Yes it makes sense. The Assassin insignia is embroidered in gold on their fanny packs (te-he). They automatically try to defend you when ur busted but scram once Connor started swinging. One froze so we have our first major glitch in the game. Circle above the head indicates allies (Assassins, NPCs at hiding spots, etc).
