Blacksmith (Animi Avatar)

"More than a mere tool, his Hammer defines the Blacksmith. He hits it hard against huge pieces of metal, making a strong and powerful sound. The Blacksmith uses the same gestures to smash his targets' heads. Funny, he often muses, the sound is quite different then..."

―Ubisoft Description

The Blacksmith (real name Auguste Oberlin) is an unlockable multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. He uses a large hammer as his primary weapon. He was a Swiss mercenary and appears in the story mode of Brotherhood as a Templar Agent. To unlock the Blacksmith, the player has to reach level 15.

Fiora Cavazza was actually shocked by him, as he gave the impression of a brute while being a very cultured man.

In 1503 Ezio Auditore saw a woman sitting on a bench in town beaten and bruised, and he asked the woman who had done this to her. She replied that her husband changed as the Borgia gave him what he wanted and instead of him posting signs for the shops, he claimed them in the name of the Borgia and hurt any who stood in his way. Ezio tore down the Borgia posters one by one until Augustine heard of this. Enraged, he found Ezio and attacked with brute force, aided by his hammer, but instead fell by the blade of the Assassin, putting his control over the neighborhood shops to an end.

Unique Moves

Backbreaker (Low Profile)

Hammer Time (High Profile)

The Blacksmith runs up behind his target. He takes out his hammer and with violent force sweeps his victim's legs out from beneath them causing them to fall backwards. He then swings the hammer onto their face smashing it in a bloody mess killing them instantly.

Drag and Smash (Bench Kill)

The Blacksmith hooks his hammer underneath the sitting victim's foot and drags them by the leg onto the floor before taking the top part of his hammer and smashing it into the victim's face.

Trivia

• It is revealed in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy that the Blacksmith crafted nearly all of the weapons used by the other multiplayer characters, including that of the Executioner, the Harlequin, the Priest and the Barber.
• In Shaun's database, it states that the Blacksmith is a Swiss mercenary.
• The Blacksmith never receives an armguard or sleeve of somekind on his left arm to attach a hidden gun, so if the hidden gun is equipped on him, it will appear as if it is internally attached to his skin.
• Even though the multiplayer character, his database picture, promotional artwork, and his profession all have/use hammers, he fights with a bearded axe against Ezio in the single player templar assignment.
