Barnabas (imposter)
The Templar Agent was Armand Bouchart's best man. He was stealthy, an incredibly fast killer and a spy, who was able to easily escape from Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad not once, but even twice. He had worn his Order uniform most of the time and usually hid his face.
His mission was to infiltrate and sabotage the Cypriot resistance: he successfully killed Barnabas and impersonated him, misleading Altaïr, whom he manipulated to kill Jonas. He later again met Altaïr twice, killing an important person whom Altaïr intended to interrogate. In the end, he killed Alexander, the leader of the resistance, and prepared a trap for Altaïr near the entrance to the Templar Archive.
There, he, previously masked, revealed that it was he posing as Barnabas. He was sure he would kill Altaïr, but ended up being killed by Maria Thorpe, who sneaked behind him and pierced him with her sword.
Notes
- He is perhaps the only man whose abilities surpass or equal Altaïr's.
- He is the only major enemy who isn't killed by Altaïr, but by an ally (Maria).
