==Behind the scenes==
The Whistler is a reference to the whistling arrows historically invented by [[Modu|Modu Chanyu]] according to the "Biographies of the [[Xiongnu]]" in [[Sima Qian]]'s ''[[Record of the Grand Historian|Records of the Grand Historian]]''. These were arrows which emitted a whistling sound as they flew through the air and served to signal to the ''chanyu''{{'}}s [[archer]]s where to target. Modu rigorously trained and conditioned them into always releasing arrows in sync after his whistling arrow without hesitation, a tactic he ultimately used to assassinate his father [[Touman]] and usurp his position.<ref name="Sima Qian">Sima Qian.

The bow was the only bow available in the closed beta test of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Codename Jade]]''. Apart from being acquired automatically in the second mission "[[Homecoming (Jade)|Homecoming]]", the player could also loot it from enemies. Despite the description of the weapon alluding to whistling arrows, they were not a gameplay feature. Instead, the Whistler always released fire arrows.
