Bombardier

"Kadir is a strong asset to the Templars. He trades weapons and information for money and power."

―Ubisoft description.

The Bombardier

The Bombardier (real name: Kadir) was an Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries to train recruits in the second stage of their Animi Training Program. His specialty weapon was a mace.

Description

The Bombardier was a member of the Ottoman artillery corps with secret ties to the Qizilbash, a rebellious group of anti-Ottoman dissidents from the east. A skilled and conceited man, he desired power and influence, and came to feel that military service was beneath him. He maintained close and constant contact with the Templars, selling them weapons and information in exchange for money and access to powerful people.

Unique Moves

The Bombardier had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Front)

The Bombardier walks up casually to his target and grabs their throat, lifting them off of their feet. While they are choking, he unsheathes his mace and sweeps his target's legs from beneath them. As they fall to the floor, the Bombardier brings down his mace's head onto their ribs forcefully, shattering them and leaving his victim coughing up blood.

(Low Profile, Back)

The Bombardier walks up behind his target and roughly shoves them by the shoulder. When his target turns around in response, the Bombardier unsheathes his mace and smashes it hard into their face, shattering his victim's skull and killing them instantly.

(High Profile, Front)

The Bombardier runs up to his target and grabs his mace close to the head, before smashing it hard into their forehead, shattering the skull. As his victim is dying, the Bombardier lifts them up and throws them over his shoulders, slamming them into the floor, where they lay still.

(High Profile, Back)

The Bombardier runs up behind his target and brutally swings his mace into their right leg, snapping it. As they kneel and clutch their wounded limb, the Bombardier grabs his mace close to its head and mercilessly smashes it twice into the back of his victim's head. As they crumple to the floor with their head caved in, the Bombardier stores his mace back at his side.

(Bench Kill)

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

(Aerial Kill)

The Bombardier jumps from above a rooftop with his mace, landing on top of his target. Using the momentum from his fall, he forces his mace into his victim's skull, crushing it in the process. Standing up while his target lays dead, he removes his mace from their head and places it back at his waist.
