Engineer
The Engineer is a multiplayer character in the upcoming game, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. It is stated by Ubisoft that he might make an appearance in the single-player mode in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood as well as the other multiplayer characters. His weapon used for assassinating is a compass as seen here at 0:17. This videoshows how he kills his target in recent BETA gameplay. His name is Gaspar de la Croix.
"Gaspar de la Croix is a master weapons engineer as well as an expert marksman."
"De la Croix" is French for "of the cross" this is almost certainly a reference to his Templar origins.
