Crows
The Crows was an organization created in secret by the Templar Cesare Borgia to hunt down the Assassins during the Renaissance.[1] Although, consisting mainly of former Assassins that felt let down by the Creed and believed that the Assassins were no better than the Templars, no secrets from the Assassin Order were revealed as the members of the Crows kept their past identities secret.[2]
History
Formed sometime before the Liberation of Rome by Cesare Borgia and Sirus[1], the Crows once attempted to assassinate Leonardo da Vinci in Florence. Although he was saved by the Assassins, the Crows managed to steal several blueprints.[2]
These blueprints were later taken to Demetrio Il Silente, who created replicas of the Hidden Blade known as "Corvix Blades". Although the production was stopped by Niccolò Machiavelli's Assassins, the Blades still saw use.[2]
The Crows managed to become an infamous mercenary group, characterized as agile and as masters of small arms. They were known for wearing dark talon-coated cloaks and were pictured with crow themed hoods.[1]
