Third Crusade

Novices had neither the use of a Short Blade, Longsword, Throwing Knives, nor the Hidden Blade. They were also unable to use the abilities Counter Attack, Counter Grab, Defense Break, Dodge, or Climb Walls. For Desmond Miles, the base Synchronization was lowest when Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was first demoted to Novice rank.

failure to follow the the Creed at Solomon's Temple, and the subsequent Templar attack on Masyaf. Al Mualim originally intended to execute him for treason, but instead stripped him of his Master Assassin rank, and forced him to become a Novice once again, in hopes of refining his talents. He presented him with nine - unbeknownst to him - Templar targets, the assassination of which would allow him to regain his previous status of Master Assassin.

All Novice Assassins, as well as any other rank except Master Assassin, were considered students. As a Novice, Altaïr was charged with collecting his own information on his targets, rather than being given information by a local Rafiq. He had to obtain permission from the Rafiq after his collection of this information, in order to perform assassinations. He was also considerably weaker, with fewer weapons, less strong armor, and a small cache of fighting moves.[1]

Renaissance

In Rome in the 16th century, Novice was the lowest rank for an apprentice that Ezio Auditore had recruited. They could be called upon to carry out assassinations and other missions, but had low rates of success because of their little experience. Also, in the game, the name Novice was replaced by Recluta (Recruit). They only carried one weapon, the Hidden Blade.[2][3]
