'''Horn Bearers''' were elite [[Soldier|guards]] of the [[Abbasid Caliphate]] during the 9th century armed with two-handed [[mace]]s. They were so named because of the horns they carried at their waists, which they would sound in the event of a threat, alerting all nearby guards to converge at their location.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Database: Horn Bearer]]</ref>

In the absence of other soldiers, Horn Bearers fought similarly to [[guard captain]]s, swinging their maces at the enemy in the hopes of overwhelming them with their superior strength. However, this large size and heavy [[armor]]—which was noticeably weaker at the back—put them at a disadvantage against more agile opponents like the [[Assassins|Hidden One]] [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]], who was also able to use his [[Throwing knife|throwing knives]] to break the guards' horns, preventing them from summoning reinforcements.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]</ref>
