98.110.212.191: The mission in which Ezio kills Malfatto was a main story mission, not a Templar Agent mission.

The '''Doctor''' (real name: '''Malfatto''') is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', who uses a [[Multiplayer Weapons#Syringe|syringe]] as his primary weapon.

His outfit highly resembles the ones worn by doctors during the plague, and appears black in the dark. His face is concealed by a mask, therefore making his true identity unknown. His outfit is different from what the doctors wear in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', most noticeably due to the shorter beak of his mask.

He makes an appearance in the single player mode of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' in a main storyline mission, as opposed to several other multiplayer characters, who appear in Templar Agent side missions.

He is also featured in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', where it is revealed that he is in the employ of [[Cesare Borgia]], and is known as a serial killer that targets [[courtesans]]. Despite being on his side at the time, [[Fiora Cavazza]] feared him and called him a "monster." After their first meeting wherein Fiora delivered a sealed document from Cesare, Malfatto entered Fiora's home while she was sleeping and injected her with his syringe, either drugging her or attempting to poison her. However, she was able to defend herself, cutting him badly with [[fan|her own weapon]]. Whether his attack was ordered by Cesare in the letter, or by Malfatto's own will is unknown.

At one point in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', [[Ezio Auditore]] comes across a courtesan crying over a fellow courtesan's dead body. She told him Malfatto had murdered her. Ezio reassured the courtesan that he would find Malfatto, and after a short time he located the doctor prowling in the district. Ezio signaled his [[Apprentices|Assassin Recruits]] to kill Malfatto, and they succeeded shortly after.

==Database Entry==
Date of Birth: Unknown.

Profession: Doctor

[[Abstergo]]'s database says: "Ravaging the poor districts of Rome, Malfatto preys on those unfortunate enough to be caught unaware."

The only data I could find outside of that was a report of a masked doctor in 1502 seen lurking outside the [[Rosa in Fiore]]. This guy seems like really bad news, and I've read a lot of bad news lately.

==Unique Moves==
===Lethal Injection===
The Doctor charges at his target from behind and swiftly thrusts his [[syringe]] into the target's shoulder, injecting [[poison]] into their system. Before the victim can realize what has happened, they collapse to the ground and die silently. The Doctor can also perform a similar move from the front of the victim, where he thrusts the syringe into the victim's neck.

===The Eye Stab===
The Doctor charges and jumps onto his target, injecting the syringe into their eye and causing death.
==Customization==
Colors:
*Basic: Green doctor's robe (black cloth with gear equipped)
*Extra 1: Red doctor's robe (brighter red cloth with gear equipped)
*Extra 2: Orange doctor's robe (yellow cloth with gear equipped)
*Extra 3: Black doctor's robe (white cloth with gear equipped)
Gear:
*Advanced: Altered mask, added cloth at sides of mask
*Superior: Added black spaulders on both shoulders with red straps, added cloth as extension to belt pouches.
*Elite: Added cloth sash with doctor's symbol at chest area, red straps under sash, forearm area of robes have a black and colored pattern.

==Trivia==
[[File:Zw-thedoctor.png|thumb]]
*Malfatto is most likely based off of Jack the Ripper, a well known serial killer that preyed on prostitutes in impoverished areas of London around the year 1888. The removal of internal organs from his victims led many to believe that Jack was a doctor, or at least possessed surgical knowledge. He may have been also based off the infamous serial killer from the UK, Doctor Harold Shipman.
*Malfatto is an Italian surname that may derive from the Italian word ''malfattore'' or "someone who does evil deeds."
*When chasing Malfatto in Single Player, his costume is his 3rd color option in the multiplayer mode.
*The fourth color of the Doctor is black like the doctors in Single Player.
*When Ezio is laying down Malfatto to die he holds his hand above his face because he can't close his eyes.

Sword of Altaïr

2010-09-25T15:10:18Z

98.110.212.191: /* Trivia */

{{Era|ACAC|AC|ACB|AC2|}}
[[File:Sword_of_Altair.jpg|thumb|Real life replica of Altair's sword.]]
[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] had a '''personal sword''' that he uses throughout ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]''. The blade's hilt is shaped like an eagle's wings, while the blade itself is both long and agile, making it a light and deadly weapon. The sword is apparently the weapon of choice for the guards at [[Masyaf]] and an all metal variation is available as a weapon in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
=== ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'' ===
[[File:AltairsSword.png|thumb|left|200px|Altaïr equipping his sword.]]
Altaïr acquires this sword from a wounded guard early in the game and keeps it through the entire story.

=== ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''===

Altaïr starts the game with the Syrian sword, with which he is very skilled with until [[Al Mualim]] demotes him to [[Novice]] for breaking all three tenets of [[The Creed]] and decreases his abilities greatly. During his progression back into the ranks, he starts off with a sword that looks like this but does not have a cross guard - it only has a similar handle and blade. After he assassinates four targets he gets the Sword of [[Altaïr]]. He uses this sword before[[Video:Assassin's Creed 2 --Altair's Sword-- HD|thumb|300px|right|Video of Altair's Sword Being Used]] he is given the Syrian sword back.

=== ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'' ===
Altaïr still possesses his sword during the events after ''Assassin's Creed Bloodlines''. In fact, the sword(s) can be found hung in [[Kantara Castle]] Great

Hall ('The Bull' stage), as ornaments. During the game this is the only sword that can be used. In the beginning it's attack power is quite low and
enemies have to be hit with it for multiple times to be killed. The sword and other weapons of Altaïr however can be upgraded by collecting Templar coins and then used to purchase upgrades.

=== ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' ===
Altaïr's sword is available in the [[Monteriggioni]] [[blacksmith]] for 50,000ƒ (or less if it had been renovated) after DNA Sequence 8. This sword is one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game, as all three stats are maxed out. It is interesting to note that the picture of the weapon's hilt in the blacksmith has a leather-wrapped hilt, however the weapon does not have this leather wrapping.

===''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''===
From the Gamescom footage of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Ezio can be seen wielding the Sword of Altaïr, meaning it shall make a return.

== Trivia ==
*It is unknown why the sword is available from the [[Monteriggioni]] [[blacksmith]] since the sword (being [[Altaïr|Altaïr's]] personal weapon) would be available together with his [[Altaïr's armor|armor]] once it is unlocked, however, a possible cause is that the sword could have been lost along with the [[Codex]], found, and later sold off to the blacksmith.
*The sword in the game is shorter compared to the other [[Swords and maces|longswords]] [[Ezio]] can use; the entire sword being only a little longer than the length of his arm. However, Altaïr's sword is the strongest weapon available.
*Strangely, Altaïr's sword is considered the best sword in the second game; in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', the [[Syrian sword]] was the best sword; however, it is possible that Altaïr made a new sword, possibly out of the same metal as the [[Altaïr's armor|Armor of Altaïr]]. This would have made the sword more durable, and perhaps more resistant to aging, unlike the Syrian sword. However, a few facts make this theory less likely; for one, the metal used in the Armor of Altaïr is golden in color, while the Sword of Altaïr is silver. Also, Altaïr mentions in the Codex that one of the virtues of the metal he used in his new armor was that it was very light. While this would be a desirable trait in the ''armor'' of an [[Assassin]], since it would permit easier movement, it is not necessarily desirable in a ''sword'', which are made successful in blocking incoming attacks by and deliver more powerful blows because of the weight of the metal in the blade. A very light blade, after all, is much easier for an assailant to knock away or a defender to block than a heavier blade. Furthermore, there would be little need for Altaïr to use the golden metal in his ''weaponry'', since his enemies did not now how to duplicate this metal and whose armor would still be easily penetrable with weaponry made from the more commonplace steel. Finally, Altaïr also mentions in the Codex that he feared the knowledge of this new metal and how to obtain and work it falling into the wrong hands. With this in mind, it would have been inadvisable for him to create held ''weaponry'', which is far more easily lost in battle than ''armor ''attached to the user's body by straps or other means, from it.
*It is interesting to note that in later memory sequences of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', if the player has the sword equipped, it is quite possible to be knocked away from Ezio by [[Brute]] guards.
*There is a glitch in the Xbox 360 and PS3 version which automatically replaces this sword with the "Common Sword" in Ezio's inventory. To fix this, you'll have to go to the weapon room in the [[Villa Auditore]] and equip Altaïr's sword again.
*Upon actual inspection, it is obvious that the sword is different from the first game, which had a brown handle in the first installment as compared to having a silver handle in the second installment.
