'''Moloch''' (unknown – 1092), also referred to as '''The Bull''', was the leader of a group of religious zealots based in [[Kyrenia]], and a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]].<br />
<br />
Moloch was the father of twins, [[Shalim]] and [[Shahar]], who were also major Templar figures on the island of [[Cyprus]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Upon discovering that an [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], and his companion, [[Maria Thorpe]], had arrived in his city, Moloch promptly placed a price on both their heads. After [[Jonas]]' death at Altaïr's hands, Moloch's religious fanatics were stirred up into a riot.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Maria, who had met Moloch before, told Altaïr of him, describing him as a "pious blowhard" and saying that he resided in [[Kantara Castle]]. Altaïr infiltrated the fortress and soon found Moloch, whom he attempted to assassinate. However, Moloch detected his presence, catching him by the throat and throwing him across the room.<br />
<br />
The two engaged in a duel, and the Assassin eventually proved to be more skilled, and was able to kill Moloch by strangling him with his own flail.<br />
<br />
==Personality and characteristics==<br />
Moloch was a towering man of immense strength, wielding a flail resembiling a {{Wiki|Morning star (weapon)|morning star}}. He was also a religious fanatic who surrounded himself with followers that shared his zealous ideas of serving their God.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The name {{Wiki|Moloch}} referred to an ancient Ammonite god, and was later adapted to describe something that required a costly sacrifice.<br />
*Moloch was the narrator of the trailer for ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]''.<br />
*Moloch's character model was notably unique, as he possessed a larger body structure than most other characters in ''Bloodlines''.<br />
*Moloch's weapon, named the "Mace of the Bull," was available for purchase in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It was unlocked once ''Assassin's Creed II'' was [[Synchronization|synchronized]] with a completed game save of ''Bloodlines''.<br />
*Like most major antagonists of ''Bloodlines'', Moloch could not be grabbed, and would push Altaïr away at every attempt.<br />
