	An Informer sometimes asked an allied Assassin to escort him to an exit of the city safely in exchange for information. The task consisted of accompanying the Informer along a path to a city gate and repelling any attackers before they could kill the Informer. Reaching the city's gates, the Informer provided the ally with the promised information and then left the city.<ref name="AC1"/>		An Informer sometimes asked an allied Assassin to escort him to an exit of the city safely in exchange for information.

	===Merchant ~~Stand Destruction~~===		===Merchant stand destruction===
	When deemed advantageous to [[the Creed]] or the people of the city, the Informer asked the visiting Assassin to destroy some corrupt [[merchant]] stalls. The allied Assassin could easily do this by throwing a city guard into the stall to bring it crashing down around the offending merchant's ears. A [[civilian]] could also be used, but this violated the Creed's first tenet.<ref name="AC1"/>		When deemed advantageous to [[the Creed]] or the people of the city, the Informer asked the visiting Assassin to destroy some corrupt [[merchant]] stalls.

	Similar to the aforementioned Templar assassinations, the Informer had a number of [[archer]]s between him and his objective. Scattered across the rooftops, the archers had a ~~farther~~ field of view and the ally had less to blend behind. Throwing knives from a concealed position or good footwork with the hidden blade would carry the day.

	===Rooftop ~~Races~~===		===Rooftop races===
	An Informer that did not have the information the allied Assassin needed sometimes redirected him to another Informer who did. He gave the location of the other Informer and the ally had to run through the rooftops to reach him in time.

	The Informers dressed in ankle-length robes with a headscarf and sling-pack. The robes were a tannish white with black trimming, a red sash, and leather work belt. Nationality varied among the Informers, shown by their numerous skin tones and voice prints. The Informers also differed in personality as much as origin. Some were friendly, even admiring, towards Altaïr while others were downright hostile. Informers were more likely to be admiring of Altaïr as he regained his status, showing their respect for commitment to the Order demonstrated through action and for the skill of other members.<ref name="AC1"/>		The Informers dressed in ankle-length robes with a headscarf and sling-pack.

An Informant sometimes asked an allied Assassin to escort him to an exit of the city safely in exchange for information. The task consisted of accompanying the Informant along a path to a city gate and repelling any attackers before they could kill the Informant. Reaching the city's gates, the informant provided the ally with the promised information and then left the city.<ref name="AC1"/>

	=== Merchant Stand Destruction ===		===Merchant Stand Destruction===
	When deemed advantageous to [[the Creed]] or the people of the city, the Informant asked the visiting Assassin to destroy some corrupt merchant stalls. The allied Assassin could easily do this by throwing a city guard into the stall to bring it crashing down around the offending merchant's ears. A [[~~Civilians\|~~civilian]] could also be used, but this violated the Creed's first tenet.

	=== ~~Archers~~ Assassinations ===		===Archer Assassinations===
	Similar to the aforementioned Templar assassinations, the Informant had a number of [[~~archers~~]] between him and his objective. Scattered across the rooftops, the archers had a farther field of view and the ally had less to blend behind. Throwing knives from a concealed position or good footwork with the hidden blade would carry the day. If the ally Assassin could quietly eliminate the archers and return unscathed, the Informant would be waiting with the information.

	=== Rooftops' Run ===		===Rooftops' Run===
	An Informant that did not have the information the allied Assassin needed sometimes redirected him to another Informant who did. He gave the location of the other Informant and the ally had to run through the rooftops to reach him in time. Should the Assassin arrive in time, the second Informant would have the information ready and waiting.

	== Characteristics ==		==Characteristics==
	Informants dressed in ankle-length robes with a headscarf and sling-pack. The robes were a tannish white with black trimming, a red sash, and leather work belt. Nationality varied among the Informants, shown by their numerous skin tones and voice prints. Informants also differed in personality as much as origin. Some were friendly, even admiring, towards Altaïr - others were downright hostile. Informants were more likely to be admiring of Altaïr as he regained his status, showing their respect for commitment to the Order demonstrated through action and for the skill of other members.
