Animi Avatars (first stage)
As Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the first in the series to feature a multiplayer layer (if you don't count the Assassins Creed multiplayer game for ipod/iphone) there are many multiplayer characters that are playable. This lists all of those that have been confirmed, as well as those that have been seen, but are yet to be confirmed by Ubisoft. Most of them will also be present as targets for Ezio to kill in the singleplayer. It has now been confirmed that there is a total of 17 multiplayer characters in the Codex Version of the game (including the Harlequin and the Officer).

Unconfirmed
Disclaimer: Names of these characters have not been officailly anounced, but have been spotted in various screenshots, and therefore have not been given official names by Ubisoft yet
- *Jester (Female character) (several screenshots show the jester and the harlequin in the same game, this means it is likely an entire different character.) The screenshot at the bottom of this page showing the Doctor assassinating the Courtesan also shows the Jester behind the Harlequin.
Trivia
- Every character can be further customized as the player reaches higher levels.
- There are currently three civilian types in multiplayer mode: the Heralds, the Merchants, and the Performers (multiple variations).
- There is a weekly character reveal on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's facebook page, plus added videos on their YouTube account.
