Assassin Dens were towers used by the Assassins to keep control over a city, used across several Mediterranean cities, during the 16th century.

History

During 1511, Ezio Auditore liberated the Assassin Dens in Constantinople from the Byzantine Templars' control, using several strategic attacks; he then replaced the Templar influence with a well-ordered den of his fellow Assassins. However, whenever he became notorious, Templars would attempt to retake the dens, which if not directly guarded by a Master Assassin would require Ezio to personally oversee the defense of.

Ezio could select Assassins to guard the Dens for him to train to become Master Assassins. Upon reaching this rank, the Master Assassin overseeing the den would assure that Templars could not retake it, regardless of Ezio's notoriety.

Captains

Den Captains were very skilled guards who guarded the Dens from the Assassins. Ezio would have to use his talent to see which was the Templar Captain among regular guards and kill him.

Trivia

• Retaking a den will increase the amount of ziplines in the district.
• It has been stated by Alexandre Amancio that Assassin Dens will play an integral part in the development and creation of Ezio's bombs.
• When an Templar Den Captain is killed and the retreat signal is lit, other nearby guards will retreat.
• The role of an Templar Den Captain is similar to that of the Borgia Tower Captains.
• Replacing a Templar Den with an Assassin Den will switch Templar guards in the area with Ottoman guards, who will still react to crimes, but are not immediately hostile. Ottoman guards will fight Templar guards if they meet, such as when investigating a body or when drawn together by a Cherry bomb.
