Assassin's Creed - Why Did Shay Defect to The Templars? 

out of respect for achilles probably. Since he spares his life at the end

Do not compromise the Brotherhood. In his way he was honouring that tennet I suppose.

Fam he compromised the brotherhood alright. He took over assassins camps, killed dozens of their recruits, hunted and murdered his friends and he stole the precursor items from the assassins for the templars. That’s the definition of compromising something.

@@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE which is why I say in his own way. He fought them because he saw it as his duty but he never went back to the homestead at any point to finish the job. He left them to hobble along until Connor and Aveline would rise in the Frontier Brotherhood

That just shows that Shay didn't want to kill the assassins, he just wanted to do what's right

Awww sad

So this takes place before connor so how does this even fit in and y isn't shay in ac3

@@aaronmesser7482 no one knows why shay wasn't in AC3

@@aaronmesser7482 Shay was in Europe during AC3 I believe.

Shay didn't saw himself as a templar or an assassin. So i think he just quit

The system works lmao

Hmm yes loophole

More like, Colonial Assassins:

I mean, an earthquake isn't a blade.

@@suicidalbunny1608 loopholes are the worst

Well the meme doesnt work very well there, as the sith actually were evil, at the time the templars were more noble and good than the assassins in that area

Nooo... It's: "Then you are shot ! "

Arcanus ツ the Templar’s are trying to enslave the world....pretty evil to me

Arcanus ツ they aren’t The Assassins are good guys it’s that Achilles and the others (Except Adewale) are Corrupt Assassins that’s why they work with criminals,Pirates,Smugglers,Bounty hunters,

@@howardthealien2606 so what you are saying... Is that the leadership of the assassins were corrupt... And yet... The assassins were the good guys... When they were corrupt?

Tachanka of chinchillas No I like next gen.

well if I said "shay left the brotherhood because he didn't like that they were moving to current gen" it would have half the impact now would it? it would just sound ridiculous

They caused a machine to destroy a city

No he left because they chose to leave him in the outdated last gen.

Darth Maul Quasar Actually the assassins were trying to get pieces of eden but actually were touching things that held up the world and made shay destroy a city Then they didn’t listen to him so he tried to stop them Shay then joined the templars to stop them

Fraser Souris never thought it that way

Yup

Or it exposes the assassins for what they really are: power hungry murderers

@@deaconcarter3459 yo facts. They are hypocrites to the max. Templars are douches but what they stand for is more important. Order is better than "freedom" aka chaos

@@spiderman9972 especially since we cant deny humans have so many flaws

An Assassin that had just been shot and left for dead by his comrades. They knew he had a falling out with the Brotherhood. Monro admitted it to him in his letters.

@@RawPower867 true, but they still had no reason to help him. They had the manuscript, they didn't really need him alive. Yet they still chose to help him and give him a chance, more than the brotherhood had done.

@@splicer0169 there's plenty of reason. A defecting assassin would have a lot of secret information about the assassin brotherhood and their Isu knowledge. Plus he's already trained and ready to go back into killing for the templars

@@jumnei5159 at that point why not just nurse him back to a talking state and torture the information out of him? I think their intentions were genuine, him being trained and working for them was an added bonus.

@@splicer0169 then you'd have lost a perfectly trained, experience and skilled soldier. And willing to join the enemy team too

Yessir

Ezio would give achilles the finger

Altair got betraid.. kinda first, a lot later on, but always staied true to the brotherhood.

@@grimoknobel Would have been different if he got shot and lied to.

he then unintentionally caused the french revolution

Like trying to destroy the templars at any cost. Even destroying entire cities. By removing the devices

shay hale no homo tho

The Brotherhood in the colonial branch were lead by a grieving old man who is angry at what he has lost. His wife and child.

@shay hale 🤣

Either the assassins and templars are closer than they each think, both claim to seek peace and better the lives of the little guy yet both are willing to overlook the deaths of a few for the hypothetical betterment of the future. Or AC:Rogue has lazy story telling as seen in the assassins disregaurd of the lives of the innocent and aim to gas people indiscriminately. It'd be more intersting if shey deffected because be changed his mind that humanity needs laws and structure and that throwing scociety into a tailspin by killing those in charge is not a productive way to solve the worlds problems and actually sets people back by forceing them to live in panic.

@@checkmate058 who asked

@@user-uz8ou8mx8w who cares

Q

Rolls lol

He says that Anchiles is ignorant to the turn of events later in the video. What Anchiles is denying, however, is the possibility that the precursor site and the subsequent earthquakes are directly related, hence his suggestion that Shay made an error.

He only realized later on and even then Liams says "What does he know?" and when Shay calls out on Achillis's bs the only thing Achillis says is "Disrespectful to the end"

@Alexander Brunnrgaard Achilles just sucked as a mentor and an Assassin then, lmao

@Alexander Anttila Actually, the way that conversation went is that no one knew if Mackandal’s man had even found the site to begin with, and so Adewale and Achilles surmised that the earthquake was a complete coincidence by that point. Had Mackandal’s man survived, he could’ve testified what these sites were long before Shay was ever sent to Lisbon.

It only took the destruction of his entire branch of the Assassin Brotherhood to show him.

DJ Double Donut yes and Achilles wasn't ready to be mentor yet, he wasn't wise enough

DJ Double Donut They're all a bunch of dicks now, what do you think Altiar would've done in Achilles position. (rhetorical question)

It's the reason why Assassins almost gone during Desmond's era.

feyzal92 no, the reason was because the assasin was poor organization. templar have connection with lot goverment around the world, and they have abstergo.

madridista sejati Thank you Captain Obvious. I don't see how mine contradict the point of the OP was trying to make.

You don't just join people who want to enslave humanity...

That's why they called it Rogue. 😂

UA Sucka really? WOW!! Oh ok thanks for the info dude. 😀😮

If that were true, he wouldn't have stayed with the Templars for over 20 years after he killed his former comrades in order to find the Precursor box.

Mmm actually, I'm inclined to disagree. He is an Anti-hero, true. But he is a Templar True and True.

Not really brotherhood is still fine and well in edwards time as a pirate

I am pretty sure it was only this group of Assassins that have fallen. The colonial brotherhood was corrupt.

Not the brotherhood itself, just that branch.

Remember what balec said in ac unity about the grandmaster of the assassins in paris and the other places he mentions

Connor didn’t bring it back. His whole mission was one of misplaced revenge, not on order or peace. He was angry kid throwing a tantrum from the start of the game to the end. Not to mention he was rather rude to Achilles in a lot of the cutscene. Actually he was rude to a lot of people, and sure as shit did not know how to keep a low profile

yes they will slap you to death like a true man

Nitch42 ^-^ aye that would be sick

Well he was...kinda. Abstergo made a story out of it.

Why would he kill Conor, Punished Fernando?

Yes

haha, Altair mentioned this hypocrisy once in one of his letters.

Yeah, the full synch objectives even said that Shay didn’t kill anyone while fleeing

You damn right they should sit down and talk about it try to find peace together for once we need unity and peace and freewill we are humans not petty gods we need to start sticking together instead of a wedge driving us apart

kill Achilles? why? because he disagrees with him? that is soo right for a reason to kill someone.

What's interesting is that Connor makes the same suggestion later on, and Achilles is less willing to dismiss it

@@apidas Reminds me of Arno sassing Bellec in Unity. "Yes, killing everyone who disagrees with you is a brilliant way to start your rise from the ashes"

That sounds like a quote from a Bible verse

Well said 👏

@@Imakeplaylists-in1pw I was utilizing quotations as a means of focusing on my main point.

Minus the god-awful Unity stealth & combat!

it isnt awful every almost every assassins creed game is easy as hell since the combat is far far too easy stealth fucking horrible but then again i sorta of like it i dont know why though

It's amazing that a terrible launch can magnify all the negatives of a game and land it in the spot of infamy. I guarantee you that Unity would've been considered an ok/ decent AC title in many people's eyes if it launched properly. It did have so much potential

Cristian Lopez For real, it had 4 person online co-op for fucks sake. It was as if this game couldn't fail in any capacity from the start and then it launched..... Lol Granted it was a hell of a lot of fun while we got to actually play it since it was so heavily fucked up in the beginning. But in the end you can only play like 5 maps, repetitive and still littered with bugs. I agree with you but you must understand the outrage when you buy a game and it's basically 90% of the time broken. But without the bugs and glitches it was decent, not the best story but definitely not the worst either.

hulkcrusher69 Oh I understand why people were and still are pissed about Unity. It along with Watchdogs is one of the reasons why nobody trusts Ubisoft till this day. I know they've done just as dumb shit before that too, but I've never seen as much cynicism towards them till all that happened in 2014.

I see through the lies of the Assassins!

Andrew Shay my allegiance is to the assasins, to democracy!

@@vegetaprinceofdrip663 no he didnt, he didnt say: the artifact caused the earthquake. Also for someone who defected cause he killed innocents he seems to be fin killing innocents as a templar

Bro we know shay was banging hope come one that's all the good the assassin's did for him

@Ryan Walker Luck isn't the only shay makes

@@icecoldwolfz lmao 😂

Giga chad:shay on no sides

Mic Craiger Well, the change in Rogur was that if you kill civilians as either an assassin or templar, you don't desynch but head hunters get sent after you

I think Shay becomes kind of an utilitarian: he thinks it's ok to kill a few people should that be necessary for securing their goal, thus saving more lives, which would be the greater good, and so do the Templars. "One more hardly matters"

Innoceny 1234 smoke bombs, darts, grenades

glitch in the animus allows civillian killing

Mic Craiger if you murder innocents because of a artifact and your leader wants to find more causing genocide and you have to deal with guilt for the rest of your life because you saw the innocent screaming for help knowing that you couldn’t do anything and watch them die as you barley escape. And having your leaders actually not admitting they fucked up and try to kill you because you realize you couldn’t reason with them and your trying to do the right thing. And they even admit that he was right in the end so no shay makes perfect sense for leaving plus the way all of them except Liam treat him but then again he shot him in back

That doesn’t give shay the right to kill Argos dad what did Argos dad do to him

Also Arno dad doesn’t even know shay and they crossed paths so how the hell does shay know know about him

@@therealbrendanc9905 who is Argos

Fizhy is either joking or as dumb as a rock.

@@therealbrendanc9905 probably because he had something to do with the colonial assassin

RezDog My thoughts are the same

Errol Tan Thanks:)

Rajun Dhami I can see that, it's like the Templars are Republicans and the Assassins are Democrats. Now I don't hate any political parties because I consider myself a modernist so I think that both parties have some good points.

Rajun Dhami Yea, I saw a video by Fizhy I believe, and he was talking about both sides and which should be right. He talked about how Assassins believe peace should be through freedom but freedom could lead to chaos, and that the Templars believe that peace should be through control but rules can be broken. So there really is no right or wrong side.

RezDog also the morrigan, 3 different maps and pengiuns

Two Ink that would've been badass.

Two Ink sounds amazing

Be the lone wolf and Connor will handle that Irish rogue

Two Ink he had to join the Templars so he could have the resources to fight the assassins

Unless he can create another group similar to brotherhood with the same resource and manpower. It will be impossible. Unless we westernise it a bit, where he suddenly go home and pull out a container under his bed filled a Ak-17 and assault musket. And also a dog that can filled your heart with love and the blood of your enemy. And hunt down every single one of them, spouting some one corny line to each assassins killed. Yeah, it will be badass.

I also felt like I saw this in ac3, Connor felt immature and childish a lot of the time. Especially against the guy that wanted to buy the native land in order to protect it. Knowing what happens to the natives after the revolution really makes you think they were right.

I always stand with them they’re are different eras of the brotherhood some good some bad but this era they were greedy

True. You had to resort to extreme measures to save the assassins from their own stupidity and arrogance.

Well, honestly, i felt like the brotherhood was only bad in this game. They basically wrote the assassins like they would write the templars for other ac games. It felt a little cheap for me. But i know it’s a fact that the colonial brotherhood was actually the worst assassins compared to their more organized europeen counterpart.

simon delisle good point. But I think it works wonders for this game as it highlights at not all Templar’s are evil and not assassins are good.

I agree so much!!!!

In AC3 it does show he learned from his mistakes

He was basically Connor, which is why he was so critical of Connor in AC 3. He was trying to get connor to avoid from making his own mistakes.

No, just a poor defense of shay.

@@Amadeus-ni3et look who is right here, an fanboy of the brotherhood that does shit constantly in the Americas

i'm pretty sure if they could Altiar,Ezio,Bayek and Amunet would all come back from the grave just to give Achilles a scheme booting and a lesson in how to mentor

Actually the entire story is similar to Star Wars, what u said was true and Connor is like Luke and Achilles is like obi wan and Shay is like anakin but haytham is more like darth Vader and Charles lee is kind of like Palpatine but not really

Oweeen it makes a lot of sense like that actually

Except Shay is not a retard.

"In my point of view the assassins are evil"

Sevendor yeh lol after Shay got shot off of a cliff

Same, it’s actually my favorite so far from the ones I’ve played.

Too bad he's dead for 300 years or so

DECASLAYER 616, Stay my blade*

DECASLAYER 616 it's stay thy blade from the flesh of the innocent

Febry Maulana shay still messed with perhaps the most powerful and destructively unstable precursors of the franchise

+Febry Maulana Seriously, getting overly literal about the choice of words "blade" instead of seeing that the phrase/rule is talking about ANY killing of innocents IN GENERAL? You guys trying to be wannabe lawyers misconstruing phrasing, lol... It's just figurative language. Your "blade" can be any way or method of killing innocent people, whether directly or indirectly.

There were some subtle hints that she was interested in him. I think Shay knew something was possible.

Yeah clearly. She decided to play the floor is Lava with Shay instead of just killing him. She’s cracked in the head.

@@ghostcreeper243 no kidding. Not to mention with how comfortable she was poisoning the populace it makes me wonder just how messed up this current order of assassins are!

Laughing Octopus, I totally agree with you. What you just pointed out I concluded after I played the game myself long ago. If you have any more opinions I would like to hear what they are.

And Laughing Octopus I too wish that Achilles listened to Shay. So many things would have indeed been different.

Laughing Octopus I completely agree but it would be better if you replace Creed with brotherhood in "How stubborn this creed was"

achilles got less then he deserved he's lucky haytham didn't kill him.

Adewale talked about respect for Edward? Shit, I forgot about that.

TotallyToonsTV yes it does

Agreed. They could've made it at least 8 sequences like Freedom Cry and Liberation. Both were short in relation to AC3 and AC4, but the games felt long, the stories were intriguing, and Aveline and Adewale along with Connor were probably the only Colonial Assassins with their heads on straight.

Lukas Tran Well, it came out the exact same day as A.C. Unity, but I remember not even knowing Rogue existed until I went with my brother to buy Unity. Sure, there were videos and trailer on Ubisoft' s channel, but I didn't know about them until after I bought it...not much marketing effort. Seems to me Ubisoft put most of their attention on towards Unity and treated Rogue as the ugly stepchild. I think they missed a great opportunity to use Rogue as a transition from PS3. The story itself is the best part of Rogue, because it ties up a lot of loose ends in the AC storyline in the Americas, and presents Shay as a transitional link between AC3, AC4 and Unity. They could have done the same thing 2k14 did, put out Rogue at an earlier date, lengthen the story to 8 sequences (like they did with Freedom Cry and Liberation). This would hold a lot of people over until Unity came out. But I guess they wanted to focus on Unity.

Yeah. If you dig into Shay's roots you will see he is in fact irish.

@@matthewmclean4388 yep

The 11th century Templar armor also has a hood that doesn't function. Oh the humanity.

@Chandler Burse more than most countries. George Washington was scared of corruption in the government, so much, he didn't trust himself. Hence why he refused kingship and went with a presidency. The constitution was also created to feature in the nesscary distrust of politicians. Hence why the first amendment is the 1st amendment and why the second amendment is the 2nd ammendment. During the Pacific theater in America dropped leaflets warning of pending destruction of their country. They didn't want to target civilians, but the Japanese were so fanatical as to completely erase their own civilian status. Don't forget the numerous anti war protests all through the country's history.

Like the movie Joker

NFL YoungBoy i actually didn’t love that movie too much, it was definitely a good movie but i thought it beat you over the head a little too much with how sad arthurs life is by literally beating him over the head in multiple scenes😂 but the scene with de niro makes the whole movie. And yeah that would fit into the villain stoty criteria definitely.

sawy sauce yea I understand what your saying but the movie Joker was actually real life scenarios where there are people who dislike there mothers and the government does actually cut funding for those programs and much more.

Me too

I'm like shay cormac as well, and I knew my family is corrupt like the colonial assassins, and I tried to get them to try to talk things out with people and to change their ways of living, but my mom is too stubborn with guilt-tripping gas-lighting toxic positivity combined with the way she tried to put me on meds against my will. Sooner or later, I will leave my family so I can make a New one and see what my life may truly be in an attempt to get people, if properly motivated in their own terms, to protect human liberty and the exercise of free will.

odiwalker you do understand that everyone else in that room was just as much trained, if not better trained than Shay, right?

@@davmohsh Just as much trained for what? Hint: Not calming down and methodically elicit responses from frenzied hysterical assassins.

odiwalker what I am saying is, they would be startled if they were not assassins themselves. They know that Shay was off to Lisbon, so I am pretty sure that they can comprehend what Shay is so furious about. The fact that they don't stop to ask Shay what he's on about is a good indicator that they knew what happened and why. Also, remember that the people in that room included the Mentor of the Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins. Dealing with insane trained assassins is probably just another Tuesday for him.

​@@davmohsh I'm not gonna comment if they knew or could have known about the earthquake cause I think it could only be doable through logical jumps, like you did, but yeah I get you. The thing is both the overly dramatic frenzy and a more understanding approach are not very realistic: one is just too much, the other too neat. However, given that the whole debacle lasts less than a couple minutes before all went fubar it seems to me more understandable that the characters would act on a more wild manner rather than acting with more emotional intelligence and patience. I mean these are fringy-secret society-assassins we're talking about

odiwalker that's the thing about the Colonial Brotherhood in general. If it was any other brotherhood, say, the French one, I think we would see the assassins being at least a little more rational. But the Colonial Brotherhood is mostly just a bunch of cutthroats, rather than actual assassins who hold on to their tenets. So yeah, that's why they acted that way, probably.

Shariq Usoof I dont think Connor would've. He's kinda dense.

The Grandmaster in Black Flag actually disagrees with the idea of Slavery. When Ed gets to Jamaica to kill the old guy holding the Sage the Grandmaster makes a comment during the tail mission that if men's bodies are enslaved their minds will drift towards freedom. Thus giving more of an illusion of choice. Let people do what they want in their own lives and living as free men, they will eventually just fall in line anyways going with popular opinion.

Shariq Usoof I personaly always imagined the story we see is twisted by abstergo so that the templars are the good guys in ther video games

Shariq Usoof dude I can't believe you used up so much of your time to write that comment 😂😂

Eugenio Comelli that's not possible

hope was a bitch

I had so many methods into killing Chevalier though that I lost counts, might as well use those count as a means of combo strikes for longer sword torture. ;)

Lol I also did many ways to kill Chevalier the lamest one was using the puckle gun and my favourite way is either rope dart or shooting the shit out of him

The Union Jack, I Shot the shit out of him. I first thought, that he would be the one shay would kill first out of the Brotherhood. But to my disappointment it was the Black dude(No racism, just forgot his name).

I think my most satisfying kill was Shay's old best friend, because even in the end he had respect for him, have him and honorable death, and they even met on good terms before the guy died. It was a good death.

It's fun

I didn't say that Templars are incorruptible - I said they had the right idea. Big difference. You think it's disgusting to control society, even if that control brings about a utopia. I think it's disgusting to let people continue to make the wrong choices and perpetuate suffering when there's a better solution. Freedom is only good when it has boundaries, and in this case it's worse to let people destroy each other than to institute some control.

*"You assume people are incapable of making the right choice and you want to make that choice for them."* And you assume letting people continuously make the wrong choice will lead to a better outcome. There's a word for that... Freedom above all else sounds noble until that freedom leads to things like despotism, wars, and genocide - the very things you disdain. Templars are not above corruption, but at least they have a code and recognize the world cannot naively fix itself. Compared to the alternative, yes, some form of control is necessary, maybe not to the extent the Templars believe is necessary, but I agree with their philosophy. *"You assume that you can just fix the worlds problems by giving a select few the monopoly of power."* Aren't you also assuming world problems can be fixed by giving people freedom without a leash? If you think a select few with power is bad, what does a whole people with it look like? A people left unchecked and to themselves is just a recipe for anarchy. *"You should read a history book because you sound exactly like what fascists and communist espouse."* I've read a little about the Dark Ages.

*"Freedom doesn't equal anarchy."* Not if it's curtailed. *"In the US, we have freedom but also laws."* And there's still crime, murder, corruption of all sorts, sexual degradation, diseases, abortions, financial enslavement, etc. The Templars wish to rid the world of these woes, even if by absolute rule, peace is rather to be desired by it then waiting, naively believing men will change their nature. How many bodies do we let stack up in the meantime while we're waiting for this supposed global, lasting enlightenment? *"Many people make good decisions and you would punish them by taking away their liberty."* First, it's not punishment to protect people from themselves. Second, people you say who make good decisions only make them because they have to. Any opportunity that is given where they know they can get away with it Scot-free, as it were... 9/10 will choose to break the law. Society (people) is/are only good when there are consequences. Without rule and order humanity shows its true nature. The great lie is that humanity is good at its core and its chief desire is to want to spread goodness to others. Wrong. Humanity is selfish, wicked, rebellious, and murderous. This state of decay cannot be cured by patience, time, and least of all freedom. *"Every time in history where a government has attempted what you Advocate for it had turned into a oppressive dictatorship!"* I'd say that's probably right over the procession of time, but there have been times of dictatorial rule where civil progress was achieved and advancements were made. You had 'Pax Romana' under Augustus Caesar, you had Salazar of Portugal, and Josef Pilsudsky of Poland. There's also Lee Kuan Yew, Prime Minister of Singapore. The idea that dictatorships are bad because they're dictatorships & therefore they're bad is ridiculous. Under the right leadership dictatorships can be quite beneficial, and history does show this. The Templar Order seeks to establish peace & prosperity as well. While their methods are, granted, extreme at times, I feel the ends really do justify the means. If some must die in order for billions to be saved in the long-run, how great is that sacrifice then? If the only way to save and elevate humanity is to control it... so be it.

*"Without our freedom we Are nothing."* So it's alright for millions to be slaughtered in droves as long as we have freedom? *"If you think that giving complete control of everything and everyone to a small elite or single person is moral And good then you are completely insane."* *IF*, and only if that single person or that oligarchy is beneficent. This is why I partly take issue with the Templars. I agree with their goal, and I share a bit of their philosophy, but they are under the same capacity for corruption as anyone else. *"You'll never stop murder or any other crime."* It's possible with the artifacts. *"For you to say that dictatorships can be good shows how warped your way of thinking is."* History has shown they can be... Like I said, you need the right individuals in charge. *"All the Templars want is power over people."* A good deal probably do, but there are those who believe in making the world better as well. Like I said, they are corrupted. *"Your way of thinking had lead to only death and oppression."* And here I've been telling you that all along... *"Personal freedom and liberty is the most important thing in the world."* Why? And don't say because freedom. Freedom is only beneficial when it isn't taken to the extreme, and when you have people doing anything they please, all it does is invite problems. And when you look into history, what do you see? Wars, death, famine, rape, theft, etc. The posterity of freedom is suffering. *"Absolutist rule is a crime against humanity."* Absolutist rule in and of itself isn't a crime; it's what you do with that rule that determines whether the outcome is positive or negative, and whether it should be judged or not, if it can be.

Problem is that the game is very glitchy, even for an Assassin Creed game, and the campaign is short. Besides that, the game is actually fairly decent

Marcus Blackburn he did, but he was too stubborn to listen, and they kicked him out of the manor, after he told the brotherhood what happened

i think its both mistakes, achiles was too stubborn and didnt ask what the hell is going on, but shay also too emotional when confronting achiles.

Well, seeing as how Shay single-handedly caused one of the deadliest earthquake in history, a 9.0 earthquake, killing up to 100,000 innocents, and knowing that your superiors already knew about the same thing happening in Haiti, and sent you anyway...yeah, I'd be upset too.

madridista sejati its more of a PTSD or whatsoever. But the point is that we will indeed lose our shits when we caused an earthquake, killing thousands of innocents.

Yep, hence what Achillies said to Connor in AC3 On how he should not destroy the world whilst protecting it.

Booker Dewitt well shay was acting just like anakin in Star Wars, an entitled overly emotional brat that was too cocky for his own good. Neither one were exactly innocent

Dakota M yea, that's why I said neither one is innocent

Booker Dewitt Who told you that the assassin's are the heroes of the franchise?

they aren't in my opinion

He doesn’t really care about Templar beliefs. He only joined them to take care of the brotherhood.

He went rogue lol

@@Nebularban I would agree with you if he stopped at the colonial assassin's but he kept killing members of the other brotherhoods as well. He is a Templar, don't sugar coat it lol

Apom Taylor Well people have to keep doing what they do best,either way the assassins are quite the hypocrites if you think about it

Nebular he literally spends 25 years tracking down the precursor box, located it, kills Charles Dorian because he was in possession of it, states in the epilogue “I follow a new creed now”, considers himself a Templar, and you think he “doesn’t really care about Templar beliefs”?! Dude did you even play rogue??? 16 years, my bad. I had my dates mixed up. He spent 16 years tracking down the box. Still a very long time.

Dooky or he could just be vigilante stopping assassins and templars.

AmazingGaming Yeah

Dooky Yea but the Templars have way more resources than the assassin's and with those and his assassin skills he knew it would be so much easier to stop the idiot assassin's from doing what they were. plus, throughout the first half of the game he was questioning his morals and wondering if maybe the Templars were right

Cryptic Calypso Assassins have way more knowledge. Them specific Assassins broke two rules of the creed. It's not like all Assassin branches broke it.

He was excommunicated in the brotherhood

story was fun shame it was so short

Clearly you haven't played 2 and black flag

@@bitumenroad4648 he said one of the best assassin's creed games he didn't say The best

@@edgyomellete0121 dude, rogue is a poor man's black flag It doesn't stand close to 1,2, black flag and brotherhood

@@bitumenroad4648 that's you're opinion.

Nothing is permitted doesn't really mean you can do whatever nothing is true from what I've learned means to not follow your faith blindly

J.D. Mack no, he does not

Even in the lore it says that he becomes a senior templar

headcanon?

he became a fkin master templar

LOL WHO

@@scottadams5901 Apple bees, can you not read? lol!

a chilly?

Demonwolf570 Neat! My favorite is AC III.

My favorite Assassin's creed is II

I haven't played ac 3 but I want to if they remaster it

You need to experience the real Assassin's Creed games.

@@ecvjtv2778 Everybody has their own choice. respect it.

Nah I think Fizhy just wanted them to give him more respect. it was mainly about how the assassins responded to Shay's complaint about the earthquake.

Roomkeyz007 they also broke the Creed

Well the assassins did destroy a city or 3

The broke the creed and therefore may not even have been assassins in his eyes anymore so one could even say he did what he had to do to cleanse the order if that's how he chose to think of it. We don't know of course but there are so many ways he could have possibly thought but we don't really know.

If I treat you like shit everyday and we become enemies, whose fault is that?

Skyrimadik15 damn,this actually make sense

Skyrimadik15 good theory

A quite good theory but only Ubisoft knows the truth

Unless its the only one they didnt change

sounds legit

Fair enough, but this is the second time an earthquake has occurred at one of the marked sites. I could see one being taken as coincidence, but two in a row? At that point Achilles should probably start thinking "Okay something might be going on here. I don't know what, but clearly more research needs to be done before we meddle with these things any further." Sure Shay was angry and he was too quick to blame Achilles, but given what he saw, his unstable emotional state is completely understandable. It certainly didn't help that everyone was either brushing off Shay's testimony, or passing the blame for the incident on to him. When people feel like they are being ignored, then their tempers naturally flare up. A leader has to be able to calm their underlings down in situations like this and really take the time to listen to the concerns of the people working under them. It isn't always easy to set your own emotions aside and take the highroad, but the ability to do just that is a skill that a leader absolutely MUST possess.
