Hessian

This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

The Hessian (real name: Gerhard von Stantten) was an Animi Avatar used by the entertainment branch of Abstergo Industries, as part of their plan to influence the general public, via the console stage of the Animus technology. His specialty weapon was a wooden, hand-crafted rifle.

Unique Moves

(Low Profile, Front)

The Hessian approaches his target with his rifle, before lunging its bayonet into their abdomen, pericing his victim's vital organs. Following this, his victim stumbles back from the blow as he roughly pulls the rifle away and forcefully swings the firearm around, striking the butt of the rifle into the side of his victim's face, knocking them to the floor, where they bleed profusely from their wound.

(Low Profile, Back)

Casually approaching his target from behind, the Hessian takes his rifle and thrusts its bayonet through their right calf, severing the muscle and splitting the bone. As his victim falls to their knees in pain, he pulls out the bayonet and flips his rifle around to bring the butt as it crashes down onto their head, crushing the back of their skull.

(High Profile, Front)

The Hessian runs up to his target and draws his rifle, throwing it to his victim. Surprised, they catch the weapon as the Hessian strikes, punching their face twice: in the cheek bone, then in the jaw, before they lose balance and fall backwards while dropping his rifle. He then catches it as his victim lays on the floor, stunned. Before they can react, the Hessian aims his rifle directly to their face before pulling the trigger, sending a bullet straight to their brain, killing them instantly.

(High Profile, Back)

The Hessian rushes behind his target before hastily impaling his rifle into his victim's back, piercing vital organs and breaking the spinal cord as the bayonet can be seen sliding out of their abdomen. As they limp forward in agony, he pulls the trigger, sending a bullet out of their stomach as it forces them to slide out of the weapon. His target would fall flat on the ground as the Hessian formally twists his rifle before setting it behind his back.

(Aerial Kill)

The Hessian descends upon his target with his rifle readily pointed downwards. As he pounces on his target, gravitational forces and the thrust of his arms send his bayonet through his victim's chest, subsequently piercing their heart.

(Bench Kill)

The Hessian grabs his seated target's foot and drags them off the bench, until their head rests against it. Before his victim can do anything to defend themselves, the Hessian forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking his target's neck on the bench behind them.
