top five ac characters who aren't (and here's the catch) eivor, vili, or hemming >:)

oh ky that is CRUEL but okay steamroll my recency bias why don't you

Kassandra - kass is flat out one of the best characters ac has ever made. she's compelling, believable, witty, has actual character progression, and i want her to step on me. there's something about a character that's so bitterly tragic but makes good choices regardless that just GETS me. AND THE IMMORTALITY? WALKING THE EARTH ALONE? SEEING ECHOES OF PEOPLE YOU LOVED THROUGH HISTORY AND ALSO OTHERS BE FORGOTTEN TO THE ANNALS OF TIME? i need to lie down if i think about her too long honestly.

Jacob Frye - yeah yeah still on my 'ac syndicate is the most underrated game in the franchise' bullshit. meathead man who doesn't think things through, got some daddy issues, likes to make jokes, chaotic bisexual. tick tick tick tick you've made a character i will adore A+ ubisoft.

Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor Kenway - ac3 was the the first assassin's creed game i ever played so i have a very special place in my heart for this boy. from a gameplay perspective, his moveset and animations are EASY my favourite of the whole series - man is brutal af. story-wise, i love his relationship with achilles and how he literally builds a home/community around himself. you can very much read connor's arc as a simple revenge quest but i go feral over how that evolves into a need for a sense of place/identity/home and trying to map the shift across his story. he is also very deadpan which is my sense of humour.

Shaun Hastings - i'm one of those nerds who reads literally every entry and scrap of information in the databases so i have a special affinity for shaun and his lil snidey comments. i really miss his snark in the later entries.

Yusuf Tazim - i haven't played revelations in forever but yusuf has my heart always and forever for constantly making jokes with ezio in his slightly grumpy old man era. it's been 12 years and i'm still wilfully ignoring what happened to him <3
