#He didn't immediately introduce himself as a member of the Templar Order because of Shay's former affilations

Honestly, to take Shay's loyality for granted is the biggest mistake someone could ever make. This man has got his own morals, and he will always follow them; no matter what. You will never find Shay fully devoted on something/someone. If he is; then it means that his goals are aligned with said person/organisation.
#DOWN THE ANCHOR // OOC#once his goals/morals don't align with this person anymore; don't be surprised if he turns his back on you#this is what happened with the assassins / he saw how the assassins preached about protecting the lives of the innocent#but it took him Lisbon to realise that they will literally do anything to reach their ends / even breaking their own creed /#now; about the Templars / Shay found out that his goals align with those of the templars because of Monro / because it wasn't even remotely#in Shay's mind to join the Templars#when he meets Monro he thinks him of nothing more but a landlord who wants to take profit from the colonies and its people#but Monro tells him that his purpose is to keep people safe-thing that Shay will never cease of doing no matter his affilations#now I know there was some corruption / because the Templars aren't saints and we all know that#but Monro showed Shay plenty of times that he fully meant what he said / because words are a thing but actions are what really bring change#and most important of all- he gave Shay the free will to choose#He didn't immediately introduce himself as a member of the Templar Order because of Shay's former affilations#but when he did reveal himself to Shay ( tho I believe Shay realised that already- he's a himbo but not tHAT MUCH hbfr ) that was when Shay#realised that his goals align with the templars#or Monro; in that matter; but Monro is a templar#and this was when he also realised that not all templars are the same.#again I think it's all a matter of idealsand how you decided to preach your 'creed'#because it's always easy to say that ' the assassins are the good guys ' but if you think about it#their methods aren't that much  different from the Templars#there are actually templars that TRULY care about the lives of the people#regardless of their affilations#that's why you might always find Shay in conflict because not all templars are like Monro#so if you want to have Shay's trust you have to make sure that his goals align with yours#just because you're a templar that doesn't automatically mean that Shay trusts you
