The '''Priest''' (real name: '''Brother Ristoro''') is a multiplayer character available in ''[[Assassin's Creed Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' who, despite his religious vows, is described as a paranoid and dangerous man. He uses a [[Multiplayer Weapons#Holy Dagger|holy blade]] as his weapon, which, as seen in the Beta, has a blade that is able to retract into the hilt. It was stated by [[Ubisoft]] that he will make an appearance in the single player mode in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' as well, along with the other multiplayer characters.

In [[Project Legacy]], Ristoro is revealed to be an agent of the Borgia. He often produces various writs from the church for Cesare and is known to frequent brothels, including the ''Rosa in Fiore'', where he is said to prefer the services of [[Fiora Cavazza]].

In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', after poisoning two who questioned him, Ezio Auditore finds him at the church, and kills him with an air assassination.

==Unique Moves==
[[File:Backstabber.png|thumb|left|The Sacrificial Strike in action.]]
===Sacrificial Strike===
If performed from behind the target, the Priest will run up and dig his dagger into the victim's upper back, causing them to go limp and fall to the ground. The move is reminiscent of human sacrificial rites throughout the ancient world, such as those of the Mayan and Aztec.

If the move is performed while the target is facing the Priest, he will either kick the target's stomach, causing them to bend down, and then deal a strike to the victim's vertebra, or simply thrust the dagger into his targets abdomen, killing them instantly.

==Trivia==
*Ristoro is Italian for "restoration" or "renovation," possibly in reference to the [[Templar]]'s [[New World Order|mission]].
*A similar move to the Sacrificial Strike is performed by [[Ezio Auditore]] if he attacks an unarmed enemy with a [[short blade]].
*His first custom color makes the top of his robe red, then blue.
