Armor
This article is about the armour that is used in the Assassin's Creed series.
Altaïr's armour
In the first Assassin's Creed game, Altaïr does not wear any actual metal armour underneath his robes. Altaïr can take great amounts of damage without dying, because of Synchronization: Desmond, in the Animus, is able to take damage. The "real" Altaïr may have been too great a fighter to take any damage. So, when Desmond in the Animus takes damage, he loses Synchronization with the actual events.
EZIO
Ezio Is Fucking Awsome. Altair Cool But his Robes Are Shit
Other characters
Assassin's Creed
Armour does appear on other characters in the game, and there are differences in the styles worn by guards in each city. The guards in Damascus can be found in either lamellar, likely leather, or ringmail armour. Guards in Acre can be found in brigantine armour and chain mail, some complete with coifs. Guards in Jerusalem are often found wearing scale or splintmail. Each of these guard types can be found in the Kingdom near their respective cities. The Knights Templar uniformly wear full suits of chain mail covered in a white tabbard with a red steel helm covering their face.
Assassin's Creed II
All types of soldiers in Assassin's Creed II are armoured: some "regular" soldiers, some "archers", the "Paranoid" Halberdiers, even the fast moving "Agiles" and of course the heavily equipped "Brutes". "Elite" soldiers have more and better armour than regular soldiers, which makes them more resistant to Ezio's attacks and counter-attacks.
