"Running in the streets, bumping into people, the target is out of breath. He knows his pursuer is here somewhere, watching him, ready to take away his life. Suddenly, he stops and looks up. There, on the rooftops, the Prowler gazes down, smiling at him. It's already too late."

―Ubisoft Description

The Prowler

The Prowler (real name: Il Lupo) is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood who wields a switchblade, one that is similar to the hidden blade of the Assassins. Despite his similarity to the Assassins, the Prowler is, as all other multiplayer characters in Brotherhood, a Templar.

He makes an appearance in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy as a creation of Baltasar de Silva, Cesare Borgia's master spy. After many hours of tracking and learning from the Assassins with Fiora Cavazza, Baltasar trained Il Lupo, a hitman who used the techniques and weapons of the Assassins. When Fiora betrayed all of Cesare's agents to the Assassins, she personally killed Il Lupo with a poisoned iron fan. She did so with a sense of urgency as Il Lupo was the last person who knew that Fiora had done possibly damaging things to the Assassins before she sought their aid.

Unique Moves

The Neck Breaker

The Prowler grabs his target from behind and swiftly maneuvers his hands around their neck. He then clutches the chin and neck, roughly pulling the head at a 90 degree angle and breaking the neck bone. The target then falls dead to the ground.

The Plunge of Death

The Prowler leaps from a rooftop above, onto the target, forcing them to the ground and plunging the blade into their skull. The target dies instantly.

Headache

The Prowler runs up behind his target and shoves his blade through the back of their head, killing them.
