"Brother Ristoro vowed a life of piety and poverty, but practiced neither. A paranoid, dangerous man."

- Ubisoft Description

The Priest (real name: Brother Ristoro) is a multiplayer character available in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. The priest uses the Dagger as his weapon. (In the Beta it is shown the blade of the dagger retracts into the hilt.) It is stated by Ubisoft that he will make an appearance in the single player mode in Assassins Creed Brotherhood as well, along with the other multiplayer characters. He is also stated to be a paranoid and dangerous man.

Sacrificial Strike
If performed from behind the target, the Priest will run up to his target and dig his dagger into the victim's upper back, causing them to go limp until the Priest pulls his dagger out of the target's back, after which they fall to the ground. The move is reminiscent of ancient religious human sacrificial rites throughout the world, like Mayan and Aztec.

If the move is performed while the target is facing the Priest, he will either kick the target's stomach, causing them to bend down, and then deal a strike to the victim's vertebra or simply thrust the dagger into his targets abdomen, killing them instantly.

A similar move is performed by Ezio if he attacks a unarmed enemy with a short blade.

Trivia

 * Ristoro is Italian for "Restoration" or "Renovation". Probably referent to the Templar's mission.
