Dandy

The Dandy (harvested from: Alphonse de Marigot) was an Animi Avatar used by the entertainment branch of Abstergo Industries, as part of their plan to influence the general public, via the console stage of the Animus technology. He wielded a hook as his specialty weapon.
==Unique Moves==
(Low Profile, Front)
Approaching his target, the Dandy grabs his hook, before swinging it in a downwards arc and piercing it into their left shoulder. As the weapon lodges itself into his victim, he kicks their left knee from underneath them, sending them spinning onto their back as his claw rips a savage wound when it frees itself with the momentum.
(Low Profile, Back)
Casually walking over to his target from behind, the Dandy draws his hook, before reaching around and stabbing it into their neck. As they stand vulnerable from the blow, he closes the distance and grasps their shoulder, before the Dandy twists his victim and wrenches his weapon sharply to the right, slitting their throat and spinning them, where they stumble and fall to their death.
(High Profile, Front)
Swiftly running up to his target, the Dandy uses the momentum to swing his hook into his victim's neck, causing them to stand limp. He then kicks their left knee from behind, causing them to fall to their knees while the weapon still lodged in their neck further opens their wound. The Dandy then forcibly tears out his hook, as his victim falls over to the ground, lifeless.
(High Profile, Back)
Nearing his target from behind, the Dandy stabs his victim in the left arm with his hook. Following this, he wrenches his weapon to the right to make his target face him. Before they could do anything in response, the Dandy latches his hook into their chest and brutally tears it downwards, bringing his victim to their knees before falling backwards and dying from their wound.
(Personal High Profile, Front)
Forgoing a stealthy approach, the Dandy swiftly stabs his hook under their jaw, piercing their throat. Once his weapon is embedded under their chin, he cruelly twists his hook around, spinning them from their feet, before forcefully dragging them towards the floor. As they crash into the ground beneath them, the Dandy's victim is left to bleed while he casually replaces his hook at his belt.
(Personal High Profile, Back)
Approaching his target from behind, the Dandy takes his hook in his right hand and grabs their arm with his left one. Following this, he stabs his weapon into the side of their neck, before dragging his victim around and flipping them over his claw, cruelly slashing through their throat with the momentum.
(Aerial Kill)
Jumping onto his target from above, the Dandy draws his hook and raises it above his head, before swinging it down into their jugular as he collides with them. As their body breaks his fall, he rips his weapon out of his victim, before sheathing his hook at his side.
(Bench Kill)
The Dandy grabs his seated target's foot and drags them off the bench, until their head rests against it. Before his victim can do anything to defend themselves, the Dandy forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking their neck on the bench behind them.
