'''Checco Orsi''' (1458 - 1488) was a member of the [[House of Orsi|Orsi]] family of [[Forlì]], and brother to [[Ludovico Orsi|Ludovico]]. Bored with their life in the countryside, the two started a loan-sharking business, and murdered any who failed to pay their debts.

==Biography==
===Working for Caterina===
The brothers were hired by [[Caterina Sforza]] to kill her own husband, [[Girolamo Riario]], after she found out that he was a [[Templars|Templar]]. Riario, who was already in debt to the Orsi brothers, was killed by them during a meal.
===Battle of Forlì and Death===

Later on, [[Rodrigo Borgia]] hired them to kill Caterina and obtain the map Riario had made of the [[Codex]] pages. The Orsi agreed, and [[Battle of Forlì|laid siege]] to the city of Forlì. In the process, they captured two of Caterina's children, [[Bianca Riario|Bianca]] and [[Ottaviano Riario|Ottaviano]], and found out that [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], who was in possession of the [[Ezio's Apple|Apple of Eden]], was involved as well.

Using the two as a distraction for Ezio, Checco attacked the [[Rocca di Ravaldino]] (the ward in which Caterina was holding the Apple) after the Assassin had left to rescue the children. Caterina and [[Niccolò Machiavelli]]'s resistance was not enough to protect the [[Piece of Eden]], and Checco claimed it for himself.

Ezio chased after Checco as he fled to deliver the Apple to Rodrigo Borgia, and managed to intercept and assassinate him. However, with his dying breath, Checco stabbed Ezio in the right side of the stomach.

==Final words==
'''Checco''': ''So... you have your prize again.''

(Ezio retrieves the Piece of Eden.)

'''Ezio''': ''Was it worth it? So much bloodshed?''

'''Checco''': ''A prize of such value, it will not remain yours for long.''

'''Ezio''': ''We shall see.''

(Ezio stabs Checco through the throat with the [[Hidden Blade]], killing him.)

'''Ezio''': Che miserie nascono dall'avidità. ''(What wretched things are born of greed.)'' Requiescat in pace. ''(Rest in peace.)''

==Trivia==
*Checco is one of only three assassination targets in the ''Assassin's Creed'' series to be stabbed with the Hidden Blade while in the [[Animus]] scene; the other targets being [[Majd Addin]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed]] ''and [[Shahkulu]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]].''
*The mission in which you assassinate Checco Orsi is named "[[Checcomate]]," a reference to the popular board game Chess. "Checkmate" is a phrase you may say when you are at the point of killing or taking the other player's King, and thus winning the game.
*When pursuing Checco, he will always run faster than Ezio, thus must be chased down on [[Horses|horseback]], shot with the [[Hidden Gun]], or assassinated before Ezio is detected.
*Checco Orsi shares [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] and [[Cesare Borgia]]'s voice actor, [[Andreas Apergis]].
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]'', a horse and carriage chase ensues between Checco and Ezio, while in game, Checco runs away from Ezio on foot.

'''Richard I of England''' (1157 - 1199), commonly known as '''Richard the Lionheart''', was the King of [[England]] from 1189 until his death in 1199. He was also the commander of the [[Crusaders|Crusader]] army during the [[Third Crusade]], and was considered a great military leader and warrior.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Born as the third of five brothers, Richard was not expected to be King, and so he was raised in northern [[France]] instead, which belonged to the King of England at the time. As a result, Richard spoke very little English.<ref name="wikipedia">{{Wiki|Richard I of England|Richard the Lionheart}} on ''Wikipedia''</ref>

When his two elder brothers died without children of their own, Richard was the next in line and became heir apparent. Even before he became King, Richard had earned the nickname "Lionheart" for his ferocity and utter fearlessness in battle.<ref name="wikipedia"/>

===Third Crusade===
Richard landed in [[Acre]] on 8 June 1191, quickly forcing the city to surrender to the Crusaders.<ref name="wikipedia"/> Later that year, Richard departed Acre with his army to move south, and left [[William of Montferrat]] as Regent Lord of Acre, unaware that William was secretly a member of the [[Templars|Templar]] conspiracy who intended to betray him.

Fortunately for the oblivious Richard, William was killed by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] soon after Richard had left Acre.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Under Richard, the Crusaders eventually reached [[Arsuf]], where they engaged [[Saladin]]'s army. Here they were approached by Altaïr, the Assassin responsible for killing not only William of Montferrat, but also the leaders of the [[Knights Hospitalier]], [[Garnier de Naplouse]], and of the [[Knights Teutonic]], [[Sibrand]].<ref name="AC"/>

[[File:Richard_arsuf.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Richard hears Altaïr at Arsuf.]]
Altaïr then claimed that [[Robert de Sable]], [[Grand Master]] of the Knights Templar and one of the generals working alongside Richard, intended to betray the king. However, Robert insisted that Altaïr's story was merely a ruse to keep Richard from interfering in the Assassin's mission.<ref name="AC"/>

Unsure on who to believe, Richard left the decision in the hands of God, declaring that Robert and his Templars were to fight Altaïr in a trial by combat. Altaïr proved the victor, and so Richard accepted the Assassin's version of events.<ref name="AC"/>

Richard and Altaïr then discussed the philosophies of war and peace, in which Richard admitted that he was not yet ready for peace with Saladin. As Altaïr left, saying that he needed to confront the faults of his Master, Richard reminded him that [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan|Al Mualim]] was merely human, just as he was.<ref name="AC"/>

==Characteristics and personality==
[[File:Richard.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Richard arguing with William.]]
'''Altaïr: '''''"God was not involved in this. I was the best fighter!"''

'''Richard: '''''"Ah.... you may not believe on him, but it seems he believed in you."''

―Altaïr and Richard after the former assassinated Robert de Sablé.

Richard was a man strong in faith, and relied upon God for crucial decisions. He did, however, seem tolerant towards non-believers, as Altaïr denying the help of God in his victory against Robert did not trouble him.<ref name="AC"/>

Richard believed that mankind could never change. In his mind, the only way for him to bring peace was for his men to crush their enemies, being Saladin and the [[Saracens]].<ref name="AC"/>

==Trivia==
*When observing King Richard through [[Eagle Vision]], he appeared to be red, which implied that he was an enemy despite appearing to be friendly or at least neutral towards Altaïr.
*Richard could be attacked, but he would not die whenever such an attack was initiated. In order for Altaïr to do this, one soldier must be thrown towards Richard, and upon standing up, the soldier would try to attack Altaïr from inside the [[Animus]]' barrier, but would hit Richard instead. This would force him outside of the barrier, and from there, Altaïr could attack him but not kill him.
*In the Animus 1.28, Richard was portrayed with a French accent, which was likely attributed to him being raised in France.

== Relation to Desmond ==
Does Anyone know how he is related to desmond (mother or Father) [[User:JB12398|JB12398]] 02:36, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think anyone knows yet. [[User:IlMualim|IlMualim]] 06:37, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait. Well he's related to Desmond Ancestor-wise! TA-DA!!!

--Kenway 20:04, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

== Rename to Ratohnhaké:ton? ==

I suggest renaming to full name, which is '''Ratohnhaké:ton '''and make Connor dedirect here. However, I suppose colon may be unacceptable in article names, but I don't know. [[User:Xeoxer|Xeoxer]] 11:28, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
:I agree, his real name should be the name of the page with Connor as redirect. [[User:XV DEaD ShOT xV|XV DEaD ShOT xV]] 23:34, March 3, 2012 (UTC)

:::

::Can we see the source for the last name "Kenway"? Just curious.
::never mind found it.

:::How is his last name Kenway

:::His preferred name is Connor, considering it states that that is what he and others call himself. But I agree, we should probably wait for more information. If we put Ratohnhaké:ton, it could confuse new people on whether he's Connor or Ratohnhaké:ton. [[User:Hjgduyhwsgah1|Hjgduyhwsgah1]] 08:42, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

:::Even if he prefers '''Connor''', we should still rename to '''Ratohnhaké:ton'''. For example, Al Mualim is much more recognisable by this, and we still renamed to Rashid ad-din Sinan. Moreover, it was confirmed in trailer that Ratohnhaké:ton is his birth name. [[User:Xeoxer|Xeoxer]] 09:32, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

::::The difference with that is that both Ratonhnhaké:ton and Connor Kenway are names, while Al Mualim is a title, not a name (Arabic for "The Mentor"). -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 09:33, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

:::::Plus, for the ease of use for people on the wiki, it should be kept as Connor. You have to agree that it's easier to type into the search bar than Ratohnhaké:ton. [[User:-S-|Kainzorus Prime]] [[User talk:-S-|Walkie-talkie]] 12:59, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

:::::We should put his name as Ratonhnhake:ton "Connor" Kenway. Then if anybody searches Connor Kenway we redirect it to the page. Technically Connor is more of a nickname than anything else. I have to agree with Xeoxer on this... Try it out, see if it works!

:::::we can do this: Connor Kenway aka Ratohnhaké:ton or Ratohnhaké:ton aka Connor Kenway. [[User:ACsenior|ACsenior]] 07:44, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

:::::"Connor Kenway" makes more sense. [[User:The Leaping Eagle|The Leaping Eagle]] 08:46, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

::::::His name is ''NOT'' Ratonhnhaké:ton Kenway. His full birth name is Ratonhnhaké:ton, and the western name he took up in later life is Connor Kenway. Connor Kenway is more easily recognizable, easier to type in the search bar, and also allows for better categorization. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 09:14, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

::::::Connor Kenway is an alias rather than a nickname, and there is a reason he chose to use it over his birthname, its a lot easier for westerners to write, pronounce and memorise. I feel that this applies equally to the wiki. [[User:Aegritudo|Aegritudo]] 17:30, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

== what is the meaning of Ratohnhaké:ton? ==

what is the meaning of Ratohnhaké:ton?

'''Meaning of name'''

Ratohnhake:ton translates from mohawk (loosely) into "He hunts them" or "He hunts it", sometimes it's good to know native languages! [[User:Algonquin Native|Algonquin Native]] 04:23, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

so nothing to do with eagles or birds then, thats a change.[[Special:Contributions/78.144.179.253|78.144.179.253]] 22:09, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

I still have a feeling that he'll receive a different name or something that will be involved with eagles or birds. [[User:JumpInTheFire13|JumpInTheFire13]] 03:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Going from the translations from Mohawk, it's likely his name means "He who hunts."

Considering the new change to the mechanics of the series, I think it's pretty apt. [[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] 03:58, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

also connor is irish for wolf kin, so both his names have some predatory acspect to them [[User:Algonquin Native|Algonquin Native]] 00:25, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Connor also means "Lover of wolves" just so u know

--Kenway 19:49, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

==Voice Casting==
Messing around on Wikipedia, on their Assassin's Creed 3 page, it has a thing about casting, Bill Rogers playing Connor appearently. I just wanted to know if this should be on the page or not? [[User:Muthaphukkin Jake|Muthaphukkin Jake]] 05:41, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think so because Wikipedia and even IMDb has proven in the past to be an unreliable source. I have looked at the actors website and nowhere on it does it say anything about AC3. We will probably know more in the coming days though. -- ► '''''[[User:Kaloneous|Kaloneous]]''''' ◄[[User talk:Kaloneous| ♣HelpDesk♣]] 05:48, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to reserect this conversation, but this video should set things: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=L53Ud1rvoBg Bill Rogers in Assassin's Creed 3?] - [[Special:Contributions/24.36.109.251|24.36.109.251]] 19:30, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

== Equipment ==

Since I'm not authorized to edit I'm putting this here. I think there should be info about his weapons and robes on the article, like the [[tomahawk]], the [[bow]], the guns, maybe his Native American-looking necklace (Maybe it is a gift from his mother or something, but since we don't know anything, it probably shouldn't be in the article yet.), and I think that the "secondary" color of his robes is blue, unlike red in previous games. [[User:BRX|BRX]] 19:24, March 8, 2012 (UTC)BRX

I just realized that Ratohnkake:ton has not one but TWO pistols. '''Correct me if I am wrong'''. <gallery captionalign="left">

Could this mean the possibility of dual weilding TWO pistol, Texas sharp shooter style?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Weird but very appealling.

'''@Arabian411269'''

Where did my images go?! ([[User:Arabian411269|Arabian411269]] 17:14, March 9, 2012 (UTC))

They were most likely taken from the trailer? In that case: images from the trailer will be deleted on sight, because they will be redundant when the game comes out, causing the admins a lot of catching-up on their deletion. They would then have to seek all the trailer images out, etc. Hoep this helps. [[User:Amnestyyy|'''Nesty''']] [[User_Talk:Amnestyyy|Contact me!]] 17:17, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, well at least holla.

Not to sound disrespectful but isn't this a talk page? There should be more freedom here than on the official articles, plus the game doesn't come out till like seven months from now. Again, no disrespect. ([[User:Arabian411269|Arabian411269]] 17:23, March 9, 2012 (UTC))

It's not about the page. The images you upload are on the wiki, from where they need to be deleted. We can't allow them to be uploaded to only talk-pages, for it would result in the same problem. They were on the wiki, thus they were deleted. [[User:Amnestyyy|'''Nesty''']] [[User_Talk:Amnestyyy|Contact me!]] 07:04, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

connor can duel wield his pistols with other weapons such as his tomahawk,but he can't just use both pistols.they're only one shots anyway.but he can use them both with another weapon,giving him two shots in a fight.[[User:Assassin of 81|Assassin of 81]] 22:31, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

== Image Gallery ==

I think Connor should had his own Image Gallery like Desmond, Altair, and Ezio's instead of the Gallery in the Connor Article. --[[User:Cococrash11|Cococrash11]] 05:52, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Connor has affliations with the Continental Army since he encounters George Washington and comes into good relations with him. No mention of any positive contact with the British Army has been established, so he doesn't need Loyalists on his affliations. [[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] 15:06, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, he needs it becuse the game is not Loyalists vs Patriots. And the Devs have sad that asvell.[[User:ACsenior|ACsenior]] 15:35, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Just because the game isn't one-sided, it doesn't mean Connor needs to be affliated with the Loyalists. [[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] 15:49, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

since the game is not one-sided connor is going to have some positive contact whit loyalists when he is hunting a patriotic templar even if we have pics or not. [[User:ACsenior|ACsenior]] 19:03, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

As Slate said, that can't be assumed (even if it's likely). Connor might just be neutral with the British army - not against them specifically, but not affiliated with them either. As soon as evidence of positive relations comes up, add it. =[[User:GuardDog|GuardDog]] 22:38, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

== Personality ==

Is conner the type of assassin that likes to mix around with people like Ezio or more like an expressionless killing machine who strikes without mercy, like Altair?

We'll come to know within a few months, patience man. Also sign your posts with 4 of these ~.[[User:IlMualim|IlMualim]] 07:31, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

I heard a leak that says he's more of a man of action, not as chatty as Ezio, but he has a heart, unlike Altair. He also fights for justice, not personal revenge, like both of them.

--Kenway 19:54, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

I think Ezio was more of a smooth person, business like.

== Artwork ==

I understand that Connor shouldn't have too many pictures since there will be new and better one but shouldn't it feature Connor's Backside Artwork? It is an artwork not like the other pictures about Connor's gameplay. --[[User:Cococrash11|Cococrash11]] 05:53, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

In the trivia part it say's his sash is shown as blue in the reveal trailer and in-game photos, 1. you can't see his sash in the reveal trailer and 2. the only two in-game screens showing his sash (the one were he's running with his tomahawk and the other one where he's tomahawking a red coat and shooting) clearly show that it's red, i find no evidence of it being blue, other then his jacket has blue in the interior , so can someone delete that from the trivia [[User:L'kimu|L'kimu]] 09:07, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

You can see his sash in the reveal trailer, when he walks up to the edge of the cliff. It's blue there and in most of the GI magazine images we have so far. But it is red in most of the concept art and also in the new trailer that showcases his weapons.

== Connor's New skills and equipment ==
"We have a lot of new stealth features which are a lot of fun. You can now take cover against walls, and Connor will automatically adjust to hide when a guard approaches, which also leads into a new assassination move from cover. We also added the ability for Connor to hide in tall grass or bushes: if you walk through these areas he will automatically crouch allowing you to move undetected when approaching enemies. And if you’re in a city and you see any group of people in the crowd performing an action like painting a house or cleaning, if you approach slowly Connor will begin mimicking their actionsto hide amongst them."

"Finally, of course the hidden blades are back and we’ve made some style changes so he can actually spin one of them in his hand and use it as a knife, but it’s the key to silent kills."

== Birth date ==

http://www.oxm.co.uk/40304/interviews/assassins-creed-3-the-most-rpg-like-assassins-creed-so-far/

this video clearly shows connor's birth date around 1:00 so i guess it should be added to his page. [[User:Georgesamo|Georgesamo]] 16:05, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

I think it's a mistake because in the Connor trailer pause at 0:10 it only shows the date he joined the Assassins not his birth date.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLCB7qViI3M&feature=g-vrec&context=G2340763RVAAAAAAAAAQ [[User:Assassin75ibn|Assassin75ibn]] 20:16, April 4, 2012 (UTC)Assassin75ibn

Umm, who added the birth date as 1755? The Game Informer information that we have clearly states that AC3 is set from 1753-1783. Unless you're trying to suggest the game begins before Connor is born, I don't think that's his birth year.

:I compared the two videos, and I think that Connor being born in 1755 is a possibility, because honestly, if the game is set from 1753-1783, and Connor only joins the Assassin Order in 1770, thats 17 years of time that Connor would be doing nothing particularly of note. That, and the fact it was aired during an interview with the Creative Director of the game, make it sound pretty plausible. As for how you can set the game in 1753-55, it could show his birth, similar to Ezio's? Also, Alex Hutchinson specifically stated that we would start playing as Connor when he's "really, really young."[[User:SpartanCrow|SpartanCrow]] 23:53, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

:As Sima mentioned to me before regarding Connor's birth date edit to his article, I think should wait until the hype dies down because Sima stated we are seeing two sources saying he was born in 1755 but that the game starts in 1753. The game can't simply start in 1753 but have Connor born two years later, I mean... what are we as players going to be doing for two whole sequences in Connor's time if that were the case?

His hood is bigger than his predecessors, and has an eagle design on it, so that's new... 8D

--Kenway 19:58, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Altair's hood circled his head like a scarf and was more more like a coif, suiting his time period. It was also much more concealing than Ezio's but at the same time would have allowed for less vision. Ezio's hoods throughout all his games alwas went under the outside of his collar/hank/scarf (whatever that thing in REV was). More air to breath, more side vision, but less concealing. Connor's hood has much more crown space (does it mean he'll be like Einstien? hmmm...). The also, like Ezio goes under the collar BUT seems to be made of a much softer, less rigid material. Connor's hood curves in on his face more than Ezio's did implying that its made of softer material. This is strange for two reasons, 1 Connor lives in a colder region than Ezio, 2 Connor covering his face is less likely to be considered suspicious than Ezio.

Actually, Ezio's robes in ACII are off white/slightly greyish because they are not Master Assassin robes. In AC:B he has new robes (look at the length of the robes and the cut) and they are Master Assassin robes. You can see in AC:B that apprentices or non-master assassins have slightly greyish robes.

== Personality and Characteristics ==

Hi, everyone, after seeing the gameplay demo of Connor in the Frontier it can be noted that Connor is very direct and aggressive. I can suuport this by quoting Connor and the Patriot. "Let the Pariots fight their own battles. I'm here for the Templar" -Connor Kenway

"To the point as always." Patriot. Should it be added? I mean Ubisoft even stated that Connor was more aggressive... [[User:SupremeAssassin|''Supreme Master Assassin'']][[User_talk:SupremeAssassin|IL Mentori]] 00:09, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Don't really see how that is remotely "aggressive". He didn't go all Technoviking on the guy. I can agree with the direct part though. As for Ubi saying he's more aggressive - probably meant combat style. --[[User:-S-|Kainzorus Prime]] [[User talk:-S-|Walkie-talkie]] 00:16, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

:I thought it was obvious enough [[User:SupremeAssassin|''Supreme Master Assassin'']][[User_talk:SupremeAssassin|IL Mentori]] 00:27, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

:His combat style might be more aggresive but it seems he is between Altair and Ezio personality-wise. He's as secretive and cold as Altair but seems to be abit more sociable with other like Ezio. Altair (according to AC1, the portable games made him a different person entirely) had NO outside contacts other than other assassins, his circles were very closed. Ezio was a man of the people. He had a guy for everything and evidently he was very famous for his actions outside of Italy. Connor seems to be in between as he knows ranks of Patriots and even George Washington personally.

Since I'm not authorized to edit I'm putting this here. I think there should be info about his weapons and robes on the article, like the [[tomahawk]], the [[bow]], the guns, maybe his Native American-looking necklace (Maybe it is a gift from his mother or something, but since we don't know anything, it probably shouldn't be in the article yet.), and I think that the "secondary" color of his robes is blue, unlike red in previous games.

You can see his sash in the reveal trailer, when he walks up to the edge of the cliff. It's blue there and in most of the GI magazine images we have so far. But it is red in most of the concept art and also in the new trailer that showcases his weapons. We'll have to wait for the game to know what color it actually is, or whether it can be dyed different colors, explaining the inconsistency.

== Connor's New skills and equipment ==
"We have a lot of new stealth features which are a lot of fun. You can now take cover against walls, and Connor will automatically adjust to hide when a guard approaches, which also leads into a new assassination move from cover. We also added the ability for Connor to hide in tall grass or bushes: if you walk through these areas he will automatically crouch allowing you to move undetected when approaching enemies. And if you’re in a city and you see any group of people in the crowd performing an action like painting a house or cleaning, if you approach slowly Connor will begin mimicking their actionsto hide amongst them."

"Finally, of course the hidden blades are back and we’ve made some style changes so he can actually spin one of them in his hand and use it as a knife, but it’s the key to silent kills."

Umm, who added the birth date as 1755? The Game Informer information that we have clearly states that AC3 is set from 1753-1783. Unless you're trying to suggest the game begins before Connor is born, I don't think that's his birth year.

That, and the fact it was aired during an interview with the Creative Director of the game, make it sound pretty plausible. As for how you can set the game in 1753-55, it could show his birth, similar to Ezio's? Also, Alex Hutchinson specifically stated that we would start playing as Connor when he's "really, really young."[[User:SpartanCrow|SpartanCrow]] 23:53, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

His hood is bigger than his predecessors, and has an eagle design on it, so that's new... 8D

--Kenway 19:58, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Altair's hood circled his head like a scarf and was more more like a coif, suiting his time period. It was also much more concealing than Ezio's but at the same time would have allowed for less vision. Ezio's hoods throughout all his games alwas went under the outside of his collar/hank/scarf (whatever that thing in REV was). More air to breath, more side vision, but less concealing. Connor's hood has much more crown space (does it mean he'll be like Einstien? hmmm...). The also, like Ezio goes under the collar BUT seems to be made of a much softer, less rigid material. Connor's hood curves in on his face more than Ezio's did implying that its made of softer material. This is strange for two reasons, 1 Connor lives in a colder region than Ezio, 2 Connor covering his face is less likely to be considered suspicious than Ezio.

Actually, Ezio's robes in ACII are off white/slightly greyish because they are not Master Assassin robes.

Thats cool that they have him as well, though it does seem a little far for him to travel, ny/ma where ac3 is set to new orleans,la where liberation plays out. [[User:Aegritudo|Aegritudo]] 13:28, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

More like ''her'' to travel. Remember, Aveline was born many years before Connor. Most likely we'll see a very young Connor. ~ [[User:Gabriel Auditore|GI Auditore]] [[w:c:assassinscreed:User talk:Gabriel Auditore|Talk to me maybe?]] 09:06, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

== Hair ==

Should we put in that he has his hair tied back, similar to Ezio's when he was younger? Because in the naval combat gameplay video, you can clearly see that his hair is tied back under the tricorn he's wearing. [[User:CryptoKiller|CryptoKiller]] 04:48, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

:I don't see the point. Aquilus had his hair tied back, and Ezio always had his hair tied back, it's not out of the ordinary. When the game comes out we will have pictures of him without his hood regardless. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 16:45, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

::Actually, Ezio untied his hair in Revelations I think. [[User:IlMualim|'''IlMualim''']] [[User Talk:IlMualim|Wanna Chat?]] 18:03, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

::Ezio cut his hair in Revelations, this is best seen in cutscenes where his hood is down, or the minstrel missions. He had his hair cut to somewere around the mid section of the neck, it wasn't that short but it wasn't so long that it required to be tied back.[[User:Assassin75ibn|Assassin75ibn]] 19:29, July 11, 2012 (UTC)Assassin75ibn

== Image Crop ==

Wouldn't it be better to crop off the tomahawk from Connor's current profile image - kind of like [[Yusuf Tazim|Yusuf]]'s? Seems a waste of a good quality image if the Character Infobox shrinks it by default. =[[User:GuardDog|GuardDog]] 04:21, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

:Surely we will get more renders later on. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 07:35, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

== Without Hood ==

In the AnvilNext trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABPbLkMA4ek&feature=g-all-u

At 2:58 Connor has his hood down.

{{Unsigned|TheRealTerminal}}

dont forget to sign your posts.

yes, so? this is not new, it has been seen in other trailers released and is discussed further up in this page. {{User:Aegritudo/sig}} 21:18, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

Connor was first seen without the hood in the Seasons Trailer, which was released a long time ago. {{User:Gabriel Auditore/sig}} 03:00, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hoorah! I was anxiously waiting to see pictures of good ol' Connor without his hood. He looks great! [[User:Joe Keilso|Joe Keilso]] ([[User talk:Joe Keilso|talk]]) 03:52, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

== Unhooded Connor image ==
Two things, first [[:File:AC3_AnvilNext_Connor.png|this]] image dosent appear to be properly sourced and second arent we supposed to be avoiding images from trailers being on the articles as better images will be avaliable once the games released? {{User:Aegritudo/sig}} 15:28, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

== Birth? ==
What year was Connor Kenway born on ?
:Well, we don't know that yet...otherwise, rest assured it would have been on the page--[[User:Odranoelluta|Odranoelluta]][[User talk:Odranoelluta|Talk]]✲[[w::c:marvel-cinematic-universe|<choose><option>http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel-cinematic-universe/images/1/18/Sig.png</option></choose>]] 05:59, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

it was also discussed further up where some of the confusion is explained. {{User:Aegritudo/sig}} 09:57, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

==Ratonhnhake:ton pronounciation?==

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced ra-don-hun-ha-ge-dun. We should include that in is page.

Well, not really. I don't think it'd add much to the page, even for the trivia. Besides, in a couple of months, people will be able to hear how it's actually pronounced, so they'll memorize it from AC3. [[User:Slate Vesper|Slate Vesper]] ([[User talk:Slate Vesper|talk]]) 23:45, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

== Allegiances? ==

It is said on the article that Connor sides with [[Mohawks]], [[Assassins]] and the [[Continental Army]]; Since Ubisoft confirmed that he'll kill Templars on both sides, (And since he isn't a patriot at ALL) i was thinking if we should remove the Continental Army from the list.

Crusader

2012-09-21T02:02:42Z

187.61.147.231: /* Trivia */

{{Era|ACR}}
{{Youmay|the Animi Avatar|[[Crusaders]]}}
{{Quote|A powerful foe with arms like tree trunks and a sword the size of a mountain, the Crusader has come to convert by any means necessary. Adorned in plate-mail armor as impregnable as his convictions, he walks with utter pride and courage wherever he goes, secure in the belief that so long as he lives, others must die.|[[Ubisoft]] description.}}
[[File:Haras.png|175px|right]]
The '''Crusader''' (real name: '''[[Haras]]''') was an Animi Avatar used by [[Abstergo Industries]] to train the [[Abstergo recruits|recruits]] in the [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|second stage]] of their [[Animi Training Program]], unlocked by pre-ordering certain editions of ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' or after a [[The Lost Archive|system update]]. He wielded a claymore as his specialty weapon.

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

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

The Crusader casually walks up to his target and unsheathes his claymore. Before they can defend themself, he smacks the sword's hilt into their face, knocking them off balance. From there, he uses this to his advantage, by impaling his victim's stomach with his sword, killing them.

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

The Crusader quickly walks behind his target and draws his sword, before slashing his weapon across their spine, forcing them to their knees. He then follows through with his attack by wedging his claymore into the right of their abdomen, and freeing his blade by forcing his victim forwards with his foot.

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

The Crusader runs up to his target quickly and backhands them with his mailed arm, spinning them around. With their back facing him, the Crusader draws his sword and chops it down into their shoulder, before he pulls up on his claymore to free it, sheathing his weapon as his victim crumples to the floor.

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

The Crusader runs up behind his target and draws his longsword, before he proceeds to trip them up with the flat of his blade, forcing them onto their back. He then slashes down roughly into his victim's stomach with his claymore, and then leaves them to die of blood loss.

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

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

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

The Crusader leaps from above a rooftop and draws his sword in mid-air. Once he slams into his target, his armor's weight aids him as he plunges his sword into his victim's heart, killing them instantaneously.

==Taunts==
*''"Ha! Where did you learn to fight?"''
*''"Insolent beast!"''
*''"For the Cross!"''

==Customization==
The Crusader could be customized in several ways:

Colors:
*Color 1: White.
*Color 2: Red.
*Color 3: Black.

In-depth customization:
*Heads:
**Head 1: A flat-top iron helmet, where the visor and the crease down the front of it form into the [[Templars|Templar]] cross.
**Head 2: The helmet of a medieval knight, with a beaked shaped visor.
**Head 3: A [[Rome|Roman]] gladiator's helmet.

*Chests:
**Chest 1: A black cloth shirt with four small crosses weaved onto it, covering a chain-mail top.
**Chest 2: A multi-colored vest, with a cross displayed in a section on the top-left of the chest.
**Chest 3: A suit of reinforced armor with a fringed collar.

*Arms:
**Arms 1: Chain-mail arms and gloves, with a silver knuckle guard, cloth wrapped forearms that bore a metal plate with a cross, and feathered accessories.
**Arms 2: Plated gauntlets and cloth sleeves, with fringed shoulder guards and leather gloves.
**Arms 3: Leather upper armor and chain-mail sleeves, with black greaves and flattened shoulder guards, along with two black couters.

*Legs:
**Legs 1: Dark brown boots, with cloth leggings and dull metal shin guards.
**Legs 2: Steel toed chain-mail boots, with engraved greaves and cloth leggings.
**Legs 3: Light brown boots with loose chain-mail wraps.

*Belts:
**Belt 1: A frilled white belt with two white scabbard straps, a thin brown band with buckle, and an asymmetrical drape.
**Belt 2: A light grey band with a red leather belt, held together by a thick, silver ring.
**Belt 3: A dark brown band and buckle, with a large, green leather belt with small golden decorations.

*Accessories:
**Accessory 1: A simple curved shield on the left shoulder, to hold up the cape.
**Accessory 2: A darker shield with the Templar cross on it, riveted for increased durability.
**Accessory 3: An old, battered black and white shield, with bronzed lining.

==Trivia==
*The Crusader was the only known Animi Avatar to originate from the 12th century.
*The Crusader was also the only pre-order character to have customization.
**All items available for customizing the Crusader were included with him when unlocked, and as such, they did not need to be gained via progression in the Animi Training Program.
*The crest on his standard armor was the symbol of the Jerusalem cross.
*Though being a [[Templar]], his armor looked more like a [[Hospitalier]] outfit.

The '''Apples of Eden''' were [[Pieces of Eden]], a type of technology made by [[First Civilization]]. They featured throughout history as the cause of some divine and superhuman events, such as the {{Wiki|Trojan War}}, or [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] being cast out of [[Eden]].

==History==
{{quote|This... piece of silver cast out Adam and Eve. It turned staves into snakes. Parted and closed the Red Sea. [[Eris]] used it to start the Trojan War; and with it, [[Jesus Christ|a poor carpenter]] turned water into wine.|[[Rashid ad-Din Sinan]] about an Apple.|Assassin's Creed}}

Long before [[Humans|mankind]] existed, the First Civilization of technologically advanced beings inhabited Earth. They created humanity, and enslaved them by modifying their brains to be manipulatable by Pieces of Eden. For some time there was a forced peace, until Adam and Eve stole one of the Pieces, an Apple,<ref name="AC2 - Truth"/> and started the [[Human-First Civilization War]].<ref name="AC2"/>

As all were too occupied by the war to see the threat, a [[Toba catastrophe|major solar flare]] impacted the Earth, and significantly damaged both mankind and their makers. The people of First Civilization slowly became extinct, while mankind grew and populated the Earth, seeing their predecessors as myths and gods.<ref name="Brotherhood"/><ref name="AC2"/><ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Fourth Day">''Assassin's Creed II'' - Glyphs - Puzzle #19 "The Fourth Day"</ref>

The Pieces of Eden were not destroyed by the blast, and throughout time, humans started recovering them, also causing a split of sides based on different mindsets, [[Templars]] and [[Assassins]]. The Templars were out to restore peace in the way the First Civilization had once done, forced by the Pieces, unlike the Assassins, that fought for freedom and a flawed humanity, putting free will above order.<ref name="AC2"/>

[[File:AC-AltairMalikMap.png|200px|left|thumb|A holographic image made by an Apple during the Middle Ages.]]
Many decades went by as the fight continued between Templar and Assassin, both knowing the importance of the Pieces, especially the Apple, to reach their goal.<ref name="AC"/><ref name="AC2"/>

The Apples featured as the most well known Piece of Eden, being favored by [[Abstergo Industries]] in their plan of a [[New World Order]], being likely the most predictable Piece, as some other Pieces were known to be able to create time paradoxes.<ref name="AC2"/>

{{-}}
==Powers and capabilities==
{{Quote|Those subjected to [the Apple]'s glow are promised all that they desire. It asks only one thing in return: complete and total obedience. And who can truly refuse? It is temptation incarnate.|Altaïr's Codex, page 1.|Assassin's Creed II}}

Apples were designed to create illusions and to control human minds, they were used by many great rulers throughout history, proving the efficiency of the Apples' powers.<ref name="AC2"/>

The First Civilization added a small part to the human brain that made them susceptible to these powers, only those with mixed genes were mentally immune to the manipulation, but not physically.<ref name="AC"/><ref name="AC2"/> In modern times, humans themselves had already started research on the brain, comparing them to those of other animals, seeing that they were not like the other animals, but not knowing the reason for this.<ref name="AC2"/>

All the Apples could presumably be used in conjunction with the [[Staves of Eden|Staff of Eden]], though it is only certainly for one; Ezio's Apple. [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] used the two Pieces of Eden to open the [[Vatican Vault]], before taking the Apple, and losing the Staff that was pulled into the ground.<ref name="AC2"/>

[[File:Leo work 2.png|thumb|250px|right|Leonardo studying an Apple.]]
Apples also contained knowledge of many technologies used by the First Civilization. Like many other Pieces, they were able to communicate with people, showing them the products necessary to make the technology and transferring wisdom about the manufacturing of the shown devices.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

A good example of this was [[Leonardo da Vinci]], who studied one of the Apples and invented four [[War Machines|war machines]], and several other weapons with technology far beyond his own time.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

There were only six known Apples, one of which had been destroyed in an [[DIA satellite accident|Abstergo accident]].<ref name="AC2"/>

==Known Apples==
====Apple 1====
{{main|Apple of Eden 1}}
[[File:Glyph 3-2.jpg|150px|right]]

The first known human possessor of this Apple was [[Napoleon Bonaparte]],<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Napoleon Apple">''Assassin's Creed II'' - Glyphs - Puzzle #2 "Sixty-four Squares"</ref> who used the technology to power up his force in the French Revolution. With the power of this item, he became the leader of [[France]] with the name of Napoleon I, ruling in military and political sense. It is unknown how he came into the possession of this Piece of Eden, and when and how he lost it.

The second known human owner was [[Harry Houdini]],<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Descendants"/> a magician who used the First Apple to create his "impossible" stunts. He was assassinated by Templars, though his death was commonly known to have been caused by a ruptured appendix.

Later, the Apple was used in [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|the assassination]] of [[John F. Kennedy]],<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Hat Trick"/> as a means of producing a "Phantom on the Hill" effect, making the prosecution of [[Lee Harvey Oswald|Oswald]] more difficult, and disguising the intentions of the assassination. The current location of this Apple is unknown.

====Apple 2====
{{main|Apple of Eden 2}}

The first known human possessor of the Second Apple was [[Malik Al-Sayf]], who only owned it temporarily after retrieving it from [[Solomon's Temple]]. For some time after, it was [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan]] who kept it, later using it to control the people of [[Masyaf]]. However, the [[Mentor]] was overthrown himself by Altaïr, who took the Apple from him.<ref name="AC"/>

Altaïr then kept the Piece until his death in 1257, using it several times for either his own safety or for its knowledge.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

[[File:Glyph 3-3.jpg|150px|right]]
The next known possessor of this Piece was [[Elizabeth I of England]],<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Napoleon Apple"/> an important British monarch in the 16th century, who favored Protestants instead of Catholics, and thereby she reversed the Catholic influences of her predecessor, [[Mary I of England|Mary I]].

It eventually passed into the hands of [[Mahatma Gandhi]],<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Descendants"/> who most likely used it to acquire a large religious mass of followers in India. However, the [[Templars]] became aware of Gandhi's possession of the Apple and murdered him, themselves taking the Piece of Eden.

By 1960, the Templars had both the First and Second Apple in possession, and used them during the assassination of John F. Kennedy.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Hat Trick"/>

====Apple 3====
{{main|Apple of Eden 3}}
[[File:Glyph 3-1.jpg|150px|right]]

The earliest known human possessors of this Piece were the {{Wiki|Freemasonry|Freemasons}}, who brought it over from Europe to the New World. [[George Washington]] was a Freemason, as well being the first President of the United States.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Descendants"/>

During the 20th century, [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] had it in his possession,<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Descendants"/> who teamed up with [[Winston Churchill]] and [[Joseph Stalin]] in the fabrication of [[World War II]].<ref name="AC2 Glyphs- Bunker">''Assassin's Creed II'' - Glyphs - Puzzle #17 "The Bunker"</ref>

It was then owned by John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated after [[William Greer|his driver]] – under control of the Second Apple – had driven him into a trap, so the Templars could take the Piece from him.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Hat Trick"/>

The Third Apple was given to Kennedy's Presidential successor, [[Lyndon B. Johnson]], who was secretly a Templar. Johnson used the Apple to push for the {{Wiki|Apollo program|Apollo 11 project}}, which retrieved the Fifth Apple from the moon without opposition.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Apollo">''Assassin's Creed II'' - Glyphs - Puzzle #10 "Apollo"</ref>

====Apple 4====
{{main|Apple of Eden 4}}
[[File:Glyph 4-4.jpg|150px|right]]

The Fourth Apple was first known to be seen in 10th century Chinese art, as a gold ball held by a small demon, first presumed to be an early grenade.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - First Gun">''Assassin's Creed II'' - Glyphs - Puzzle #4 "Infinite Knowledge"</ref>

The first known human to possess the Fourth Apple was [[Nikola Tesla]],<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Tesla">''Assassin's Creed II'' - Glyphs - Puzzle #11 "The Inventor"</ref> who found it in his home country, {{Wiki|Croatia}}. He most likely used it to develop his technology on the availability of electricity worldwide,<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Free Electricity">''Assassin's Creed II'' - Glyphs - Puzzle #12 "Titans of Industry"</ref> which the Templars started campaigning against, using [[Thomas Edison|Edison]] to publicly slander Tesla and to videotape the electrocution of an elephant, to prove the danger of electricity. Some time after this, the Templars broke into Tesla's lab, stealing his Apple and using it to drive him insane.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Tesla"/>

The Fourth Apple then presumably came into the hands of {{Wiki|Mark Twain}}, which indicates that the Piece came into Edison's possession after the Templars took it from Tesla. Edison later lent it to [[Henry Ford]], who manipulated assembly line workers for profit.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Free Electricity"/> Henry, "as per instructions", shipped the Apple to [[Adolf Hitler|H.]] just before Nazi Party took power in [[Germany]] and began World War II.

====Apple 5====
{{main|Apple of Eden 5}}
[[File:Glyph 10-3.jpg|150px|right]]

The Fifth Apple was recovered from the moon by Lyndon B. Johnson, after the Templars had taken the Third Apple from John F. Kennedy - who planned on creating a joint space program with the [[Russia|Soviets]] - and used it for the progression of the Apollo Project.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs - Apollo"/> The current location of this Piece is unknown.

====Ezio's Apple====
{{main|Ezio's Apple of Eden}}
[[File:Sixth Apple.JPG|150px|right]]

The Apple was used by Ezio, together with the Staff of Eden, to open the [[Vatican Vault]], where he spoke to a hologram of [[Minerva]], one of the First Civilzation.<ref name="AC2"/>

During the [[Fall of Monteriggioni|Siege of Monteriggioni]], Ezio lent the Apple to [[Mario Auditore]], who kept it safe as Ezio protected the village. However, Mario was caught by [[Cesare Borgia]], who took the Apple from him, and killed him in front of Ezio. Cesare gave it to Leonardo da Vinci so he could study it and supply him with war machines.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

However, the Apple was eventually stolen once more by Rodrigo Borgia, who hid it at the [[Basilica di San Pietro]], where Ezio found it and used it to exterminate Cesare's followers before defeating Cesare himself.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

The last known person to come in contact with the Apple was [[Desmond Miles]], who was forced by [[Juno]] to stab [[Lucy Stillman]] in the abdomen during the retrieval of the Apple after activating it. Both he and Lucy fell to the ground, with Lucy dead and Desmond falling to a coma. The modern day [[Assassins]] currently possess the Apple.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Freerunning

2012-09-15T22:44:19Z

187.61.147.231: /* Vertical movement */

{{Era|ACAC|AC|ACBL|AC2|AC2D|ACB|ACR|AC3|AC3L|TSC|Renaissance|Bbook|ACPL|ACL|ASD}}
{{WP-REAL|Parkour}}
{{Dialogue|Rosa|Climbing a bit of scaffolding is all well and good, but let's see how you do out in the open.|Ezio|Top of that tower, then? Torno fra un attimo. (I'll be right back.)|[[Rosa]] challenging Ezio Auditore.|Assassin's Creed II}}
[[File:Zw-codex-23.png|thumb|250px|The [[Codex]] sketch on freerunning.]]
'''Freerunning''' is a form of acrobatics, in which participants navigate through a landscape by performing fluid movements over and across urban or natural structures.

This particular form of movement was utilized primarily by members of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], and was a vital asset both during and after assassinations. Over time, Assassins would also use a series of tools to supplement their climbing and freerunning abilities.

Additionally, freerunning was integrated into the [[Animi Training Program]], in order for [[Abstergo recruits]] to mimic the skills learned predominantly by Assassins in history.

==Vertical movement==
In general, vertical movements involved climbing or scaling structures that provided adequate handholds, or a texture rough enough to grip. Inversely, they also allowed one to safely drop down from a height.

*'''Wallpass''' was the act of climbing a tall wall by kicking its surface once to propel upwards.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
*'''Climb-up''' was the movement of climbing up onto an obstacle from a hanging position.<ref name="AC"/>
[[File:Sixth day 4.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] climbing up onto a bar.]]
*'''Drop''' was the act of dropping from a hanging position or bar.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Long jump''' was a jump from a high height, and was usually followed by a break fall.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Climb leap''' was a vertical jump while holding onto a vertical surface, which allowed one to grab potentially out-of-reach handholds.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
*'''Beam jump''' was performed from [[Horses|horseback]], and allowed one to use the horse's momentum to leap from the saddle, grab a beam, and swing around to land onto it. Alternatively, one would swing on a beam and perform a backflip to land on the next one.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
*'''[[Leap of Faith]]''' was performed only by trained Assassins and Abstergo recruits, which involved leaping from a significant height, onto a cushioned material.<ref name="AC"/>

==Horizontal movement==
Horizontal movements generally involved moving over large distances, or methods that allowed one to clear obstacles, such as gaps or breaks.

*'''Swing''' was a movement in which one swung onto a bar and let go, enabling one to grab another object or drop to the ground.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Pass''' involved quickly and smoothly passing over medium sized obstacles. Altaïr would perform it if the Empty Hand button was held while Precision jumping.<ref name="AC"/>
[[File:Altair free-run.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] performing a gap jump.]]
*'''Break fall''' was a forward roll where the hands, arms, and diagonal of the back made contact with the ground.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Arm jump''' was to land on the side of an obstacle in a hanging position, hands gripping the top edge and holding the body in place.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Back eject''' was to jump backwards from a hanging position onto an opposite structure.<ref name="AC2"/>
*'''Gap jump''' was performed similarly to a long jump, except over an open expanse between two relatively level areas.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Precision jump''' was a moving jump from one object to a specific spot on another object, usually with a small surface.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Dive''' was only used with merchant stalls, where one dove hands-first through an open stall and used a roll to get back up quickly. It also was used by Assassins in case a Tackle missed.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Spring jump''' could only be done using a springboard, such as those in the [[Oltrarno District]] of [[Florence]]. It allowed one to jump forward twice as far, through the external force of the device.<ref name="AC2 - Bonfire">''Assassin's Creed II'' - ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)]]''</ref>
*'''Corner swing''' was when one would sharply turn a corner, by jumping forward and grabbing onto a lantern or pot mounted on a building's corner, before using one's momentum to swing on it.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>
*'''Vault''' was to use one's own momentum to slide over or under obstacles.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

[[File:Zw-codex-23.png|thumb|250px|The [[Codex]] sketch on freerunning.]]
'''Freerunning''' is a form of acrobatics, in which participants navigate through a landscape by performing fluid movements over and across urban or natural structures.

This particular form of movement was utilized primarily by members of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], and was a vital asset both during and after assassinations. Over time, Assassins would also use a series of tools to supplement their climbing and freerunning abilities.

Additionally, freerunning was integrated into the [[Animi Training Program]], in order for [[Abstergo recruits]] to mimic the skills learned predominantly by Assassins in history.

==Vertical movement==
In general, vertical movements involved climbing or scaling structures that provided adequate handholds, or a texture rough enough to grip. Inversely, they also allowed one to safely drop down from a height.

*'''Wallpass''' was the act of climbing a tall wall by kicking its surface once to propel upwards.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
*'''Climb-up''' was the movement of climbing up onto an obstacle from a hanging position.<ref name="AC"/>
[[File:Sixth day 4.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] climbing up onto a bar.]]
*'''Drop''' was the act of dropping from a hanging position or bar.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Long jump''' was a jump from a high height, and was usually followed by a break fall.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Climb leap''' was a vertical jump while holding onto a vertical surface, which allowed one to grab potentially out-of-reach handholds.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
*'''Beam jump''' was performed from [[Horses|horseback]], and allowed one to use the horse's momentum to leap from the saddle, grab a beam, and swing around to land onto it.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
*'''[[Leap of Faith]]''' was performed only by trained Assassins and Abstergo recruits, which involved leaping from a significant height, onto a cushioned material.<ref name="AC"/>

==Horizontal movement==
Horizontal movements generally involved moving over large distances, or methods that allowed one to clear obstacles, such as gaps or breaks.

*'''Swing''' was a movement in which one swung onto a bar and let go, enabling one to grab another object or drop to the ground.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Pass''' involved quickly and smoothly passing over medium sized obstacles. Altaïr would perform it if the Empty Hand button was held while Precision jumping.<ref name="AC"/>
[[File:Altair free-run.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] performing a gap jump.]]
*'''Break fall''' was a forward roll where the hands, arms, and diagonal of the back made contact with the ground.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Arm jump''' was to land on the side of an obstacle in a hanging position, hands gripping the top edge and holding the body in place.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Back eject''' was to jump backwards from a hanging position onto an opposite structure.<ref name="AC2"/>
*'''Gap jump''' was performed similarly to a long jump, except over an open expanse between two relatively level areas.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Precision jump''' was a moving jump from one object to a specific spot on another object, usually with a small surface.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Dive''' was only used with merchant stalls, where one dove hands-first through an open stall and used a roll to get back up quickly. It also was used by Assassins in case a Tackle missed.<ref name="AC"/>
*'''Spring jump''' could only be done using a springboard, such as those in the [[Oltrarno District]] of [[Florence]]. It allowed one to jump forward twice as far, through the external force of the device.<ref name="AC2 - Bonfire">''Assassin's Creed II'' - ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)]]''</ref>
*'''Corner swing''' was when one would sharply turn a corner, by jumping forward and grabbing onto a lantern or pot mounted on a building's corner, before using one's momentum to swing on it.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>
*'''Vault''' was to use one's own momentum to slide over or under obstacles.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

Viewpoint

2012-08-30T02:28:51Z

187.61.147.231: /* Trivia */ Galata tower IS a viewpoint. Its tip, though, is not.

{{Era|AC|ACBL|AC2|ACB|ACR|AC3|TSC|Renaissance|Good}}
[[File:Altair viewpnt jerus.jpg|thumb|250px|Altaïr on a View Point in Jerusalem.]]
'''View Points''' were structures high enough for an observer positioned on its tallest point to view the surrounding terrain. They ranged from church towers and roof beams on a city's landmarks, to watchtowers and guard posts.

View Points were essential for allowing an individual to collect their bearings, and navigate a landscape.

==High Middle Ages==
[[File:Assassins creed1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Altaïr performing a Leap of Faith from a viewpoint.]]
View Points could be found in the cities of [[Damascus]], [[Jerusalem]], and [[Acre]], as well as the [[Kingdom]], but not in [[Masyaf]].<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Each city contained ten to twelve View Points located on the highest buildings; such as a cross on top of a Catholic cathedral, the top of a lighthouse in the port-city of Acre, or a palace guard tower in the city of Damascus. Individuals adept in [[freerunning]], such as [[Assassins]], would climb View Points to survey the area and take note of the people within the city, and their movements.<ref name="AC"/>

Some View Points, such as watchtowers, had [[archers]] defending the position, or [[guards]] set around and below it, who could either fire arrows or throw rocks to prevent anyone climbing from reaching the top. At the very bottom of the View Point, [[Hiding Spots|carts or piles of hay]] were conveniently positioned, providing safe locations for the performance of a [[Leap of Faith]].<ref name="AC"/>

==Renaissance==
[[File:Ezio using a view point in ACR.jpg|thumb|250px|right|A View Point in Constantinople.]]
During the Renaissance, View Points functioned much as they did during the [[Third Crusade]], and some were located on famous landmarks of the era. Assassins made extensive use of these, and would not only be able to dive into carts and stacks of hay, but also into those of flower petals, leaves, and spices, as well as into bodies of water.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

In the cities of [[Rome]] and [[Constantinople]], various towers, such as [[Borgia Towers]] and [[Assassin Dens]], possessed a commanding view over the surrounding area, and could be used for the same purpose as a View Point.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref><ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

Many View Points were located on famous monuments, such as the [[Pantheon]], [[Colosseum]],<ref name="Brotherhood"/> [[Hagia Sophia]], and [[Topkapı Palace]].<ref name="Revelations"/>

{{-}}
==Animus==
When [[Desmond Miles]] relived the memories of his ancestors through the [[Animus]], View Points served an additional function. They would unlock parts of the Animus [[Maps|map]], and displayed the location of various events that occurred throughout his ancestors' lives.<ref name="AC"/>

When he relived [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s memories, he was required to climb a View Point whenever he entered a new city. On [[Synchronization|synchronizing]] with this View Point, the Animus map would display all the other View Points, along with the location of the [[Assassins' Bureau]] in the city.<ref name="AC"/>

Climbing the View Points also allowed Desmond to find sources of information that he could [[Investigation|investigate]], and use to gain information on Altaïr's targets.<ref name="AC"/>

View Points served a similar function in the Animus 2.0, through which Desmond relived [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s memories. It also helped Desmond locate side memories, such as races, [[Courier Assignments|message deliveries]], [[assassination contracts]], and [[Beat Up|beat-up events]].<ref name="AC2"/>

==Trivia==
[[File:AssassinsCreed_Fearless.jpg|right]]
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', the "Fearless" [[Assassin's Creed Achievements|achievement]] could be obtained by synchronizing with all viewpoints.
*In ''Assassin's Creed'', View Points were referred to as either "Reach High Points" or "Eagle Points".
[[File:ILikeTheView-ACII-trophy.PNG|right|64px]]
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', the "I Like the View" [[Assassin's Creed II Achievements|achievement]] could be obtained by synchronizing with ten View Points.
[[File:HighDive-ACII-trophy.PNG|right|64px]]
*In ''Assassin's Creed II'', the "High Dive" achievement could be obtained when Ezio performed a Leap of Faith from the top of the [[Campanile di Giotto]] View Point in [[Florence]].
*In ''Assassin's Creed'', Altaïr could activate [[Eagle Vision]] once he had synchronized with the View Point. However, in ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', attempting to do so would simply have Ezio observe his surroundings again.
*In each game, the highest point was either inaccessible or not a View Point. In ''Assassin's Creed'', it was located in the fortress of Masyaf; in ''Assassin's Creed II'', it was the [[Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore]]; in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', it was the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]], and in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' it was one of the Hagia Sophia's minarets.
*Throughout the ''Assassin's Creed'' series, an Assassin could be on the View Point at the same time the eagle was, causing the eagle to clip through them.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'', View Points were referred to as "High Points".

'''Girolamo Savonarola''' (21 September 1452 – 23 May 1498) was a Dominican friar and the leader of [[Florence]] from 1494 to 1498. Despite having great ambitions, most men found him lacking the ability to be a great leader.

In 1488, Savonarola managed to obtain the [[Ezio's Apple of Eden|Apple of Eden]], and recognizing its powers, he took it with him to [[Florence]]. There, he used the artifact to instigate the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]], hoping to cleanse the city of everything he regarded as evil, such as art and wealth.

==Biography==
Savonarola was born in the city of [[Ferrara]], where at a young age, he took a moral stance against the corrupt clergy present in [[Renaissance]] [[Italy]].

In 1475, Savonarola studied at Santo Spirito and became a Dominican friar, and in 1482, he was dispatched to Florence, considered "the city of his destiny" by his order. During the 1480s, he made little impression, and was often called a poor public speaker. Seven years later, in 1487, he departed from Florence to be back in Bologna.

===Battle of Forlì===
A year later, Savonarola resided in [[Forlì]] for some time, where he caught wind of the existence of the Apple of Eden after passing by the [[House of Orsi|Orsi brothers]], who were conversing with [[Caterina Sforza]]. He [[Eavesdropping|eavesdropped]] on the conversation, and from then on, he kept a close eye on the Orsi pair.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

[[File:Godfather 3.png|thumb|right|250px|Savonarola eavesdropping on the Orsi brothers.]]
As [[Checco Orsi]] was killed by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], he stabbed the Assassin in the left side of his lower abdomen, and as Ezio fell to the ground due to his wound, before he lost consciousness, Savonarola appeared and took the [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] from him.<ref name="AC2" />

===Bonfire of the Vanities===
{{Main|Bonfire of the Vanities}}
After the King of France drove [[Piero de' Medici]] from Florence in 1494, Savonarola used the Apple he had stolen to take over Florence. After uniting the city under his banner, he started to destroy all Renaissance [[Art Merchants|art pieces]] and books, due to his desire to revert the city back to Medieval times.<ref name="AC2" />

When [[Rodrigo Borgia]], Pope Alexander VI and the [[Grand Master]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], found out that Savonarola had the Apple of Eden in his possession, he sent several troops of his [[Papacy|Papal]] army to retrieve it, though with no success.<ref name="AC2" />

[[File:Power to people 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Savonarola using the Apple of Eden to control Florence.]]
Meanwhile, Ezio Auditore returned to Florence in 1497 and started making plans to overthrow Savonarola, in order to retrieve the Apple of Eden.<ref name="AC2" />

Ezio concluded that Savonarola's rule was being forced upon the people by his nine lieutenants, who were suppressing the Florentines. With this in mind, Ezio assassinated all nine of them, who were all either lured into serving Savonarola or were being controlled by the Apple. Once this had been been achieved, his fellow [[Assassins]], [[La Volpe]] and [[Paola]], began to encourage the people to fight for themselves. Eventually, Savonarola's grip over Florence was lost.<ref name="AC2" />

Soon after, an angry mob gathered in front of Savonarola's residence, the [[Palazzo Pitti]], in order to stand up against him. In response, Savonarola tried to control the mob with the Apple of Eden, but Ezio threw a [[Throwing knives|knife]] at Savonarola's hand, which caused him to drop the Apple. With Savonarola powerless, the mob took him away, and a Templar [[Agile guards|guard]] fled with the Piece of Eden. Following this, Ezio chased after and killed the guard, coming into possession of the Apple again.<ref name="AC2" />

===Death===
[[File:Mob justice 3.png|250px|thumb|right|Savonarola's demise.]]
Savonarola was eventually taken by the Florentine citizens to his execution: being burned alive at the [[Piazza della Signoria]]. In an act of mercy, Ezio decided that nobody should die in such agony, and pushed through the crowd towards Savonarola. The Assassin then stabbed him in the neck with his [[Hidden Blade]] before the flames could reach him, ultimately ending his life.<ref name="AC2" />

Savonarola's death greatly upset the [[House of Borgia|Borgia family]], as they were desperate to take the Apple of Eden for themselves, and it meant that the artifact was out of their reach.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

==Lieutenants==
The following individuals were those who did Savonarola's bidding:
*The [[Painter]]
*The [[Doctor (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Doctor]]
*The [[Preacher]]
*The [[Farmer]]
*The [[Condottiero]]
*The [[Merchant (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Merchant]]
*The [[Nobleman]]
*The [[Priest (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Priest]]
*The [[Captain Guard]]

==Final words==
* '''Savonarola:''' ''It's you. I knew this day would come. Please, show mercy!''
* '''Ezio:''' ''I have. Va' ora – che sia il tuo Dio a giudicarti. Requiescat in pace.'' (Go now – that you may be judged by your God. Rest in peace.)

==Trivia==
[[Video:Assassins Creed 2 Checco Orsi Assassination (Savonarola First Appearance)|thumb|right|300px|Savonarola's first appearance.]]
* In 1488, Savonarola was missing his little finger, although the reason for this was unknown.
* During the memory "[[Godfather]]", Savonarola was seen passing by behind the Orsi brothers as they negotiated with [[Caterina Sforza]].
* During the memory "[[A Warm Welcome]]", Savonarola could be seen next to the gate when Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza entered the city.
* Historically, Pope Alexander VI tolerated Savonarola's criticisms against the church, but after constant defiance, he had Savanarola hanged and burned at one of his own bonfires.
* Savonarola's character seemed to be quite similar to that of [[Jubair al Hakim]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. Both men believed that knowledge was the path to evil and sin, and both organized massive bonfires throughout their cities to burn books and other sources of knowledge that they believed corrupted society. The memories which resulted in their assassinations were also very similar, as both situations had the respective Assassins take down each of the target's lieutenants before actually confronting them, though for Jubair, killing his lieutenants was optional.
* In [[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]], Ezio [[Hidden Gun|shot]] Savonarola instead of stabbing him.
** The novel also stated that it was [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] who assisted Ezio in regaining the Apple from Savonarola, by throwing the knife that made the friar drop the Apple in front of the mob of civilians. However, the novel differed in that it did not include the brief chase between Ezio and the Agile guard who picked up the Apple, since Ezio recovered the artifact from the crowd once it was dropped.
* Savonarola was mentioned in Machiavelli's ''The Prince'', where his failure was used as a reference in the sixth chapter of the treatise.<ref>Machiavelli wrote: "Moses, Cyrus, Theseus and Romulus would have been unable to have their constitutions obeyed for so long a time if they had been unarmed, as was the case in our own day with '''Fra' Girolamo Savonarola''', who failed with his new laws as soon as the multitude no longer believed in them. He had no way to keep them faithful to what they had believed, or to force the unbelievers to believe."</ref>
* Savonarola was the only assassination target in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' that was obligatory for Ezio to kill (outside of the memory corridor) with his right Hidden Blade.
* During ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'', [[heralds]] mentioned Savonarola in a warning to his remaining followers, advising them to either conform with the Church or face inquisition.

Meanwhile, Ezio Auditore returned to Florence in 1497 and started making plans to overthrow Savonarola, in order to retrieve the Apple of Eden.<ref name="AC2" />

Ezio concluded that Savonarola's rule was being forced upon the people by his nine lieutenants, who were suppressing the Florentines. With this in mind, Ezio assassinated all nine of them, who were all either lured into serving Savonarola or were being controlled by the Apple. Once this had been been achieved, his fellow [[Assassins]], [[La Volpe]] and [[Paola]], began to encourage the people to fight for themselves. Eventually, Savonarola's grip over Florence was lost.<ref name="AC2" />

Soon after, an angry mob gathered in front of Savonarola's residence, the [[Palazzo Pitti]], in order to stand up against him. In response, Savonarola tried to control the mob with the Apple of Eden, but Ezio threw a [[Throwing knives|knife]] at Savonarola's hand, which caused him to drop the Apple. With Savonarola powerless, the mob took him away, and a Templar [[Agile guards|guard]] fled with the Piece of Eden. Following this, Ezio chased after and killed the guard, coming into possession of the Apple again.<ref name="AC2" />

===Death===

Savonarola was eventually taken by the Florentine citizens to his execution: being burned alive at the [[Piazza della Signoria]]. In an act of mercy, Ezio decided that nobody should die in such agony, and pushed through the crowd towards Savonarola. The Assassin then stabbed him in the neck with his [[Hidden Blade]] before the flames could reach him, ultimately ending his life.<ref name="AC2" />

Savonarola's death greatly upset the [[House of Borgia|Borgia family]], as they were desperate to take the Apple of Eden for themselves, and it meant that the artifact was out of their reach.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

==Lieutenants==
The following individuals were Savonarola's followers:
* The [[Painter]]
* The [[Doctor (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Doctor]]
* The [[Preacher]]
* The [[Farmer]]
* The [[Condottiero]]
* The [[Merchant (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Merchant]]
* The [[Nobleman]]
* The [[Priest (Savonarola's lieutenant)|Priest]]
* The [[Captain Guard]]

==Final words==
* '''Savonarola:''' ''It's you. I knew this day would come. Please, show mercy!''
* '''Ezio:''' ''I have. Va' ora – che sia il tuo Dio a giudicarti. Requiescat in pace.'' (Go now – that you may be judged by your God. Rest in peace.)

==Trivia==
[[Video:Assassins Creed 2 Checco Orsi Assassination (Savonarola First Appearance)|thumb|right|300px|Savonarola's first appearance.]]
* In 1488, Savonarola was missing his little finger, although the reason for this was unknown.
* During the memory "[[Godfather]]", Savonarola was seen passing by behind the Orsi brothers as they negotiated with [[Caterina Sforza]].
* During the memory "[[A Warm Welcome]]", Savonarola could be seen next to the gate when Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza entered the city.
* Historically, Pope Alexander VI tolerated Savonarola's criticisms against the church, but after constant defiance, he had Savanarola hanged and burned at the stake.
* Savonarola's character seemed to be quite similar to that of [[Jubair al Hakim]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. Both men believed that knowledge was the path to evil and sin, and both organized massive bonfires throughout their cities to burn books and other sources of knowledge that they believed corrupted society. The memories which resulted in their assassinations were also very similar, as both situations had the respective Assassins take down each of the target's lieutenants before actually confronting them, though for Jubair, killing his lieutenants was optional.
* In [[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]], Ezio [[Hidden Gun|shot]] Savonarola instead of stabbing him.
** The novel also stated that it was [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] who assisted Ezio in regaining the Apple from Savonarola, by throwing the knife that made the friar drop the Apple in front of the mob of civilians. However, the novel differed in that it did not include the brief chase between Ezio and the Agile guard who picked up the Apple, since Ezio recovered the artifact from the crowd once it was dropped.
* Savonarola was mentioned in Machiavelli's ''The Prince'', where his failure was used as a reference in the sixth chapter of the treatise.<ref>Machiavelli wrote: "Moses, Cyrus, Theseus and Romulus would have been unable to have their constitutions obeyed for so long a time if they had been unarmed, as was the case in our own day with '''Fra' Girolamo Savonarola''', who failed with his new laws as soon as the multitude no longer believed in them. He had no way to keep them faithful to what they had believed, or to force the unbelievers to believe."</ref>
* Savonarola was the only assassination target in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' that was obligatory for Ezio to kill (outside of the memory corridor) with his right Hidden Blade.
* Savonarola is one of the only characters not to belong to either [[Assassins]] or [[Templars]].
* During ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'', [[heralds]] mentioned Savonarola in a warning to his remaining followers, advising them to either conform with the Church or face inquisition.
