	For Assassins during the [[Third Crusade]], pickpocketing was used for gathering letters or other items from informants, as well as for ~~restocking on~~ [[Throwing knife\|throwing knives]].<ref name="Altaïr's Chronicles">''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]''</ref><ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>		For Assassins during the [[Third Crusade]], pickpocketing was used for gathering letters or other items from informants, as well as for replenishing their supply of [[Throwing knife\|throwing knives]].<ref name="Altaïr's Chronicles">''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]''</ref><ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

	To pickpocket an informant, usually after [[eavesdropping]] on them and discovering what they had in their possession, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] approached ~~the target~~ quietly from behind, ~~before reaching out to slip~~ the desired item from their satchel. Should ~~he not move away from the target after they discovered the~~ theft~~, the victim often called~~ the [[guard]]s to ~~attack Altaïr~~.<ref name="Altaïr's Chronicles" /><ref name="AC" />		To pickpocket an informant, usually after [[eavesdropping]] on them and discovering what they had in their possession, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] approached his mark quietly from behind, deftly retrieving the desired item from their satchel. Should a theft be detected—or should Altaïr linger too close to his mark following a successful act—the individual's sudden realization would lead them to summon the city [[guard]]s, forcing the Assassin to either flee or defend himself.<ref name="Altaïr's Chronicles"/><ref name="AC"/>

	~~Optimally~~, ~~pickpocketing targets was only viable if they~~ were ~~moving, not facing the one targeting them~~, ~~and if they were positioned far away from any guards~~. This method ~~was also the only way~~ for Altaïr to ~~gather throwing knives~~, ~~apart from returning~~ to [[Masyaf]] or ~~visiting an~~ [[Assassin bureau]].<ref name="AC" />		To minimize the risk of detection, Altaïr typically targeted individuals who were in motion or distracted, ensuring he remained outside their field of vision. This method served as a vital means for Altaïr to replenish his weaponry while in the field, sparing him the necessity of a time-consuming return to [[Masyaf]] or a local [[Assassin bureau\|bureau]] for supplies.<ref name="AC"/>

	~~To achieve this,~~ Altaïr ~~would~~ acquire knives from certain [[thug]]s, ~~who—unlike regular~~ [[Civilian\|citizens]]~~—would engage Altaïr~~ in a [[fist]]~~fight~~ if they ~~discovered his attempt to steal from them~~.

Should they be nearby, others of their kind would often join the fray to assist. While a successful and undetected theft allowed Altaïr to secure a full supply of five blades, the chaos of a brawl typically meant he could only recover a single usable knife from a defeated opponent.<ref name="AC"/>

	Although it is widely committed illicitly by [[Thief\|thieves]] for sheer profit, it is also an important method of [[investigation\|acquiring confidential information]] as part of espionage. Accordingly, it has been a common, yet invaluable, tactic employed by the [[Assassins~~\|Assassin Brotherhood~~]] throughout ~~its~~ centuries-long [[Assassin-Templar War\|conflict]] against the [[Templars]]. While the same result may be achieved by looting the target after incapacitating or killing them, pickpocketing allows for the possibility of lethal conflict to be avoided altogether, eluding detection and preserving lives. Aside from intelligence purposes, pickpocketing is often employed to obtain keys for liberating imprisoned allies or infiltrating and escaping enemy territory.
