[[File:Zw-thebarber.png|thumb|The Barber.]]'''Baltasar de Silva, '''also known as the '''Barber''', is a character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', and a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. He uses a sharp [[razor]] as his primary weapon.

In ''Project Legacy'', it is revealed that he was [[Cesare Borgia]]'s master spy, and that he was not actually a barber. At one point, he partnered with [[Courtesan|Fiora Cavazza]] to investigate the [[Assassins]]. Though he failed to tail or catch his prey, he was able to observe his technique, clothing, and [[hidden blade]], and took notes eagerly. This research resulted in him creating the [[Templar]] assassin, [[Prowler|Il Lupo]].

Later, when Fiora turned on Cesare and allied with the Assassins, he was able to outwit his hunters using a variety of traps. However, he was intrigued by Fiora's decision and offered to make a deal with her. The "deal" turned out to be a trap that almost resulted in Fiora's death, but [[Francesco Vecellio]] and his fellow Assassins came to her aid, and killed Baltasar and his men with arrows.

==Unique moves==
===The Straight Shave===
The barber strikes his target's stomach, causing the target to fall to his/her knees. He then holds their chin, causing the neck to extend, takes out his razor and slices the target's throat. The target then falls to the ground, dead.

===The Cut-Throat Razor===
The barber fluidly side steps in front of his target as he delivers a lethal slash with his razor to the neck.

===The Double Swipe===
As he walks towards his target, the barber swiftly pulls out his razor and delivers a double slice to the neck, effectively ending their life.

==Trivia==
*The barber bears a certain resemblance to [[wikipedia:Johnny Depp|Johnny Depp]]'s portrayal of [[wikipedia:Sweeney Todd|Sweeney Todd]], the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. They both kill people with straight razors, and have black hair with streaks of white in them.
*He was originally called the Butcher.
*His surname, "de Silva," means "of the forest," which is possibly a reason for his emerald green apparel.
*He also bears a striking resemblance to Gangs of New Yorks' Bill "The Butcher" Cutting.
