Official

Officials were minor assassination targets who falsely claimed to have witnessed crimes committed by the Assassins and testified against them.
During the Renaissance, 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.Assassin's Creed IIAssassin's Creed: Brotherhood
As his notoriety grew, Ezio would often seek out officials and assassinate them to 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.
In Constantinople, during the 16th century, officials would stay and combat Ezio should they spot him, and were always accompanied by a pair of militia from the Byzantine army.Assassin's Creed: Revelations
In New Orleans, Aveline de Grandpré had to deal with witnesses in a similar vein, since they would spread word of her aristocratic guise's illegal acts. Due to their paranoia, witnesses were difficult to eliminate without attracting further attention and always possessed a pair of bodyguards that deterred Aveline if she was spotted. As such, utilizing discreet weapons including the blowpipe or the parasol gun would achieve greater success than a full-on assault.Assassin's Creed III: Liberation
During the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean, officials were naval officers who could be bribed by Edward Kenway to decrease his wanted level. They were no longer assassination targets, and could be easily found on the docks of any city, fort or inhabited island.
