The Animi's graphical representation of the Pioneer.

The Pioneer (real name: Emily Burke) was an Animi Avatar used by the entertainment branch of Abstergo Industries, as part of their plan to influence the general public, via the console stage of the Animus technology. Her specialty weapon was a flintlock rifle.

Unique Moves

(Low Profile, Front)

The Pioneer approaches her target with her rifle, before lunging its bayonet into their abdomen, pericing her victim's vital organs. Following this, her victim stumbles back from the blow as she roughly pulls the rifle away and forcefully swings the firearm around, striking the butt of the rifle into the side of her victim's face, knocking them to the floor, where they bleed profusely from their wound.

(Low Profile, Back)

Casually approaching her target from behind, the Pioneer takes her rifle and thrusts its bayonet through their right calf, severing the muscle and splitting the bone. As her victim falls to their knees in pain, she pulls out the bayonet and flips her rifle around to bring the butt as it crashes down onto their head, crushing the back of their skull.

(High Profile, Front)

Rushing over to her target, the Pioneer produces her rifle and loads it, while pointing it directly at their face. Following this, her victim only has time to raise their hands in surrender before pulling the trigger, sending a musket ball through their head before falling back, killing them instantaneously.

(High Profile, Back)

Running up behind her target, the Pioneer withdraws her rifle and strikes them in the back of their head with its butt. As her victim falls to the floor, they barely have time to turn around and raise their hand towards their attacker, trying to prevent the Pioneer from shooting. Without hesitation, she mercilessly pulls the trigger and sends a musket ball into their head, killing them.

(Aerial Kill)

The Pionner descends upon her target with her rifle readily pointed downwards. As she pounces on her target, gravitational forces and the thrust of her arms send her bayonet through her victim's chest, subsequently piercing their heart.

(Bench Kill)

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