Brigand

The Brigand

The Brigand (harvested from: Samila Khadim) was an Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries to train the recruits in the second stage of their Animi Training Program, available after a system update. She traded in relics and secrets, earning her wealth by serving the Templar cause, and used a spear as her specialty weapon.

Unique moves

The Brigand had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Front)

Casually approaching her target, the Brigand retrieves her spear from her back and, before they can defend themselves, impales her victim in the stomach. She then wrenches it upwards, opening the newly inflicted wound further. Withdrawing her spear, the Brigand watches her victim slump to the floor as she stores her weapon at her back.

(Low Profile, Back)

Quietly walking up behind her target, the Brigand unsheathes her spear, before suddenly slashing the bladed tip across the back of their shoulder blades twice. Following her attack through, the Brigand brutally impales her spear into her victim's back, stabbing through their heart from behind and killing them instantly.

(High Profile, Front)

Rushing up to her target, the Brigand grabs her spear, before cruelly stabbing it through their neck, rooting them to the spot. With her victim slowly choking on their blood, she raises her right leg above the spear and then savagely slams her foot down on the spear's shaft, slashing its head down through her target's chest and killing them, with their body spinning to the floor below.

(High Profile, Back)

Running up behind her target, the Brigand takes out her spear and stabs them in the upper back. As her target keels over, she leaps into the air, pole vaulting over her victim with her weapon and causing them to bend over further. Cruelly, she twists her spear free of their flesh as she flies over their right shoulder, with the force of her vault sending her target to the floor, dying of blood loss.

(Bench Kill)

Grabbing her seated target's foot, the Brigand 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)

Leaping from above, the Brigand withdraws her spear in mid-air and skillfully lands on top of her helpless target. Using gravity to aid her, the Brigand takes her weapon and jams it into her victim's chest, piercing their heart and killing them instantly. Pulling her spear loose, she stores it away and leaves her target dead on the floor.
