Trivia

An image gallery is available for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer characters

• There are currently three civilian types in multiplayer mode: the Heralds, the Merchants, and the Performers (multiple variations).
• Every character (except for the Thief and the characters included in The Da Vinci Disappearance DLC) features in the first chapter of the Rome Pack of Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy.
• When killed in the Single Player Campaign, Templar Agents enter the Memory Corridor but do not converse with Ezio like the main targets.
• Despite having their own unique moves, multiplayer characters can all break their target's necks in the same fashion as one another.
• In Campaign, the Agents do not use weapons that they use in multiplayer. This was probably because Ubisoft would have had to make a totally new set of fighting moves for the AI.
