'''Dual-wielding''' is a form of combat, wherein one uses a pair of [[weapons]] in conjunction with one another. This is often to allow an easy shift between long and short-ranged attacks.

== History ==
[[Assassins]] of the High Middle Ages only dual-wielded [[throwing knives]] alongside a [[Short blades|short blade]].<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> However, during the [[Renaissance]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] was able to dual-wield multiple combinations of weapons.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Other than the throwing knives and short blade pair, Ezio could also wield the [[Hidden Gun]] with any primary, medium-ranged weapon – such as [[swords and maces]] – and [[poison darts]] with the [[Poison Blade]].<ref name="Brotherhood" /> During his time in [[Constantinople]], Ezio could also dual-wield a variety of [[bombs]] with his primary weapon.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

During the [[American Revolutionary War]], [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] would always dual-wield his weapons in combat,<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/03/26/the-new-hero-of-assassin-s-creed-iii.aspx GameInformer: ''The New Hero Of Assassin's Creed III'']</ref> using combinations such as a [[tomahawk]] alongside his [[Firearms|flintlock pistol]].<ref name="GameInformer">GameInformer April 2012 issue: ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

However, unlike Ezio, Connor was able to use two similarly ranged weapons (such as the Hidden Blade and tomahawk) together.<ref name="GameInformer"/>

Only a few enemies, such as [[Papal Guard|Papal guards]], [[Cesare Borgia]], [[Janissaries]], and Jagers<ref name="Revelations" /> were able to dual-wield; using a short pistol alongside a longsword in combat.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

'''Alan Rikkin''' was the CEO of [[Abstergo Industries]], and a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]]

==History==
===Animus Project===
{{quote|I'm about ready to pull the plug on your Subject 17. So either get me results or get another person into that Animus.|Alan to Warren Vidic.|Assassin's Creed}}
Although he did not interact personally with the [[Animus Subjects|subjects]] in the [[Animus project]], Alan was a key member of the team responsible for reviewing the [[Animus]] session recordings as part of Abstergo's efforts to find [[Pieces of Eden]]. He had analyzed the sessions of at least [[Animus Subjects#Subject 12|Subjects 12]] to [[Desmond Miles|17]].<ref name="ac1mailConferenceRoom">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[E-mails#Conference Room Email|Conference Room e-mail]]</ref> His personal assistant was [[Aubrey Jacobs]].<ref name="ac1mailCaseFile"/>

He commonly communicated with [[Warren Vidic]], who supervised the Animus sessions, through [[e-mails]]. Once, he sent him the information he and his team had gathered (which included their findings regarding the [[Philadelphia Project]] and [[Tunguska explosion]]) and asked him for feedback on them.<ref name="ac1mailConferenceRoom"/> Other such e-mails of his mentioned the launch of the Abstergo satellite, and the handling of security issues.<ref name="ac1mailAdditionalSubjects">''Assassin's Creed'' – [[Warren Vidic's e-mail|Vidic's e-mail]] (''Additional Subjects?'')</ref>

Alan was Vidic's superior, and was able to decide whether a particular subject had to remain in the Animus, or needed to be replaced.<ref name="ac1mailAdditionalSubjects"/> He was also aware of Abstergo's current relations with external political and regulatory organizations.<ref name="ac1mailFalseAlarm">''Assassin's Creed'' – Vidic's e-mail (''False Alarm'')</ref>

Since Alan Rikkin is CEO of Abstergo Industries, it could be assumed he is the Grand Master of the modern Templar Order.

===Leila Marino===
{{quote|You told me she wasn't going to be a problem and here she is stirring up the shit again.|Alan to Warren in an e-mail.|Assassin's Creed}}

[[Lucy Stillman]] once e-mailed Rikkin requesting information on a deceased friend, an employee named [[Leila Marino]]. The only response she received was an out-of-office notice, despite the fact that Alan continued to manage his other e-mails during the time he was supposedly away; including a warning to Warren to keep Lucy from asking difficult questions.<ref name="ac1mailCaseFile">''Assassin's Creed'' - Vidic's e-mail ( ''Re: Case File #1394 [Leila Marino]'' )</ref>
