YMMV: Assassins Creed The Fall
Crowning Moment of Funny: After touring the very white Assassin compound with Hannah, Daniel meets Paul, the African-American leader of the cell, and quips, "Finally, something that isn't white."
What Could Have Been: The writers initially wanted to have Desmond Miles from the main games as Nikolai's descendant.
The Woobie: Daniel could qualify. First he gets kidnapped as a child from his adoptive family and subjected to all kinds of experiments. Then he gets thrown out into the wild, and even when he makes it back to civilization, his life isn't very pretty with his hallucinations that keep coming and going, not to mention his problem with drugs and alcohol. Then the Assassins take him in, and he makes it his life's mission to meet the Mentor. And when he does? The brainwashing inflicted on him long ago kicks in, forcing him to commit an act that irrevocably alienates him from his new family. He may be Desmond's Evil Counterpart, but not by his own choice, which makes it very hard not to feel sorry for him.
Unwitting Pawn: Russian chapter of Assassins. They are cooperating closely with "Narodnaya Volya" (or form this institution themselves). They were also determined to assassinate Alexander II (five attempts, last of them successful). The problem is that Alexander II was almost a revolutionary himself. He abolished serfdom and allowed peasants to buy property, tried to mitigate the tensions in conquered territories (such as former Poland) and was fascinated by American democracy and Abraham Lincoln in particular. He thought of gradual (to avoid grand upheaval) introduction of democratic government. His assassination ruined this vision. Alexander III returned to absolutism, and his son (lacking the skill of his ancestors) was toppled by communists who quickly introduced one of the most inhumane totalitarian regime in the human history. And that's pretty much Templar agenda.
