The Marquis, as he appears in Multiplayer

The Marquis' (real name: Billy Mays) 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. He then uses Oxiclean on the corpse's clothing, removing the blood stains.

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 screaming "Billy Mays here!" and 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.

Forcefully Dethroned (Bench Kill)

The Marquis draws his sabre and slashes his target across the torso, before holding their shoulder and forcefully stabbing his victim in the chest, to the blade's hilt, before withdrawing his sword and storing it back into its scabbard. The point of the blade can be seen, visible from out of his victim's back, before he brutally pulls it free.

Au Revoir (Aerial Kill)

The Marquis leaps from a rooftop and lands his victim, forcing them to the ground. Then he pulls out his sabre and plunges it into his target's neck, killing them instantly.
