	During the Renaissance in the Italian peninsula some assassins like [[Lo Sparviero]] were typed as Berserker, Shadowblade, Trickster, Thief, or some dual combination there of. Berserkers focused on attack and defense, using heavy damage to stun, knock over, and shred armor of multiple opponents at a time, and were equipped with [[splinter bomb]]s to cause bleeding. Shadowblades were masters of stealth, able to remain incognito for longer periods while under scrutiny, using throwing knives to silence and blind enemies or deal precision strikes, and smokbombs to extricate themselves from battle. Trickster were skilled in guile and creating diversions, able to disguise themselves as guards, lure or distract targets with whistling or coins, and employed [[Sticky bomb casing\|sticky bombs]] and the explosive [[jack in the box]] to kill from a distance. Thieves were adept pickpocket who used sand and fast strikes to blind and overwhelm opponents, relied on precision and agility to reduce noteriety and fall damage, and set [[Trip-wire bomb casing\|trip-wire bombs]] to frighten and cause bleeding.<ref>[[Assassin's Creed: Identity\|''Assassin's Creed: Identity'']]</ref>		During the Renaissance in the Italian peninsula some assassins like [[Lo Sparviero]] were typed as Berserker, Shadowblade, Trickster, Thief, or some dual combination there of.

	*In the High Middle Ages, an Assassin would prove one's target had been slain by dipping a white feather in their target's blood. This practice had fallen out of use by the Renaissance, but appeared to have been revived by the Victorian Era. Both [[Jacob Frye\|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] engaged in the practice, though they used white handkerchiefs rather than feathers.		*In the High Middle Ages, an Assassin would prove one's target had been slain by dipping a white feather in their target's blood.

	**Historically, the ''Hashashin'' were a sect of radical Persian Shia Muslims who, under Hassan-i Sabbāh, were said to be given a drug called hashish, under the influence of which they experienced "the Garden of Paradise". In exchange, they were expected to murder Sabbah's religious and political rivals, and due to the euphoria they experienced as an effect of the drug, they became unwaveringly loyal to Sabbah.		**Historically, the ''Hashashin'' were a sect of radical Persian Shia Muslims who, under Hassan-i Sabbāh, were said to be given a drug called hashish, under the influence of which they experienced "the Garden of Paradise".
