History Characters / AssassinsCreedSyndicateTheTemplars

* NotSoDifferent: Much like the Assassins, he desires freedom, and is openly disgusted with the Templars who employed him because they want to take that away, which is what motivates him to seek an EnemyMine with Jacob. Also, like Jacob, he causes a great deal of harm and chaos to follow his actions without much care for the consequences. Of course, Jacob and the Assassins want peaceful freedom, while Roth wants the world to burn.

* {{Expy}}:
** 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. He also borrows more than a few cues from ComicBook/TheJoker with his ForTheEvulz personality and theatricality.
** He could also be seen as one for Majd Addin from the ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI''. Like Addin, Roth is a TokenEvilTeammate in a group of [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremists]] whose only reasons of for his actions are ForTheEvulz.

* PsychopathicManchild: He is a mentally unstable gang leader who rebels against Starrick just because he hates taking orders. There is also this bit when [[spoiler: Jacob tries to persuade him into not blowing of the factory full of children]] Roth's response:
--> '''Roth''': I can do whatever I damn well pleased!

* TakeThatKiss: Gives one to Jacob [[spoiler:during the white room conversation]].

* WeCanRuleTogether: He tempts Jacob with this offer, to take London from Starrick's reign and put it under the control of the Blighters and Rooks. Jacob seems to have considered this offer seriously, [[spoiler:but finally backs out of it]].

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:As Jacob finds out rather too late and barely in time]].

* VillainousIncest: He proposed marriage to his cousin, Pearl Attaway, although this was acceptable by the [[ValuesDissonance standards of the Victorian-era]], especially when it came to arranging financially profitable marriages. His database entry also strongly suggests that Pearl was the ''only'' woman Starrick ever fell in love with.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Has a lot of FoeYay with Jacob, repeatedly calling him "darling" and "my dear", [[spoiler:and he kisses him on the lips right before his death]].

* WealthsInAName. Philip ''Twopenny''.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Kris Holden-Ried

* AmbiguouslyJewish: He has a common Ashkenazi Jewish surname and black hair not to mention that London has a substantial Jewish community especially in the East End. However, we never see anything else that could indicate he is a Jew not even a single utterance of Yiddish which makes his ethnic and religious identity rather unclear.

[[folder:Gang Leaders]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kathryn Davis (Bloody Nora)

The various leaders of the Blighters that control the districts of London.

* SmokeOut: Cletus Strain uses smoke bombs to stun you.
* StarterVillain: Rexford Kaylock, who is a mandatory gang leader you have to fight as part of the tutorial on the gang mechanics.

* CorruptPolitician: Extremely corrupt, even Starrick hates dealing with him.

* 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}}''.

* AristocratsAreEvil: The only aristocrat among the London Templars (the others are mostly middle class and NouveauRiche). As Shaun describes in the database:

* AxeCrazy: Loves to boast of all the nasty methods she will implement upon killing the Frye twins. Course' she could just be a found of Dramatics.

-->'"'When the world is full of nasty things, we must tear those things apart."''

* FauxAffablyEvil: He tries to cultivate an AffablyEvil attitude to Jacob and genuinely tries to be nice to him, and is [[spoiler:disappointed when Jacob backs out of the burn-child-workers-to-spite-Starrick plan]].

* 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.

* MilesGloriosus: Paints himself to be a major badass, lamenting how [[spoiler:after surviving the Crimean War and several hunting trips in India, he finally fell to the Assassin's blade, in Parliament no less]]. Of course, Brudenell is an UnreliableNarrator and when Jacob comes for him, he's cowering in a corner behind several guards.

* BossInMookClothing: They all just upgraded Blighters.

[[folder: Brinley Ellsworth]]

'' "You can't just walk this Earth like a free man. You are nothing more than a trophy, a stag's head above the mantelpiece. You have caused enough commotion as it is. It's time to put an end to this." ''

* BullyingADragon: Not Duleep himself, who the failure to kill is remarkable given he had complete access to him, but the Fryes who had already destroyed Crawford Starrick's empire.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: It's quite noticeable given the period appropriate designs of most characters.
