21	A talented young Assassin from China, Shao Jun seeks guidance from Ezio in order to learn how best to lead and rebuild her Brotherhood.
22	----
23	* ActionGirl: Excels in both Wushu martial arts and swordplay.
24	* TheApprentice: She was this to her Assassin mentor [[spoiler:before he was killed]] and looked to Ezio's guidance to help aid her people.
25	* ArmedLegs: Rather than a [[BladeBelowTheShoulder traditional Hidden Blade]], hers comes out from the front of her boot.
26	* AuraVision: Is capable of using Eagle Vision.
27	* BestServedCold: Has her old enemy the Jiajing Emperor killed via mercury poisoning in 1567.
28	* BlackCloak: Even during the day, she wears a black set of Assassin robes with a red inner layer. [[DarkIsNotEvil Despite this, she is a nice person]]; the black robes may be her[[note]]and possibly other Chinese Assassins[[/note]] eschewing white Assassin robes since [[FridgeBrilliance in Chinese culture white was a mourning color]].
29	* BornIntoSlavery: She was born into being one of the Emperor's concubines. Her Mentor saved her from [[SexSlave her]] [[ColdBloodedTorture fate]].
30	* CoolSword: Her jian.
31	* DarkIsNotEvil: Wears a black set of Assassin robes, but she's a very nice person, and as mentioned above it's probably because white was a mourning color in her culture and time.
32	* DodgeTheBullet: In ''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China'', she is capable of dodging incoming projectiles, including hand cannon bullets and crossbow arrows.
33	* FlechetteStorm: Keeps six throwing needles under bracers on her arms [[NothingUpMySleeve concealed under her sleeves]]. Keeping with the pointy-things theme, she also apparently designed the rope dart that Connor uses in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'' and Edward uses in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'', and even uses one as a secondary weapon for hanging kills and a GrapplingHookPistol in ''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China''.
34	* FragileSpeedster: In ''Chronicles: China'', she has very limited health (about two hits worth, or one gunshot), but is capable of dodging bullets.
35	* HeroOfAnotherStory: She is presented as this in ''Embers'' and gets references in ''III'' as a LongDeadBadass until finally becoming the star of ''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China''.
36	* HeroesPreferSwords: Wields a jian.
37	* InTheHood: Like most Assassins, she wears a hood to blend in.
38	* LadyOfWar: She was taught to be a lady in the Chinese imperial court, and uses an agile, graceful, and deadly style of fighting that's even referred to as a "dance of death".
39	* LastOfHerKind: She's the last of the original Chinese Assassins.
40	* MeaningfulName: Depending on the Hanzi used, "Jun" can mean, amongst other things, "pure" (fitting Shao's heroic qualities), "obey" (fitting her loyalty to the Order), "truth" (her honesty) or "[[AnimalMotifs falcon]]" (fitting the Order's bird motif).
41	* TheMentor: Eventually becomes the new Mentor of the Chinese Assassins by recruiting and training new members.
42	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: When she realizes she's (indirectly) responsible for her master's death with her blind thirst for vengeance.]]
43	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Her motivation in ''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China'' is avenging her fallen Assassin Order, leaving a sizeable track of corpses in her wake. In that regard she's quite similar to her mentor Ezio himself during his younger days.
44	* TheStoic: Shao's very cold-blooded in ''Chronicles'', coldly assassinating her targets without showing emotion. The only time she does show emotion is when the MentorOccupationalHazard comes into play.
45	* TrickedOutShoes: She has a Hidden Blade in her boots.
46	* TrojanPrisoner: Upon returning to China she makes a point of simply getting caught, so she can escape and subsequently assassinate [[WardensAreEvil Gao Feng]].
47	* YoungAndInCharge: At the age of only nineteen, she wants to rebuild the Chinese Assassin sect. [[spoiler:In TheStinger after the game, she has become TheMentor of the Assassins, apparently older but still looking fairly young]].

53	Shao's old mentor, who rescued her from [[SexSlave a life as a concubine]] and taught her the ways of the Assassins. Now, he and Shao are the last remnants of the Chinese Assassins, and must work their way to rebuild them.
54	----
55	* BadassBookworm: Wang's a philosopher, a thinker, and an educator, and also a Master Assassin capable of slaughtering men with his bare hands.
56	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Yangming Historically he's a famous Neo-Confucian thinker]].
57	* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler: Ends up dying by Zhang's hands.]]

70	[[folder:The Eight Tigers]]
71	!!The Eight Tigers as a whole
72
73	A powerful cabal of Eunuchs allied with the Templar Order who secretly manipulate the Ming Imperial Court to further their own corrupt agenda. They were the ones behind the downfall and subsequent annihilation of the Chinese Assassins.
74	----
75	* AnimalMotifs: Tigers, as the name says.
76	* BigBad: Their head, Zhang Yong.
77	* EunuchsAreEvil: Corrupt eunuchs with machiavellian methods.
78	* EvilOldFolks: They're for the most part rather cold.

80	* TheManBehindTheMan: They're the ones actually running the Dynasty, not the Emperor.
81	* ThePurge: The ones responsible for the destruction of the Chinese Assassins.
82	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: There are eight of them. Over the game we only meet five, while another is assassinated offscreen. The death of the seventh happened in Shao Jun's youth, according to the database, leaving one unaccounted for.]]
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Gao Feng]]
86	!!Gao Feng
87
88	The very first of the Tigers Jun encounters in her path. Gao Feng runs a [[HellholePrison prison]] deployed against the enemies of the Tigers that was built on the grounds of a former Assassin hideout.
89	----
90	* BeardOfEvil: A long, scraggly white one.
91	* FaceDeathWithDignity: In death he mocks Jun for her foolishness,
92	* InTheBack: Feng has his back turned to you, so you have to shank his back by definition.
93	* SmugSnake: He is very belligerent and very confident he captured Shao Jun and has her in his grasp. [[TrojanPrisoner Little does he know...]]
94	* StarterVillain: Feng doesn't last long, and his death is basically a warning to the remaining seven of the Tigers.
95	* WardensAreEvil: As the chief of the HellholePrison the game starts in.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Ma Yongcheng]]
99	!!Ma Yongcheng
100
101	Another of the Eight, renowed for his utter brutality.
102	----
103	* TheButcher: His nickname, acquired for his violent tendencies.
104	* TheGhost: We never actually see him in the main game.
105	* KilledOffscreen: Youngcheng is killed while Jun is making her way through the prison by Shao's new mentor, Wang Yangming.
106	* TortureTechnician: His job seems to be to brutalize the prisoners of Feng's prison, for information or otherwise.
107	[[/folder]]
108
109	[[folder:Yu Dayong]]
110	!!Yu Dayong
111
112	The third member of the Eight, a rich merchant who specializes in the slave market, giving him the epiteph "the Slaver".
113	----
114	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''The Slaver'' does not exactly inspire kindness.
115	* RedBaron: Again, the Slaver.
116	* SlaveGalley: Has several, and part of the levels are in them.
117	* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Jun seems to take an ''interest'' in him when she learns he is a slaver (particularly since she was set to be [[SexSlave a concubine]] before being rescued).
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Qiu Ju]]
121	!!Master Qiu Ju
122
123	The fourth of the Eight, a ruthless and cunning man who provides security for the Eight, known as "The Demon".
124	----
125	* TheBrute: He's the violent, unstable member of the Tigers.
126	* KickTheDog: The literal first thing he does is to order his men to burn down and annihilate an entire port just to spite Jun, and maybe find her in the process.
127	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: '''The Demon''' is perhaps the most ominous thing a man can be called.
128	* NoNonsenseNemesis: Qiu Ju does not take half-measures regarding Assassins. Knowing Assassins are nearly unkillable otherwise, Qiu Ju is practical: He blows up ''the entire port'' because Jun is located in it. While it doesn't work, he gets very close to.
129	* RedBaron: He is called "The Demon".
130	* RevengeByProxy: His reasoning is that Assassins claim to protect the innocents, so since he can't get a hold of Jun, he'll harm ''the innocents'', and so he burns down an entire port of innocents as punishment for her actions.
131	* WakeUpCallBoss: He is the first of the Tigers to react to Jun and very nearly kills her. This makes her realize things won't be as easy as it looks.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Wei Bin]]
135	!!Wei Bin
136
137	The fifth of the Tigers and their second-in-command, known as "The Snake".
138	----
139	* AnimalMotifs: The snake, as says his nickname.
140	* TheBait: As it turns out [[spoiler: Zhang used him as bait to lure Wang Yangming so he could kill him.]]
141	* TheDragon: Described as Zhang Yong's right-hand-man.
142	* FaceDeathWithDignity: He's positively mocking in his tone as he dies.
143	* ItsPersonal: Wei Bin's the one who personally led the slaughter of Juns's order, so ItsPersonal for her.
144	* ManipulativeBastard: What with the whole [[spoiler: playing Shao's vengeance against her and all]].
145	* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Wei Bin cackles as he tells Shao [[spoiler: his death was only a trap for Jun so Zhang Yong could enact his stratagem.]]
146	* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: The reason for his nickname, the Snake.
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:Zhang Yong]]
150	!!Zhang Yong
151
152	The master of the Tigers, and the man behind the throne.
153	----
154	* BigBad: The chief of the Tigers, the man behind the Order's purge, and the man manipulating the throne.
155	* TheBadGuyWins: In a manner of speaking, [[spoiler: Zhang partially won as he got the box out of China and into Templar hands, even though his organization dies.]]
156	* TheChessmaster: A machiavellian politician who's been ruling the DecadentCourt of China for decades, as well as [[spoiler: The strategem in which he tricked Shao into getting busy with Wei Bin while he executed her master ''and'' took the Box]]. Later, he also [[spoiler: successfully lures Shao into a trap by using one of her old friends]].
157	* FaceDeathWithDignity: Maintains a very cool head, conducting a normal conversation as he bleeds to death.
158	* TheManBehindTheMan: The Emperor is just Zhang Yong's puppet.
159	* RankScalesWithAsskicking: The leader of the Tigers and the best warrior of them all.
160	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Zhang tells Shao just how pathetic and weak Shao (and her Order) is for her trust in others, and saying that's what makes them fail.
161	* TheSocialDarwinist: Zhang has a strong hatred for the weak, as evidenced by his speech to Shao about how her friendship makes her weak.
162	* SoftSpokenSadist: For all his cruelty, he has a very cordial way of speaking to people.
163	* VisionaryVillain: As most Templars, he has grand plans for the world.
164	* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He uses the same justification as all Templars, that his actions will bring a day of peace. But it kind of rings hollow when (as Shao points out) he's ''engineering a war'' just so he won't lose.

182	* CultureClash: A bit with Hamid, who beats Raza for any mistake he makes and thinks it is fine due to being in a higher caste. After witnessing this, Arbaaz buys Raza from him, promising to free Raza after the mission to retrieve the Koh-i-Noor is successful.
183	* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly towards Raza since he can't talk back, and at one point Arbaaz snarks how much he enjoys his little talks with him.
184	* HeroesPreferSwords: Wields what appears to be a talwar.
185	* InTheHood: Wears a hood like most Assassins.
186	* LovableRogue: Projects this image to Pyara Kaur.
187	* MeaningfulName: "Arbaaz" means [[AnimalMotifs eagle]] in Urdu.
188	* TheOathbreaker: Hamid forces him to swear that he will do everything he can to ensure Ranjit Singh is kept alive, even though Arbaaz hates him for his conquest of Kashmir, which killed several members of Arbaaz's family. However, when Abraaz meets Francis Cotton, he cheerfully tells the Templar to proceed with his plans to murder Singh. [[spoiler:He is later forced into protecting Singh when Raza gives Pyara the Koh-I-Noor and she makes him protect her grandfather in exchange for it]].

227	* FieryRedhead: He's redheaded and explosive in temperament.

270	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''ComicBook/AssassinsCreedSubjectFour'' \| ''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy''
271
272	A Russian Assassin born into the Brotherhood at [[UsefulNotes/TsaristRussia the end of the 19th century]], he does not feel he can live up to the legacy of his father and is unsure he wishes to continue to be an Assassin. He is tasked with assassinating the Tsar of Russia but fails, whilst succeeding in arranging the destruction of the Staff of Eden. He later moves to America with his family, abandoning the Assassins. He is an ancestor of Daniel Cross.
273	----
274	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Sort of. Orelov is a Czech name but there is a Russian equivalent.
275	* AnimalThemeNaming: Orelov is Czech for "Eagle's son," which goes nicely with the series knack for giving eagle-related names to their historical Assassins.
276	** DubNameChange: In the Russian version of both the game and the comics his name is rendered as "Orlov" (Орлов), which means the same thing in Russian.
277	* BadassInDistress: In Mission 6 of ''Russia'' after getting betrayed by Leon Trotsky. Anastasia is forced to rescue him.
278	* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Wields a Hidden Blade.
279	* ColdSniper: ''Chronicles: Russia'' shows he's an excellent marksman.
280	* CynicismCatalyst: Nikolai lost a child at some point prior to the comic. He was apparently less violent before then.
281	* DeadPartner: Nikolai used to work with Aleksandr Ulyanov ([[UsefulNotes/VladimirLenin Lenin's brother]]) before Alek was captured and executed.
282	* {{Foil}}: To fellow Assassin turncoat [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue Shay Patrick Cormac]]. Like Shay, one of the reasons Nikolai leaves the Assassins was because of them being no different than the Templars in their methods, especially during the Russian Revolution. However, Nikolai does not become a Templar, but instead wants to be left alone with his family, while Shay does become a Templar to his dying day.
283	* FollowInMyFootsteps: His father trained him to be an Assassin from the day he was born, and Nikolai reluctantly went along with his fathers wishes despite his desire for a normal life.
284	* GrapplingGun: In ''Chronicles: Russia'' Nikolai gets a wrist-mounted Winch that appears to be a more advanced version of the Assassin Gauntlet seen in ''Syndicate'', which can also be used to short out electrical generators.
285	* InTheHood: Wears a hood in his Assassin outfit.
286	* ItsAllMyFault: Nikolai still has nightmares of Aleksander blaming him for [[MyGreatestFailure not saving him in time]].
287	* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: He beats captured Templars until they have given him all the information he desires. His fellow Assassins are actually disturbed by this at one point:
288	-->'''First Assassin''': "Are Brother Orelov's methods always so... savage?"
289	-->'''Second Assassin''': "He was a gentler man when I met him, years ago. Before they lost the child."
290	* LanternJawOfJustice: Has a prominent chin.
291	* LeParkour: Is an expert freerunner.
292	* MadeOfIron: Nikolai lived through the Tunguska explosion at point blank. No one else around survived.
293	* TheMusketeer: Is armed with a sabre, dagger, and Berdan rifle, and is very skilled with each.
294	* NotWhatISignedOnFor: Nikolai says this at the end of Memory Sequence 8 after finding out what his brothers in arms are planning to do to Anastasia.
295	* OldMaster: In the latter portions of the comic.
296	* OlderAndWiser: He calms down after the Tunguska event.
297	* PapaWolf:
298	** He kills Sergei, a fellow Assassin, who threatened his son if Nikolai did not come back to the Assassins to answer some questions.
299	** In ''Chronicles: Russia'' the only reason he doesn't kill the soldiers who murdered the Romanov children minus Anastasia is that doing so would take too much time from the mission.
300	* ProfessionalKiller: Like most Assassins.
301	* PromotedToPlayable: He is the star of the third part of the ''Assassins Creed Chronicles'' series, ''Russia.''
302	* ResignationsNotAccepted: The Russian Assassins were not pleased when he left them, and eventually sent several Assassins to hunt him down and bring him back to answer some questions. Though since he witnessed a message from the First Civilization and does not tell this to anyone, and steals a Piece of Eden for personal use, he's not entirely blameless for stroking the paranoia of his brothers. ''Chronicles: Russia'' also shows that he helped Anastasia escape from the Kremlin.
303	* RetiredBadass: He leaves the Assassins to settle in America after recovering the last remaining splinter of the Russian Imperial Sceptre, which was a Staff of Eden. He is not pleased when the Assassins try to bring him back in to answer some questions.
304	** For those familiar with the history of the RedScare, a bit of extra context: The [[UsefulNotes/WoodrowWilson Palmer Raids]] were in full swing in the United States, deporting immigrants with suspected communist ties. Simultaneously, Felix Dzerzhinsky, [[UsefulNotes/MoscowCentre leader of the Cheka]], had begun Operation Trust, designed to lure [[HeroicRussianEmigre White emigres]] back to Russia, [[ThePurge where they would be executed for treason]]. ([[TruthInTelevision Boris Savinkov, Yakov Blumkin, and Sydney Reilly were infamous victims of this]]). Nikolai's wife and daughter were deported in the Palmer Raids, and Nikolai is led to believe they were shot while attempting to cross the Russian-Finnish border. And he is ProperlyParanoid of Sergei because it was a [[TruthInTelevision common tactic of the Cheka to use a trusted contact to lure you into a trap]]. However, [[PoorCommunicationKills if Nikolai had listened to the Assassins sent after him]], he would have learned that his wife and daughter were still alive.
305	* TookALevelInKindness: Orelov in the comics was cold, abrasive and brutal. In ''Russia'', he's far nicer.

313	A Russian Assassin sent to track down Nikolai in America in order to bring him to the Mentor for questioning. He also appears in ComicBook/AssassinsCreedSubjectFour and ''Chronicles: Russia''.
314	----
315	* BadassLongcoat: Wears what appears to be a duster.
316	* CharacterDeath: Nikolai strangles him to death for threatening Innokenti.
317	* ProfessionalKiller: As a trained Assassin.
318	* UnscrupulousHero: Out of all the Assassins seen in the series, Sergei is by far the most anti-heroic and brutal in trying to achieve his mission. He is even technically breaking the Creed by threatening Innokenti, who is an innocent.
319	* WouldHurtAChild: He threatens to harm Nikolai's son Innokenti if he refuses to return with him, which causes Nikolai to kill Sergei. [[spoiler:He also intends to kill Anastasia so as to extract Shao Jun's memories]].

333
334	A Templar who has been inserted into the Bolsheviks to subvert the Revolution from within. Under orders to retrieve the Precursor Box, Yurovsky is sent to Yekaterinburg, where the deposed Tsar and his family are being held. He is eventually ordered to execute them.
335	----
336	* AlliterativeName: '''Y'''akov '''Y'''urovsky.
337	* AlmightyJanitor: Although ''Chronicles: Russia'' doesn't really touch upon this, he would technically be one given the time period: the Red Army during the Russian Civil War had a "No officers, only commanders" mission statement in an attempt to appeal to grunts who were disillusioned with the elitism of Royalist officers. He's also not the leader of his Templar Rite.
338	* BadassLongcoat: He is a Red Army officer, after all.
339	* BigBadWannabe: He's the most prominent Templar seen, and gives Nikolai plenty of reason to hate him, but his relevance to the plot fades when the Assassins betray Nikolai.
340	* CommissarCap: Wears one, befitting his rank.
341	* DirtyCommies: A middle management Old Bolshevik who is active in the Red Terror.
342	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: In the Anglosphere, he's mainly known as the Romanovs' executioner and little else. Soviet historians are a little bit more familiar with his later life.
343	* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While he did oversee one of the 20th Century's worst regicides, Yurovsky's RealLife counterpart did NOT torture the Romanovs prior to their execution, and actually went to great lengths to ensure that the women in particular did not receive any ill treatment from his troops. He later went on to have a relatively heroic post Red Terror career as a treasury agent battling corruption and theft.
344	* KarmaHoudini: Manages to escape the Assassins and get a comfortable position in Stalin's regime until dying of natural causes in 1938.
345	* PermaStubble: Depicted with this.
346	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The real reason why Nikolai doesn't get the opportunity to kill him.
347	* StateSec: An agent of the Cheka, an early prototype for KGB.
348	* WouldHurtAChild: Kills the Tsar's 12-year-old son, Alexei, along with the rest of the royal family.

368
369	The leader and founder of the Red Army, Trotsky is the father of the Communist theory of Trotskyism, and a friend of Nikolai Orelov.
370	----
371	* TheDragon: Is Vladimir Lenin's NumberTwo here, as he was in RealLife.
372	* DirtyCommies: ''Chronicles: Russia'' does not paint a flattering portrait of the man.
373	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Is most well known for being the father of Trotskyist Communism, and his extremely odd death at the hands of one of Stalin's assassins in Mexico in 1940.
374	* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: [[spoiler:Trotsky gets this via directly justifying Anastasia's death. In truth, Trotsky was far away when the incident happened and was known to have been surprised and dismayed when he found out about it. Trotsky actually wanted to put the Tsar on trial, with himself as prosecutor, to help legitimize the Revolution and give it more global attention. [[GeneralRipper Phillip Goloshchyokin]], the commander of the Red Army garrison at Ekaterinburg, wrote Lenin numerous times, warning that his troops were on the verge of mutiny and that killing the Tsar might appease them. Lenin suspected he was lying, but with the Czech Legion (allied to the White Army) approaching Ekaterinburg, he decided not to take any chances. Trotsky would justify the execution later, but in his 1935 autobiography, he made it clear that while Lenin ordered it, Goloshchyokin was the one that really '''''wanted''''' it]].
375	* MouthOfSauron: The highest ranking Old Bolshevik to appear onscreen (despite Nikolai's friendship and history with Lenin).
376	* ScaryShinyGlasses: [[spoiler:Has these when he betrays Nikolai to the Templars after he refuses to give up Anastasia.]]
377	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Wants to help workers the world over, but is willing to murder an innocent based on who her family is to do so.
378	* WouldHurtAChild: To him the worker's revolution is paramount, and Anastasia is too important as a tsarist symbol to be left alive.
