Followers of Romulus
The Followers of Romulus were cult followers of Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome. According to legend, he and his brother Remus were raised by a wolf, and as a result, were said to be half wolf and half man. In tribute to this, the Followers' attire includes a skinned wolf pelt. In Rome, the Master Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze will be able to enter six of their lairs to find out more about them, and to obtain their scrolls, which were located at shrines inside each of the six locations.[1]
The Sons of Romulus are portrayed as powerfully-built, rather brutish men covered in wolfskin pelts, who attack viciously in large packs. They are armed with various short blades and throwing knives.
They are supported by the Borgia in their actions, and are mainly used to cause fear in the civilians to send them into the arms of the church. However, the Followers are used and misguided, with their leaders commanding them in the name of the god-like figure of Romulus, despite not believing in his existence themselves.
By exploring and completing all six of their lairs, Ezio will be able to obtain six keys to unlock their secret armor, one that is stronger than most armor Ezio can purchase from a Blacksmith. Along with the keys, Ezio finds scrolls. These scrolls tell the story of how Brutus and other followers plotted the murdering of Julius Caesar. In the scrolls, it is written that Brutus held the first meeting under the Colloseum. There, he found the Vault with the Piece Of Eden inside it. He used it to plot the assassination. The facts that he was able to open the Vault and succesfully planned the killing and killed Julius Caesar imply that he was an Assassin.
