'''Doctors''' are one of the new features added in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', which returns in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. Found on the streets of every city in black robes, and often with a mask with a beak-like shape, they can either refill [[Ezio Auditore]]'s [[Synchronization]] Bar for a fee, or sell him Medicine that can be carried and used later. They also sell him vials of poison for his [[Poison Blade]].

==Appearance and Background==
The clothes of the doctors are as usual for those in their profession, particularly after one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, known as the [[wikipedia:Black Death|Black Death]]. This plague peaked in Europe during the 14th century, and is said to have killed 30% to 60% percent of Europe's population. Subsequent to it, the world's population dropped from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400.

To protect from this pandemic and others to come, the doctors dressed in a long black cloak covered with a coating of wax, and a very primitive beak-shaped plague mask, although not all doctors wear the mask. Within this ''Medico Della Peste'' mask, there was a crude filtration system to prevent any virus from entering their system while they performed their duties. This mask was sometimes even worn in [[Venice|Venice's]] [[Carnevale]].

The specific mask that the doctors of the ''Assassin's Creed'' series wear is called the ''Maschera Dello Speziale'' (where ''speziale'' refers someone who sells every kind of medicinal herb). The "beak" of the mask was often filled with various spices and herbs, as many doctors thought that this was a viable method to avoid infection by various diseases. The eyes of the mask were also made out of glass, as it was believed that sicknesses could be caught by face-to-face contact with patients, or by touching infected objects.

==Services==
[[File:AC2 Doctor.jpg|right|thumb|250px|A Renaissance-era doctor in ''Assassin's Creed II''.]]
===Healing===
Doctors will replenish all health after being paid a paltry sum of 50ƒ. The price from the Doctor in [[Monteriggioni]] for his healing services, however, decreases as his stall becomes renovated.

===Medicine===
Doctors sell Medicine (75ƒ each), a healing item that can be carried anywhere. These are identified in-game as smelling salts, and are used as painkillers. The number of Medicine vials the user can carry at one time increases when a larger Medicine Pouch is purchased from a [[Tailor]].

===Poison===
{{quote|In high enough doses, that which cures can kill.|[[Leonardo da Vinci]] on poison.|Assassin's Creed II}}
Doctors sell Poison vials for a sum of 175ƒ. Poison is available only after upgrading Ezio's [[Hidden Blade]] with the Poison Blade. Poison is useful for discrete assassinations or for creating distractions, as it briefly causes the victim to go berserk and draw the attention of nearby [[guards]].

==Trivia==
* Ezio cannot harm doctors, but the first doctor encountered in the game (when with [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]]), is the only one that can be attacked and killed, though only with blades. Doing so does not alert guards, and does not cause or alert you of Desynchronization (due to Ezio killing civilians). Also, when killed, the doctor rises again. A video of this "bug" can be found at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gGyo747xeg this link].
* When you fight with guards in front of a doctor, often he will kneel before you and beg you not to kill him.
* Sometimes [[blacksmiths]] will also be able to restore some health when armor becomes damaged. Repairing the armor will replace some health.
* In the novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]'', the doctor that Federico introduces to Ezio is their family doctor, Dottore Ceresa. Also, instead of having a small stand like other doctors in ''Assassin's Creed II'', he has his own store.
* The doctor in [[Monteriggioni]] is the only one to own a store in ''Assassin's Creed II'', though there are several doctor stores in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
*A [[Malfatto|Templar Doctor]] is an assassination target in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', players can complete the [[Shop Quests|Doctor's quest]] to upgrade the Poison sold by doctors, so that the infected victim will go berserk immediately, instead of stumbling around for a little while beforehand.
*The masks that the doctors wear are the same as what the real life ancient Romans thought the Grim Reaper looked like.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', Doctors can be heard saying "Auf Wiedersehn" (German) and then: "That's french" after exiting the purchasing screen. However, this could be a reference to [[Rebecca Crane]] warning [[Desmond Miles]] that the [[Animus]] software may switch between random languages.

Rebecca Crane

'''Rebecca Crane''' is the creator of the [[Animus 2.0]] - which she affectionately refers to as ''"Baby"''. She also provides technical support for the other [[Assassins]] alongside her partner, [[Shaun Hastings]]. <ref name="ACII">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref><ref name="AC:B">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early Life===
Little information is known about Rebecca's past, though it appears that she was not born into the [[Assassins|Brotherhood]], as she comments that the Assassins contacted her when she was older. Prior to being an Assassin, Rebecca was into sports, including extreme snowboarding. However, one day she broke her leg, and began pursuing an interest in computers and coding, finding them more interesting than her previous hobbies.<ref name="AC:B" />

Before being contacted by the Assassins, Rebecca was dating an electronics expert. When Desmond questioned her further about the outcome of the relationship, she replied by saying that she had a boyfriend, and then didn't, implying that he may have been killed. Shocked by this, Desmond asked her if she was kidding, which she was. She continued to say that death is only funny when it's not happening in front of you, and that ''"(she) should know"'', and then refused to say any more about the topic.<ref name="AC:B" />

She also appears to be an old friend of [[Lucy Stillman]], although, prior to [[Desmond Miles]] and Lucy's escape from [[Abstergo]], the two purportedly did not see one another for seven years, because of Lucy's internment at Abstergo.<ref name="ACII" />

Later on, Desmond asked her if she had ever used the Animus to learn about her ancestors, she commented that it was pretty boring compared to his ancestors, and that she spent the whole day firing guns as a Prussian mercenary.<ref name="AC:B" />

===The Hideout===
[[File:Becky6.jpg|thumb|250px|Rebecca introduces Desmond to 'Baby'.]]In the [[hideout]], Rebecca serves as technical support for the Animus 2.0, ensuring that nothing goes wrong, with the machine or Desmond. She often leaves notes within the [[Database Articles|database entries]] that Shaun creates for Desmond while he is in the Animus, especially if the entries indicate the presence of a [[Glyphs|Glyph]] or [[Assassin's Tombs|Assassin's Tomb]] therein. As well as this, the memory core that Rebecca received from Lucy with the records of the [[Animus]] Desmond used at [[Abstergo]], allows Desmond to interact with the encrypted files [[Subject 16]] left behind in [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s memories.<ref name="ACII" />

While Desmond is outside of the Animus, he, Rebecca, and Shaun, discuss the Assassin Order. According to Shaun, he began spreading the word about Abstergo and the [[Templars]], provoking unwanted attention by the latter. Rebecca however, ''"saved"'' Shaun, and recruited him into the Order. When Shaun commented that the Assassins were killers, and not exactly the ''"good guys"'', Rebecca rebutted this statement, and assured Desmond that taking a life, though never easy, is sometimes needed for things to change.<ref name="ACII" />

After Desmond receives the message from [[Minerva]], Abstergo finds and breaks into the hideout. Rebecca helps Shaun pack up the Animus gear, while Desmond and Lucy defend themselves from the Abstergo guards. As they escape in the truck, Rebecca is able to get the Animus activated inside it, which allows Desmond to reenter the [[Renaissance]], and finish any remaining memories while on the way to their second base up north.<ref name="ACII" />

===Monteriggioni===
[[File:Becky9.jpg|thumb|250px|Rebecca working on the Animus in the van.]]Once again, Rebecca takes the role of monitoring the Animus while in the [[Sanctuary]]. After the [[Modern Times|modern day]] Assassins are forced to leave their hideout, due to being discovered by Abstergo, they flee to [[Monteriggioni]], where Rebecca sets up the Animus 2.0 under the [[Villa Auditore]] inside it's secret vault.<ref name="AC:B" />

During Desmond's breaks from the Animus, he talks to Rebecca about the Animus' performance, as well as her past, and a few other topics. Whilst reading [[Rebecca's e-mail|her e-mails]], it is implied that Shaun and Rebecca have a budding relationship.<ref name="AC:B" />

After Desmond finds out the location of the [[Sixth Apple|Apple]], and they arrive at the [[Colosseum]], Lucy takes Rebecca and Shaun on an alternative route through Capitoline Hill at Shaun's suggestion, as himself and Rebecca do not possess the necessary free-running abilities to reach the Apple's location. When [[Juno]] speaks to Desmond, she, as well as the others cannot hear or see her.<ref name="AC:B" />

As Desmond retrieves the Apple, everything around them freezes. He is then taken over by the goddess, and forced to stab Lucy, but once Juno relinquishes her control over Desmond, Rebecca and Shaun appear physically unharmed.<ref name="AC:B" />

==Characteristics and personality==
Rebecca is an energetic, and somewhat immature young woman, and despite the fact that she saved his life, Shaun is quick to belittle and gibe at her. She is rather tolerant and optimistic, representing Shaun's foil – being the polar opposite of her colleague, friendly and talkative. She shows great pride in her work, praising her redesign of the Animus as having a far more enlightened and creative construct; a ''"competitive edge"'' as she calls it. She also remains convinced, that despite Shaun's dubiousness of their means, the Assassins are, as Desmond puts it, ''"the good guys."''

==Trivia==
*When in the Animus 2.0, Rebecca adds information to the database using the name REBECCAC84. This username holds her first name, the initial of her last name, and implies her birth year. This may mean that she is 28 as of 2012.
*When Lucy Stillman and Desmond Miles first enter the hideout, Rebecca greets Lucy happily and exclaims: ''"It's been so long... seven years!"'' This means that the last time the two friends saw each other was in 2005.
*Her e-mail password is Snowmass84, likely to reflect her previous hobby, as well as implying her birth year.
*After losing her MP3 player, Rebecca sends an e-mail to her teammates about it, claiming that she ''"can't sleep without it."''
*In one of her e-mails, Rebecca talks about sometimes missing her family, and her dog.
*Rebecca was originally going to have shorter hair in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', but was scrapped and replaced with her usual clothing with a jumpsuit.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', it is suggested she is a reckless driver, as evidenced at the Colosseum, when she wants to drive.
*Oddly enough, some civilians in ''Brotherhood ''appear to have her hairstyle.
*The name "Rebecca" is driven from the arabic name "Rifqah" which means "Company".
*Despite shaun saying "Rebecca, the grown-ups are talking here", she is one of the oldest out of Desmond, Shaun, Lucy and Herself

'''Yusuf Tazim''' was the leader of the [[Assassins Guild]] in [[Constantinople]] during the early 16th century, and a [[Master Assassin]] in his own right.<ref name="Characters of Assassin's Creed: Revelations">''[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/05/17/the-characters-of-assassin-s-creed-revelations.aspx Game Informer: Characters of Assassin's Creed: Revelations]''</ref>

When [[Grand Master of the Assassin Order|the Mentor]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]], arrived in Constantinople, a friendly rivalry developed between the two – though the both of them learned a lot from one another.

Yusuf introduced Ezio to the [[hookblade]], a device which allowed the Assassins to utilise the many ziplines across the city's rooftops.

==Appearance==
Yusuf wore tan Assassin robes with the hood down, and a headband. His weapons included the [[hookblade]] and [[Throwing Knife|throwing knives]].
