Barber
The Barber (real name: Baltasar de Silva) is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, who uses a sharp razor as his primary weapon. Ubisoft stated that he will make an appearance in the single player mode of Brotherhood along with the other multiplayer characters.
In Project Legacy it is revealed that he partnered with Fiora Cavazza to investigate the assassins. Though he failed to tail his prey he was able to observe his technique, clothing, and hidden blade and took notes eagerly.
Later, when Fiora turned on Cesare and allied with the Assassins he was able to outwit his hunters using a variety of traps. However he was intrigued by Fiora's decision and offered to make a deal with her.
