Barber

The Barber.

Baltasar de Silva, also known as the Barber, is a character in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy, and a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. He uses a sharp razor as his primary weapon.

In Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy, it is revealed that he was Cesare Borgia's master spy, and that he was not actually a barber. At one point, he partnered with Fiora Cavazza to investigate the Assassins. Though he failed to tail or catch his prey, he was able to observe their technique, clothing, and hidden blade, and took notes eagerly. This research resulted in him creating the Templar assassin, Il Lupo.

Later, when Fiora turned on Cesare and allied with the Assassins, he was able to outwit his hunters using a variety of traps. However, he was intrigued by Fiora's decision and offered to make a deal with her. The "deal" turned out to be a trap that almost resulted in Fiora's death, but Francesco Vecellio and his fellow Assassins came to her aid, and killed Baltasar and his men with arrows.

• Silva is the Portuguese word for some bushes, which is possibly a reason for his emerald green apparel.
• He also bears a striking resemblance to Gangs of New York's Bill "The Butcher" Cutting.
