2. Shay Patrick Cormac – Assassin’s Creed Rogue
Shay Patrick Cormac is a fascinating character, especially considering he’s one of only two villains we’ve gotten to play as in the series. Cormac starts as a promising young assassin, training under Achilles and other skilled warriors in The New World. Certain events cause him to become disillusioned with Assassin Order and their morality, and he leaves to join the Templars. Turning the tables in Assassin’s Creed Rogue is an engaging twist, as Cormac viciously hunts assassin after assassin. He’s also responsible for multiple events in the series, including the crippling of Achilles and killing Arno Dorian’s father. Even more impressive is that we don’t actually see or hear of the death of Shay Patrick Cormac, as he basically lived out the rest of his days as a master assassin hunter.
