Historically, mercenaries were often hired by nations to take part in battles, or by private contractors to serve as personal protection.

	During the 15th and 16th centuries, the high number of mercenaries in cities like [[Rome]] and [[Constantinople]] led to the creation of guilds, collaborating with each other as one large group and acting under a singular leader, known in [[Italy]] as '''''{{Wiki\|Condottiero\|condottieri}}'''''. These mercenary guilds were often notable allies of the [[Assassins\|Assassin Brotherhood]], with the [[Venice\|Venetian]] ''condottiero'' [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]] serving as a prominent member of the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Italian Assassins]]. This was not an exclusive arrangement, however, as the famed ''condottiero'' [[Federico da Montefeltro]], {{wiki\|Duke of Urbino}}, at one point assaulted the Assassin stronghold of [[Monteriggioni]] under the auspices of the [[Templars]].

	The services of mercenaries were regularly employed by both the newly founded [[American Brotherhood of Assassins\|Colonial Assassins]] and their counterparts, the [[American Rite of the Templar Order\|Colonial Templars]], in the [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[British Empire\|colonies]] of continental [[Americas\|America]]. In 1754, several mercenaries hired by the Assassins stole the research notes of the Templar [[William Johnson]] that detailed the region inhabited by the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]]. They guarded these in an encampment in west [[Boston]] while the Templar soldier [[Thomas Hickey]] was tasked by Johnson to perform reconnaissance on the compound. Not long after, the Colonial Rite's new Grand Master, [[Haytham Kenway]], having just arrived from [[England]], his protegé [[Charles Lee]], and Hickey ~~infiltrated the fort~~ and retrieved the notes.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' – [[Johnson's Errand]]</ref>		The services of mercenaries were regularly employed by both the newly founded [[American Brotherhood of Assassins\|Colonial Assassins]] and their counterparts, the [[American Rite of the Templar Order\|Colonial Templars]], in the [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[British Empire\|colonies]] of continental [[Americas\|America]].

	In general, the line between mercenaries, official members, and criminals blurred for the Colonial branches of Assassins and Templars.
