Hellequin
- "Caha, along with her brother Cahin, uses theatrics to beguile and brutalize her victims."
- ―Ubisoft
The Hellequin, (real name: Caha) is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Along
with her brother, Cahin, the Harlequin, she works as a Templar Agent for Cesare Borgia and is mentioned to originate from France.
Despite her brightly-colored costume and somewhat eccentric headgear, the Hellequin clearly prefers to act in dramas; especially the bloody ones. When using her barbed golden daggers, she is sure to leave her audience with a grin from ear-to-ear. Her default attire consists of a striped gold and purple jester costume, with an ornate golden mask.
In Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy, Caha and Cahin are first seen doing a performance together, while Fiora Cavazza watches them. The performance turns out to be a ruse, with Caha, Cahin, and Fiora killing all of the guests attending. Fiora notes that the siblings seem mad, but fun. Later on, after Fiora turns tail and helps the Assassins weaken Cesare Borgia's defense, she joins them in assassinating Caha and Cahin.
Unique Moves
Who's the Fool Now? (Low Profile, Back)
- The Hellequin taps her target on the shoulder, before twirling around them. As her victim searches for the source of the touch, the Hellequin quickly stabs them once in the lower back, underneath the rib-cage.
Curtain Close (Low Profile, Front)
- The Hellequin, once close-range and facing her target, she stabs their feet with one of her daggers. Once her victim can no longer step ahead, she takes her other dagger from the ring on her belt and stabs them under the chin, before bending down to retrieve the first dagger in their foot and rehooking both of them to her belt.
Killer Leap Frog Hop (High Profile, Front)
- The Hellequin vaults over her target whilst stabbing them in the crevices between the neck and the shoulder blades, before landing behind them and nudging her victim with her bottom, letting gravity pull their limp body to the floor.
A Dramatic End (High Profile, Back)
- The Hellequin runs up to her target from behind and leaps over them, kicking her legs up into the air as she twirls over them. Once she lands, she takes out one of her two daggers and stabs her victim in the throat, before yanking the barbed dagger out.
The Showstopper (Bench Kill)
- The Hellequin pulls her target up from the bench, before jumping up and wrapping one leg around their neck and clamping her other leg behind their head. Using the momentum of her jump, the Hellequin tilts herself, snapping her victim's neck while she lands on her feet.
Spotlight's on You (Aerial Kill)
- The Hellequin leaps from a rooftop and lands onto her unaware target. Then, she takes out her two daggers and stabs her target in the shoulders.

Trivia
- The Hellequin can be unlocked through Uplay for 40 Uplay points.
- It has been confirmed that the Harlequin is her brother, as stated by their in-game Multiplayer descriptions.
- "Hellequin" is not a play on the word "harlequin", slotting out "harl" for "hell", as people have been led to believe. The Hellequin was the precursor to the traditional harlequin.
- Caha's and her brother's names are based on the French phrase "cahin caha" meaning willy nilly.
- In the Russian translation she is known as "Harlequina" (Арлекина) a female version of the gender-neutral word "Harlequino" (Арлекино), while the male form "Harlequin" (Арлекин) is used for Harlequin
