The '''Assassins Guild''' is opened after a memory during Sequence 4 (Den of Thieves), and is located at [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]]'s [[Tiber Island]] [[Tiber Island headquarters|Hideout]]. Headed by Ezio and [[Niccolò Machiavelli]], its purpose is to recruit potential [[Assassins]], and assist [[Civilians|citizens]] across [[Rome]] in their fight against the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]]. [[Assassin recruits]] gain experience by being called to fight [[guards]] and by being sent on contracts.

The Assassins Guild can be controlled outside of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' when the game is connected to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''.

==Locations==

The Guild can be accessed throughout many places in Rome. It can be accessed by the map on a desk next to the caged pigeon in Ezio's [[Tiber Island headquarters]], the many [[Pigeon Coops]] spread throughout Rome, and the 12 Assassin Towers (converted [[Borgia towers]]).

==Recruiting==
The citizens of Rome can be recruited as [[Apprentices]] under Ezio, and train under him to become Assassins. As he travels across Rome, he will find brave citizens standing up to the tyranny and oppression of the [[Borgia]] city guards. In [[Save Citizen|saving these citizens]], they will pledge themselves under Ezio, and will become an understudy at the [[Tiber Island headquarters]]. The amount of Recruits Ezio can have at once is dependent on how many [[Borgia Towers]] have be ignited and converted to Assassin Towers; one recruit per destroyed tower.

==Guild Management==

Multiple options are available under the Assassin menu. The [[Armor]] and [[Weapons|weaponry]] of your [[Assassin Recruits]] can be upgraded via skill points, which are gained upon leveling up, with one skill point per level. Each additional rank under Armor or Weaponry grants the recruit an additional piece of equipment, or a more powerful weapon. Additionally, the color of a recruit's uniform may be changed (though this has no impact on gameplay besides aesthetics) until they have reached the rank of ''Assassino''.

===Armor===
# Leather Pauldrons - ''Protects the wearer from attack meant to disable the arms.''

# Leather Greaves - ''Protects the wearer from low attacks that may go unnoticed.''

# Leather Chest Guard - ''Protects the wearer's torso from direct attacks

# Plate Armor - ''Made from plated metal, Metal Armor greatly lengthens the wearer's lifespan in the fiercest battles.''

# Assassin Armor (only available at rank of ''Assassino'') - ''Assassin Armor offers the greatest protection and durability.''

===Weaponry===
# Dagger (or random, purchasable short blade) - ''Dagger are quick and efficient weapons at close range.''

# Syrian Sword (or a random, purchasable sword) - ''Syrian Swords give the bearer a longer reach, yet are still lightweight and sturdy''

# Schiavona (or a random, purchasable longsword or mace) - ''Equipped with a wide, double-edged blade, Schiavonas are suitable for both cutting and thrusting.''

# Axe (or a random, purchasable heavy weapon) - ''Though heavy and sometimes cumbersome, Axes devastate their victims.''

{{quote|''Laa shay'a waqui'n moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine.'' The wisdom of [[The Creed|our Creed]] is revealed through these words. We work in the dark to serve the light. We are [[Assassins]]. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.|Ezio Auditore during the ''Assassino'' ceremony.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

[[File:Tiberhall.jpg|thumb|300px|An Assassin is born]]
Upon one or more recruits reaching the ''Assassino'' rank, a [[Initiation to the Assassin Order|initiation ceremony]] is held at the Tiber Island Hideout. The recruit walks down the Ceremonial Hall, flanked on both sides by fellow trainees. As the Creed is repeated by Ezio, accompanied by Machiavelli, the Recruit's left ring finger is branded with the Assassin mark, and they perform a [[Leap of Faith]] from the roof of the Hideout into the [[Tiber River]]. After this, the newly born ''Assassino'' is given Assassin Armor, which gives them full health squares, attains the highest strength with the Assassin Sword, and is given full Assassin Robes similar to Ezio's [[Master Assassin]] robes (though you no longer have the option to change its color). These robes will remain Assassin White. (However, depending on the dye used on a certain recruit before gaining the rank of ''Assassino'', the cape will have a certain color that corresponds to that dye, albeit not the same color as it would appear on Ezio if his cape were to be dyed).

==Challenges==
*25 Assassin Recruits signaled during a fight
*15 Arrow Storms
*20 Assassin Recruits signaled to kill a target
*5 Assassin Recruits signaled within a core memory
*5 Recruits raised to the rank of Assassin

Upon completing all of these challenges, the player unlocks the Assassins Guild Crest at the hideout, as well as the [[Sword of Altaïr]].

==Trivia==
*The Assassin Mark is not visible on the Assassin Recruit's ring finger after the ceremony.
