'''Wanted posters''' are featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed II: Discovery]]'', and in ''[[Assassins Creed: Brotherhood]]''. They appear as part of the notoriety system, a new upgrade to the [[Social Stealth]] system. Each poster clearly states that the [[House of Pazzi|Pazzi]] will award 50,000 florins to anyone who kills or captures [[Ezio Auditore]].

Once Ezio reaches a minimum of 1% notoriety, wanted posters are featured on the [[map]] as locations of importance. Wanted posters can be torn down by simply interacting with them, and each torn down reduces Ezio's notoriety by 25%. One must be careful when tearing down each poster, however, because if [[guards]] are nearby and see Ezio removing one, the notoriety meter will increase by a small amount, and they will shove you.

Wanted posters appear in determined locations in each game; however, strangely, in ''Assassin's Creed II'', many of them are in unlikely and not easily viewable locations, such as on balconies or across the walls of a tower. This essentially defeated the purpose of publicly displaying Ezio. However, this has been rectified in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', wherein many more posters appear at street level, and in crowded areas.

In ''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'' wanted posters appear only once per place, and once torn down, never reappear in that spot. Tearing down a certain number of posters will cause the [[Synchronization]] bar to increase in augment.

==Trivia==
*In ''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery'', the player can use their own photo in place of Ezio's own wanted posters, using the DSi's camera feature.
*''"Morti di vivo"'' is an incorrect Italian translation of the phrase "dead or alive." Instead, it should be "''vivo o morto."''
*The posters state that the Pazzi family will offer a reward, even after they all have been killed by Ezio.
*The posters in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' remain the same as the ones in ''Assassin's Creed II'', but the symbol of the Pazzi family is removed.
*If the poster is on the wall of a [[Borgia Tower]], igniting the tower won't lower notoriety.
*Even if your notoriety is at 1%, the prize on the poster will always be 50,000 florins

'''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 14<sup>th</sup> 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==

===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|When given in high 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.
