!The Templars
[[folder:Crawford Starrick]]
!!Crawford Starrick
Grand Master of the British Rite of the Templar Order and the owner of the Starrick Telegraph Company.
----
* {{Badass}}: Not as much as some of the pre-Revolutionary Grandmasters, but he's at least decent. Pickpocketing a Master Assassin is no small feat, and [[spoiler: in the final battle]] he's able to at least put up a competent fight against Jacob, Evie, and [[spoiler: Henry]] in hand-to-hand, though he's clearly not in their league and would have been killed in seconds if not for [[spoiler: the Shroud of Turin's regenerative powers]].
* BigBad: Leader of the Templars.
* BlingBlingBang: Has a gold plated and ornately decorated revolver.
* DamageSpongeBoss: [[spoiler: In the final fight, he's unarmed and an entirely mediocre opponent (like Rodrigo Borgia in ''II'' you'll likely spend the entire fight using him as a punching bag), with his only exceptional feature being the fact he can take an absurd amount of damage, thanks to wearing the Shroud of Turin. The ''real'' challenge in the fight is the fact you have to parkour your way through a LaserHallway periodically whenever he knocks you backwards in a scripted scene.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Shoots one of his underlings in the head for interrupting him. [[spoiler: This scene occurs as he's mourning the recent assassination of his cousin Pearl, whom he was close to, which brings more context to his behavior.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: His accent is a little different, but he otherwise sounds a ''lot'' like Alan Rickman.
* FreudianThreat: Gives a gnarly one to James Brudenell [[spoiler:by putting a knife near his balls]].
* HarmfulToMinors: His business empire runs on child labour, poorly regulated child labour at that. Though to be fair, so were most businesses at this point in time.
* LoadBearingBoss: His empire and reach is so intricate that Jacob and Evie can't attack him without causing chaos in the transportion, medical and banking sector. Jacob realizes this too late when he finds out that [[spoiler:crippling Starrick's business permanently would require him to burn down quarters that house his child workers]].
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He's one of the wealthiest men in London, and completely acts the part.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Averted. [[spoiler: After Jacob assassinates his cousin Pearl, Starrick explicitly rejects engaging in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, reasoning that doing so would make him no better than the Assassins themselves. Lucy still convinces him to have her kill the Fryes, as long as it's done discretely.]]
* VillainSong: Does a cover of "Then you'll remember me" from the opera, "The Bohemian Girl".
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He genuinely believes he's doing what is right for the world, and sees himself as a Hero and the defender of London and civilization against the Assassins. When the Assassins gain ground and subvert his organization, he decides [[spoiler:that London would have to be reborn, and for London to be reborn, the old one will have to go (granted, his plan turns out to be to purge the city's royalty and political leaders, rather than literally burning down London again)]].
* WickedCultured: Likes to play the piano. Does not like to be interrupted.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lucy Thorne]]
!!Lucy Thorne
A Templar holed up in the Tower of London who is searching for the Shroud of Eden.
----
* ArcVillain: She's the villain of Evie's quest to find the Piece of Eden. [[spoiler:Though subverted in that she gets killed earlier than the climax]].
* {{Badass}}: She genuinely can throw down against Evie and occassionally gain the upper hand in a fight. She also manages to somehow escape a 100 foot fall without a single haystack in sight.
* BadassBoast: She tells Starrick she will kill the Frye Twins, by hanging Evie from the gallows and then flaying Jacob when he comes to save her.
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In cutscenes she's a skilled fighter and the only London Templar able to hold her own against an Assassin in a straight fight. In gameplay she fights just like a basic mook, only with somewhat more health.
* DefiantToTheEnd: When Evie asks her to tell exactly what the Shroud can do:
-->'''Evie:''' Tell me then.
-->'''Thorne:''' No.
* DesignatedGirlFight: Evie battles Lucy on two separate occasions; Jacob never even meets her despite her leading role in the London Templars.
* TheDragon: Serves as this for Starrick and the only one who actively pursues the Assassins among the Templars.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: She bears a [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/assassinscreed/images/8/84/ACS_Lucy_Thorne_-_Concept_Art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150806075735 greater resemblance]] to a SteamPunk cosplayer than a genuine lady from Victorian times.
* EvilRedhead: She's a red-haired Templar.

[[folder:Rupert Ferris]]
!!Rupert Ferris
!!!"The Exploitative Industrialist"
-->''"Regulates the industry with a steel rod and an iron fist"''

* IndustrializedEvil: The face of it.
* NiceHat: Sports a bowler hat.
* StarterVillain: He's the first target of the game and is assassinated by Jacob in the tutorial section.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:David Brewster]]
!!David Brewster
!!!"The Mad Scientist"
-->''"Push science and medicine to their very limits..."''
----
* AlasPoorVillain: He's the only assassination target that gets treated with any kind of respect by the protagonists during their CradlingYourKill scene. Although this may partially be due to the fact it's Evie that assassinates him rather than Jacob.
* ForegoneConclusion: He died in February 1868.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: He was an actual physicist, a pioneer in the development of optics, and the inventor of the kaleidoscope. He was also a Christian who strongly opposed Darwin's theory of evolution.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: His opposition to Darwin aside, nothing in his career as a pioneer physicist supports that he was ever a "mad scientist".
* MadScientist: His job profile.
* StarterVillain: Alongside Rupert Ferris, he serves as this, being assassinated by Evie Frye as part of her tutorial.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Dr. John Elliotson]]
!!Doctor John Elliotson
!!!"The Negligent Doctor"
-->''"...with terrifying results"''
----
* DeadlyDoctor: The story trailer has him performing some sort of surgical procedure on a patient.
** He gets targeted by Jacob for his leading role in Starrick's drug dealing business.
* ForegoneConclusion: He died in July 1868.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Elliotson was a publisher of medical journals where he advocated the now-discredited practises of phrenology and mesmerism as legitimate sciences and was a friend of Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. He was also one of the first to promote the use of the stethoscope.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Killing him results in mass disorder in the London medical community, resulting in a proliferation of counterfeit medicine and a resulting health crisis.]]
* {{Understatement}}: Following killing a patient during a surgical procedure:
--> ''"Unfortunately, it appears I have ruined the organ."''
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Pearl Attaway]]

* SmugSnake: Has the smirk to go with it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Philip Twopenny]]
!!Philip Twopenny
!!!"The Bankroller"
----
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Representative of high-level corruption.
* TheFerryman: [[spoiler:Jacob hands him a coin for passage to the next life]].
* MorallyBankruptBanker: He uses "investment" to steal money from the savings of poor account holders.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:James Brudenell]]
!!James Brudenell
!!!"The Corrupt Politician"
-->''"Crippled the masses to grow their fortunes"''
A veteran of the Crimean War turned Templar politician.
----
* ForegoneConclusion: Brudenell died in March 1868, so he won't be surviving this game.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, was the commander of the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War and a conservative Member of Parliament. He was a recurring character in Creator/GeorgeMacDonaldFraser's ''Literature/{{Flashman}}''.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: He's generally not regarded with much admiration as per his negative depiction and was disliked for being a military incompetent and anti-reform MP. However, towards the end of his life he did support the passage of the 1867 Reform Bill.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Maxwell Roth]]
!!Maxwell Roth
!!!"The Treacherous Gangster"
-->''"London's Criminal Mastermind"''
----
* {{Expy}}: Like Slackjaw in ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'', he's one for William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting, as played by Creator/DanielDayLewis in ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'', especially apparent in the Alhambra sequence, which borrows from Satan's Circus.
* ForTheEvulz: Unlike the other Templar leaders, who are motivated by a mix of Well Intentioned Extremism and desire for money and power, Roth just wants to watch the world burn.
* GoodScarsEvilScars; Sports a nasty one across his cheek.
* LargeHam: Goes in hand with his motives and general world view.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: Sports an opera mask in a cutscene.
* LondonGangster: He's the Boss of all Bosses.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Helps Frye take down Starrick's empire, solely because it amuses him to do so.]]
* WickedCultured: Owns a low-down music hall called The Alhambra and puts cheap tawdry shows, so some of that theatre atmosphere seeped into him.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:As Jacob finds out rather too late and barely in time]].
