[[File:AC2 guard types.jpg|thumb|300px|Five guard types; the Agile, Archer, Brute, Militia, and Seeker.]]
'''Guards''' were members of either a local militia, or an organized military force. They were usually assigned to defend or control access to locations of interest, or protect certain individuals.

The colors and styles of their uniforms varied over time, as well as denoted their military rank, allegiance, and combat specialization.

==Factions==
===High Middle Ages===
[[File:AC guard chase.jpg|250px|thumb|right|[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] fleeing several of King Richard's guards.]]
During the [[Third Crusade]], soldiers wore the armor and colors of either [[Saracens]] or [[Crusaders]], with the latter subdivided into the personal guards of King [[Richard I of England]], or the Knights [[Templars|Templar]], [[Knights Hospitalier|Hospitalier]], and [[Knights Teutonic|Teutonic]].<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Saracens spoke Turkish or Arabic, while Crusaders spoke mostly English, with some Captains and Sergeants speaking French or German. Templar Knights, however, spoke all of the dialects.<ref name="AC"/>

Saracens wore {{Wiki|Lamellar armour|lamellar armor}}, and either {{Wiki|Spangenhelm|spangenhelms}} or turbans. All Crusaders wore surcoats and chainmail, while some also wore spangenhelms or {{Wiki|Great helm|great helms}}.<ref name="AC"/>

[[File:Kill2.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Altaïr fighting Talal's personal guard.]]
The colors of Crusader surcoats differed with their affiliation, with King Richard's personal guard wearing red and white, Templars wearing white with red crosses, Hospitaliers wearing black with white crosses, and Teutonics wearing white with black crosses.<ref name="AC"/>

Guards for several smaller factions or individuals possessed their own uniforms as well, such as the black, gold-striped clothes of [[Talal]]'s men, or the short white robes and gray-hoods of the guards of [[Masyaf]].<ref name="AC"/>

{{-}}
===Renaissance===
Throughout the [[Renaissance]], multiple factions of guards existed, as they were affiliated to either individual cities or people instead of armies. They bore unique colors, often along with the family or city crest.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

[[File:NVS 5.png|thumb|250px|right|Four Pazzi guards.]]
Guards for the [[House of Pazzi]] wore black caps, red sleeves with gold streaks, and the crest of the Pazzi. They could only be found in [[Florence]] and [[Tuscany]], during the height of the family's influence, until the end of the [[Pazzi Conspiracy]].<ref name="AC2"/>

Guards serving the [[House of Medici]] wore dark yellow caps, yellow and white striped sleeves, black armor plates, and the crest of the Medici. They were notably seen during the repression of the Pazzi Conspiracy in Florence, as well as in [[San Gimignano]].<ref name="AC2"/>

Guards of the [[House of Borgia]] wore dark red caps, black sleeves with dark red streaks, and the crest of the Borgia. They often accompanied [[Rodrigo Borgia]], and could also be found in [[Romagna]] during the Templar meeting, in the [[Cannaregio District]] of [[Venice]],<ref name="AC2"/> or in Florence during the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]].<ref name="AC2 - Bonfire of the Vanities">''Assassin's Creed II'' - ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)]]''</ref>

[[File:Florentine Fiasco 1.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] bypassing a line of Savonarola's guards.]]
Guards of [[Girolamo Savonarola]] wore black caps, sleeves, and armor plates. Instead of a coats of arms, they bore a small portrait of Savonarola himself, with three red beams shining down upon him. They were notably seen in Florence during the Bonfire of the Vanities, often repressing the Borgia guards attempting to take the [[Ezio's Apple|Apple of Eden]].<ref name="AC2 - Bonfire of the Vanities"/>

Guards serving the city of [[Forlì]] wore dark green caps and sleeves, as well as the crest of [[Caterina Sforza]]'s family, who ruled Romagna.<ref name="AC2"/>

The guards who served the city of Venice wore blue caps and sleeves, with gold armor plates bearing the coat of arms of the Italian city. The quality of their armor was significantly better than that of their counterparts in other cities, protecting them from much damage.<ref name="AC2"/>

Those who served the [[Vaticano District|Vatican]] wore white caps, red and white sleeves, and the coat of arms of the city of [[Rome]]. Similarly to Venetian guards, their armor was more resilient than most.<ref name="AC2"/>

[[File:Gatekeeper 2.png|thumb|250px|right|A contingent of French soldiers.]]
Guards and soldiers of [[France]] wore dark blue and white. They were commonly seen in Rome after the alliance of [[Cesare Borgia]] and the French general [[Octavian de Valois]].<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

At that time, French soldiers were stationed in either the main camp in [[Castra Praetoria]], or in military guard posts throughout the [[Campagna District]] of Rome. They remained in the city throughout [[Liberation of Rome|its liberation]], often fighting the [[mercenaries]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] condottiero, [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]].<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Guards from the town of [[Viana]] in Spain wore yellowish-green armor. They notably participated in the [[Siege of Viana]], as they defended [[Viana Castle]] from King [[John III of Navarre|John III]]'s invading Navarre troops, who wore red uniforms with yellow accents.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

[[File:Fourth part 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Ottomans guarding the docks.]]
[[Constantinople]] in the Renaissance was divided into two distinct factions, the ruling [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]], and the remnants of the ancient [[Byzantines|Byzantine Empire]].<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

Though Constantinople was held and controlled by the former, guards of the latter constantly fought for control. The region of [[Cappadocia]], particularly [[Derinkuyu]], remained in Byzantine hands.<ref name="Revelations"/>

Ottoman guards wore green uniforms with red accents, while Byzantines wore small gray capes, and dark red and white uniforms. The Byzantine guards also distinctly wore the black eagle crest of the Byzantine Empire's [[Manuel Palaiologos|Palaiologos]] Dynasty.<ref name="Revelations"/>

==Ranking==
===High Middle Ages===
====Regular====
Regular guards were the most common, but lightest equipped of the guard ranks. Regular Crusader guards did not have helmets, and only wore leather armor, while Saracen ones wore turbans, and light lamellar armor.<ref name="AC"/>

In combat, they were not skilled enough to grab, counterattack, or perform a combo. They could only deflect attacks, with a 25% chance of dodging a light attack.<ref name="AC"/>

====Sergeant====
[[File:AC guard sergeant.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Altaïr attacking a Crusader Captain flanked by two Sergeants.]]
Sergeants were middle-ranked soldiers, and were equipped with helmets and heavier armor. Crusaders wore chainmail, and the Saracens possessed medium lamellar armor.<ref name="AC"/>

They could grab targets, and had a 50% chance of breaking a grab attack, as well as a 50% chance of countering or dodging a light attack. They also had a 25% chance of breaking defenses, but could not perform combo attacks.<ref name="AC"/>

====Captain====
Captains were the most powerful guards, with the exception of Templar Knights. Saracens wore Baidah helmets and heavy lamellar armor, while Crusaders wore chainmail, and varying knight helms.<ref name="AC"/>

Guards at this rank were also able to grab, and had a 75% chance of breaking a grab attack, as well as countering or dodging a light attack. They also had a 50% chance of breaking defenses. If a successful heavy attack was delivered, they could perform a combo attack.<ref name="AC"/>

===Renaissance===
====Militia====
[[File:Escape debt 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Three Militia guards cornering [[Egidio Troche]].]]
Militia were the lowest ranking guards, and wore very little armor. They also had the lowest morale, and were likely to flee a battle if they were losing.<ref name="AC2"/>

Militia could be found almost everywhere, and wielded a large variety of [[Swords and Maces|medium-ranged weapons]]. They were not especially agile, but could climb up to the rooftops, albeit slowly, in order to pursue a target Assassin.<ref name="AC2"/>

Of the guard types, Militia were the only ones who could be fooled into picking up coins, should they be thrown as a distraction.<ref name="AC2"/>

====Elite====
[[File:AC2 florence elite.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Ezio attacking an Elite and Militia guard in Florence.]]
Elites were stronger than Militia, and wore a moderate amount of armor. They could withstand more damage, and were capable of dodging enemy attacks.<ref name="AC2"/>

They were also more courageous than Militia, but could still be forced to retreat, especially if their Leader (or a high-ranking specialized guard) should be killed near them.<ref name="AC2"/>

====Leader====
Leaders were the best fighters, and the most tenacious of all the regular guards. They wore slightly more armor than the Elites, and had distinct, full-faced helmets.<ref name="AC2"/>

They were resilient, and could withstand several attacks before they could be killed. They were also harder to disarm, as well as resistant to being grabbed.<ref name="AC2"/>

In Rome, Leaders were easily countered, and possessed armour like Borgia Captains, albeit without a cape.

====Captain====
[[File:Demilitarization 2.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Cesare Borgia]] speaking with his Captains.]]
Captains of the Renaissance were usually found leading contingents of lower-ranked soldiers. They fought similarly to Leaders, but were more heavily and intricately armored, with full feathered helms.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Twelve [[Borgia Captains]] were particularly distinguished members of this rank, and led troops at each of Rome's twelve [[Borgia Towers]]. They were armored identically to other Captains, but wore white capes with the Borgia crest.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Though most were courageous and skilled enough to counter most attacks, some were cowardly, and would flee into their tower should it be attacked, until the next guard patrol was posted.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

{{-}}

==Ranged types==
As most standard guards only had medium or short-ranged weapons, they were often supplemented by ranged guard types, who could attack from a distance. More types were added over time, with the advancement of weapon technology.<ref name="AC"/><ref name="AC2"/>

===Archers===
{{Main|Archers}}
[[File:AC2 venice archer.jpeg|thumb|250px|right|Ezio pulling an archer from a rooftop in Venice.]]
Archers were guards armed with [[Bow|longbows]], who patrolled rooftops and watched for possible enemies below.<ref name="AC2"/> Outside of cities, they were posted on elevated watchtowers.<ref name="AC"/>

Crusader Archers wore the same uniforms as the standard guards of their faction, though they also had white hoods.<ref name="AC"/> In the Renaissance, Archers were usually of the Elite rank, and wore the same uniform as their standard counterparts.<ref name="AC2"/>

Once provoked due to an enemy approaching within a meter or so, an archer would cease firing arrows, and draw his medium-ranged weapon, such as a sword or mace. Though accurate and deadly from a distance, Archers did not pose a serious threat in close combat.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Crossbowmen===
{{Main|Crossbowmen}}
Similarly to Archers, Crossbowmen defended the rooftops or areas of interest, though the [[Crossbow|Crossbows]] they wielded could be fired more quickly, and caused more damage.<ref name="Brotherhood"/> However, they did not completely replace Archers, as longbows were more accurate if used by a skilled guard.<ref name="Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

Unlike Archers, Crossbowmen had no melee weapon, and if their enemy drew too close, they would only back away and keep firing. They were also more vigilant, and possessed some [[Freerunning|free-running]] ability, which permitted them to more closely investigate intruders.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

In Rome, Crossbowmen could be distinguished by their striped berets and light armor.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

===Arquebusiers===
{{Main|Arquebusiers}}
[[File:Vilified 11 v.png|thumb|250px|left|A line of arquebusiers.]]
The Arquebusiers (also called Gunmen or Riflemen) were [[Firearms|firearm]]-wielding soldiers who patrolled rooftops, protected high-value locations, and guarded important people.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Though Arquebusiers did not have as great a range as Crossbowmen, what they lacked in distance, they made up for in power. Their shots dealt significant damage to both targets and enemy armor.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

In the Renaissance, they wore heavy armor and full helmets, as well as belts of gunpowder and ammunition.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

===Bombmen===
In Constantinople, Bombmen wielded [[Thunder Bombs]] and [[Short blades|short blades]], and commonly guarded the rooftops in high traffic areas, such as the docks, arsenal, and harbor. They would also participate in the protection of [[Assassin Dens|Templar dens]], and would attack from the safety of reinforced sentry boxes.<ref name="Revelations"/>

Byzantine Bombmen wore uniforms similar to Almogavars, though with longer red capes.<ref name="Revelations"/>

==Specialized types==
Certain high-ranking guards possessed unique qualities, usually granting them an advantage in combat through added speed, strength, or defense skills. They would often act as leaders for patrols of standard guards, and possessed uncommon weapons or armor.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Agiles===
{{Main|Agile guards}}
[[File:654.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Ezio fleeing an Agile.]]
Agiles were lightly-armored, quick moving guards. They were one of the types capable of outrunning Assassins, and were also skilled free-runners. They more commonly fled to alert nearby guards, rather than face an enemy directly.<ref name="AC2"/>

During pursuits alongside other guards, Agiles would usually catch up to a target first and injure them with the short blades they wielded. In battle, they were very light on their feet and could dodge nearly all attacks.<ref name="AC2"/>

Agiles wore the least armor of any guard, with only a light leather chest guard, and metal helmet and spaulders. Due to their increased vulnerability, they were also the most cowardly of the specialized types.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Brutes===
{{Main|Brutes}}
[[File:brute_die.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Ezio throwing an axe at a Brute.]]
Brutes were the most heavily-armored guards during the Renaissance. They moved slowly due to the [[Heavy weapons|two-handed weapons]] they wielded, but compensated through resilience and power.<ref name="AC2"/>

They were not very vigilant, and could not normally distinguish Assassins from anyone else in a crowd. In guard patrols, they often acted as the leader, as they had the highest morale of any guard type, fleeing only if they were disarmed and could not obtain another weapon.<ref name="AC2"/>

Brutes could be easily seen from their large, reinforced armor and closed helms.<ref name="AC2"/> Brutes in Rome had more intricate armor than those in other cities, with designs worked into the metal.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

===Seekers===
{{Main|Seekers}}
[[File:AC2 venice seeker.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Ezio about to assassinate a Seeker in Venice.]]
Seekers were guards who, as their name suggested, would search through [[Hiding Spots|hiding places]], on the suspicion that an Assassin had taken refuge within one. They always wielded [[Long weapons|polearms]], such as spears and halberds.<ref name="AC2"/>

Similarly to Brutes, they would lead patrols of guards, often halting the group to search any hiding spots they passed.<ref name="AC2"/> In battle, they had the second highest morale to Brutes, and were skilled enough to resist most attacks and counters.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

They were slightly more heavily-armored than a standard guard, though less so than Brutes, wearing a combination of chainmail and plate armor, as well as distinctive feathered helms.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Horsemen===
{{Main|Horsemen}}
[[File:Horsemen.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A horseman dueling Ezio.]]
Horsemen were mounted guards that possessed the ability to use a variety of weapons while on [[Horses|horseback]]. Their steeds allowed them to easily pursue targets, and strike pre-emptively.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Though they were vulnerable to long-ranged weapons such as [[throwing knives]] and crossbows, they could be easily dealt with after being knocked from the saddle, either by tripping their horse, or striking them from horseback.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Horsemen were equipped with both medium and long-ranged weapons, though none could wield polearms. They were armored similarly to Borgia Captains, albeit without the cape.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

===Almogavars===
{{Main|Almogavars}}
[[File:Curse of Romani 3.png|thumb|250px|right|Ezio aiming at a group of Almogavars.]]
Almogavars were heavily-armored Byzantine guards, who wielded two-handed axes. They were stationed in Byzantine-controlled districts of Constantinople, as well as in Derinkuyu during the Renaissance.<ref name="Revelations"/>

Comparable to Brutes, they fought with heavy weapons, and were slower than all other enemies. Due to their thick armor, they were very resilient, and could not be killed with a single bullet or crossbow bolt. However, they possessed a profound weakness to the effects of [[Datura Bombs]].<ref name="Revelations"/>

Their armor was scaled, with fur and particularly large metal spaders. They also wielded [[Almogavar Axe|unique axes]], with a pair of crescent-shaped blades.<ref name="Revelations"/>

===Varangians===
{{Main|Varangians}}
Varangians were the Byzantine equivalent of Seekers, and were stationed in both Constantinople and Derinkuyu. They were very skilled in battle, and could deflect nearly all strikes and counterattacks.<ref name="Revelations"/>

They wore heavy armor with short capes, as well as intricate winged helmets. They fought with halberds or spears, as well as short pistols.<ref name="Revelations"/>

==Expert types==
Expert guards were high-ranking guards, who were the most skilled and well-equipped of their time. They often possessed several of the qualities of specialized guards, and were limited in number.<ref name="AC"/><ref name="AC2"/>

===Templar Knights===
[[File:AC horseback charge.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Altaïr charging down a Templar Knight.]]
Templar Knights were particularly skilled Crusaders, and were stationed throughout the [[Kingdom]] and its cities. They would often position themselves with a wall or cliff to their back, to prevent them from being attacked from behind.<ref name="AC"/>

They were particularly vigilant, and could identify an Assassin from a crowd almost immediately, subsequently attacking them. Other guards held the knights in high regard, and would always stand back should the Templar Knight engage in battle with an Assassin.<ref name="AC"/>

They were similar to the Crusader Captains, but with unique armor. They wore chainmail and white surcoats with red crosses, as well as red lacquered great helms.<ref name="AC"/>

===Papal Guards===
{{Main|Papal Guard}}
[[File:ACB castel papal guards.png|thumb|250px|left|Four members of the Papal Guard.]]
The Papal Guard were elite soldiers commanded by the [[Papacy]], to serve and protect the pontiff during his tenure. They combined the best qualities of all the other specialized guards, being very powerful in battle, as well as quick on their feet.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

They wore intricate black and gold armor, as well as long dark capes, metal face masks and plumed helmets. They also wore crests painted on their chest guards, either displaying the crossed keys of the Papacy, or (in the 16th century) the red bull of the Borgia.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

Papal guards could use a wide variety of weapons, including long or heavy ones, though they most commonly [[Dual-wielding|dual-wielded]] a pistol alongside a medium weapon.<ref name="Brotherhood"/>

===Janissaries===
{{Main|Janissaries}}
[[File:ACR STORY 18.png|thumb|250px|right|Four Janissaries.]]
Janissaries were highly-trained soldiers, and the elite of the Ottoman Empire, serving as the private guards to the Sultan. Similarly to the Papal Guard, they encompassed all the skills of the specialized guards.<ref name="Revelations"/>

Their uniforms consisted of colorful robes with embroidered patterns, as well as black headdresses and metal face masks. They all wielded [[Janissary Kijil|unique kijils]], as well as short pistols for long-ranged attacks.<ref name="Revelations"/>

==Trivia==
{{GalleryBox|Guards}}
*Several other guard types are present only in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', such as Shield Guards, Duelists, and unnamed robed guards wielding maces.
*In PlayStation Home, you can purchase the design of a Seeker for your avatar, which also comes with a spear.
*On Xbox Live, you can purchase the outfit of an Agile guard.

;''Assassin's Creed II''
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', the taunts Ezio says to Brutes are different from those he says to the other guards, mainly insulting them about their weight, as they are bulkier.
*In the memory "[[Clothes Make the Man]]", [[Ugo]] tells Ezio that the thieves are to impersonate the archers. Yet in the next mission, "[[Everything Must Go]]", after Ezio kills the archers on the rooftops, the thieves wear the armor of Leader guards instead of archer armor.
*In the memory "[[Infrequent Flier]]", a Brute and a Seeker can be seen stationed on the rooftop, despite being the only guards who cannot climb or free run.
*In the memory "[[Play Along]]", Ezio assassinates an Agile so he can disguise himself as a guard, but instead of having an Agile's outfit, he wears the outfit of a Leader guard.

;Others
[[File:Au Revoir 7.png|thumb|250px|right|Ezio wearing the French Captain armor.]]
*In the memory "[[French Kiss]]", Ezio kills twenty French guards of different archetypes. However, in the following memories, the mercenaries are equipped with only Leader armor, while Ezio wears one similar to a Borgia Captain's (albeit in French colors, despite the fact that no such guard can ever be encountered).
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', an extremely rare glitch occurs with a group of four guards. They will stand in place and will not pay any attention to the player, even if you kill someone nearby. You are free to attack them, in which case an execution will be performed, but it will not kill them, and they will simply stand up again.

'''Pietro Rossi''' (1470 - unknown) was a stage performer, and one of [[Lucrezia Borgia]]'s lovers.

==Biography==
As of 1501, Pietro was engaged in a relationship with Lucrezia Borgia, the daughter of [[Rodrigo Borgia|Pope Alexander VI]]. However, due to Lucrezia's brother [[Cesare Borgia]] being known for his jealous rages - one of which caused him to have Lucrezia's last husband killed - they kept their relationship a secret. In order to allow him to visit her easily and unnoticed, Lucrezia gave Pietro a key to the side door of the heavily-guarded [[Castel Sant'Angelo]].

On one of Pietro's visits, however, Lucrezia instructed a guard to spy on the two of them as Pietro kissed her and openly confessed his love for her. After Pietro left, Lucrezia then told the guard to inform her brother of their relationship, wishing to purposefully make Cesare jealous.

In 1503, Cesare sent his personal assassin [[Micheletto Corella]] to kill Pietro while he rehearsed his role as [[Jesus Christ]] in the Passion play, which was to be held in the [[Colosseo]]. Unbeknownst to him, Micheletto had infiltrated the cast, and planned to stab him to death in an "accident," under the guise of his role as the Centurion who had been asked to check if Jesus was dead.

During the Crucifixion act, however, the rehearsal was interrupted by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore]], who had intended to kill Micheletto before he could harm Pietro. Despite this, Micheletto had planned ahead, and had poisoned the wine that Pietro had drank earlier on in the act.

[[File:Pietrodoctor.jpg|thumb|left|230px|The doctor examines Pietro.]]
Foregoing his planned assassination, much to Micheletto's surprise, Ezio instead rushed Pietro away from the fight to the nearest [[Doctors|doctor]].

After Pietro appeared to be recovering from the [[cantarella]] poison, Ezio demanded that he give him the key to the Castel Sant'Angelo. As Pietro protested that he was only a poor actor, Ezio revealed that Cesare knew of his and Lucrezia's affair, to which the other finally handed over the key.
{{-}}

==Trivia==

*In the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|novelization of ''Brotherhood'']], Pietro is called Pietro Benintendi.
* The way Ezio is holding Pietro as he picks him up is an almost exact reenactment of [[Michelangelo]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Pietà|Pietà]]''.
* If you view Pietro in [[Eagle Vision]], the fake crown of thorns he's wearing turns gold.
