This particular form of movement was utilized primarily by members of the [[Assassins\|Assassin Order]], and was a vital asset both during and after assassinations. Over time, Assassins would also use a series of tools to supplement their climbing and freerunning abilities. Other than the Assassins, several factions were also known to be adept freerunners, including [[Agile guards]], [[Thieves]], [[Borgia messengers]], [[Papal Guard\|Papal guards]], [[Followers of Romulus]], and [[Janissaries]]. Additionally, freerunning was integrated into the [[Animi Training Program]], in order for Abstergo recruits to mimic the skills learned predominantly by Assassins in history.

	*Though referred to as "freerunning" throughout the [[Assassin's Creed (series)\|''Assassin's Creed'' series]], the Assassins' focus on speed and efficiency, rather than creativity, more closely resembles standard {{Wiki\|Parkour}}.
	*There was a bug present in most installments of the series, where [[civilians]] in certain areas or circumstances were able to perform freerunning movements.		*There was a bug present in most installments of the series, where [[civilians]] in certain areas or circumstances were able to perform freerunning movements.

A few Templars have also proven to be good freerunners, such as [[Francesco de' Pazzi]], [[Haytham Kenway]] and ex-Assassin [[Shay Cormac]].
	*Freerunning puzzles have become a mainstay in the series since ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', coming in the form of [[Assassin Tombs]], [[Secret location\|Templar Lairs]], [[Lair of Romulus\|Lairs of Romulus]], [[Memory Seals\|Memory Seal]] locations, the locations for pieces of [[William Kidd\|Captain Kidd's]] [[Rings of Eden\|treasure]] map, and [[Tombs of the Fallen]].		*Freerunning puzzles have become a mainstay in the series since ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', coming in the form of [[Assassin Tombs]], [[Secret location\|Templar Lairs]], [[Lair of Romulus\|Lairs of Romulus]], [[Memory Seals\|Memory Seal]] locations, the locations for pieces of [[William Kidd\|Captain Kidd's]] [[Rings of Eden\|treasure]] map, and [[Tombs of the Fallen]].
