Similarly to the [[Almogavars]], they were [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] guards. They acted much like the [[Seekers]] in [[Rome]], as they fought with halberds and spears. They also wielded pistols that they could use when disarmed or when Ezio escaped to somewhere they could not follow.<br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Historically, the Varangians Hailed from Scandinavia and parts of Medieval Russia, and from the 9th to 14th century, served as the personal guard of the Byzantine Emperor, functioning similarly to the [[Janissaries]], who were the personal guard of the Ottoman Sultan.<br /> *In the artbook of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', concept art of the Varangians show that they were supposed to wield one handed swords, just like any normal guard. Also in the artbook, they were labeled as ''&quot;Paranoid&quot;'' instead of Varangians.<br /> <br /> {{ACR}}<br /> [[Category:Guards]]<br /> [[Category:Assassin's Creed: Revelations Gameplay]]<br /> [[Category:Article stubs]]</div>
