Ezio using Greek Fire.

Greek Fire was a weapon available in Constantinople.

History

First used by Byzantine Emperor Leon III's army when enemy vessels laid siege to Constantinople in 717 AD, Greek Fire burned through the enemy fleet, forcing them to lift their attack and travel west.

During the early 16th century, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze used the flammable substance in order to destroy several ships in the port that prevented him from leaving the city.

Greek Fire was a closely guarded military secret. It's composition remains unknown, despite multiple theories. [citation needed]
