The '''Shaman''' (harvested from: '''[[Dakodonou]]''') was an Animi Avatar used by the [[Abstergo Entertainment|entertainment branch]] of [[Abstergo Industries]], as part of their plan to influence the general public, via the console stage of the [[Animus]] technology. He wielded a tribal axe as his primary weapon, suitable for Vodou ceremonies.

==Unique Moves==
The Shaman had several unique moves:

'''''(Low Profile, Front)'''''

Facing his target, the Shaman pulls out his axe and butts its head into their stomach, winding them, which makes them bend over. After this, he swings the weapon down at his victim's exposed back, severing their spine and subsequently killing them. Following this, he then removes his axe as he watches them collapse backwards.

'''''(Low Profile, Back)'''''

Behind his target, the Shaman takes out his axe and embeds it into the right of their hip, making them recoil in agony, before he removes his weapon and strikes down hard in between their shoulder blades. Driving his victim to their knees, he lets them collapse as he sheathes his weapon.

'''''(High Profile, Front)'''''

Facing his target, the Shaman takes ahold of his axe and swiftly slices it across their neck, causing them to spin around. He then quickly follows up on this attack by embedding his weapon into his wounded victim's side and roughly pulls it free again, yanking them to the ground where they die of blood loss.

'''''(High Profile, Back)'''''

Behind his target, the Shaman grabs his axe and acrobatically jumps upwards, before brutally embedding his weapon in his victim's back. Using the force of the blow, he pushes them down to the ground and then roughly pulls his axe free, before storing it at his waist.

'''''(Personal High Profile, Front)'''''

Upon reaching his target, the Shaman takes his tribal axe in hand and swings it deep into their shoulder crevice. As his victim stares at him in shock, the Shaman unsheathes his hidden blade to penetrate their chest and violently rip out their heart. Gazing down at his bloodstained hand, the Shaman removes his weapon from his victim's shoulder and carelessly leaves their body to crumple to the ground.

'''''(Personal High Profile, Back)'''''

Sprinting behind his target, the Shaman seizes them by the base of the neck and yanks them backward, exposing their chest to attack. He then delivers two swift chops to their upper abdomen with the edge of his axe. The force of the blows push his target further backward and the Shaman releases them after the second attack, allowing the heavily wounded victim to collapse to the ground.

'''''(Aerial Kill)'''''

Jumping down from above, the Shaman pounces onto his target with his axe, before he brutally smashes it into their head, killing them instantly. Following this, he gets up and hastily yanks his weapon out, leaving their body on the ground where it lays.

'''''(Bench Kill)'''''

Grabbing his seated target's foot, the Shaman drags them off the bench until their head rests against it. Before his victim can do anything to defend themselves, he forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking his target's neck on the bench behind them.

==Taunts==
*"''You are weak!''"
*"''It is done!''"
*"''For a better tomorrow!''"
*"''Greed will get you nowhere!''"
*"''You have been released!''"

==Trivia==
*The Shaman shares his first taunt animation with the [[Renegade]] and his second with the [[Coyote Man]].
*The Shaman shares his war paints and tattoos with the [[Jaguar]].
*The Shaman's Personal High Profile kill, wherein he rips out his target's heart, is the only one to date in the multiplayer to feature explicit gore.
**It is also the first High Profile animation that utilizes a hidden blade, as one would normally be used exclusively in Silent animations.
