- For the multiplayer character, see Courtesan.
The Courtesans are one of the three factions of Assassin's Creed II helping the main character, Ezio (the other two being the Thieves and the Mercenaries). Led by Paola, whose brothel is located in Florence, and by Sister Teodora, who is situated in Venice.
The courtesans can help Ezio by surrounding him which let him walk the streets unnoticed. Courtesans are very useful when trying to steal codex pages, or treasures inside banks as guards don't notice Ezio after the Courtesans seduce them. However, courtesans are not recommended to be used for long distances for guards will eventually pass by and pull two Courtesans automatically to them, making it harder for Ezio to blend. Keep in mind that they are slower than Ezio, are useless in fights (except as one-hit-cannon-fodder), and cannot perform any form of parkour.
Functions
- They help Ezio learn how to blend in with the crowd.
- They can help fight guards with daggers when Ezio is attacked, though they go down very easily and quickly.
- They can be used to distract guards.
- Guards walking by Ezio can take two of the four Courtesans he has hired without notice. Two courtesans is still enough to distract any number of guards as long they are grouped to each other.
Achievement/Trophy
You can win an achievement/trophy, "Red Light Addict", by spending 5000 florins on them. One group of courtesans costs 150 florins, which means you need to hire about 34 groups to get the achievement.
Trivia
- All ordinary courtesans are barefoot.
- Courtesans were used to assassinate Silvio Barbarigo's uncle.
- A glitch found while running around the outside of Forlì - it seems that if one of the courtesans becomes stuck, separated from the rest of the group, and left behind, but does not officially leave the group as when distracting guards, the remaining three courtesans will not activate any blending effects when surrounding Ezio until he approaches the lost courtesan's perimeter and again enters the 'middle' of the group.
- Also, courtesans' swimming seems to be on par with that of Altaïr - if knocked into the water, a courtesan will scream on the way down, and then fail to re-emerge. The remaining three courtesans will continue to activate the blending effect without her, indicating that the death of the one courtesan is similar to when two leave the group to distract passing guards, leaving the other two alone to cover Ezio.
- Courtesans cannot be killed or be grabbed by Ezio.But, you can still hurt them with knives,your fists, swords, and your dagger.
- The appearance of courtesans has five randomly generated options: Hair, face, dress color, necklace, and sleeves.
- In Monteregionni, when more people arrive at the town after you start upgrading it, random Courtesan NPC's appear walking in the streets.
