Prowler

"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.

Unique Moves
Headache (Low Profile, Back)

The Prowler sneaks up behind his target and and activates the mechanism on his wrist, forming his weapon. When his switchblade is ready, he stabs his victim through the back of their head, piercing their brain in the process. With his stealth attack, it causes his target to briefly go rigid, before dropping to the floor after he removes his blade and conceals it.

Piercing Embrace (Low Profile, Front)

The Prowler calmly approaches his target, before stabbing his switchblade into one of his victim's lungs, while simultaneously using his other hand to pull them further onto the blade. As he pulls his target closer to him, the motion causes increased damage as the blade pierces their internal organs. Then, after withdrawing his switchblade and allowing the mechanism on his wrist to hide it, the Prowler gently pushes his target's dead body to the floor.

Pinpoint Ejection (High Profile, Back)

The Prowler runs up to his target, before grabbing their right arm and stabbing them in the back, severing their spine. He then yanks the blade out backwards and pulls his victim behind him, before sheathing his switchblade away with the wrist-mounted mechanism as he watches them lie spread-eagle on the floor.

Close Quarter Slaughter (High Profile, Front) 

The Prowler runs up to his target from the front and leaps upon them, sending them to the floor as he lands on their chest. Then, as his victim is left helpless, he releases the mechanism on his switchblade and stabs his target in the chest, impaling their heart and killing them instantly.

Ripchord (Bench Kill)

The Prowler approaches his seated target and forcefully pulls them up from the bench. As they are left dazed slightly from the sudden movement, he stabs his victim with his switchblade as he holds on to their arm, before brutally yanking the blade free and letting go, leaving his target to stagger slightly before falling to the floor, dead.

Vulture's Descent (Aerial Kill) 

The Prowler leaps from a rooftop above onto his target, forcing them to the ground as he lands on them, before plunging his switchblade into their skull. The target dies instantly as their brain is pierced, while he stands up and conceals his weapon.
