'''Nikola Tesla''' (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian inventor, and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla planned to create a worldwide network able to transmit information and free electricity to anywhere on the planet, the knowledge of which came from a [[Fourth Apple|Piece of Eden]] he had acquired.

==Biography==

===Background===
He was born in Smiljani, [[Croatia]]. He was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern [[Wikipedia:Alternating current|alternating current]] (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution, and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.

===Acquiring a Piece of Eden===
Tesla planned to create a worldwide network able to transmit information and free electricity to anywhere on the planet, the knowledge of which came from a [[Fourth Apple|Piece of Eden]] he had acquired. According to [[Subject 16]], Tesla found the Piece of Eden in [[Croatia]]. The [[Templars]], most prominently [[Thomas Edison]], opposed this idea, as it would be an opposition to the Templar goal and Edison's ideals. To this end, Edison demonstrated a series of experiments that he released as proof that Tesla power was dangerous, causing public disapproval of Tesla's invention. Tesla's Apple of Eden seemingly disappeared along with some of his designs.

===Working with the Assassins===
Later on, the [[Assassins]], including [[Nikolai Orelov]], contacted Tesla and enlisted his help in destroying the recently located [[the Staff|Staff]] and Templar built Tesla coil using his particle beam weapon. He fired the machine from America with the words "Rot in Hell, Thomas". The resulting explosion became known as the [[Tunguska explosion]], which, according to Orelov, destroyed the Staff completely, or possibly blasted the Piece of Eden miles away.

The '''Knight '''(real name: '''Verulo Gallo''') is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. He wields his greatsword with deadly efficiency, capable of leaving victims with deep wounds and shattered bones. This character is available along with the downloadable content ''[[The Da Vinci Disappearance]]''.

==Unique Moves==

'''''Blade Testing (Low Profile, Back) '''''

The Knight removes his sword from his belts and chops downward into the shoulder of his target roughly, slashing them as he quickly pulls his sword out. Providing his victim with a large fatal wound, he lets them fall to the floor, dead.

'''''The Falling Guillotine (Low Profile, Front) '''''

The Knight unsheathes his greatsword, before knocking his target's legs from underneath them with the side of his sword. As they make contact with the ground, he hacks his greatsword into his victim's back, severing their spine, before pulling his weapon out and storing it away.

'''''Teeing Off (High Profile, Back) '''''

The Knight chops with his sword into the side of his target's waist, getting his greatsword lodged in their flesh. Forcefully, he slashes through their body with a mighty swing, unlodging his sword and spinning his victim in the progress. Afterwards, while his victim's dead body is left on the ground, the Knight stores his greatsword back at his belt.

'''''Body Trauma (High Profile, Front) '''''

The Knight clotheslines his target in the neck with his arm, making them topple onto their back. He then stabs his sword into his victim's heart and lets it go, before grabbing it with his other hand and pulling it out, taking the time to sheath his blade while his target bleeds profusely, their heart pierced.

'''''Reaping Elevation (Bench Kill)'''''

The Knight stabs his target in the chest, before lifting them off the bench and to the side. His target feebly grasps at the blade, but eventually goes limp. The Knight then pulls back the sword quickly, withdrawing the blade and making his victim fall off of the tip.

'''''Two-Ton Termination (Aerial Kill)'''''

The Knight jumps from above a rooftop onto his unfortunate target, crashing into them with gravity aiding his heavy armour, before removing his greatsword from his waist and forcibly slashing downwards into the middle of his victim's head. Ripping his weapon out his target, the Knight replaces it at his waist.

==Customization==
Colors:
*Basic: Red
*Extra 1: White
*Extra 2: Yellow
*Extra 3: Blue
Gear:
*Advanced: Waistcloth change
*Superior: Darker, polished armor with gold tracing.
*Elite: Altered, darker helmet with 'mohawk' horsehair plume (affected by color) and gold tracing, plates protecting the neck.

==Trivia==
*Upon closer inspection, the visor of the Knight's basic helmet paired with the engraving on his helm form the [[Templars|Templar]] cross.
*The Knight bears a close resemblance to a [[Brute]], albeit with flashier colors, lighter armor and a different helmet. However, the Brutes from ''Assassin's Creed II'' have almost the exact same helmet.
*The Knight also looks like the captain guards featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]''.
*According to the community developer [[Gabe Graziani]] in the third Videodex, his sword is a Titanic Greatsword.
*His sword resembles an [[Wikipedia:Estoc|Estoc]].
*He might be replaced by the [[Crusader]] in [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] multiplayer.
