Wanted posters were printed signs found in cities that featured the face of an Assassin, demanding for their immediate capture.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze first encountered them after the execution of his family. The posters prominently displayed the Pazzi family crest and promised awards of 50,000 florins to anyone who killed or captured the Assassin once he had committed socially unacceptable behavior.[1]
By tearing down wanted posters within cities, Ezio quickly learned to avoid the presence of guards while doing so, who were often alerted once they had detected his actions.[1][2]
In the mid 18th century, the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré found need to remove wanted posters bearing the image of her slave persona, to decrease any negative focus of her in the public eye.[3]
Around the same time, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton also removed wanted posters to reduce his notoriety, or could bribe printers to stop producing them altogether.[4]
