The '''Dagger of Brutus''' is a legendary dagger that is available in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', obtained along with the personal [[Armor of Brutus|Armor]] of [[Marcus Junius Brutus]]. It is thought to be the same weapon that Marcus used to kill [[Gaius Julius Caesar]].

Having this unique weapon equipped will strike fear into the hearts of [[civilians]], and will cause [[guards]] to flee faster from fights, mainly due to its brutal kill animations. It is the best [[short blade]] weapon in the game, with complete 5-star stats.

The dagger's kill animations are unique and they differ from those of other short blade weapons that Ezio equip himself with. Certain examples are the bone breaking move of the other short blades being replaced by several vicious stabs, and a move involving stabbing the opponent in the chest, then again in the back, before tossing the corpse aside (similar to some of the multiplayer unique kills). The reason behind such a gruesome animation could be derived from the actual assassination of Julius Caesar, where he was stabbed multiple times by his murderers.

The dagger is unlocked and made usable by collecting all the Keys of Romulus from the different [[Lairs of Romulus]], and will be found in the same underground chamber as the Armor of Brutus.

==Trivia==
*The Dagger of Brutus is modeled after a Roman Pugio, a type of dagger used as a secondary weapon by Roman soldiers during the 1st Century AD.
*If and when [[Ezio Auditore|Ezio]] wields the Dagger of Brutus, enemy morale is reduced by 20 percent.
