!! 13th Century Song China

[[folder:Zhang Zhi]]
!!Zhang Zhi

An Assassin apprentice who seeks revenge on the Mongols for the death of her father, and an ancestor of Owen Myers.
----

* AllForNothing: Zigzagged. While she successfully assassinates Mongke Khan, the injury she receives from Bayan and her Mentor's beliefs that an Assassin killing for revenge is unethical prevents her from becoming a proper Assassin, and we're left with her grieving once Kang leaves.
* AlliterativeName: '''Zh'''ang '''Zh'''i.
* AuraVision: Can use Eagle Vision, which her father taught her how to use.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Wields a Hidden Blade [[AncestralWeapon that was once her father's]], but after her Mentor Kang tells her she will never be able to be an Assassin due to her injuries, he takes the Blade away from her.
* GameBreakingInjury: After successfully assassinating Mongke Khan, in the resulting scuffle with his guard Bayan she gets shot in the knee with an arrow, which he drives in deeper during the fight proper. The injury ends up preventing her from becoming an Assassin due to the bone being unable to heal properly.
* LeParkour: Is capable of free-running for miles to escape Mongol soldiers.
* TheKingslayer: Assassinates Mongke Khan, the fourth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.
* {{Kneecapping}}: Gets shot in the knee by Bayan, who drives the arrow even further into her knee during their fight, ruining it and her ability to be an Assassin.
* PoisonedWeapons: Apart from her Hidden Blade, she has a Hidden Crossbow with poisoned darts.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Ignores her Mentor Kang's warnings that revenge can't come before her duty as an Assassin, and decides to assassinate Mongke Khan herself against his orders. While she succeeds in doing so, it puts the base on high alert, she's forced to run while being chased by soldiers, and her knee ends up getting ruined by Bayan. While Kang says that her injury makes her unable to be an Assassin, it's merely a pretext for the real reason, which is that he feels that killing for revenge is unbecoming of an Assassin, and her doing so showed she was unworthy of ever becoming one.
* ShadowArchetype: Of revenge-seeking ''Assassin's Creed'' protagonists such as Ezio Auditore, had they learned their lessons about revenge too late. She tries joining the Order for the sake of getting revenge on those who've killed her family members, but unlike them, it ends much more poorly for her. While she succeeds in her quest, it comes at the cost of being drummed out of the Order, and a permanent physical injury at the hands of the very man who killed her father.
* YouKilledMyFather: Seeks revenge on the Mongols for her father's death.

[[folder:Kang]]
!!Kang

The Mentor of the Chinese Assassins during the waning years of the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Zhi's personal mentor.
----
* CynicalMentor: Despite being willing to train Zhang Zhi, he's leery of her from the start since he feels she's only doing training so she can get revenge on the Mongols. Unfortunately, his initial view of Zhang Zhi turns out to be correct.
* TheMentor: Apart from being the Mentor of the Chinese Assassins, he personally mentors Zhang Zhi, and before her, her father.
* PetTheDog: Despite denying Zhang Zhi the chance to join the Assassins, he does say the Brotherhood will take care of her and honor her for her actions in killing a feared enemy.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: A firm believer that killing for revenge is wrong, and is unethical of an Assassin. It's why he chooses not to induct Zhang Zhi into the Brotherhood despite her successful assassination of Mongke Khan, using her crippling injury as a pretext.

* HistoricalVillainDowngrade: In ''Last Descendants'', he opposes any distinctions between races and only allows the rioters to attack black civilians out of necessity instead of outright prejudice. However, Tweed was a 19th century Democrat and it's unlikely that he would have regarded blacks as equals to whites.
