Dilara voiced by Nadia Verrucci is an Ottoman spy sent by Tarik Barleti to infiltrate the Byzantine Templars' hideout in Cappadociato observe their movements and make preparations for when Tarik and his men would attack them.

However, several hours into the prologue we find that his allegiance is truly aligned with the Templars. It was a stunning plot twist to the series for its time. He can be described as impulsive, careless, and easily provoked. Jacob, and his twin sister, Evie, were brought up as Assassins following the death of their father. Evie flourished in the philosophy and teachings of the Assassins.

Jacob, however, would feel entrapped by the principles of their order. Naturally a man of action, Jacob would have the tendency to leap into situations and let his fists do the talking. This mentality often caused collateral damage in the moment, something that Jacob would shrug off when scorned by his sister. Nevertheless, Jacob was highly instrumental as the founder of the Rooks, an anti-Templar crime syndicate.

He and his sister, Kassandra, will share mostly similar stories regardless of who you choose. That said, Alexios fills in the expected tough-guy moniker. Should you choose Kassandra over Alexios, then the latter takes on the identity of Deimos.

For someone who never had any assassin training at all, Desmond Miles went pretty far ahead after just a few months or years of learning through virtual reality. Well, it could be that the bleeding effect gave him a leg up but keep in mind that his muscles and bones weren't even built like his predecessors.

Shao Jun is one of the lesser-known protagonists in the game series since she's from Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China. However, compared to most assassins here, her journey is one of the most impressive. There are many assassins in gaming. But most don't measure up to these killers.

She started off as a rescued concubine who swore vengeance on her Templar masters.

The elder and more level-headed Frye twin is Evie. While her brother preferred action and fast results, Evie was a firm believer in cloak-and-dagger tactics, and the core tenets of the Brotherhood. As a master tactician, Evie disliked behaving recklessly, which often put her at odds with her brother. Between her proficiency at stealth and expertise with silent weapons like throwing knives, Evie is a formidable opponent who took down a number of Templar targets, and even Jack the Ripper.

Edward Kenway has quite an impressive resume when it comes to Master Assassins. Some fans like Connor's gentle nature and the way he's used to explore racial themes, but others find him one of the franchise's least likable characters. Coming after the beloved Ezio Auditore, the audience may be harder on Connor than they would be in any other game.

Nonetheless, many feel Connor's impulsive tendencies and sullen behavior overshadow his more positive attributes.

Layla Hassan was an Egyptian woman who refined Animus technology with Abstergo.

Her behavior can come across as selfish, inconsistent, and self-sabotaging. To others, these traits make her more interesting than her predecessors. Assassin's Creed Rogue is the third entry in the franchise's North American saga and the first game to have its historical protagonist be an avowed Templar. After unintentionally causing a tragedy, Shay Cormac becomes disillusioned with the Assassin's Brotherhood and joins the franchise's recurring villains.

Aside from his role in the story, Shay's characterization feels like a retread of several other characters. However, he still wins supporters for his clash of loyalties, his genuine regrets over his prior actions, and his devotion to the Templars. His upbringing is more luxurious than other protagonists, and he possesses some genuinely sympathetic traits, but sometimes his emotions work against him.

Arno divides Assassin's Creed fans. Some believe he's a compassionate and likably-flawed character who tries to see the best outcome in difficult situations. Others view him as a self-indulgent and naive man who revels in his own irresponsibility. Arno's possessive pursuit of his love interest and his pitiful behavior after his expulsion only add fuel to the fire.
