A vulture is a scavenging bird of prey.
During the Ptolemaic dynasty, vulture skulls were in demand in Egyptian markets and were worth 7 drachmae in 48 BCE.[1]
In 48 BCE, Actaeon, the Order of the Ancients member known by the cryptonym The Vulture was killed in Alexandria by Aya, as a revenge for the death of her son, Khemu.[1]
Trivia
- In the non-canon Assassin's Creed comics published by Les Deux Royaumes, the vulture is treated as the animal motif of the Templars and their counterpart to the Assassins' eagle. Just as Assassin characters, like Aquilus, are often named after the eagle, Templars adversaries like Caius Fulvus Vultur are conspicuously named after vultures. This is to the point that Desmond Miles correctly deduces that the doctor Herman Geier is actually the Templar mole in their cell by mere virtue of his surname being German for "vulture".
