- "Ravaging the poor districts of Rome, Malfatto preys on those unfortunate enough to be caught unaware."
- ―Ubisoft Description
The Doctor (real name: Malfatto) is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, who uses a syringe as his primary weapon.
His outfit highly resembles the ones worn by doctors during the plague, and appears black in the dark. His face is concealed by a mask, therefore making his true identity unknown. His outfit is different from what the doctors wear in Assassin's Creed II, most noticeably due to the shorter beak of his mask.
Ubisoft has said that he will make an appearance in the single player mode of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood along with the other multiplayer characters.
Unique Moves
Lethal Injection
The Doctor charges at his target from behind and swiftly thrusts his syringe into the target's shoulder, injecting poison into their system. Before the victim can realize what has happened, they collapse to the ground and die silently. The Doctor can also perform a similar move from the front of the victim, wherein he thrusts the syringe into the victim's neck.
The Eye Stab
The Doctor charges and jumps onto his target, injecting the syringe into their eye and causing death.
Trivia
- Malfatto is an Italian surname that may derive from the Italian word malfattore or "someone who does evil deeds."
