gamepur.com:

Assassin’s Creed’s iconic image of a hooded assassin with a hidden blade has become a symbol of intrigue and adventure. Over the years, this franchise has introduced us to several main characters from various periods. Some have left a lasting impact, and others have fallen short of expectations. Let’s step on the Animus to uncover which are the best and worst Assassin’s Creed’s protagonists.

• 11. Eivor (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla)
• 10. Abilene (Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation)
• 9. Connor (Assassin’s Creed III)
• 8. Arno Dorian (Assassin’s Creed Unity)
• 7. Shay Cormack (Assassin’s Creed Rogue)
• 6. Altair Ibn-La’Ahad (Assassin’s Creed 1)
• 5. Jacob and Evie (Assassin’s Creed Syndicate)
• 4. Kassandra (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey)
• 3. Bayek of Siwa (Assassin’s Creed Origins)
• 2. Edward Kenway (Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag)
• 1. Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations)

11. Eivor (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla)

Eivor, one of the reincarnations of an Isu god, had great potential as a character. However, the game doesn’t fully capitalize on their intriguing premise. Their traits, such as survivor’s guilt, poetic nature, and loyalty, are hinted at but not explored in-depth.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Eivor often feels like an empty player avatar, taking up whichever personality the player decides to give them. While it may work for a blank canvas, player-created characters, when you’ve put in the effort to design, write, voice, and craft a fixed backstory, it falls short on character growth and screen presence.

10. Abilene (Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation)

Abilene, the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, faces challenges both as a wealthy mixed-race woman in 1700s Louisiana and as an assassin.
