Thief (Animi Avatar)

"Born and raised in a world of poverty, the Thief was taught how to steal, run and climb to survive, alongside her brother. Always together, acting as a team, they once split a pair of scissors to make a weapon, swearing to protect each other. It's been 10 years now... and she's never forgotten the day she broke her promise."

―Ubisoft description.

The Thief (real name: Faustina Collari) was an unlockable Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries to train the recruits in their Animi Training Program. The Thief was available after a recruit had reached level 25, and her weapon was a scissor blade.

Unique Moves

The Thief had the following unique moves:

(Low Profile, Back)

The Thief walks up behind her target and drops her weapon next to their foot, before reaching down to retrieve it. With the sound of her scissor blade alerting her victim as it hits the floor, she quickly stands up as they turn around, using the momentum to stab them in the side of the head with her scissor blade.

(Low Profile, Front)

The Thief approaches her target from the front and makes a deadly blow to her target's heart. Getting her blade stuck in their torso, she wiggles the blade from side to side and yanks her weapon out her victim's chest, before pushing them away and stashing her scissor blade up her sleeve.

(High Profile, Back)

The Thief runs upto her target from behind and jumps onto their back. As she holds onto them while they stagger forward, giving herself a piggyback ride, she stabs her victim in their chest twice. She then hops off their body as it falls to the ground and conceals her weapon.

(High Profile, Front)

The Thief engages her target by pushing them forward, causing them to stagger back slightly. As they attempt to walk forward and retaliate, the Thief wins the scuffle by stabbing her victim in the eye with her scissor blade, subsequently piercing their brain and sending them slumping to the floor.

(Bench Kill)

The Thief approaches her seated target and purposely drops her weapon next to her victim's foot, pretending like it was a mistake, so that she can crouch down slightly, in order to get a better look and identify them. Confirming her suspicions, the Thief grabs her scissor blade from the floor and before her victim can react, she plunges her weapon in the side of their head, killing them instantly. With her target freshly dispatched, she pulls their dead body from their seat and throws them to the floor.

(Aerial Kill)

The Thief leaps from a rooftop, scissor blade in hand, before landing on her target. She then stabs downwards into her victim's neck, piercing the jugular and causing them to bleed to death on the ground, while she stands and hides her scissor blade up her sleeve.

Trivia

• Faustina's Elite Gear is a polar opposite of the rags in her Basic Gear. Her Elite Gear is neat and exquisite, whilst her Basic Gear is ragged and homely. Each of her different gears shifts steadily from rags to riches throughout the four options.
• Faustina is the only multiplayer character to not appear in either the Brotherhood single player, or Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy.
