The Almogavars were fairly uncommon guards that appeared in Constantinople and Cappadocia during the Renaissance. Roughly comparable to the Brutes from Rome, they fought with heavy weapons, were rather slow compared to other enemies, and wore thick armor. Like the Varangians, the Almogavars were Byzantine guards. They are featured in many missions.
Trivia
- The Almogavars were historically soldiers of aragones and catalan 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, after completing The Champion, Part 1 memory.
- It is peculiar that Almogavars use heavy weapons in-game, they used lances and spears historically.
- Some courageous Templar Den Captains look and fight like Almogavars. Some cowardly Captains also look like Almogavars.
- Unlike Brutes in Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Almogavars can be killed with a counter if their attack is not the overhead smash.
