Barber

"There's nothing like a nice day at work for the Barber: Whistle a catchy tune, place yourself behind your client, adjust his chair to the perfect height, gently pass your hand under his chin, pull back his head, slowly take out your Razor and slit his throat."

―Uplay Slideshow description.

The Barber (real name: Baltasar de Silva) was an Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries to train the recruits in their Animi Training Program. He used a sharp razor as his weapon.

Unique Moves

The Barber had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Back)

The Barber approaches his target from behind and places one of his hands down hard on their shoulder, forcing them onto their knees. Holding their chin upwards, he exposes their neck, before taking out his razor and slicing his target's throat. From there, his victim falls forward to the ground, dying of blood loss from their wound.

(Low Profile, Front)

As the Barber walks towards his target, he swiftly pulls out his razor from his belt and flicks it open, using the momentum to slash them across their neck, before bringing his razor back rapidly and cutting open his victim's jugular, leading them to choke on their own blood.

(High Profile, Back)

While maintaining his balance, the Barber slides along the floor from behind his target with his razor in hand, slicing the crevice behind their knee in the process and making his way around to the front of them. Twisting around rather swiftly, he delivers a lethal slash with his razor to his victim's neck, sending them spinning as they try to stem the bleeding. It is too late however, and his target collapses to the floor, dead.

(High Profile, Front)

The Barber rushes towards his target as he draws his razor from its sheath, before slashing at their torso violently. Afterwards, he brings his razor back and slices upward into his victim's throat, while they are too shocked to move, sending them spinning to the floor in the process and leaving them to bleed to death.

(Bench Kill)

The Barber walks up to his seated target and grabs them by their head, before lifting them slightly off the bench. While his victim is standing with their knees bent, the Barber takes out his razor and slashes them forcefully across their neck, sending his target falling to the ground with their jugular sliced after he releases his grip.

(Aerial Kill)

The Barber leaps from a rooftop and lands on top of his target, before grabbing his victim's head and slashing them across their neck. Afterwards, he folds his razor away as he stands up, leaving his victim on the floor to die from blood loss.

Trivia

• The Barber bears a certain resemblance to Johnny Depp's portrayal of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. They both kill people with straight razors, and have black hair with streaks of white in them.
• He also bears a striking resemblance to Gangs of New York's Bill "The Butcher" Cutting.
• He is always the target the player must kill in the Introductory Session in Brotherhood's multiplayer, therefore he is the only character you can't play as in the session.
