Assassin insignia

This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

The Assassin Insignia of the Assassin Order, though varying slightly over different time periods and countries, holds essentially the same shape and style. Each of its variations also possibly denote the various sects of the Order.

In Assassin's Creed, the insignia is used to mark the entrances of Assassins' Bureaus, and is seen on the banners decorating the fortress of Masyaf. Within Assassin's Creed II, it is used on the mechanisms in the many Assassin's Tombs, and on the banners and walls of Monteriggioni. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it is displayed on the banners hung in the Tiber Island Headquarters.

Additionally, the insignia is worn openly on the armor and clothing of certain known Assassins, such as Mario Auditore, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Nikolai Orelov. Certain modern-day Assassins also wear the insignia in the form of a tattoo, such as Desmond Miles and Daniel Cross.

Trivia

• In the Sanctuary, all of the statues have different Assassin insignias (differing from their unique Assassin's Seals) on their waists, which are deviations of the original one. For example, Amunet's insignia bears two snakes.
• In Brotherhood, Desmond searches for Assassin insignias painted onto the walls to guide him to the Colosseum Vault.
• The insignia bears some resemblance to the symbol of the Freemasons.
• Both the original insignia and the Russian variation are not vertically symmetrical, unlike the Italian variation.
• The original insignia is most likely influenced by the Greek letter "Delta." "Delta" is asymmetrical, and denotes change in mathematics. This fits well into the Assassins' goals.
