In 2012, the Templar agent Daniel Cross carried one such gun during his hunt for the Assassin Desmond Miles. First tracking him down to Freedom Tower in Manhattan on 16 November,Assassin's Creed: Initiates – The Desmond Files: "Freedom Tower" Daniel cornered him at gunpoint. However, Desmond easily disarmed Daniel and knocked him out before escaping with a Precursor battery.Assassin's Creed III – Modern Tower During their second encounter in São Paulo, Brazil on 2 December,Assassin's Creed: Initiates – The Desmond Files: "American Gladiators" Daniel coldly shot a woman and her husband before Desmond could save them.

On 14 December,Assassin's Creed: Initiates – The Desmond Files: "Game's Over" Daniel cornered Desmond one last time with the pistol as his mortal adversary fought his way through Abstergo's Rome facility to rescue his father, who was captive of Warren Vidic. Just as Daniel was about to execute Desmond, however, he suffered a Bleeding Effect episode that threw him into a frenzy. After firing wildly at Desmond and failing to land a shot, Daniel fled in a panic, but Desmond chased him down and killed him with his Hidden Blade. The Assassin then retrieved Daniel's Mark 23 for his own, using it to devastating effect as he snap-shot the rest of the Abstergo security personnel he encountered on his way to his father.Assassin's Creed III – Return to Abstergo
