The Gladiator (real name: Anacletos) is an Animi Avatar for the second stage of Abstergo's Animi Training Program, used to train their recruits. He is unlocked through a system update. He wielded a spatha as his specialty weapon, which was a Roman cavalry sword.

Unique Moves

The Gladiator had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Front)

The Gladiator approaches his target and unsheathes his spatha. Before his victim can react he brutally smashes the sword's hilt against their face, knocking them off balance. The Gladiator then takes this to his advantage, impaling their stomach and killing them.

(Low Profile, Back)

The Gladiator walks up behind his target and insheathes his sword. He slashes across the back of their legs suddenly, causing them to drop to their knees. He then follows through with his attack by wedging his spatha in the right of their waist, before pushing them off with his foot and leaving them bleeding to death.

(High Profile, Front)

The Gladiator rushes up to his target and savagely grasps their throat. Cruelly squeezing, the Gladiator lifts his contract bodily off the floor and unsheathes his spatha. He sweeps their legs from under them and drops them on the floor, before viciously slashing his sword down, cutting their stomach open and leaving them dead.

(High Profile, Back)

The Gladiator runs up behind his target and withdraws his spatha from his belt. He skilfully swings it one-handed at their waist, causing them to turn in agony as the Gladiator spins to build up momentum. Once he spins full circle he savagely slashes their face, sending them hurtling sideways to their death as he sheathes his sword.

(Bench Kill)

The Gladiator 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 Gladiator 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 Gladiator leaps from above and draws his spatha in midair. His target looks up and is unable to stop him crashing down on top of them, gravity aiding his heavy armor. He stabs the contract's chest, impaling their heart and killing them instantly. The Gladiator then sheathes his sword and leaves his victim dead.
