Animi Avatars (second stage)

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

Similar to its predecessor, Assassin's Creed: Revelations includes a multiplayer portion, which features a variety of personas for the player to choose between, as well as the option to customize their appearance and weapons. Like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, many multiplayer characters are featured in the main storyline.

However, the multiplayer characters play a bigger part than in Brotherhood, and in some cases, characters may actually need to be found and later assassinated in the singleplayer, through Master Assassin missions and story progression, in order to unlock them for use in the multiplayer.

• Thespian - As a wealthy Byzantine woman, the Thespian lived a life of luxury and nonchalance in the high society of Constantinople.

She uses a dagger as her specialty weapon.
