―Ubisoft Description

The Marquis, as he appears in Multiplayer

The Marquis (real name: Charles de la Motte) is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. This character is available with the downloadable content The Da Vinci Disappearance. He appears to wield a sabre.

Unique Moves

Role Reversal (Low Profile, Front)

The Marquis slashes his target across the chest downwards rapidly, moving along with his blade, before bringing his sword around for another attack, sending his victim flipping backwards to their death.

The High-Class Impact (High Profile, Front)

The Marquis runs to his target, chopping down rapidly into their shoulder. With the momentum, it forces his victim to their knees, so he takes the opportunity to free his blade by brutally kneeing them in the face, after holding them down with his free hand on their shoulder. (This is performed occasionally by Ezio if you attack someone unarmed or unaware).

Deadly Riposte (Low Profile, Back)

The Marquis approaches his target from behind before brutally wedging his sword in the back of their neck. He then frees his sabre by easing the dead victim off of his sword by pushing them of of the end of the blade with his hand.

The Grim Spin (High Profile, Back)

The Marquis runs to his victim and spins around, chopping his target in the neck, severing their spine. He then kicks his victim's feet from under them as he frees his blade.

(Bench Kill)

The Marquis grabs his victim by the shoulder and pulls them into a standing position. He then draws his sabre and slashes his target across the torso, followed up by a stab to the chest. The point of the blade is visible out of his victims back as he brutally pulls it free.

• He shares his bench kill and aerial kill with the Captain, as they both use swords.
