Prowler



"His blade imitating the lethal methods of the Assassins, La Lupo takes his victims from the shadows."

- Ubisoft Description

The Prowler ( La Lupo) is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood who wields a switchblade. Despite his similarity to the Assassins, the Prowler 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.

The Neck Breaker:
The Prowler 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 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.

Trivia



 * A mysterious beige-robed identical character, previously nicknamed the "Caramel Hunter" and the "Female Hunter" has been spotted in several multiplayer images. Once an unknown character, she has now been identified as "The Smuggler."
 * Plunge of Death, a special move used by the Prowler, is actually an Air Assassination, a move frequently used by the Assassin Order.
 * The Noble can also perform the Plunge of Death with his claw.
 * On the back of the Prowler's cape is a Knights Templar cross.
 * His name, "La Lupo," means "The Wolf," however, this may be seen as a mistranslation, as "La" is an Italian "female article," thus making the correct translation "Il Lupo."
 * He was previously known as the Hunter.
