Ezio using Greek Fire.

Greek Fire was a weapon available in Constantinople.

History

First used by the Byzantine Emperor Leon III's army when enemy ships laid siege to Constantinople in 717 AD, The Byzantine forces used Greek Fire to burn the enemy fleet, which forced them to lift the siege and go west.

During the early 16th century, Ezio Auditore used the flammable substance in Constantinople in order to destroy several ships in the port that prevented him from leaving the city.

Greek Fire was a closely guarded military secret. To this day, its composition is unknown, despite multiple theories.

Trivia

• Greek Fire was first seen in the E3 Gameplay Demo of Assassin's Creed: Revelations. It seems similar to the Naval Cannon featured in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
