	When first introduced in ''Brotherhood'', the Dagger of Brutus was presented as an heirloom that Brutus used to assassinate Caesar. However, this was {{Wiki\|retcon}}ned in the [[Assassin's Creed: Origins (comic)\|comic follow up]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'', where the dagger is a gift from Amunet to Brutus after the assassination has taken place. It was later retconned again in the [[Assassin's Creed: The Official Collection]] to be the same dagger used in the assassination but afterwards broken and reforged by Amunet.

	In ''Brotherhood'', whenever Ezio wields the Dagger of Brutus, enemy [[morale]] is reduced by 20 points, which means that lower-ranked [[Soldier\|guards]] and [[crossbowman\|crossbowmen]] will flee after the death of only one regular guard. Also of note is that the dagger's kill animations are unique, being more brutal and violent than other short bladed weapons in the same game. One of the unique animations involves Ezio stabbing the target in a frenzy as an allusion to Julius Caesar's assassination.
