[[File:AC.Brotherhood_bonusLG.jpg|thumb|The Harlequin.]]
The '''Harlequin''' (real name: '''Cahin '''<ref> [[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]] </ref> ) is an exclusive multiplayer character featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', available via pre-order on Gamestop.com, Play.com and Ubisoft.com. He is also available in the HMV Exclusive Edition and the Limited Codex Edition of ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''. A jack-in-the box of the Harlequin is also available to those who pre-order the Collector's edition of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' from GameStop.

He uses two stiletto daggers as his primary weapons. Another playable multiplayer character, known as the [[Hellequin]], is confirmed to be his sister, as stated by their multiplayer character descriptions.

In [[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]], Cahin and his sister Caha are first encountered by [[Fiora Cavazza]] while they were performing together. The performance turns out to be a trap, however, with Cahin, Caha, and Fiora killing all the guests present. Fiora notes to herself that the siblings seem to be mad, yet fun. Later on, when Fiora turns sides and joins the [[Assassins]] in weakening [[Cesare Borgia]]'s defenses, she joins them in assassinating Cahin and Caha. The attack was successful, with the siblings dying together at the same attack.
