The Greatest Assassin’s Creed Assassin of All Time
It’s true. Ubisoft’s Assassin Creed series celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2022. We have done some serious murder during that time. It’s not only the series’ hidden knives that are the ultimate weapon against the Templars but also the avatar who wields these blades – that is, the character we control as a player of these games. There have been a few, starting with the 2007 game Altair Ibn–La’Ahad, which stabbed people in the late 12th Century, and ending with Valhalla 2020, which features the Viking protagonist Eivor.
Which Assassin’s creed assassin is the best? We are blessed to have an expert in all things Assassin’s Creed on the GAMINGbible group who has played these games extensively and is familiar with the history of the lesser-known Animus-powered historical hit persons. So we asked them: “Hello, who’s the best?” This is what we were told… but in reverse order.
4: Evie Frye
Evie, one of a group of twins, was seen and played in 22015’sAAssassin’sCreed Syndicate. She is part of a pair thrown into a Victorian underground of organized crime, controlled, predictably, by the rotten Templars. Evie is a fierce fighter for her cause. She is extremely skilled, and the teachings from the Assassin brotherhood run through her veins just like the claret stuff she drinks. Did we mention her cane blade? EEvie’scane sword is simply one of the coolest weapons-slash-fashion accessories of the entire AC series. EEvie’sSyndicate DLC, Jack the Ripper, is another reason for her placement. She is in her 40s, but that has not made her any less dangerous or slowed down the punishment she delivers.
3: Edward Kenway
Star of 22013’sAssassin Creed IV Black Flag, the Welsh pirate Edward was a hit with series viewers for his dubious morals and lack of sarcasm. We met many famous faces from the real history and piracy as we cruised him through the Caribbean in the early 18th century, including Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Blackbeard. Yet, Black FFlag’sEdward leaves the most lasting impression. He is a skilled swordsman and an assured captain of Jackdaw. It’s that locates the Templars observatory – a crucial moment in Creed series lore – and gradually cooling his roguish recklessness into a considerate friend.
2. Bayek of Siwa
Bayek, the main protagonist in 22017’sAssassin Creed Origins, is possibly the most dangerous and terrifying Assassin Bayek ddoesn’thesitate to kill anyone who crosses his path. This path has been littered with bodies since the death of his son Khemu. He is also vulnerable in certain circumstances. For example, when he regrets not completing a mission, he sees a son without a father. Bayek was the first assassin who had a finger taken by the series of hidden blades. This act would be essential to pledge loyalty to the Assassin Order, which is a huge deal. Bayek may argue that he ddidn’tmean to lop off his ring finger the way he did. Also: Pyramids. These can be climbed up like a cat on a tree. This TBF alone makes him one of the most playable characters in the series.
1. Ezio Auditore da Firenze
It was inevitable. There is no other AAssassin’sCreed assassin with so many stories, character development, and, perhaps, so much style. Eizo was a constant thorn in the TTemplars’side. A terror capable of striking anywhere, Eizo is a master at his craft – namely, the stabby-stabby killing of many a baddie. Eizo freed Renaissance-era Rome and Florence from the TTemplars’grasp; he always had time for his family (after all other outlets), and he had the most memorable theme music in AC history. Eizo was a star in the AAssassin’sCreed II games, Brotherhood, and Revelations – these are long-standing fan favorites, and this man, this icon, is still the face of AC to many players. Is this the greatest game of all time? There is no doubt.
AAssassin’sCreed, eh? This series has sold millions of copies. This means that some of you may disagree with what I have written. IIt’sokay, you can let us know how wrong we are via Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
