==Unique Moves ==

'''''The Second Chancer (High Profile, Front)'''''
: The Footpad runs directly at his target and raises one of his Shivs for a high attack, (perhaps in attempt to stab at the head, neck or shoulders) but the target resists and pushes him back. Then, The Footpad ducks down to waist level for another attempt and stabs the lower torso of the target.

'''''Beat Down Brawl (Low Profile, Front)'''''
: The Footpad approaches his target and than inflicts a rapid sequence of punches to the lower torso, followed by an uppercut to the targets jaw, sending the target's head back. Now the neck is exposed, he brings down his Shivs to the lower neck for the final blow.

'''''The Double Piercing (Low Profile, Back)'''''
: The Footpad approaches from behind, grabbing his target by his/her left shoulder, stabbing them in the side of the abdomen twice, the second stab forcing his victim to the floor.

'''''The Swift Slasher (High Profile, Back)'''''
: The Footpad runs to his target from behind, slashing them horizontally across their spine, and stabbing them in the left of the abdomen.

'''''Blind and Helpless (Bench Kill)'''''
:The Footpad slashes his seated target across the eyes with his right shiv, before spinning the blade around in his hand and stabbing his victim through the throat.

''''' The Thieving Strike (Aerial Kill) '''''
:The Footpad jumps from a rooftop onto his unaware victim and in midair he pulls out his two shivs. Then when he lands, he slashes at the torso with both of his shivs before dealing a final blow to his targets neck.

==Trivia==
*"Footpad" is an old-fashioned word for thief, but was replaced by the term "Mugger" in the late 15th century.
*In the Dutch version of the game, the footpad translates to "the highwayman".
*It is interesting to note that, in the trailer showing the Footpad, he is seen perhaps stealing something from the [[Barber]]'s waist, before becoming the target of the chase; not unlike the [[Pickpocketing#Pickpockets|Pickpockets]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
**Pickpocketing is not an action performable in the mulitplayer. It is unknown how or why this action was performed in the trailer, however, it was most likely cosmetic.
**The Barber seems to be chasing the Footpad in order to assassinate him, however, the Footpad kills the Barber very shortly afterwards.
*In the Limited Codex Edition of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, on the multiplayer character card, there is a spelling mistake: "Cutting through groups of people, he moves towards his target as silent and deadly as a snake. Quickly, he rushes to his victim, brandishes his two knives and plants them into flesh, as if they were fangs. The target falls, '''the crowd creams''', but the Footpad has already vanished."
*Strangely, the Russian translation of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood labels him as "Soldier".
*Lanz is an old Germanic name, meaning that Lanz may possibly be German. If he is German, the fact that his elite gear consists of him wearing a turban barely makes any sense.
*His shivs have what looks like brass knuckles, which can be why he punches his target in his Beat Down kill animation.

As he walks towards his target, The Barber swiftly pulls out his razor and delivers a double slice to the neck, cutting open the victim's jugular and leading them to choke on their blood.

'''''The Cut-Throat Razor (High Profile, Back)'''''

The Barber slides along the side of his target, slicing the crevice behind the knee in the process, before delivering a lethal slash with his razor to their neck, having made his way around to the front of them.

'''''The High Slash (High Profile, Front)'''''

*He also bears a striking resemblance to [[wikipedia: Gangs of New York|Gangs of New York]]'s Bill "The Butcher" Cutting.
*He is always the target the player must kill in the Introductory Session in multiplayer, therefore he is the only character you can't play as in the session.

{{quote|Brother Ristoro vowed a life of piety and poverty, but practiced neither.|Ubisoft Description}}
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 Dagger]] 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 the two who questioned him, Ezio Auditore finds him at the church, and kills him from above with an air assassination.

==Unique Moves==

[[File:Backstabber.png|thumb|right|The Sacrificial Strike in action.]]
'''''Sacrificial Strike (Low Profile, Back)'''''

The Priest walks up and dig his dagger into the victim's upper back, causing them to 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.

'''''Paying Respects (High Profile, Front) '''''

The Priest runs up to his target, brutally kneeing his target in the stomach, causing them to bend forward, before dealing a strike to their vertebra. His victim then crumples to the floor, dead.

'''''The Holy Lunge (Low Profile, Front ) '''''

The Priest walks up to his victim, and suddenly thrusts the dagger upward into his target's abdomen, through the ribcage and into their heart, killing them instantly.

'''''Kneel Down and Pray (High Profile, Back)'''''

Similar to the '''''Sacrificial Strike''''', the Priest knees the back of his target's legs, and one-handedly forces his dagger in between the their shoulder blades, killing them.

'''''The Merciless Monk (Bench Kill)'''''

The Priest fiercely grabs the back of his victim's head, and forces it down so they are facing the floor. He then removes his dagger from its case and mercilessly pierces their back, instantly killing them.

''''' The Crucifixion Stab (Aerial Kill) '''''

The Priest leaps from a rooftop onto his victim. Then he takes out his dagger and forces it between the shoulder blades. Finally he brutally yanks it out and leaves them for dead.

==Customization==
Colors:
*Basic: Pale White
*Extra 1: Red
*Extra 2: Blue
*Extra 3: Green
Gear:
*Advanced: Added hood (not worn), given a black undershirt visible at neck, added gold trim around black stripe of top, bottom of robes are now black with gold trim, bottom now consists to two parts buttoned together.
*Superior: The small wooden cross necklace is replaced with a larger golden cross necklace, embedded with 3 red rubies, the right arm has a shorter sleeve and an altered glove, and the clothing beneath the top is changed to black with golden trims to match the bottom of the robe, with the belt and left glove being given a gold trim.
*Elite: Added a golden [[wikipedia:Stole_(vestment)|stole]] around shoulders that extends below the waist.

==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]].
*While the Priest's picture shows him wielding a crucifix as a weapon, the Priest in-game actually uses a weapon similar to a gravity knife. This differs from the other characters, as their concept art shows them wielding their current weapons.
*If you descend into the courtyard after killing Brother Ristoro, you may find a spear on the ground.
