A male elk

The deer family, or cervidae, are a group of hoofed mammals found in Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa, that notably includes the larger elk species.

History[edit | edit source]

5th century BCE[edit | edit source]

In the 5th century BCE deer inhabited the wilds of Greece. Their antlers were valued at 9 drachmae per pair.[1] Of special note among the deer was the Hind of Keryneia, who roamed the forests of Artemision Point in Euboea, until the Spartan misthios Kassandra hunted it down and slew it.[2]

16th century[edit | edit source]

In late 1500, Rodrigo Borgia was charged by a stag during a hunting trip.[3]

During Japan's Sengoku period, the Japanese Assassin Fujibayashi Naoe could make sumi-e paintings of sika deer.[4]

18th century[edit | edit source]

In 1725, while in Macau, the British Assassin Edward Kenway hunted a deer in the forest near Zhang's village and used its legs as bait to lure and kill two alligators.[5]

Deer were common in River Valley and Glace Bay during the Seven Years' War. The Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac hunted deer often for crafting purposes or as part of hunting challenges.[6] The Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton was adept at hunting deer and female elk, as well as fighting male elk. During his exploration of the North American frontier, he was informed of a buck rumored to be impervious to firearms,[7] and of an overly aggressive elk.[8] He successfully hunted both animals.

20th century[edit | edit source]

Nikolai Orelov trained his son Innokenti to hunt deer. However, Innokenti found it difficult to kill the animal after shooting it, despite Nikolai's orders to end its suffering.[9]

Animus mods[edit | edit source]

In 2020, while reliving Eivor's genetic memories through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, the Assassin Layla Hassan modified the Animus interface to allow for a variety of skins to be applied to her horse:[10]
