They could be found in the major cities of [[Damascus]], [[Acre]], and [[Jerusalem]], as well as in [[Masyaf]].


They were more burly and tough-looking than most peasants, and were most notable for carrying [[Throwing Knives]], which [[Altaïr]] was able to [[pickpocket]]. If they caught Altaïr while doing so, they would fight him. They usually carried five knives, though visiting Masyaf or a [[Bureau]] would also replenish the amount of knives in possession.
