Blacksmith (Animi Avatar)

"More than a mere tool, his Hammer defines the Blacksmith. He hits it hard against huge pieces of metal, making a strong and powerful sound. The Blacksmith uses the same gestures to smash his targets' heads. Funny, he often muses, the sound is quite different then..."

- Ubisoft Description

The Blacksmith (real name Auguste Oberlin) is an unlockable multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. He uses a large hammer as his weapon and appears in the single-player mode of Brotherhood as a Templar Agent. To unlock the Blacksmith, the player has to reach level 15.

Unique Moves
Backbreaker (Low Profile, Front)

The Blacksmith walks up to his target and grabs them by the back and behind the legs with both of his hands, before lifting his victim high above his head and violently slamming their back onto his knee, snapping their spine. Finished with his target, he flips them off of his knee and drops their lifeless body to the ground, before standing up and carrying on as usual.

Stress Testing (Low Profile, Back)

The Blacksmith sneaks up to his target from behind before forcefully places his hammer across his victim's throat, holding his weapon at both ends of the handle, before twisting it and snapping their neck, sending their dead body spinning to the floor. He then conceals his hammer by replacing it on his back.

The Facial Temperer (High Profile, Front)

The Blacksmith runs at his target, before knocking them helpless to the floor and riding his hammer head downwards into his victim's face. Standing up, the Blacksmith moves his hammer from side to side before dislodging it and walking away, leaving his target's dead body with a bloody mess for a head.

High Impact Forging (High Profile, Back)

The Blacksmith runs up behind his target, before taking out his hammer and violently sweeping his victim's legs from beneath them, causing them to fall backwards. He then swings the hammer around, onto his target's face, crushing it messily and killing them instantly.

Hammerhead Hemorrhage (Bench Kill)

The Blacksmith approaches his seated target, before hooking his hammer underneath their foot, dragging his victim from the bench onto the floor by their ankle, and taking his hammer and smashing its head downward into his target's face.

Mjölnir of Thor (Aerial Kill)

The Blacksmith jumps from a rooftop and lands on his victim, forcing them to the ground as he straddles their waist, before delivering a powerful hammer strike to his victim's head, killing them instantly and splatting blood everywhere. Afterwards, the Blacksmith stands upright and conceals his hammer, before walking away from the gruesome mess of a body.

Trivia

 * It is stated that the Blacksmith was a Swiss mercenary.
 * Since the Blacksmith never receives an armguard or sleeve of somekind on his left arm to attach a Hidden Gun, whenever the Hidden Gun is equipped on him, it will appear as if it is internally attached to his skin.
 * Even though the multiplayer character, his database picture, promotional artwork, and his profession all have/use hammers, he fights with a bearded axe against Ezio in the single player Templar assignment.
 * While the promotional artwork of the Blacksmith features his hammer as having a black hammerhead, the character's weapon in-game shows his hammer with a silver head and having small domes inside the ends.
