Parachutes were an invention devised by Leonardo da Vinci in the early 16th century, during the Renaissance. They were able to slow a fall from any height, and could also allow its user to maneuver through the air.[1]
Parachutes were square-shaped, and made up of cloth and ropes. However, as they were single-use, more were purchasable from tailors, along with larger bags that allowed one to carry up to fifteen at once.[1]
After Leonardo created the parachutes upon the destruction of all of his War Machines, he offered them as an addition to the arsenal of the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze.[1]
Aside from using a parachute to slow down his fall, Ezio could also drop from the parachute at any time, and perform an air assassination.[1]
The Turkish Assassins of Constantinople also made use of parachutes. The Turkish Master Assassin Yusuf Tazim as well as three other Assassins used parachutes to cross the wall of Topkapı Palace. An Assassin apprentice also used one during the assassination of Lysistrata.[2]
Desmond Miles used a parachute while infiltrating a building in New York City, in search of a power source for the Grand Temple.[3]
