"You can hunt those who bear false witness against you. They traded dignity for coin. Their loss would not be mourned."
Paola speaking to Ezio Auditore about officials.[src]

Officials were minor assassination targets during the Renaissance who falsely claimed to have witnessed crimes committed by the Assassins and testified against them.

If Ezio Auditore committed an illegal act in an Italian city, officials, who were respected members of society, would accept Templar bribes and begin to falsely declare that they had personally witnessed him committing those acts.[1]

Ezio would often seek out officials to assassinate them and silence their testimonies. However, most of the officials throughout Italy were paranoid and would flee upon sight of the Assassin unless he was blending with nearby civilians.[1]

In Constantinople during the 16th century, officials would stay and combat Ezio should they spot him, and were always accompanied by a pair of Byzantine militia.[2]

Trivia

  • Officials always carry some currency, which can be looted from their bodies after killing them. However, they rarely carry anything else.
  • Officials in Constantinople wear the same clothes as Bankers.
