	The social stealth engine of the Animus 2.0 differed from its predecessor, which allowed additional features to be monitored. The Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio Auditore]] was able to blend into any crowds, bribe [[herald]]s, and either hire [[courtesan]]s or [[Thief\|thieves]] to distract specific targets. He could pickpocket civilians for [[florin]]s, and ran the risk of being [[Civilian#Pickpockets\|pickpocketed]] himself. Ezio was able to hide in carts of hay, flower petals, and autumn leaves, and dive underwater to escape from pursuers. Doing so, however, was not necessarily an effective form of escape since [[Seekers]] could search for Ezio in hiding spots. Evading guards was far easier since Ezio was able to leave a hiding spot at any time.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref><ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>		The social stealth engine of the Animus 2.0 differed from its predecessor, which allowed additional features to be monitored.

	Finally, at level three notoriety, the [[Jäger]] forces would be introduced and would actively search for him. Following this, guards would attack Ratonhnhaké:ton on sight, and the commotion would usually attract a large number of guards and Jäger soldiers.

	Ratonhnhaké:ton could reduce his notoriety in [[Boston]] and [[New York City\|New York]] to incognito by tearing down wanted posters, or through bribing [[town crier]]s and [[printer]]s. Hovever, unlike Ezio, it was impossible to Ratonhnhaké:ton to retrieve the bribe from the crier by pickpocketing him. Additionally, Ratonhnhaké:ton was unable to reduce notoriety in the [[Frontier]], where soldiers would constantly attack him; he was only incognito in the area belonging to the [[Continental Army]] at [[Valley Forge]], or in [[forts]] he had captured for them.<ref~~>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''<~~/~~ref~~>		Ratonhnhaké:ton could reduce his notoriety in [[Boston]] and [[New York City\|New York]] to incognito by tearing down wanted posters, or through bribing [[town crier]]s and [[printer]]s.

	Another addition to the social stealth engine of the Animus 3.0 was Ratonhnhaké:ton's ability to blend with any group of civilians. This was common by market stalls, leaning against walls or boxes, sitting on benches, and sometimes on the ground in an alley. From there, as a guard approached, Ratonhnhaké:ton could assassinate from these spots, performing an environmental kill.

	For the Assassin [[Aveline de Grandpré]], notoriety was raised individually for each of her three personas, with the Assassin persona having a minimum level one notoriety status.

	~~==Stealth Movement==~~
	The stealth movement not all Assassins even know how to do it, that's the case even for great Assassins of all time like [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] or the grandfather of this last [[Edward Kenway]] . Other individuals such as [[Aito]], the Frye twins, [[Arno Dorian]], [[Kassandra]], [[Bayek]] or even individuals who have never been part of the [[Assassins Brotherhood]] or the who have been precursors of it, as is the case of [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]. The fact is that this ability consists of walking crouched down and without as much noise as possible, it is essentially vital to carry out this act that the enemies do not detect the executor of this type of stealth, or at least the individual can do that action again if you manage scyve them.
