- "Running in the streets, bumping into people, the target is out of breath. He knows his pursuer is here somewhere, watching him, ready to take away his life. Suddenly, he stops and looks up. There, on the rooftops, the Prowler gazes down, smiling at him. It's already too late."
- ―Ubisoft Description
The Prowler (real name: Il Lupo) is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood who wields a switchblade, one that is similar to the hidden blade of the Assassins. Despite his similarity to the Assassins, the Prowler is, as all other multiplayer characters in Brotherhood, a Templar.
He makes an appearance in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy as a creation of Baltasar de Silva, Cesare Borgia's master spy. After many hours of tracking and learning from the Assassins with Fiora Cavazza, Baltasar trained Il Lupo, a hitman who used the techniques and weapons of the Assassins.Both Fiora and Lupa were really good friends.Later Lupo fell in love with her and protected her from every enemy without her even knowing.At her great battles with the assassins he suppoted them from all sides but many didn´t realise. When Fiora betrayed all of Cesare's agents to the Assassins, she personally killed Il Lupo with a poisoned iron fan, or tried it at least. She did so with a sense of urgency as Il Lupo was the last person who knew that Fiora had done possibly damaging things to the Assassins before she sought their aid.With the last of his streagth he pulled a dagger an fought with her, he had many chances to strike her with his dagger or his switch blade, he just didn´t want to kill her.He pushed her beside to kill a guard who came from behind.More guard´s rushed to them.Lupo picked up the sword of the dead guard sword and told her to run he will buy her some time.She managed to escape.Lupo had a resistance to poison, he still could fight but he has thrown the sword in a guard´s head an ran.The guards in whole roma were arlerted and tried to hunt him down.It was only a mater of time that a guard has stroke him down.He tried to evade his attack, it was to late the sword has already stabed him in his poisoned wound.A assassin killed the guard and Fiora ran to Lupo´s half dead body.He admited that he he loved her and protected her with his life.Those were the last word Lupo has spoken.

The Plunge of Death
The Prowler leaps from a rooftop above, onto the target, forcing them to the ground and plunging the blade into their skull. The target dies instantly.
Headache
The Prowler runs up behind his target and shoves his blade through the back of their head.
