Who is Shay Patrick Cormac
Where Rogue Fits Into the Assassin’s Creed Timeline
At the beginning of the game, Shay Patrick Cormac is a member of the Colian America Assassin Brotherhood, but he’s just an initiate. While Cormac is relegated to a secondary role at first, Achilles believes giving him an important task can help the young man prove himself. Because of this, Cormac is given the task of hunting down a Piece of Eden that was stolen from the Caribbean Assassins.
His search takes him to Lisbon, but along the way starts to doubt the intentions of the Brotherhood. When he retrieves the piece, a massive earthquake levels the city, shaking Cormac’s beliefs to his core. A string of events leads him to join the Templars, and he becomes a dangerous Assassin hunter, whose sole goal is to hunt down his former mentors. Cormac is actually introduced to the Templar Order by Haytham Kenway, the father of Connor in Assassin’s Creed III and a central character of that game. Over the years Cormac becomes an infamous Assassin hunter, and he eventually ventures to Versailles in order to track down a dangerous item the Brotherhood was using to locate Pieces of Eden. While Rogue is a side story, Cormac’s role in the overall narrative is quite a bit deeper than you’d expect.
