==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 fails, '''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.
