of Chase-Breakers==
[[File:Lift_and_Trap_Door.jpg|thumb|A merchandise lift next to a trap door.]]

===Lifts===
{{Main|Lifts}}
The lifts in the program functioned in the same manner, however, the weight would not break upon being dropped, and would instead slowly rise back into position. The lift would become available to others in roughly 3-5 seconds.

===Trap doors/Portcullises===
{{Main|Trap doors}}
Trap doors consist of one or more sets of gates that close once a player runs through them, effectively stopping any other player or enemy from following. After a few seconds, however, they reopen, allowing other players to run through them.

===Crumbling beams/platforms===
{{Main|Crumbling beams}}
When a player free-runs over these Chase-Breakers, they will disintegrate, allowing the player to gain an advantage over his or her pursuer. However, if they do not leave the beam quick enough, it may crumble from underneath them.

===Corner-mounted flowerpots===
These flowerpots disappear for a few seconds after a player swings on them to turn a corner.

===Chandeliers===
{{Main|Chandeliers}}
Chandeliers are only featured in the map Castel Gandolfo. Chandeliers work like dropping planks of wood in other maps by dropping to the ground when run over by the player.

==Trivia==
*Though only usable by the player in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', some chase breakers have been around since ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
*Chase-breakers return in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''. In this game's campaign, however, there is another Chase-Breaker, which are soldiers of the opposing faction (Byzantines or Ottomans)

'''Luigi Torcelli''' was a high-ranking [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] [[Guards|guard]] in [[Rome]] in 1503.

==Biography==
On the 1st of August 1503, Luigi and some of his men assembled at the [[Pantheon]], in order to collect the debt payment from [[Egidio Troche]], and deliver it to [[Juan Borgia the Elder|the Banker]].

While Luigi took the money chest from Egidio and carried it into the Pantheon to count its contents, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] infiltrated the Pantheon through the oculus on its roof.

As Luigi finished his count, he decided to give the order to have Egidio killed; however, Ezio assassinated Luigi from above before he could alert his men. Ezio stripped him of his guard uniform, and wore it in order to impersonate Luigi, and enter the [[Incident at the Pagan Party|pagan party]] at Trastevere.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Luigi appears as a strong and high-ranking Borgia guard. In the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|novelization]] however, he is described as a withered man, and the Banker's agent, a position Egidio described as a "desk job."
*He and [[Mario Auditore|Mario]] pay homage to the Mario Bros..

Almogavar

187.61.141.61: /* Trivia */

{{Era|ACR}}
{{WP-REAL}}
{{Stub}}
[[File:Guard-almogavar-ACR.png|right|200px]]
The '''Almogavars''' were fairly uncommon [[guards]] that appeared in [[Constantinople]] and [[Cappadocia]] during the [[Renaissance]]. Roughly comparable to the [[Brutes]] from [[Rome]], they fought with [[heavy weapons]], were rather slow compared to other enemies, wore thick armor, and could not [[freerunning|freerun]]. Like the [[Varangians]], the Almogavars were employed by the [[Byzantines]]. They are featured in several missions, and were scattered all over the underground city of [[Cappadocia]].

==Trivia==

*The Almogavars were historically soldiers of Aragonese and Catalan origin. They were known to have worked as mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire.
*The Almogavars, like the [[Janissaries]] – except in some missions – are always found carrying the same weapon: the [[Almogavar Axe]].
*The Almogavar Axe can also be used as a weapon, after completing [[The Champion, Part 1]] memory, or taking the axe from a dead Almogavar.
*It is peculiar that Almogavars use heavy weapons in-game, as they used lances and spears historically, a fighting style which is more similar to that of the Seekers than the Brutes. This also happens for the [[Varangians]] who are compared to Seekers, but are more akin to [[Brutes]].
*Most Templar Den Captains look and fight like Almogavars. Exceptions include the Bayezid North captain, who appears the same as a Byzantine Militia, and the Imperial South captains, both of whom look like Byzantine gunmen.
*Unlike [[Brutes]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Almogavars can be killed with a counter if their attack is not the overhead smash while using a [[swords and maces|medium weapon]] or [[short blade]].
*Almogavars seem to have a unique weakness to [[Datura Bombs]], as evidenced from both in the memory "[[Piri Reis: Datura]]" and usual gameplay; the poison kills them about twice as fast.

Dagger of Brutus

{{Quote|I am not a violent man, but I ready my family's heirloom dagger. I pull my toga up into a cowl and leave for the celebration.|Brutus about to assassinate [[Gaius Julius Caesar|Caesar]].|Scrolls of Romulus}}
The '''Dagger of Brutus''' was a [[weapons|weapon]] available in [[Rome]], obtained along with the [[Armor of Brutus|personal armor]] of [[Marcus Junius Brutus]].

==Use==
It was heavily implied in the [[Scrolls of Romulus|Romulus Scrolls]] that the dagger was the same weapon Brutus used to kill [[Gaius Julius Caesar]]. The weapon was unlocked and made usable by collecting all the Keys of Romulus from the different [[Lairs of Romulus]], and was found in the same underground chamber as the Armor of Brutus. It was the best [[short blade]] weapon available to the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] during the 16th century.

*The Dagger of Brutus is modeled after a Roman [[Wikipedia:Pugio|Pugio]], a type of dagger used as a secondary weapon by [[File:Dagger_of_Brutus_sketch.jpg|thumb|Dagger of Brutus sketch.]]Roman soldiers during the 1st Century AD.
*When Ezio wields the Dagger of Brutus, enemy [[morale]] is reduced by 20 points – low rank guards and [[crossbowmen]] will run away after the death of only one regular guard.
*The dagger's kill animations are unique, and differ from those of other short blade weapons that Ezio can wield. They are more intense and much more brute, and as such certain guards that watch an execution with it will flee.

Doctor

'''Doctors''' were health care providers who practiced in the profession of medicine. Found on the streets of every European city and wearing black robes, they often wore a mask with a beak-like shape. The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore]] could purchase medicine vials from doctors for a fee during the [[Renaissance]] period.

==Appearance and background==
The clothes of the doctors were as usual for those in their profession, particularly after the occurrence of the [[Wikipedia:Black Death|Black Death]], one of the deadliest pandemics in human history. This plague peaked in Europe during the 14th century, and is said to have killed 30% to 60% percent of Europe's population. Subsequent to it, the world's population dropped from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400.

To protect themselves from this pandemic, the doctors dressed in a long black cloak covered with a coating of wax, and a very primitive beak-shaped plague mask, although not all doctors wear the mask. Within this ''Medico Della Peste'' mask, there were usually flower petals or burning herbs to rid of bad smells since it was believed that the virus was transmitted though "bad air". This mask was occasionally worn during [[Venice|Venice's]] [[Carnevale]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

The specific mask that doctors wore during the [[Renaissance]] period is called the ''Maschera Dello Speziale'' (where ''speziale'' refers someone who sells every kind of medicinal herb). The "beak" of the mask was often filled with various spices and herbs, as many doctors thought that this was a viable method to avoid infection by various diseases. The eyes of the mask were also made out of glass, as it was believed that sicknesses could be caught by face-to-face contact with patients, or by touching infected objects.

==Services==
[[File:AC2 Doctor.jpg|right|thumb|250px|A Renaissance-era doctor]]

===Healing===
Doctors would replenish all health after being paid a sum of 50 florins. The Doctor in [[Monteriggioni]] decreased the prices of his healing services after renovations of his store.

===Medicine===
Doctors also sold Medicine (for 75ƒ each), a healing item that could be carried portable pouches. These were identified as smelling salts, and were used as painkillers. The number of Medicine vials Ezio could carry at one time increased when a larger Medicine Pouch was purchased from a [[Tailor]] shop.

===Poison===
{{quote|In high enough doses, that which cures can kill.|[[Leonardo da Vinci]] on poison.|Assassin's Creed II}}Doctors sold Poison vials for a sum of 175ƒ. The use of poison became available only after Leonardo upgraded Ezio's [[Hidden Blade]] with the [[Poison Blade]]. Poison was useful for discreet assassinations and for the creation of distractions, as it briefly caused victims to go berserk, flailing their weapons around and drawing the attention of nearby [[guards]].

==Trivia==
*The doctors in the games are based on real-life plague doctors, who only aimed to cure the bubonic plague.
*Ezio cannot harm doctors, but the first doctor encountered in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' (with [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]]), is the only one that can be attacked and killed (only with blades). Doing so does not alert guards, and does not cause or alert you of [[Synchronization|desynchronization]]. Also, when killed, the doctor rises again. A video of this "bug" can be found at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gGyo747xeg this link].
*When you engage in a fight with guards in the presence of a doctor, he will often kneel before Ezio and beg not to kill him.
*On occasion, [[blacksmiths]] will also be able to restore some health when they repair damaged armor.
*In the novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]'', the doctor that Federico introduces to Ezio is their family doctor, Dottore Ceresa. Also, instead of having a small stand like other doctors in ''Assassin's Creed II'', he operates in an actual store.
*The doctor located in [[Monteriggioni]] is the only one to own a store in ''Assassin's Creed II''.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', players can complete the [[Shop Quests|Doctor's quest]] to upgrade poison sold by doctors to Fast Poison, so that Ezio's victims will become berserk immediately upon infection.<ref name="brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
*In ''Brotherhood'', Doctors may occasionally say the German phrase "Auf Wiedersehen" (Meaning "Goodbye")and then exclaim, "That's French!" after exiting the purchase screen.
