Prowler
The Hunter is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. His weapon is the switchblade. Despite his similarity to the Assassins, the Hunter is, as all other multiplayer characters in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, a Templar. Ubisoft states that he will also make an appearance in the single-player mode of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, along with other multiplayer characters.
Unique Moves
The Neck Breaker:
The Hunter grabs his target from behind and swiftly maneuvers his hands around their neck. He then clutches the chin and neck, roughly pulling the head at a 90 degree angle and breaking the neck bone. The target then falls dead to the ground.
The Plunge of Death:
The Hunter leaps from a rooftop above, onto the target, forcing them to the ground and plunging the blade into their skull. The target dies instantly.
