Changes: Executioner

Revision as of 11:34, 25 May 2012

"Cold hearted, merciless and brutal, the Executioner is not afraid of killing in broad daylight. His Axe is his murder weapon, the blood traces on his apron the only remains of his victims."

―Ubisoft description.

The Executioner (real name: Il Carnefice) was an Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries to train their recruits in the Animi Training Program. He used a sharp hand axe as his primary weapon, to which the Templar cross could clearly be seen upon it.

Unique Moves

The Executioner had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Back)

The Executioner sneaks behind his target and grabs them from the hip, before lifting his victim into the air and smashing them into the ground, head-first. The victim's weight is directed to the back of their neck, snapping the spinal cord and killing them instantly.

(Low Profile, Front)

The Executioner approaches his target from the front, before taking out his axe and swinging it into the side of his victim's neck. The force from the blow severs their spinal cord and jugular, instantly killing his unlucky target.

(High Profile, Back)

The Executioner grabs his target from behind and pulls them down to their knees, holding them in a firm grip, before raising his axe above his head with his other hand and digging the weapon into his victim's back with force. He then frees his axe by kicking his victim's body forwards with his foot.

(High Profile, Front)

The Executioner runs at his target from the front, before removing his axe from his back and hacking at their chest with it. Afterwards, as he removes his weapon forcefully, his victim falls to the ground, dead from their wound.

(Bench Kill)

The Executioner grabs his target by the head, before dragging them off the bench and throwing them down to the floor. As they attempt to lift themselves up, the Executioner swings his axe down, chopping into his victim's back and severing their spine.

(Aerial Kill)

The Executioner leaps from a rooftop onto his target, while using the momentum from above to wedge his axe into his target's head, shattering their skull and cutting into their brain. He then brutally pulls out his axe and stands up, storing his weapon away as he leaves his victim's dead body laying on the floor.

Trivia

The Executioner is the first Animi Avatar whose counterpart is assassinated in the single player campaign.
The Italian word for executioner is "carnefice", hence the Executioner's real name literally means "the executioner".
In comparison to the Engineer, who would seem to be a more withdrawn individual, the Executioner's killing animations appear to be less brutal than his.
