| 23 | ->''"Let me tell you something, Connor: Life is not a fairy tale and there are no happy endings."'' |
| 24 | |
| 25 | A Master Assassin of British and Caribbean descent and a student of Ah Tabai, he is the mentor of Connor and formerly Shay, residing at his homestead. By the time Connor finds him, he has become a broken shell of a man who oversaw the utter destruction of his Order at the hands of the Templars and has lost the will to fight. |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | * AchillesInHisTent: {{Pun}} notwithstanding, [[JustifiedTrope justified]], as he is old and not in the physical condition he used to be so he's stuck in his homestead. Until Connor came along, he had no organization left to support him either, and there was little he could do alone anymore. ''Rogue'' clarifies this, showing that his confinement was more or less an act of CruelMercy by Shay and Haytham for his actions, and his prominent limp is a result of being [[{{Kneecapping}} kneecapped]]. |
| 28 | * AndYourRewardIsClothes: Towards Connor. Finishing Achilles' quest line gifts Connor with the robes he personally wore during his prime years as an Assassin, compared to Connor's own robes his were more clean cut and simple, almost regal in appearance. Notably, they somehow slim down Connor's tank-like physique. |
| 29 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Has the 18th Century equivalent of one. |
| 30 | * BadassTeacher: To Connor. |
| 31 | * BigBad: In ''Rogue''. Unusually, he's only an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom, since his obsession with finding the ancient artifacts provokes massive disasters. |
| 32 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: Dual wielded Hidden Blades back when he was an active Assassin. |
| 33 | * CoolOldGuy: Is considered as such by Connor. |
| 34 | * CruelMercy: In ''III'', his confinement to Davenport Homestead is treated as such. In fact, [[spoiler:Shay wanted Achilles spared because he's harmless with his Assassin network finished, the other reason was that he wanted a chastened Achilles to warn the other Assassins about the danger of the First Civilization Roots and not go on the hunt for more artifacts]]. |
| 35 | * TheCynic: Appears to have this view in comparison to the idealistic Connor. His experiences in ''Rogue'' show why. |
| 36 | * CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: The deaths of his wife and child by disease]] in addition to the destruction of the Colonial Assassins Brotherhood in ''Rogue'' appears to have done this to him. The final nail though is [[spoiler:realizing that his blind pursuit of the First Civilization Roots was harmful and that Shay was right in CallingTheOldManOut and that he had led his fellow Assassins in a fruitless pursuit.]] |
| 37 | * GrumpyOldMan: His introductory mission is even called [[LampshadeHanging "A Boorish Man."]] He mellows out after a while, though. |
| 38 | * HandicappedBadass: His age might have weakened his body, but he can still kick ass if he catches you by surprise. [[spoiler:When Connor was grounded and struck by two surviving mercenaries on the manor grounds, Achilles used the sound of the storm to mask his approach and stabbed them both]]. ''Rogue'' shows that he was actually crippled by [[spoiler:Haytham, who shot him in the knee solely to spite him.]] |
| 39 | * HeroAntagonist: In ''Rogue'', though it's clear that his actions in the game are actively harmful to the world at large. |
| 40 | * KnightInSourArmor: Is fairly cynical in [=AC3=], but still believes in doing the right thing. He sums this up in '''III''': |
| 41 | --> '''Achilles''': It's quite impressive, what you've accomplished. |
| 42 | --> '''Connor''': Is that... a compliment? |
| 43 | --> '''Achilles''': Now don't misconstrue. I'm sure the whole endeavor will end tragically. But to have come this far... Well, it's more than I ever expected. |
| 44 | * LifeWillKillYou: [[spoiler:He dies in his sleep in 1781, and Connor buries him next to the graves of his wife and child, with the rest of the Homestead's residents attending his funeral]]. |
| 45 | * LikeASonToMe: It's never directly stated but this is clearly how he feels about Connor, [[spoiler:what with him being renamed after his own dead son, Connor Davenport]]. |
| 46 | * LoopholeAbuse: After the Colonial Assassin purge he accepts the terms of the Templars to confine himself in exile to his manor. Aside from a few trips to Boston and Philadelphia he upholds this for the rest of his life...which doesn't stop him from passing on all of his knowledge and skills to Connor, who subsequently kills the same Templars. |
| 47 | * TheManBehindTheMan: ''Rogue'' reveals that he was this for many forms of criminal activity in the northern Colonies, controlling the criminals of New York through Hope Jensen, a large army of mercenaries through Kesegowaase, and pirates and smugglers through Chevalier. |
| 48 | * MeaningfulName: Named Achilles, has difficulty walking. |
| 49 | * TheMentor: To Connor and also to Shay and Hope Jensen. [[CynicalMentor Achilles isn't much of an idealist and mainly keeps Connor from letting his ambitions get the better of him. After he dies, the epitaph on his tomb is called "the old man on the hill", similar to Al Mualim's "Old Man of the Mountain".]] |
| 50 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Subverted. [[spoiler:He does die, but in his sleep, and does not enter combat]]. |
| 51 | * MyGreatestFailure: He bitterly regrets his failure to save the Colonial Brotherhood from destruction. At one point, Connor berates him over it and his refusal to rebuild the Order until Connor came along, but later tries to apologize: |
| 52 | -->'''Connor:''' Achilles... I... I owe you an apology... It was wrong of me to say the things I did... |
| 53 | -->'''Achilles:''' Your words were harsh, Connor, but there was also truth there. I failed the Order. Allowed the Templars to take control... |
| 54 | ** The events in ''Rogue'' show the truth of his words. |
| 55 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: During the events of ''Rogue'', he does what the Assassins have been doing for centuries: hunt for First Civilization relics to keep them out of the hands of Templars. Only this time, [[spoiler:interfering with those artifacts causes earthquakes that kill thousands]]. Achilles refusal to listen to Shay's warnings about this led to him turning on the Brotherhood, and learning the truth crushed Achilles. Some of his warnings to Connor in ''ACIII'' make a lot more sense now, since he obviously sees some of himself in Connor's eagerness to stop the Templars and save the world without fully thinking his actions through. |
| 56 | -->'''Achilles:''' In your haste to save the world, boy - take care you don't destroy it! |
| 57 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Zigzagged. When Connor first meets Achilles, he's 59 years old (only six years older than Ezio was at the end of ''Revelations'') yet he looks like he's in his seventies. It doesn't help that he has a prominent limp caused by Haytham Kenway kneecapping him years prior. By the time of his death in 1781, Achilles really is 71, but unlike Connor the developers used the same character model as they did for Achilles' scenes in 1769. |
| 58 | * OldMaster: Connor sought Achilles out for training because "the spirits" said that Achilles mold him into someone capable of saving his own village. When the meeting takes place, Achilles is already a fairly old man. |
| 59 | * ParentalSubstitute: Towards Connor. Their dynamic starts playing out like this relatively quickly, with Achilles even hanging a lampshade on how Connor's behavior is reminiscent of a teenager rebelling against a parent. Especially upon the discovery that [[spoiler:he named "Connor" after his long-deceased son]]. |
| 60 | * ProfessionalKiller: He is an Assassin after all. |
| 61 | * RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: [[spoiler: In his posthumous letter he states that Connor restored his faith in the Brotherhood and its mission]]. |
| 62 | * RetiredBadass: Though not by choice, it's mainly so that the Templars don't want to finish him of. [[spoiler:Shay wanted Achilles spared because he wanted the other Assassins to know the dangers of the First Civilization Roots while Haytham kneecapped him out of spite]]. |
| 63 | * RulesLawyer: While the Templars allowed him to live provided that he retire from the Order, there's nothing preventing him from training Connor in order to restore it in his stead. |
| 64 | * SinkOrSwimMentor: He leaves the wanted Connor behind in Boston, for him to find a way out of the situation and the city. Granted, he ''does'' tell Samuel Adams to assist Connor in doing so, effectively taking advantage of the situation to introduce him to a useful ally and learn a crucial assassin lesson, ''hide in plain sight''. |
| 65 | * SoProudOfYou: His letter that he leaves behind to Connor is filled with the praise and admiration that Achilles never directly expressed to Connor. |
| 66 | --> '''Achilles''': Your unwavering tenacity and honesty have burdened you with responsibility far greater than any one man should bear. But you, if anyone are capable. You have given an old man hope that all is not lost and for that I thank you |
| 67 | * SpareAMessenger: [[spoiler:This is the primary reason he survived the events of ''Rogue''. Now that he knows what the temples do, he can prevent the Assassins from trying to dig them up again. Haytham agrees to Shay's point that if he's not alive to tell the Brotherhood of the danger, they might just keep going at it.]] |
| 68 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Life was not kind to Achilles to put it ''mildly''. [[spoiler:His family died, the Assassins were decimated under his leadership, he was crippled by Haytham and he was effectively exiled to a decaying manor.]] After Connor's arrival he got to spend the last years of his life watching the Assassin Brotherhood be reborn and the Davenport Homestead grow into a thriving trade community. It visibly softens his personality especially when he attends gatherings such as Norris and Myriam's wedding. He dies peacefully in his sleep, content with the knowledge that the future of the colonial Assassins is safe with Connor, who makes the Assassins the dominant faction in colonial America. |
| 69 | * TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Achilles is technically the BigBad of ''Rogue'', being hellbent on leading the Brotherhood to uncover the artifacts despite Shay's warnings that they'll cause destruction. During the final encounter, Shay gives chase to Liam while Haytham pursues Achilles. By the time Shay reunites with Haytham, he has already defeated Achilles.]] |
| 70 | * YouMonster: [[spoiler: Gets one of these from Shay when he first returns from Lisbon. Achilles is so outraged that he proceeds to ignore everything Shay is trying to say. He then tries to give a similar speech to Shay later on, not aware his former pupil is now completely devoted to stopping the Assassins no matter the cost.]] |

| 77 | |
| 78 | ->''"Ah, it's good to be at sea again!"'' |
| 79 | |
| 80 | The first mate on the ''Aquila'', Faulkner joined the Assassins in 1753. He resides on the Homestead next to the ''Aquila'''s dock and helps Connor gather a crew for the vessel to combat the Templars at sea. |
| 81 | ---- |
| 82 | * AlmightyJanitor: The ''Aquila'', the custom-made Assassin ship, required specially experienced sailors and a crew to preserve it. Robert Faulkner was brought into the Brotherhood specifically because he was that good a sailor, but despite that, Faulkner never served as TheCaptain and remained a lifelong First Mate. The reasons for this, as stated in "the Rogue War Letters" is that Faulkner took sailing to be SeriousBusiness and felt that the Aquila was so awesome that it intimidated him as TheCaptain to take it into war (and the Ship itself for a long time was AwesomeButImpractical for the Assassins) so he instead served as a first mate, tending to its repairs and maintaining its condition. |
| 83 | * CoolOldGuy: Faulkner is a pretty cool guy. |
| 84 | * DeadpanSnarker: Is very sarcastic. During the Naval Mission "French Intervention", he snarks at the French sailor acting as a BackseatDriver to Connor: |
| 85 | --> '''Frenchman''': ''"Le Randolph started with us then departed without warning. Typique. This is why le Lieutenant insisted I come aboard. Partons."'' |
| 86 | --> '''Faulkner''': ''"[[BerserkButton We'll go when we're good and bloody ready]]."'' |
| 87 | --> '''Frenchman''': ''"Quoi? (What?)"'' |
| 88 | --> '''Faulkner''': ''"The Atlantic is a dangerous place for a lone ship, [[SarcasmMode especially one laden with such desirable stock]]. You must [[BlatantLies be glad to see us]]."'' |
| 89 | --> '''Frenchman''': ''"[[FrenchJerk Bof. It is hot here. My Lieutenant is not excited for the cold of the North.]]"'' |
| 90 | --> '''Faulkner''': ''"[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Is this man being serious?]]"'' |
| 91 | * DrowningMySorrows: After the ''Aquila'' was sunk and the Brotherhood in America was almost completely destroyed. He only stops when Connor joins the Assassins and begins rebuilding the Order and his ship. |
| 92 | * {{Expy}}: Faulkner is a pretty blatant one of Joshamee Gibbs from ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', from his character design right down to even being voiced ''by his actor.'' |
| 93 | %%* FatherNeptune |
| 94 | * IOweYouMyLife: Joined the Assassins upon Achilles saving his life while helming the ''Aquila.'' |
| 95 | * InsistentTerminology: Sets Connor straight every time he mucks up sailor terms, especially calling the ''Aquila'' "it" and a "boat." |
| 96 | * ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: When he joined the Assassins, he cut off all contact with Amanda Bailey, knowing how dangerous it was to have relations outside the Assassin Order that could be used against him. When they meet again during the American Revolution, they both seem pleased to see the other again, and she even slaps his butt at one point, indicating that interest is still there. |
| 97 | * TheLancer: Serves as first mate on the ''Aquila''. |
| 98 | * NumberTwo: On the ''Aquila'', he's also TheMentor to Connor, being a far more experienced sailor. |
| 99 | * OlderSidekick: Faulkner initially serves as Connor's [[TheMentor mentor]] in teaching him how to be a sailor. Once he finishes his training, he hands the crew of the Aquila over to Connor and becomes his First Mate. |
| 100 | * SeaDogBeard: Has a long beard and happens to be a sailor. |
| 101 | * UndyingLoyalty: Never mind that the Assassins are down and out in the Colonies, never mind that the Aquila was made a ruin in her last flight, Robert Faulkner never abandoned the Brotherhood, Achilles or Connor. |
| 102 | * VitriolicBestBuds: He and Connor don't always see eye-to-eye, such as his decision to honor Nicholas Biddle's DyingWish and scuttle the Randolph rather than claiming it, but he has nothing but UndyingLoyalty to him. |
| 103 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He isn't seen or mentioned again after the first memory of the third episode of the ''Tyranny of King Washington'' DLC. |

| 115 | * BadassesWearBandanas: Wears a white chefs bandana, and continues to do so even after becoming an Assassin. |
| 116 | * BloodKnight: He enjoys fighting, which Connor channeled into a productive quality by recruiting him into the Assassins. |
| 117 | * DisappearedDad: His father was a chef like him, but was killed defending Quebec during the French and Indian War when Stephane was sixteen. |
| 118 | -->'''Stephane:''' He died on the field. But I'm told he fought ferociously. It matters little. He's gone now. |
| 119 | -->'''Connor:''' He would be proud of you. |
| 120 | -->'''Stephane:''' This is my one hope – that he smiles upon the choices I've made. |
| 121 | * TheDutifulSon: He judges his choices by whether his dearly departed father would approve of them or not. |
| 122 | * GratuitousFrench: He will lapse into French when he is particularly angry. |
| 123 | * HotBlooded: To the point that Connor gets into several fights with British soldiers because of it. |
| 124 | * TheLancer: He becomes a close friend to Connor as his first recruit and riot-instigator. He is also far more expressively angry and foul-mouthed. |
| 125 | * RedOniBlueOni: Red to Connor's Blue, because he is more hotblooded and prone to showy violence as opposed to Connor's stocism and quiet violence. He is also better at rilng people up. |
| 126 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Replace "roaring" with "loud French ranting", and you have his recruitment mission in a nutshell. |
| 127 | * TorchesAndPitchforks: His ability is Riot, which incites nearby crowds into a violent protest. Connor can use this as a way of distracting his target. |

| 139 | ---- |
| 140 | * BadassPreacher: Well, former priest and current assassin. |
| 141 | * BlackSheep: His disagreements with the church also angered his family, who helped drive him out of Ireland. |
| 142 | * BigDamnHeroes: If you look ''real'' closely in the background during [[spoiler:Connor being "escorted" to the gallows, Duncan can be seen performing a rooftop sentry assassination in preparation for the eventual rescue]]. |
| 143 | * BodyguardingABadass: His special ability is Bodyguard, providing cover for Connor whenever he needs it. |
| 144 | * DestinedBystander: He was the child who witnessed [[spoiler:Haytham assassinate his uncle Miko in the opera house]]. He confesses this to Connor in an optional conversation. |
| 145 | * EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:Remember that young boy Haytham met after killing Miko? It turns out that boy was a young Duncan. He can tell this to Connor during an optional conversation]]. |
| 146 | * FirstNameBasis: He is one of the few people who ask for Connor's real name, because he didn't believe it was "Connor" for a second. |
| 147 | * GenerationXerox: Like his uncle [[spoiler:Miko]], Duncan ends up becoming an Assassin. |
| 148 | * GoodShepherd: He's no longer a practicing priest, but he still talks like one and his character as a whole has themes of solidarity and reconciliation. As he tells Connor, everyone is part of the Lord's flock, and so they should get along. |
| 149 | * IrishPriest: Formerly: he left the priesthood after an unspecified disagreement with the church. |
| 150 | -->'''Duncan:''' All this reminds me of being back in the Old Country. Fightin' for land, fightin' for the right to see God my way. Didn't take long before I realized the fight was futile and stepped aboard a ship bound for the Colonies.

| 151 | * RealMenLoveJesus: A respected mediator and all around great guy, who uses his faith to help others reconcile. |
| 152 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is the unofficial judge of the Northern District of Boston. He was also already investigating the unlawful imprisonment and extortion of merchants when Connor shows up for the liberation mission. He even has his own "Court" in King's Tavern. |
| 153 | * ReconcileTheBitterFoes: After settling in Boston, he gained a reputation as a dispute settler who was often turned to instead of the expensive courts. His table at the King's Horse Tavern was even called "Little's Court". |
| 154 | * ReligiousBruiser: Used to be a priest before becoming an Assassin. |
| 155 | * WritersCannotDoMath: The Animus database states that Duncan was born in 1730 but he appears as a young boy in 1754 instead of an adult. Then again, the Animus database is filled with inconsistencies and is not fully reliable. |

| 171 | * BlackSheep: He hails from a family of Loyalists, but felt compelled to stop the forced conscription into the British Army by the Templars. He figures that such actions place him on the Patriot side of the conflict, but Connor assures him that he's an Assassin, neither Patriot nor Loyalist. |
| 172 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: He doesn't drink anymore, as his poor alcohol tolerance lead to an embarrassing incident in the past. |

| 219 | A German mercenary, Zenger left the army after arriving in New York, deciding he wanted to settle down on a farm. After that failed, he became a bodyguard in eastern New York, where he met Connor and joined the Assassins' while helping to stop a Templar British officer who was imposing martial law in the district. |
| 220 | ---- |
| 221 | * CallToAgriculture: After leaving the army, he first tried to settle down by buying a plot of land and farming like his parents. Crop failures forced him to move back to New York. |
| 222 | * CarryABigStick: He uses a mace in battle. |
| 223 | * GuileHero: He's the one who provides Connor's Assassins with the whole "disguise" idea. |
| 224 | * HappilyMarried: Enough that he wants his wife and son to join him in the Americas, war or no war. |
| 225 | * HiredGun: He was a mercenary for the British before resigning, and later became a bodyguard in New York before meeting Connor and joining the Assassins. |
| 226 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: He had twelve siblings, but only four of them reached adulthood. |
| 227 | * TrojanPrisoner: Recruiting him unlocks the Covert Escort ability, where Connor presents himself as a prisoner, with Jacob and a fellow recruit disguised as Redcoats. |

| 240 | * DysfunctionalFamily: His father left him and his mother when he was a child, and he hasn't spoken to his mother in over five years because she works on a plantation overseeing slaves, which he disagrees with. |

| 250 | Patience is a slave who leads a small group of runways. She is targeted by the Templar Edmund Judge in 1784 for a Piece of Eden she has, while also being sought out for recruitment by Aveline. |
| 251 | ---- |
| 252 | * ActionGirl: As expected from female Assassins. |
| 253 | * AmbiguouslyGay: When Aveline tells Patience that she just wants her, not her charm, Patience asks if she wants to play the "game of flats" [[note]] The "game of flats" referred to lesbianism in the 18th century. This is a reference to games with playing cards, which were called "flats", and an allusion to the rubbing together of two "flat" female pudenda.[[/note]]and then says Aveline can take her as a "game pullet" [[note]] An obsolete British appellation for a young prostitute, though clearly in this context Patience uses the term to mean "lover" instead the other thing.[[/note]] if she helps get her charm back from Judge. |
| 254 | * AncientArtifact: Has a Piece of Eden which allows her to see the truth of things and tell what someone is going to say a few seconds before they do. It has been passed down the maternal line of her family for a few generations. |
| 255 | * BadassesWearBandanas: Wears one over her forehead. |
| 256 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: Strangely, she has two hidden blades despite not being an Assassin when first meeting Aveline. |
| 257 | * BornIntoSlavery: She was born into the service of Judge. |
| 258 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: Her mothers "charm" allows her to do this, among other gifts: |

| 267 | * SlaveLiberation: Even though slavery was abolished in Rhode Island, Patience and the other minors who were enslaved would not be freed until they reached the age of maturity. Patience decided not wait and led her fellow slaves in an escape from Judge's service. |

| 279 | |
| 280 | The daughter of an French merchant and former African slave in New Orleans, Aveline lived a privileged life that others like her could not. Her outspoken nature and vocal opposition to slavery was only allowed due to her father’s protection. She was recruited into the Assassin Order in 1759. |
| 281 | ---- |
| 282 | * ActionGirl: The first playable one in the series. |
| 283 | * AnEntrepreneurIsYou: When Gérald introduces the trade system, he describes it as Aveline expanding her family's trading empire. |
| 284 | * BackToBackBadasses: With Connor. |
| 285 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: The hidden blade is a Type 1. |
| 286 | * DeadpanSnarker: She'll occasionally indulge in light snarking when discussing her missions, usually with her informants during the Business Rivals missions, and whenever she talks with Roussillon and Élise. |
| 287 | * DualWielding: Much like Connor she wields a Hidden Blade in tandem with another weapon. |
| 288 | * FamedInStory: Her efforts to free slaves make her a legend in America, and even slaves in Maryland have heard of her. Meanwhile, in modern times she becomes the focus of the first Abstergo video game and is likely one of the most famous Assassins in history for it. |
| 289 | * HistoricalVillainUpgrade[=/=]HistoricalHeroUpgrade: InUniverse. [[spoiler:Abstergo's propaganda -- specifically, the ''Liberation'' Virtual Experience -- makes her out to be an indoctrinated Assassin who finally "atones" by joining the Templars]]... conveniently leaving out [[spoiler:the finale where she [[FakeDefector assassinates the very Templars that she'd pretended to join]]]]. |
| 290 | * InTheHood: Can be bought and worn. |
| 291 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her lady persona, and even her assassin persona is pretty fancy. |
| 292 | * LadyOfWar: She moves very fluidly as an Assassin, and is serious and confident yet able to be ladylike when needed. Her Lady guise, and even her Assassin guise, are fancy in appearance, and she uses more feminine weapons like a [[ParasolOfPain parasol]] and whip. |
| 293 | * LegendaryInTheSequel: Connor's letter to Aveline during her DLC in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' tells her that she's well known as far north as Newport. |
| 294 | * LeParkour: Is an accomplished freerunner. |
| 295 | * MacGyvering: Makes her own dual hidden blades out of belts and knives when she infiltrates Chichen Itza initially unarmed. |
| 296 | * MacheteMayhem: She has a sugarcane machete in her arsenal. One of the achievements is to kill 5 enemies within 15 seconds. |
| 297 | * NecessaryDrawback: All three of Aveline's personas have drawbacks. Her Lady persona lets her charm or bribe guards so she can waltz right past checkpoints, but the dress makes any kind of climbing impossible and also slows you down. Her Slave persona does let her climb around, and it has a bunch of unique blending options, but your notoriety also rises higher for doing anything unusual, including climbing. The Slave persona is also weaker in combat, due to not being as heavily armed as her Assassin persona. The drawback to the Assassin persona is that your notoriety is always at a minimum of 1 (because seeing a woman covered in weapons running around is too unusual to NOT investigate). |
| 298 | * ParasolOfPain: In which she uses to hide poison darts. |
| 299 | * PimpedOutDress: She can [[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-23/ac3l-aveline-aristocrat-guise.html wear one as part of her noble persona]], a green and black dress with loads of brocade and gold trimming, which allows her to move freely around the upper parts of society. |
| 300 | * PoisonedWeapons: Like [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII Ezio's]] poison dart, Aveline uses a blowpipe and a Parasol gun to a similar effect. |
| 301 | * PrincessInRags: She is a lady of high society, both as a disguise and before the events that turned her towards the Assassins, and her persona as a slave woman is purposefully low class and allows her to blend into the background. |
| 302 | * PropagandaHero: In the present Abstero Entertainment tries to make Aveline their poster Assassin's all based on their market research [[spoiler: due to her [[TheMole seemingly]] sympathetic ties to the Templars.]] Altair, Ezio, and Connor all "failed" their market research. |
| 303 | %% * ProfessionalKiller: Like most Assassins. |
| 304 | %% * SlaveLiberation: Her main goal. |
| 305 | * UseYourHead: During an unarmed combo, one of her strikes is grabbing the enemy by the collar and delivering a headbutt to the his face which, if timed favorably, could result in a knockout. She also does this in two of her disarming reversals, by grabbing the weapon and headbutting her enemy away from it. If the weapon is two-handed, she uses her forehead, if it's one-handed, she uses the back of her head. |
| 306 | * WithDueRespect: Her relationship with Agaté. |
| 307 | * YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Aside from her Templar ties, a lot of Aveline's anger towards Madeleine de L'Isle stems from the fact that she banished her mother and murdered her father. Bringing up these injustices against her parents is one of the last things Aveline does before she assassinates Madeleine]]. |

| 317 | The Mentor of the Assassin Order in New Orleans, Agaté is a former slave who escaped from jail and took refuge in the Louisiana marshes. He conflicts with Aveline over her impulsiveness and acting without consulting him. |
| 318 | ---- |
| 319 | %%* BaldOfAuthority: Has the personality of one. |
| 320 | * CoveredWithScars: From his years as a slave and career as an Assassin. |
| 321 | * DrivenToSuicide: After [[spoiler:Aveline defeats him but spares his life, Agaté realizes he was wrong in his judgment of her, and commits suicide rather than live dishonored and broken]]. |
| 322 | * {{Expy}}: A lot of his characterization is eerily reminiscent of [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI Al-Mualim]]. |
| 323 | * FatalFlaw: His paranoia, self-doubt, and desire for vengeance all corrupt his judgment, [[spoiler:which makes him believe Aveline is a traitor and leads to his attempt to kill her]]. |
| 324 | * FinalExamBoss: [[spoiler:For Aveline via voodoo illusions of her previous targets]]. |
| 325 | * GoodIsNotNice: He is fairly abrasive in his interactions with Aveline and has no respect for mercy, becoming outraged upon learning Aveline spared [[spoiler:Governor Antonio de Ulloa in exchange for information and because he had a family]]. |
| 326 | * LeParkour: He is a master freerunner, navigating the swamps from the trees, and his home has multiple levels that can only be reached by climbing. |
| 327 | * MadeASlave: He was kidnapped from the west coast of Africa in 1729 when he was only seven years old and taken to become a slave in Saint-Domingue. He escaped in 1738 and joined the Assassin Brotherhood. |
| 328 | * MasterPoisoner: He specializes in poisons, and trains Aveline in their use as well. He has her frighten a unit of Spanish soldiers by poisoning them whenever they get close to a voodoo sign he crafted in the swamp, [[spoiler:and also uses a concoction on her when he believes she has betrayed the Assassins, causing her to see hallucinations of her previous targets]]. |
| 329 | * TheMentor: He recruited and trained both Aveline and Gérald. |
| 330 | * PoorCommunicationKills: He becomes convinced that Aveline has defected to the Templars, and [[spoiler:attempts to murder her, leading to his defeat and suicide]]. |
| 331 | * ProfessionalKiller: Like most Assassins. |
| 332 | * ShadowArchetype: To fellow African Assassin Mentor Achilles. Both are the only remnants of the Brotherhood in their respective region and they both mentor and have to rely on their young headstrong apprentices to carry out missions but whereas Achilles slowly warms up to Connor, Agate and Aveline's relationship gets uglier as the game progresses. Agaté also possesses far less patience than Achilles. |
| 333 | * StarCrossedLovers: With [[spoiler:Jeanne. Ultimately, the fact that his greatest love left him because of the organisation he serves]] leads to his downfall. |
| 334 | * TragicHero: He wants to free slaves and stop the Templars plots in New Orleans, but is unable to move past his desire for vengeance. [[spoiler:He commits suicide without having achieved any of his goals.]] |
| 335 | * TookALevelInJerkass: After Aveline chooses to spare one of her targets, Agaté quickly goes from soft-spoken mentor into an irrational, paranoid, impatient, condescending, prejudiced asshole. |
| 336 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: With Baptiste, a former Assassin with whom he escaped slavery with, but who later defected to the Templars. |

| 346 | An accountant who works for Philippe Olivier de Grandpré, he was recruited into the Assassin Order alongside Aveline and serves as a information officer. |

| 348 | * AmazonChaser: His attraction to Aveline suggests he is one. He tries hard to impress her by going on a mission himself, but quickly realizes that field work doesn't suit him. |

| 351 | -->'''Aveline:''' Gérald, don't be angry. You know we cannot mix... feelings... with work. |
| 352 | * ConvenientlyAnOrphan: He came to New Orleans at the age of ten as a political refugee from Arcadia, where his parents had died protesting British control of the region. This led to his swift and easy recruitment into the Assassin Brotherhood. |
| 353 | * GadgeteerGenius: One of his duties is to invent weapons for Aveline, which include a parasol gun. |
| 354 | * IdenticalGrandson: Though we never see what he looks like, the nervous way Subject 1 talks is very similar to Gérald. |
| 355 | * NonActionGuy: He was trained as an information officer, not in combat, so he mostly gathers information, gear, and money for the Brotherhood instead of going into the field. In fact, the one time he ''tried'' to not be a NonActionGuy, he decided he had enough excitement to last a lifetime. |
| 356 | -->'''Gérald:''' Aveline, I'll have you know, I'm not... afraid to get my hands dirty! Why should you have all the excitement? |

| 371 | A high-ranking Assassin entrusted with the Grand Temple Key. He is killed by Haytham Kenway in 1754 for the Key. |

| 373 | * CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Tells Haytham that things could have been different if he had approached them. This seems like a NoodleIncident until you read ''Literature/AssassinsCreedForsaken'' or play ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' and realize that Haytham's father was an Assassin. |
| 374 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: When Haytham approaches him, he's just sad that it had to come to this and doesn't move, protest or fight, with Haytham killing him reduced to a CutscenePrompt. |
| 375 | * TheRemnant: According to ''Syndicate'', Miko was one of the last Assassins left in London after Edward Kenway's death. |

| 386 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: The red sash around his waist clues in on his allegiance. |
| 387 | * FriendlyEnemy: He and Haytham get along well, to the point that Louis wants him to surrender and promises to treat him with honor as a captive, and gives him a sword when he choses to resist. |
| 388 | * HonorBeforeReason: A Templar and an Assassin are on the same boat together. The Templar, not knowing the Assassin's allegiance, considers him trustworthy. The Assassin, rather than simply murder him in his sleep, instead leaves clues for an Assassin vessel to follow their own vessel. When the other ship arrives, the Assassin reveals his nature to the unarmed Templar, who asks for a weapon. The Assassin complies with this request. How many things are wrong with this scenario? |
| 389 | *** Of course, this is Justified if you factor in Haytham is son of Edward Kenway, and the Assassins are still trying to convert him. They want to capture him rather than kill him, at least at that point. The "giving the weapon" part was stupid, though. |
