'''Il Carnefice''' (1473–1500) was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], and an executioner active in [[Rome]] during the late 15th and early 16th century.

His genetic memories were later used by [[Abstergo Industries]] for the training of the [[Abstergo recruits|Animus recruits]], under the title of the [[Executioner]].

==Biography==
===Working for the Borgia===
{{quote|Everyone assumes that executioners love their work. [...] They wear masks to avoid this stigma when the mask comes off. Not Il Carnifice. He loves the work as well as the mask.|Fiora Cavazza.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}
Around 1497, Il Carnefice worked under the direct employment of [[Cesare Borgia]], often receiving instructions from him through [[Fiora Cavazza]].<ref name="Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Chapter 1 - Fiora Cavazza]]</ref>

On one such instance, she brought him a list containing Cesare's next condemnations. Upon studying it, Il Carnefice acted serious, telling Fiora that her name was one of those listed, though he quickly revealed that he was only playing a prank on her, and admitted that he could not read.<ref name="Project Legacy" />

While under the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]], Il Carnefice performed any execution assigned to him with both enthusiasm and brutality, often chopping off the body parts of his victims and displaying them to his approving audience. Fiora once described him as a beast, one she found more disgusting than intimidating.<ref name="Project Legacy" />

===Death===
{{quote|Word has gone out that a peasant is resisting arrest. We will show him how things operate under the Borgia.|One of Il Carnefice's guards.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

In 1500, Il Carnefice forced himself onto a [[Civilians|woman]] named Livia, only to have her hanged afterwards. The woman's husband later mourned her death, but was unable to remove her body from the noose at the threat of being executed by Il Carnefice himself. Despite the threat, the man remained by her corpse mourning her, resulting in Il Carnefice sending several of his guards to arrest the grieving husband.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

This caught the attention of the newly arrived [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], who decided to aid the man by rescuing him from the guards, then exacting his vengeance on Il Carnefice. Ezio infiltrated Il Carnefice's cliffside house in the north-west [[Centro District]], where he was discussing his latest kill with an associate of his. He swiftly assassinated him from above with his [[Hidden Blade]], bringing the executions of many innocent citizens to a halt.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

==Database Entry==
[[File:Gallows Humor.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Il Carnefice performing an execution.]]
Date of Birth: 1473 
Profession: Executioner

There's nothing in the history books about Il Carnefice, so I did a little digging in Abstergo's mainframe. Here's what I found: "A natural ally for the Borgia, Il Carnefice kills to the roar of an approving crowd."

The other small piece of information I could dig up is that he fancies himself as some sort of twisted artist. I guess that explains the crowd bit. I wonder if he does tricks while performing executions, or whether it's all in the subtle way he pulls the lever?

==Trivia==
[[File:Zw-acb-ezio-Executioner.jpg|thumb|250px|II Carnefice dies at the hands of Ezio Auditore.]]
* "Il Carnefice" simply translates to "The Executioner."
* Il Carnefice fights like a [[Brutes|Brute]] when encountered.
* Il Carnefice's axe in the Story mode is not the same one he uses in Multiplayer. Instead, it is the Bearded Axe, a common weapon that is wielded by Brutes, and can be bought from [[Blacksmiths]].
* Il Carnefice is the first multiplayer character encountered in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', and is one of the three [[Assassination of the Templar Agents|Templar agents]] to be killed in the main storyline (the others are [[Malfatto]] and [[Silvestro Sabbatini]]).

'''The Spy Who Shunned Me''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.

==Description==
[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] overhears a conversation between a couple of [[guards]] and learns that [[Dilara]], like the other spies, has been captured and taken to the prison. Ezio sets out to free her.

==Dialogue==
*'''Guard 1:''' ''Did you happen to see that? We caught another of the Sultan's spies lurking about. A woman this time, disguised as a harlot of low birth.''
*'''Guard 2:''' ''Sending his harem girls now, eh? It seems the Sultan is running out of skilled fighters. Where did you take her?''
*'''Guard 1:''' ''Inside. Into the prisons. But she won't last long. Not with [[Shahkulu]] in charge.''
Ezio makes his way towards Dilara's cell, but comes across a meeting between [[Manuel Palaiologos]] and Shahkulu first.
*'''Manuel:''' ''How soon before my soldiers are trained to use those guns?''
*'''Shahkulu:''' ''A few weeks at most.''
*'''Manuel:''' ''The [[Janissaries]] will know I have betrayed them by now. But do they have the resources for retribution?''
*'''Shahkulu:''' ''Doubtful. The Sultan's battle with [[Selim I|Selim]] commands most of their attention.''
*'''Manuel:''' ''Ah! What the hell is that smell?''
*'''Shahkulu:''' ''Apologies, Manuel. Some of these [[Ottomans|Ottoman]] prisoners are so... fragile.''
*'''Manuel:''' ''Shahkulu, try to moderate your anger. I know the Sultan humiliated your people. But there is no need to spit on men who are beneath us.''
*'''Shahkulu:''' ''Hmm. You. Take the woman from the prison and bring her to the chapel.''
*'''Guard 1:''' ''Shahkulu, I don't have the key.''
*'''Shahkulu:''' ''Find it!''
*'''Guard 1: '''''Who has the key? You?''
*'''Guard 2:''' ''I think Nikolos has it. He's on leave in the market.''
*'''Guard 1:''' ''Hristé mou! (Christ!) I'd like to run that man through with a spear.''
*'''Guard 2:''' ''Hey hey. Keep that to yourself, Entáxi (Okay)?''
Ezio goes to the market and retrieves the key, after which he returns to Dilara's cell.
*'''Dilara:''' ''You took your time.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You are welcome.''
*'''Dilara:''' ''Aman Allahim! (Good God!) What is that?''
*'''Ezio: '''''Not everyone was taken prisoner.''
*'''Dilara:''' ''Poor men. Allah sizi kutsasin. (God keep you.) That Turkmen renegade did this. Shahkulu. I'll kill him.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Wait!''

==Outcome==
Ezio frees Dilara from her prison cell, and she sets of to kill Shahkulu, leaving him behind.

==Trivia==
*To achieve full [[Synchronization]], Ezio must not kill anyone.
*The name of the memory is a parody on the 1977 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond Bond] film, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spy_Who_Loved_Me_%28film%29 The Spy Who Loved Me].
*Oddly, when viewed in Eagle Sense, Dilara will glow red, despite her being an ally.

Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins

The '''Turkish Assassins''', also known as the '''Seljuk Assassins''' or '''Ottoman Assassins''' during the time of the [[Ottoman Empire]], were the [[wikipedia:Turkey|Turkish]] branch of [[Assassins]], existing since their formation during the later half of the 13th century.

Existing throughout two different empires, the Turkish Assassins were mainly involved in a struggle against the [[Byzantines]], the Eastern European embodiment of the [[Templars]]. Even after the [[Byzantine Empire]] was dissolved, the Byzantines posed a threat to the Assassins, as they were determined to revive their fallen empire. Until the ultimate fall of the House of Palaiologi, the Assassins kept battling their Byzantine rivals.

==History==
===Formation===
{{Dialogue|Altaïr|So, where will you go next?|Niccolò|Back to Constantinopoli for a time. We will establish a guild there before returning to Venezia.|Niccolò Polo to Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad about establishing the Constantinople Assassins Guild.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
In 1204, the leader of the [[Levantine Assassins]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], journeyed to [[Constantinople]] in the [[wikipedia:Byzantine Empire|Byzantine Empire]] - modern-day Turkey - hoping to introduce the Assassin Order there. However, due to the [[wikipedia:Fourth Crusade|Fourth Crusade]] waging at that time, Altaïr was unable to recruit potential Assassins.<ref name="ACTSC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref>

In 1257, the tradesmen [[Niccolò Polo|Niccolò]] and [[Maffeo Polo]] were invited to stay at the Assassins' fortress of [[Masyaf]] by [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad]], the son of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Being trained into becoming Assassins themselves, Altaïr entrusted them with creating various [[Assassins Guilds]] abroad, as well as guarding Altaïr's [[Codex]]. When the [[Mongols]] eventually attacked, the Polo brothers left Masyaf,<ref name="ACTSC"/> also being entrusted with safeguarding the five [[Keys of Altaïr|keys to Altaïr's library]] underneath Masyaf.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

The Polos then traveled back to their home in Constantinople, where they were successful in creating a [[Constantinople Assassins Guild|guild]] and bringing the Assassin ideals to the Byzantine Empire.<ref name="ACTSC"/> However, the Byzantine Empire was controlled by the [[Templars]], and the Byzantine Emperor ordered the capture and execution of Assassins throughout his Empire.<ref name="ACR"/>

The Byzantine Empire was eventually defeated and usurped by the [[Ottomans]] in 1453, resulting in the foundation of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Templar presence in the Turkish region became minimal, allowing the Assassins Order to develop.<ref name="ACR"/>

===Growth of the Brotherhood===
{{Quote|For the first time in many decades, the Assassins have a strong presence here. It wasn't always that way. Under the Byzantine Emperor, the Assassins were hunted down and killed on the spot.|Yusuf Tazim, about the Assassins in the 16th century.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
By the later half of the 15th century, the Ottoman Vizier [[Ishak Pasha]] - secretly an Assassin - took a leading role over the Turkish Assassins. Ishak Pasha fought and defeated [[Vlad the Impaler|Vlad "the Impaler" Tepes]], a secret Templar, and brokered a truce between the Assassins and Ottomans.<ref name="ACR"/>

During the late 1480s, Ishak Pasha had begun recruiting Ottoman citizens into the Assassin Brotherhood. One of these Ottomans was [[Yusuf Tazim]], whose father also was an Assassin.<ref name="ACR"/>

In 1497, Ishak Pasha died. Control over the Turkish Assassins later shifted to Yusuf Tazim, who had by then become a [[Master Assassin]]. In 1502, a group of Turkish Assassins, including Tazim, and [[Venice|Venetian]] Assassins met in [[Greece]] to make plans to end the Venetian-Ottoman war, being successful in doing so a year later.<ref name="ACR"/>

In 1506, after some initial conflict, the Ottoman admiral, geographer and cartographer [[Piri Reis]] - tired of the artificial boundaries that separate nations - joined the Assassin Order as a scholar and technician, eventually becoming a Master Assassin specializing in [[Bombs|bomb]] crafting.<ref name="ACR"/>

===Fight with the Byzantine remnants===
{{Quote|When the Templars take control of a district, they flaunt their presence, hanging banners, extorting the merchants. It's a constant battle to keep them at bay, and they rub our noses in every victory.|Yusuf Tazim, talking about their struggle with the Templars in Constantinople.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
Following the earthquake in Constantinople in 1509, Templar remnants of the Byzantine Empire returned to the city, hoping to restore their fallen empire. The Assassins became engaged in a direct conflict with the Byzantines in the following years, though they also used the hatred between the Byzantines and Ottomans to their advantage, often purposely creating conflict between these factions.<ref name="ACR"/>

[[File:Upgrade 3.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio being introduced to the Ottoman Assassins.]]
In 1511, the leader of the [[Italian Assassins]] and a [[Mentor]] in the Assassin Order, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], journeyed to the Turkish Assassins' [[Galata headquarters|headquarters]] in Constantinople with the intention of finding the five keys needed to open Altaïr's library underneath [[Masyaf]] fortress. Greeted by Yusuf Tazim, Ezio was quickly taken in and introduced to various techniques that the Turkish Assassins used, including bombs and [[hookblade]]s.<ref name="ACR"/>

Though Yusuf still led the Turkish Assassins, it was Ezio who took a leading role over the Turkish Assassins against the Byzantine Templars. Recruiting many new Assassins and taking back Constantinople from Byzantine control, Ezio even sent Turkish Assassins to various regions across the Mediterranean, thwarting the Templars' plans and taking over cities from Templar control.<ref name="ACR"/>

In late 1511, Yusuf led a group of Assassins to attend a cultural exposition held in [[Topkapı Palace]] by Ottoman Prince [[Suleiman I|Suleiman]], knowing that the Templars were going to infiltrate it. Joined by Ezio, the Assassins went disguised as minstrels from [[Italy]], with Ezio distracting the guests and discovering the Templar infiltrators using his [[Eagle Sense]]. Successfully locating all Templars before they could bring harm to Suleiman, the Ottoman Prince and Ezio became friends and allies in the process.<ref name="ACR"/>

In early 1512, the Turkish Assassins aided Ezio Auditore in setting sail for [[Cappadocia]] to find the last Masyaf key, as the [[Janissaries]] were blocking the port to make sure Ezio did not leave the city. While destroyed the [[Great Chain]] spanned across the [[Golden Horn]] Ezio burned the Ottoman boats blocking the boat, Yusuf and a group of other Assassins kept the Ottoman guards at bay. Ezio successfully opened the harbor, and joined Piri Reis on the boat to Cappadocia.<ref name="ACR"/>

===Conflict with Shehzade Ahmet===
{{Quote|The whole city rises against us, while Yusuf's murderer waits and watches from the arsenal, laughing. Fight with me, and show him what it means to cross the Assassins!|Ezio Auditore, rallying the Ottoman Assassins against Shehzade Ahmet.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:Yusuf dead.jpg|thumb|250px|Ezio, giving Yusuf his last respects.]]
Though before Ezio left, he asked Yusuf to protect a woman named [[Sofia Sartor]], a bookseller Ezio expressed interest in. Yusuf agreed, and he and several other Assassins had taken up positions around Sofia's bookstore to ensure her safety. Though Ezio was able to eliminate [[Manuel Palaiologos]] in Cappadocia, marking the fall of the Palaiologi and the ultimate destruction of the Byzantine Empire, the Byzantine Templars became under the full control of Ottoman Prince [[Ahmet]], the favored son of Sultan [[Bayezid II]] who had secretly made plans for the Templar Order from within the royal house. On order of Ahmet, the Templars attacked Sofia's store to capture her, knowing she was close to Ezio. Though managing to kill a large group of Templars, Yusuf was eventually stabbed fatally in his back. Ezio discovered the body upon his return to the city, which served as a large motivator for the Assassins to strike back at Ahmet and the Templars, who were hiding in the city's arsenal.<ref name="ACR"/>

The Assassins led a full-on assault on the arsenal, and numerous Assassins and Templars faced off against each other. Ezio reached Ahmet deep inside the arsenal, but had to spare his life in order to find out Sofia's location. Offering a deal to trade Sofia for the Masyaf keys, Ahmet and the Templars left the arsenal.<ref name="ACR"/>

Before going to the exchange near [[Galata Tower]], Ezio appointed Tazim's lieutenant [[Dogan]] to become the new leader of the Turkish Assassins.<ref name="ACR novel">[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' novel]]</ref> Suspecting the exchange to be a trap, Ezio had the Assassins take up positions around the perimeter, and they jumped in as soon as Ezio's suspicions became true. Nonetheless, Ezio managed to successfully rescue Sofia, and the two of them chased after Ahmet in the countryside around Constantinople. After a long chase, Ezio and Ahmet ultimately found themselves falling from a cliff, only to be saved by Ezio using one of his [[parachutes]]. Right afterwards, they were joined by Ahmet's brother [[Selim I|Selim]], Suleiman's father, who had just become Sultan and was on his way back to Constantinople. Selim attacked and strangled Ahmet, and eventually shoved Ahmet off another cliff to his death. Only for his son's respect for the Assassins, Selim spared Ezio's life, but ordered him to permanently leave Constantinople.<ref name="ACR"/>

Nonetheless, Ezio and Sofia returned to Constantinople, with Suleiman's knowledge and Selim's temporary consent. Ezio made preparations to leave and to stabilize the Assassins in the city. [[Azize]], a female Assassin who had taken care of Sofia's bookshop in her absence, was allowed to run the shop full-time and the Brotherhood bought it from Sofia. With Dogan as the leader of the Turkish Assassins, Ezio knew that the Brotherhood in the Ottoman Empire would continue to thrive. Eventually, Ezio left for [[Rome]] with Sofia, who had become his fiancée.<ref name="ACR novel"/>

==Origins and appearance==
[[File:StandardApp-ACR-R.png|thumb|150px|left|A Turkish Assassin.]]
By the 16th century, the Ottoman Assassins wore tanned white Assassin robes with an orange chest-plate, and blue pants. In some cases, Assassins also wore Ottoman masks underneath their hoods, and some Assassins always wore their hood down, like Yusuf Tazim, in contrast to common Assassin custom. Each of them were equipped with a [[Hidden Blade|hidden blade]] and a [[hookblade]], which they used for fast and easy climbing and for transporting via [[ziplines]], so they could make their way to their destination fast.<ref name="ACR"/>

During the time of the Ottoman Empire, people from various countries and regions around Turkey were attracted to the empire, which resulted in the Assassin Brotherhood containing members from various different cultures and ancestries.<ref name="ACR"/>

==Techniques==
The basic techniques of the Turkish Assassins were similar to those of the [[Levantine Assassins]], who were the Turkish Assassins' spiritual forebearers. However, the Turkish Assassins invented their own upgraded version of the [[Hidden Blade]], called the Hookblade, which allowed for faster climbing and faster travel via Constantinople's ziplines.<ref name="ACR"/>

The Turkish Assassins were also introduced to various types of bombs, by trade from [[China]]. The Turkish Assassins trained themselves in their usage, and the Master Assassin [[Piri Reis]] eventually created more specialized bombs with experience gained in the Ottoman navy.<ref name="ACR"/>
