'''''Naffatah''''' was the name given to a class of [[soldier]]s employed by the [[Abbasid Caliphate]] during the 9th century, who specialized in the use of incendiary weapons.

==Description==
Carrying a container filled with highly flammable [[Greek fire]] and siphons to unleash the substance onto their enemies, ''Naffatah'' soldiers were essentially equipped with an early {{Wiki|flamethrower}} that they put to deadly use against dissidents and enemies of the Caliphate. In addition to their flamethrowers, these elite guards also carried incendiary [[bomb]]s that they would throw at their targets.<ref name="DB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Database: Naffatah]]</ref>

Despite their advanced equipment, however, ''Naffatah'' soldiers also had one notable weakness. The containers on their backs were not well-protected and the Greek fire inside could be easily ignited by a well-placed projectile, such as a [[throwing knife]], resulting in the guard's fiery demise.<ref name="DB"/> As a result, ''Naffatah'' soldiers were not deployed on the battlefield and were mostly assigned to guard high-value locations in [[Baghdad]], such as the [[The Great Garrison|Great Garrison]] and the [[Confiscation Warehouse]].<ref name="ACMir">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]''</ref>
