The Almogavars are a guard archetype in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Roughly comparable to the "Brute" archetype from previous installments of Assassin's Creed, they fight with heavy weapons, as the brutes did. Like the Varangians, the Almogavars are an exclusively Byzantine guard archetype.

Trivia

  • The Almogavars were historically soldiers of Spanish origin. They were known to have worked as mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire.
  • The Almogavars, like the Janissaries - except in some missions - are always found carrying the same weapon: the Almogavar Axe. The Almogavar Axe can also be used as a weapon by completing mercenary faction challanges.
  • It is peculiar that Almogavars use heavy weapons in-game, they used lances and spears historically.
