* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: And we finally have contenders for the knee-stomp, such as damn near every hookblade kill, and one sword kill that involves stabbing them in the throat and then ''snapping their neck 180 degrees with it.'' Ezio may well be the most lethal example of a grumpy old man, and Altiar isn't far behind.

Revelations will place you in control of the three primary characters in the Assassin's Creed story: Ezio Auditore from ''[=~Assassin's Creed II~=]'' and ''[=~Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood~=]'', Altaïr ibn La-Ahad from the [[AssassinsCreed first game]], and Desmond Miles - the descendant that links all the Assassins together. Ezio and Altaïr will have their stories completed in this game.
