Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

Barnabas was a Cypriot resistance leader in Kyrenia. He actively supported the Assassin Order in acting against the Templars, and was executed for his efforts. Barnabas was well-known by Alexander of Limassol, and each exchanged letters until the time of his death.

Death

Barnabas was assassinated three weeks prior to the events of Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines by a Templar Agent, who then impersonated him and tricked Master Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad into killing Jonas. Barnabas' head was cut off from his body, and later delivered to Alexander, the resistance leader of Limassol.

The head was held within a bag, in order to frighten him and blame Altaïr for the murder. Altaïr already knew that the man he encountered was not the real Barnabas. When he expected the head, he revealed to Alexander the truth about the Templar Agent's plan to trick them.
