Go To

1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Jenny assumes that her father is a sexist pig who is trying to sell her to a fiance she doesn't want and turn her into a brainless UpperClassTwit rather than a badass Assassin. Players of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIV'' may note that as the sole remnant of Edward's dead wife, he may be attempting to protect her from a life of violence. [[spoiler: This backfires horribly, of course, as an Assassin-trained Jenny might have turned the tide during Birch's assassination attempt and certainly would have been able to escape the Sultan's court.]] This would make Jenny his unwitting MoralityPet.
2* BaseBreakingCharacter: Jenny Kenway, who while having ''excellent reason'' to be hateful, never really has a kind word to say about anybody.
3* BrokenBase: To some ''Forsaken'' is a good tie-in {{Prequel}} and {{Interquel}} to ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'' and ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' providing BackStory of Haytham Kenway and seeing the events of ''III'' [[AnotherSideAnotherStory through his eyes]], to others the book makes the characters motivations far less mysterious and confusing and in retrospect, gives a very poor finish to Edward Kenway with many people regarding its ApprovalOfGod from the AC team with regret in hindsight.
4* CompleteMonster: [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade General Edward Braddock]], aka "[[InsaneAdmiral The Bulldog]]", is a Templar who helped Reginald Birch cover up the Kenway mansion raid. Allying himself with [[Characters/AssassinsCreedHaythamKenway Haytham Kenway]] during the siege of Bergen op Zoom, [[EvenEvilHasStandards Haytham showed disgust]] when Braddock has a family killed all because a father called him craven. During the UsefulNotes/SevenYearsWar, Braddock oversees the annihilation of countless Native American tribes and French camps, and ignores an offering of truce before ordering his men to slaughter them. He would later leave his men to die while trying to escape an ambush led by Haytham.
5* MoralEventHorizon:
6** [[spoiler:Reginald Birch's betrayal]].
7** Haytham Kenway thinks Braddock's murder of refugees qualifies as this. Audiences will likely think its Braddock's ValuesDissonance RousingSpeech about the need to destroy the Native Americans and steal their land.
8* ValuesDissonance:
9** A weird one where Haytham is interrogating a woman about a man who [[spoiler:helped kill her father]] and she's more interested in clarifying the fact said man was a widower than a married man she was adultering with.
