	'''~~Handcannon guards~~''' ~~were heavily-armed~~ [[~~guards~~]] ~~during~~ the [[Ming dynasty]]. They ~~wielded~~ a ~~large and lethal~~ [[~~Hand cannon~~\|~~hand cannon~~]].		A '''handcannon guard''' was [[soldier]] of the [[Ming dynasty]] armed with a type of early [[firearm]] known as the hand cannon. They were a significant unit in the security detail of the [[Eight Tigers]], a group of eunuchs who led the [[Shanghai Rite of the Templar Order\|Chinese Rite]] of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]].

The team tracked their queries from [[China]] all the way to [[Italy]]. In [[Venice]], they managed to kill Jiuyuan, but his pupil survived to meet the retired Assassin [[Mentor]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] at his villa in [[Tuscany]], where she hoped to undergo further training. The Templars launched a surprise attack on the villa at night, during which the handcannon guard took aim at Shao Jun while she was distracted from killing one of his squadmate. Ezio noticed this in time and pushed her out of the way of the blast. They then leapt out a window to take the fight outside the house. Although the hand cannon demonstrated fortitude by continuing to fight even after Ezio stabbed his eye with a [[short blade]], he rushed headlong into his foe's sword after trying to pin him to a tree with his body.<ref name="Embers">''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers]]''</ref>
