Borgia Messengers, also known as Borgia Couriers, appear in the game Assassin's Creed II. Upon spotting Ezio, the messengers take flight, performing many free-run actions and acrobatic stunts, such as climbing walls and swinging from posts. If Ezio manages to catch up to one, he can tackle him or simply throw a Throwing Knife at him for a considerable amount of Florins, with about 1500 florins per messenger. However, if Ezio kills one, his notoriety will automatically increase by 50%. However, Ezio can still get the 1500 florins (or more) if he loots the messenger. If caught, the Courier begs for his life. After being attacked or left alone a few moments, the Courier will resume his free-running.

It has also been shown that you can trip Borgia messengers so that they fall to their death without being penalized for it.
If you intercept one of them, you get the Achievement/Trophy "Mailman" (10G)
Unlike Pickpockets, who have a red icon, Borgia messengers are invisible on your map, although you can often find them at city entrances and they are pointed out by a silver chevron.
