	*The gangs in ~~New York during~~ the ~~Seven Years War have~~ their ~~own variant of~~ grenadiers ~~that are recognizable with~~ their ~~orange clothes and have top hats~~. ~~The design~~ of the ~~hats~~, ~~however~~, ~~was anachronistic since top hats~~ were ~~not in fashion until the 1850'~~s.		During the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], grenadiers were common in the [[Caribbean]], being employed by the [[British Empire\|British]], [[Spanish Empire\|Spanish]], and [[Portuguese Empire\|Portuguese Empires]]. They were commonly stationed on [[ship]]s or were found inside major cities like [[Havana]] and [[Kingston]], patrolling the streets or protecting high-value locations alongside their fellow guards. Certain [[privateer]] and [[Bounty hunter\|pirate hunter]] crews also counted grenadiers among their ranks.<ref name="AC4"/>
	*French grenadiers in '~~'Rogue'' share a similar design of British Grenadiers~~ in ~~''Black Flag''~~, ~~albeit with~~ a ~~different color scheme while those~~ of the ~~British resemble those~~ of ''Assassin's Creed''.
			In 1725, grenadiers serving the [[East India Company]] were used by the [[Templars\|Templar]] [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Alan Jacob]] in his search for an [[Isu]] [[Temple (Isu)\|temple]] in [[Cambodia]]. These grenadiers were noticeably much less muscular than those found in the Caribbean, wore metal chestplates and helmets, and were armed with [[musket]]s instead of melee weapons. During the Templars' efforts to access the [[Forgotten Temple (Isu)\|Forgotten Temple]] in [[Angkor]], [[John Young]] led a troop of grenadiers to [[raid]] the complex and retrieve its [[Piece of Eden]] before either the [[Zhawang Corporation\|Zhang Wei Union]] or [[Lee Huiyin\|Madam Lee]] and her allies could.<ref name="FT 121">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 121\|Episode 121]]</ref>

			During the [[Seven Years' War]] between [[United Kingdom\|Britain]] and [[France]], grenadiers were employed on both sides of the conflict. The Assassin-affiliated [[gang]]s of [[New York City\|New York]] also had their own grenadiers, easily recognizable by their long coats and top hats.<ref name="ACRG"/> Grenadiers continued to see usage until the end of the century, and were one of the most common units utilized by both the [[British Army\|British]] and [[Continental Army\|Continental Armies]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]], with most soldier patrols including at least one or two grenadiers.<ref name="AC3"/>

	Grenadiers is an enemy ~~type~~ first introduced in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''. Historically they would be armed with a musket, bayonet, and hand grenades, hence the name "grenadier". ~~As such the~~ design used in game ~~appeares~~ to be inspired by a number of different units and infantry ~~type~~.

Grenadiers are an enemy archetype first introduced in the 2012 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''. Historically, they would have been armed with a musket, [[bayonet]], and hand grenades, hence the name "grenadier". The design used in the game appears to be inspired by a number of different units and infantry types instead. The kilts and accents indicate the {{Wiki\|42nd Regiment of Foot\|Scottish 42nd Royal Highlanders}}, a regiment of line infantry who historically participated in the American Revolutionary War. The axes and beards, meanwhile, are taken from {{wiki\|Pioneer (military)\|pioneers}}, a unit often attached to grenadier units. However, the presence of the beard is anachronistic as it was not adopted by the British Army until after the [[Napoleonic Wars]].

			French grenadiers in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' share a similar design with the British grenadiers in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'', albeit with a different color scheme. The gang grenadiers have a unique design, although their top hats are anachronistic as this style of hat did not become popular until the mid-19th century.

	*The grenadiers resemble {{Wiki\|Pioneer (military)\|pioneers}}, a military unit whose tasks are specifically for construction and engineering, rather than actual grenadiers, who were used as elite troops to storm enemy battlements and fortifications. Each regiment in the British army contained at least one company of grenadiers who were often issued with tall caps so that they could throw grenades. Inevitably, larger men could throw grenades further, so grenadiers were usually very large. However, as grenades fell out of fashion, grenadiers simply became shock troops, equipped like any other soldier.
