Armor of Brutus
The Armor of Brutus is an unbreakable set of armor available in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. The armor was the greatest possession of a mysterious cult wolfskin wearing warriors called the Followers of Romulus. The armor is unlocked by obtaining all Romulus scrolls and keys from the six secret lairs throughout the city of Rome.
It is the strongest armor in game and is found alongside the Dagger of Brutus. Like the Armor of Altaïr, the Armor of Brutus has 25 health diamonds, cannot be dyed and is unbreakable.
Appearance
The armor looks much bulkier than Ezio Auditore's Master Assassin robes due to the fur cloak that is padded along the pauldron. The fur is implied to be of tribute to Romulus, and thus it is implied to be wolf fur. There is a silver eagle on the right shoulder that holds the cape up, as well as a silver eagle on the waist area where the Assassin symbol would normally be, which has been relocated to being painted right above on the mid-abdomen section of the armor.
The armor comes with a grey, short-sleeved robe that is worn underneath the breastplate. The bottom of the robes are in three layers, each one on top of the other, and come down to Ezio's knees. However, the bottoms act almost like a kilt, completely covering the legs, whereas the Master Assassin robes part at the sides to keep movement unencumbered. This does not affect mobility in the game, however.
The armor set consists of both metal and leather. The chest armor and spaulders are mostly metal, while the vambraces and greaves are completely leather. The vambraces and greaves are also very plain looking pieces of armor, having very little design compared to the rest of the armor. Unlike the vambraces bought in the game, the Vambraces of Brutus cover both of Ezio's forearms instead of only his right. The hood and cape, which appear to be connected, are colored red with a golden trim on the cape.
Trivia
- The eagle-motif of the armor, the beak-shaped appearance of the hood, and the Assassin insignia on the armor's back strongly implies that Marcus Junius Brutus, the original owner of the armor, was a member of the Assassin Order.
- The Armor of Brutus gives the same amount of health to Ezio as the Seusenhofer armor set. The only difference between these two sets is that the Armor of Brutus is unbreakable, and the Seusenhofer armor allows Ezio to wear his regular, customizable robes.
