This article is about the Animi avatar. You may be looking for the faction.

"As beautiful as she is lethal, the Courtesan is most commonly known for her ability to set upon her quarry long before they are aware they are even being hunted. She is capable of maintaining a low profile despite her otherwise note-worthy appearance due to her apparent choice of occupation."

―Description of the Courtesan.

The Courtesan (harvested from: Fiora Cavazza & Fabiola Cavazza) was an Animi Avatar, used by Abstergo Industries to train the recruits in the first and second stage of their Animi Training Program. She wielded a bladed fan as her primary weapon, and was capable of killing by unfolding it or clasping it as a dagger.

Unique moves[edit | edit source]

The Courtesan had several unique moves:

(First Low Profile, Front)

Casually walking up to her target, the Courtesan suddenly springs up onto her tiptoes with surprising force. She then uses this momentum to open up her bladed fan and rapidly slices her victim's throat, following which they collapse to the ground, choking on their own blood.

(Second Low Profile, Front)

Stealthily approaching her target from the front, the Courtesan savagely kicks their left leg. As they clutch their injured limb, she reaches for her bladed fan, still folded, and then slashes her victim across the side of the abdomen with the fan's spine. The Courtesan then swiftly follows up this attack by impaling her target's spine with her weapon, before storing it as they collapse, paralysed and bleeding out.

(First Low Profile, Back)

Quietly nearing her target from behind, the Courtesan reaches for her bladed fan, though they notice her presence and look over their shoulder towards her. She then takes the opportunity to pull out her weapon and rapidly slash her victim's throat, sending them twirling to the ground, before putting her fan back at her waist.

(Second Low Profile, Back)

Quietly sneaking up to her unsuspecting target, the Courtesan suddenly and viciously stabs them in the back with her folded fan's spine. Before her victim can react in any way, she spins and slashes the newly inflicted wound, severing their spine at the same time. She then puts away her fan, satisfied that her target is dead.

(High Profile, Front)

Dashing towards her target from the front, the Courtesan leaps upward, spinning in the air like a pirouette, while taking out her bladed fan and slashing their throat. She then lands daintily on her feet and restores her fan to its holder, while her victim's dead body lies on the floor.

(High Profile, Back)

Sprinting up to her target from behind, the Courtesan rolls over their back with her legs extended in the air, before landing on her knees in front of them. Then, while her victim is still dazed, she whips out her bladed fan and severs their neck to the bone, before calmly returning her fan to its holster and walking away.

(First Bench Kill)

Innocuously approaching her seated target, the Courtesan tilts their face up by the chin and stares almost sensuously into their eyes, before suddenly taking her bladed fan and slashing them across the neck. Her victim stands and grasps at their throat to stop the bleeding, but by then it is already too late, with their dead body collapsing to the ground.

(Second Bench Kill)

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

(First Aerial Kill)

Pouncing on her target from above, the Courtesan skillfully lands on them to cushion her fall. After this, she unfolds her bladed fan, before bringing it back around to slash at their neck. The Courtesan then retracts her fan to store it back in its holster, walking away and leaving her victim to die from the fatal wound.

(Second Aerial Kill)

Leaping from above, the Courtesan takes out her folded fan, before landing onto her target and embedding her fan's spine into the side of their head. She then removes her weapon from her victim's skull and stands up, storing it at her waist.

Taunts[edit | edit source]

"Huh? Let me tell you a secret!"
"You hideous creature!"
"Ah! Lovers' quarrel!"

Customization[edit | edit source]

First stage[edit | edit source]

The Courtesan could be customized in several ways:

Colors:

Basic: White.
Extra 1: Pink.
Extra 2: Teal blue.
Extra 3: Black.

Gear:

Advanced: Added laces on her chest, with black straps on her right leg, and a shackle bracelet on her right wrist.
Superior: An added Renaissance mask with a flower hairpiece, and a tied ribbon necklace.
Elite: All pink sections of her clothing and gloves were changed to black, aside from a pink stripe down the bottom of her robes.

Second stage[edit | edit source]

In the second stage of the Animi Training Program, the Courtesan was not customizable, alongside the Ottoman Doctor, the Ottoman Jester and the Knight.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Courtesan could only be unlocked in the second stage if any amount of experience was earned in the first stage of the Animi Training Program.
In the console stage of Abstergo Entertainment's Animus technology, parts of the Courtesan's initial customization pieces were added as a costume for the Lady Maverick. Accompanying this, an additional title, emblem and relic were awarded alongside the costume, for those who had took part in the Animi Training Program's first stage.

+The '''Courtesan''' (harvested from: [[Fiora Cavazza]] & [[Fabiola Cavazza]]) was an Animi Avatar, used by [[Abstergo Industries]] to train the recruits in the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|first]] and [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|second stage]] of their [[Animi Training Program]]. She wielded a bladed fan as her primary weapon, and was capable of killing by unfolding it or clasping it as a dagger.

+==Unique moves==
+The Courtesan had several unique moves:
-Fiora Cavazza, also known as the '''Courtesan''', is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. She uses a as her primary weapon. Her abilities include [[Smoke Bombs]], the Power Ride, the [[Multiplayer Abilities#Morph]] and the [[Pistol]]. She differs from the [[Courtesans|courtesans]] seen in ''Assassin's Creed II'', most notably by her different outfit and hairstyle.
+'''''(First Low Profile, Front)'''''
-She is the subject of a chapter in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', where much of her back story is revealed. She began as a simple courtesan in the ''Rosa in''[[File:Zw-thecourtesan.png|left|thumb|180px|The Courtesan]]'' Fiore'' brothel until a twist of fate led her into the employ of [[Cesare Borgia]].
+Casually walking up to her target, the Courtesan suddenly springs up onto her tiptoes with surprising force. She then uses this momentum to open up her bladed fan and rapidly slices her victim's throat, following which they collapse to the ground, choking on their own blood.
-She served him for over six years, and played with him in [[Rome]]. During her assignments, she came in contact with all of the other multiplayer personas, and interacted with them in different ways. Additionally, in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Ascendance]]'', it is revealed that she killed Cesare's older brother, [[Juan Borgia the Younger|Juan Borgia]] for him.
+'''''(Second Low Profile, Front)'''''
-Eventually Fiora grew sick of her employer, especially after a visit from [[Doctor (multiplayer character)|Malfatto]] in which he attemped to kill her (although he did not injest her with poison). She decided to seek aid from the Brotherhood of [[Assassins]], and was surprised to find the budding painter, [[Francesco Vecellio]], one of them. Together, they managed to assassinate [[Mercenary (multiplayer character)|Rocco Tiepolo]], [[Harlequin|Cahin]], [[Hellequin|Caha]], [[Barber|Baltasar de Silva]], and his twisted creation, [[Prowler|Il Lupo]].
+Stealthily approaching her target from the front, the Courtesan savagely kicks their left leg. As they clutch their injured limb, she reaches for her bladed fan, still folded, and then slashes her victim across the side of the abdomen with the fan's spine. The Courtesan then swiftly follows up this attack by impaling her target's spine with her weapon, before storing it as they collapse, paralysed and bleeding out.
-==Life in the Rosa in Fiore==
+'''''(First Low Profile, Back)'''''
-<p style="text-align:center">''"I am a fine wine served in a low class tavern"''</p>
-Fiora once worked in the [[Rosa In Fiore]] Brothel under Madame Solari, who was a traitress to the Assassins, feeding the Templars Assassin secrets. The Rosa In Fiore was popular with the clergy and the more powerful he was, the more girls allowed in the room. Many of the clientele where described as disgusting, among them was [[Priest (Brotherhood multiplayer character)|Brother Ristoro]], a monk with a rather rapacious sexual appetite with a particular liking for Fiora, who disliked him.
+Quietly nearing her target from behind, the Courtesan reaches for her bladed fan, though they notice her presence and look over their shoulder towards her. She then takes the opportunity to pull out her weapon and rapidly slash her victim's throat, sending them twirling to the ground, before putting her fan back at her waist.
-Madame Solari often pressured her girls into making connections, Fiora wished to make a powerful client which would allow her to leave the Rosa in Fiore, presumably to work independently or live as a kept woman. The pressures of prostitution also worried Fiora, particularly sailors playing in foreign lands picking up exotic diseases, especially since Madame Solari was quick to expel girls from the brothel if they showed any symptoms.
+'''''(Second Low Profile, Back)'''''
-It wasn't until the Jubilee of 1500 that she made the allies she desired, among them an ambassador, a man claiming to be a prince, a Florentine banker and a mysterious man with much insight into Italian political circles. Upon making such allies, the other girls where jealous.
+Quietly sneaking up to her unsuspecting target, the Courtesan suddenly and viciously stabs them in the back with her folded fan's spine. Before her victim can react in any way, she spins and slashes the newly inflicted wound, severing their spine at the same time. She then puts away her fan, satisfied that her target is dead.
-One time in the brothel that Fiora remembered was when she and another girl Lucia, had to escort Santino Solari, the brother of Madame Solari, who was a swindler in the city of Rome. Fiora at first refused because she didn't like Santino, With Fiora and Lucia on either arm, he went to make various bribes to various contacts and threats, Fiora learned he had got involved in slave trading, when he questioned her about it, he smacked her across the face, Lucia tried to defend her and recieved the same enter. Santino told them to wait in an alley while he did business. He returned to them and threatened them with a knife and threatened them not to mention anything, even though they didn't know what they had saw. He told them that his sister will know of their assisstance.
+'''''(High Profile, Front)'''''
-Not long after the event, Cesare Borgia paid a visit to the Rosa in Fiore brothel. Fiora remembers him being intoxicatingly charismatic. He questioned her about the night she and Lucia escorted Santino. She tried to hide her opinions but he reads her face and Fiora tells him what she suspects and Cesare reveals that the Solari siblings have been getting involved in enterpises that should not concern them. He asks her about any Borgia clients she may have had, she replies she has never heard the name before, he passes her test. Fiora assumed he was a customer and began to undress rather eagerly, but he stops her and asks her her ambitions, the first person ever to do so. Cesare explains the situation and in exchange for their lives, the Solari siblings must relinquish one of the girls from their employ to work for him. Cesare chose Fiora. It can be assumed that Madame Solari and Santino further offended Cesare, due to the kidnap and murder of Madame Solari by slave traders.

-Fiora left the Rosa in Fiore and moved into luxury funded by the Borgia, this time merely posing as a courtesan. She began training as a Templar under the Borgia.
+'''''(High Profile, Back)'''''
-==In the employ of Cesare Borgia==
+Sprinting up to her target from behind, the Courtesan rolls over their back with her legs extended in the air, before landing on her knees in front of them. Then, while her victim is still dazed, she whips out her bladed fan and severs their neck to the bone, before calmly returning her fan to its holster and walking away.
-<p style="text-align:center">''"I have served the Borgia for six years now. Done horrible things. Seen the fantastic. I regret none of it." ''</p>
-From 1500 to 1506, Fiora served Cesare loyally. Making many contacts among the Templars. Among them [[Priest (Brotherhood multiplayer character)|Brother Ristoro]], who supplied Cesare with various relics and Chruch documents, [[Smuggler|Lia de Russo]], a Smuggler who obtained various items for the Borgia cause, [[Blacksmith (Brotherhood's multiplayer character)|Auguste Oberlin]], Cesare's blacksmith, and [[Engineer|Gaspar de la Croix]], an pioneer of firearms.
+'''''(First Bench Kill)'''''
-Fiora had avoided Ristoro from the day she began working for Cesare Borgia. He was one of his regulars when she worked as a courtesan in the Rosa in Fiore brothel. However on one occasion, she had to go and see him in order to obtain certain items for Cesare. She had hoped after six years he would have forgotten her face, but he hadn't. He greeted her by stroking her cheek and reminding her she was always his favourite Courtesan at the Rosa in Fiore. She kicked him between the legs to teach him a lesson and threatened him with Cesare's wrath. She had brought with her a gaggle of inexperienced courtesans eager for experience. He provided her with relics and amulets that he believed would aid Cesare's caused, altough unconvinced Fiora accepted them regardless. She exaggerated Cesare's request to gain a little more money for herself, she justifies herself by describing it as "payment for having to gaze upon this wretched man. He also gave her a stack of stack of Church documents, filled with pardons and payments for Cesare's contacts. As she left he tried to grope her again, but the other girls stepped in his way, giggling as they pulled him away. Fiora almost felt sorry for them as they led him away as they "had a long night ahead of them"
+Innocuously approaching her seated target, the Courtesan tilts their face up by the chin and stares almost sensuously into their eyes, before suddenly taking her bladed fan and slashing them across the neck. Her victim stands and grasps at their throat to stop the bleeding, but by then it is already too late, with their dead body collapsing to the ground.
-Fiora would often have to go and pick up the various types of contraband, artifacts and trinkets, smuggled to Rome by the smuggler, Lia de Russo. Fiora was often amazed at how Lia obtained them, even more so baffled by why Cesare would want such random objects. Fiora often noticed how proud Lia would look, also noticing how uninterested she would look when Fiora tried to make conversation with her. Fiora would also tip her.
+'''''(Second Bench Kill)'''''
-"My my, aren't you an ox of a man?" was what Fiora Cavazza thought when she saw the blacksmith, Auguste Oberlin. She was further shocked when she heard his voice and mannerisms, that of an articulate and intelligent gentleman. He was rather welcoming and hospitable to Fiora when she visited his shop to pick up weapons he had forged, which was a stark contrast to his wife who was quick to remind Fiora that she had overstayed her welcome and demanded that she leave. Auguste would shout back at her. Fiora once noticed that they would "growl at eachother like wild dogs". Auguste urged her to visit him again and Fiora promised he would. As she left his wife scowled at her, Fiora responded with a challenging wink.
+Grabbing her seated target's foot, the Courtesan drags them off the bench until their head rests against it. Before they can do anything to defend themselves, she forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking her victim's neck on the bench behind them.
-Fiora found Gaspar de la Croix to be extremely unnerving, if not frightening. However, she did feel sorry for him as once she found him singing a sad song in French, she recognised loss in his voice and was intrigued to know what or who he had lost. Fiora would visit him to deliver payments and found his workshop uncomfortable as she could hardly move without fear of knocking one of his mysterious contraptions over. He would ask her strange and unnerving questions such as "Have you ever witnessed death?" "Is death driven by fate, chance or choice?" She wouldn't answer him. She was quick to leave, making sure her back wasn't facing the window for fear he would shoot her.

-<p style="text-align:center">''"A war has made its way to Roma, fought in the streets, the senate and the churches. Cesare has tasked me to coordinate his shadow army"''</p>
+'''''(Second Aerial Kill)'''''
-Among the various exotic agents Cesare Borgia had ordered Fiora to oversee where [[Mercenary (multiplayer character)|Rocco Tiepolo]], a seasoned mercenary captain, Donato Mancini, Cesare's finest horseman, the [[Cento Occhi]], rivals to the Assassin aligned Thieves' Guild, [[Barber (Brotherhood's multiplayer character)|Baltasar da Silva]], a master spy who masquerades as a barber, [[Harlequin|Cahin]] and [[Hellequin|Caha]], two murderous harlequins, [[Executioner (Brotherhood's multiplayer character)|Il Carnefice]], a notorious executioner, and the slippery wannabe nobleman, [[Noble|Silvestro Sabbatini]].
