	~~===Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood===~~
	In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', the morale system applies exactly the same for the recurring guards as it did in its prequel. Two new enemy types are introduced into the game: the [[Papal Guard]] and the Borgia Captain, both of which will never escape from combat. The death of either type of guard will result in a massive blow to the morale of surrounding enemies, more often than not leading to them fleeing from the fight.

	===~~Assassin's Creed: Revelations~~===		===Animus 2.03===

	In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', [[Janissaries]] and [[Byzantines\|Templar Den Captains]] replace the previous guard archetypes. Like the Borgia Captains, some Templar Den Captains may flee on sight and are specifically noted by the [[Animus]] tutorial.
