Haytham Kenway picking a lock in the Theatre Royal
Lockpicking is a skill in which an individual uses instruments to break a locking mechanism and gain access to either a location, or to take items of worth from a container.[1] As such, it has been adopted by both the Assassins and Templars.
During the Renaissance, the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore used his Hidden Blade to unlock and enter certain secret locations which usually kept desirable objects away from the attention of the general populace.[2] During his search for the Masyaf Keys, Ezio used the Hookblade created by the Ottoman Assassins to gain access to several more hidden locations in Constantinople in a manner similar to picking a lock with the Hidden Blade.[3]
With centuries of advancements in locksmithing, by the 18th century, lockpicking required the use of picks and tension wrenches to hold lock pins in place before opening the lock itself. The Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac used considerable brute force when lockpicking barred doors.[4] Both Haytham Kenway and his son Connor were shown to be skilled lockpickers.[5] During the French Revolution, Arno Dorian used lockpicking to open doors and chests, eventually becoming a skilled lockpicker well into his tenure as an Assassin.[6]
