Corsair

The Corsair

The Corsair (harvested from: Eveline Guerra) was an Animi Avatar in the second stage of the Animi Training Program, used by Abstergo Industries to train their recruits. She was only available through a system update, and she wielded a thin, shortened cutlass as her specialty weapon.

Unique moves

The Corsair had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Front)

Stealthily approaching her target, the Corsair swiftly unsheathes her cutlass. Before her target can stop her, she stabs their stomach, causing them to lean forward. Afterwards, she viciously twists the blade and kneels in the same movement, keenly freeing her sword and causing her victim to collapse backwards, bleeding to death.

(Low Profile, Back)

Casually walking up behind her target, the Corsairs withdraws her sword and slashes the blade diagonally across their back, causing her victim to suddenly lurch backwards. From there, she skillfully spins the weapon in her hand and stabs it up into their back, impaling their heart and killing them. The Corsair then withdraws her cutlass and watches her contract collapse, dead.

(High Profile, Front)

Rushing headlong towards her target, the Corsair runs up their front acrobatically. When she reaches their head, she savagely kicks them in the face, causing them to spin as she skillfully lands on the floor. With her contract's back to her, the Corsair withdraws her cutlass and slashes down their spine with precision, severing the nerves all the way down and killing them instantaneously.

(High Profile, Back)

Forgoing stealth, the Corsair runs up behind her target and pushes them down, whilst jumping over them. She then turns and unsheathes her cutlass as her contract looks up, before impaling her victim's stomach with her sword. As they look at her in shock, she headbutts them cruelly, freeing her blade and knocking them on their back. Following this, the Corsair sheathes her sword as her target bleeds to death, feebly holding their wound.

(Bench Kill)

Grabbing her seated target's foot, the Corsair drags them off the bench until their head rests against it. Before her victim can do anything to defend themselves, she forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking her target's neck on the bench behind them.

(Aerial Kill)

Having spotted her target, the Corsair leaps from above and withdraws her cutlass in midair. She then lands on her victim and precisely stabs their heart with her sword, killing them, before she pulls out her sword and sheathes it, leaving her contract dead on the floor.
