The Almogavars were guards in Constantinople during the Renaissance.

Roughly comparable to the Brutes from Rome, they fought with heavy weapons and were rather slow. Like the Varangians, the Almogavars were Byzantine guards.

Trivia

• The Almogavars were historically soldiers of Spanish origin. They were known to have worked as mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire.
• The Almogavars, like the Janissaries - except in some missions - are always found carrying the same weapon: the Almogavar Axe.
• The Almogavar Axe can also be used as a weapon by completing mercenary faction challanges.
• It is peculiar that Almogavars use heavy weapons in-game, they used lances and spears historically.
