Prowler

The Prowler is a multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. His weapon is the switchblade and his real name is La Lupo.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.

 * A recent image from IGN (right) appears to confirm the inclusion of a female Prowler, as well as variations of other characters.
 * Plunge of Death, a special move used by the Prowler, is actually an Air Assassination.
