The Animi's graphical representation of the Strong Man.

The Strong Man (real name: Nukilik) was an Animi Avatar used by the entertainment branch of Abstergo Industries, as part of their plan to influence the general public, via the console stage of the Animus technology. His specialty weapon was a harpoon, which he used as a spear.

Biography

When news of his southern kin’s plight reached his land, this Inuit Chief traveled countless miles south to aid the revolutionaries and defend his people. Despite his deceptive size, his speed and agility make him a very valuable asset and he is especially dangerous at close range.

Unique Moves

The Strong Man had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Front)

The Strong Man approaches his target and quickly pulls out his harpoon, before stabbing it into their abdomen. Following this, he cruelly pulls the spear upwards, further opening the newly inflicted wound and causing more blood loss, and then removing his spear as he watches his victim fall to the floor.

(Low Profile, Back)

The Strong Man approaches his target from behind and pulls out his harpoon, before slashing them diagonally across the spine to the left, followed up by a second slash to the right. He then brutally forces the spearhead through their back, withdrawing his harpoon as his victim collapses to their knees, dying slowly.

(High Profile, Front)

The Strong Man runs up to his target and stabs his harpoon deeply into their chest. As they grab ahold of the spear, he takes his hands away from his weapon and spins around, before returning once more to his spear. From there, the Strong Man sadistically rips his harpoon out as he pulls on it single-handedly, before performing a second spin and using the momentum to slash them across the chest, causing his victim to fall back to their death.

(High Profile, Back)

The Strong Man rushes over to his target with his harpoon in hand, before impaling them in their spine. As they recoil from the pain, he withdraws his spear and springs upwards into the air, subsequently slashing his victim down their spine from their neck, causing them to die of blood loss.

(Aerial Kill)

The Strong Man leaps from above, landing on top of his target, before taking out his harpoon from his back. Using the momentum of his fall, he forces his spear deeply into their chest, and then removes his weapon from his victim's dead body before sheathing it at his back.

(Bench Kill)

The Strong Man grabs his seated target's foot and drags them off the bench, until their head rests against it. Before they can do anything to defend themselves, the Strong Man forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking his victim's neck on the bench behind them.
