Heralds were citizens who informed the populations of cities about recent news, such as those concerning laws, taxation, or executions.
Renaissance
Heralds came about due to the lack of an effective means of information transfer, and were precursors to today's communication system.
During the Italian Renaissance, should Ezio Auditore commit a crime, the heralds would begin warning the people about the presence of the Assassin. To keep himself hidden, Ezio would often bribe them with 500f, and encourage them to speak of other matters.
When viewed through Eagle vision, heralds were marked with blue if they were announcing normal events. If they spoke of the Assassins (mostly lies and slander), they were seen glowing red, as any other enemy.
Trivia

- Heralds are slightly harder to knock out than normal civilians in Assassin's Creed II.
- In Assassin's Creed II, heralds will appear on the map as long as Ezio's notoriety is not at 0%. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, notoriety must be greater than 50%.

- In this achievement, a herald is referred to as an "orator."
- The herald in the large square at the northern most part of the Centro district in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood may appear gold through Ezio's Eagle vision.
