	During the Third Crusade, vigilante groups in the cities of [[Damascus]], [[Acre]], and [[Jerusalem]] usually comprised men who opposed the local governance of their cities. They were those individuals who openly stood up to guards or whose friends and relatives found themselves in trouble with the authorities. As such, their interests tended to align with the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine Brotherhood]] of Assassins. Assassins such as [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] frequently went out of their way to rescue civilians harassed by guards, and in gratitude, these citizens' families and friends would pledge to protect him in turn at their own peril.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>		During the Third Crusade, vigilante groups in the cities of [[Damascus]], [[Acre]], and [[Jerusalem]] usually comprised men who opposed the local governance of their cities.

	Although they were always unarmed, these vigilantes never hesitated to impede the pursuit of guards by intercepting them and holding them back by the arms. This allowed an Assassin such as Altaïr to either make his escape, dispose of his pursuers, or assassinate his target. The vigilantes' assistance was not restricted to only the Assassins though; in 1191, vigilantes at the southeast entrance of the [[Souk Al-Silaah]] in Damascus aided the escape of a thief who stole from a [[~~merchants\|~~merchant]]. Because they gathered at regular spots, Altaïr discovered by [[eavesdropping]] on this thief that this specific group of vigilantes could serve as a means of escape after his assassination of the [[Templars\|Templar]] black arms dealer [[Tamir]] at the souk.<ref ~~name="AC"~~ />		Although they were always unarmed, these vigilantes never hesitated to impede the pursuit of guards by intercepting them and holding them back by the arms.

	Vigilantes during this period typically donned uniform attire.

	During the [[American Revolutionary War]], vigilantes lent their assistance to the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], better known as Connor. Vigilantism by this period had remained largely unchanged throughout the centuries; vigilantes continued to impede pursuers of the Assassins whenever the chase passed before them or otherwise they would hide Connor from his enemies. As with their Roman counterparts in the Renaissance, they became more prevalent as the Assassins eroded Templar influence in the colonies, giving them the freedom to congregate. While vulnerable to dispersal under force by soldiers, they would most often not hesitate to return to the same area once conflict had ended.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>		During the [[American Revolutionary War]], vigilantes lent their assistance to the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], better known as Connor.

	Along with ordinary vigilantes, rioters were also widely prevalent in [[Boston]] and [[New York City]] ~~during this period~~, fanning the flames of the [[American Revolution]] by stirring up crowds of civilians. Their commotions were a distraction for [[British Army\|British soldiers]] and allowed Connor to slip by without notice. In other cases, in the absence of an active riot, Connor would even command his apprentice [[Stephane Chapheau]] to spark one himself if a diversion was needed.<ref name="AC3"/>		[[File:AC3 Vigilantes.png\|thumb\|250px\|left\|Haytham by a group of vigilantes in Boston]]

	Stephane's penchant for riots was first witnessed by Connor on 6 December 1773 when the Frenchman fought back against British tax collectors and then went on a rampage through the streets murdering British soldiers on sight.

	As the moderate revolutionaries were invariably allies of the [[Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins]], their presence in a district of [[Paris]] weighed on the hold of the Assassins over that area. The presence of these moderates, for example, steadily increased throughout the Revolution as the Assassin [[Arno Dorian]] accomplished more and more assignments for the [[Assassin Council]], dissolving Templar control of the city.
