Rating Assassin’s Creed main antagonists!
NOTE: THIS IS MY OPINION AND BASED OFF MY OWN EXPERIENCES PLAYING THE GAMES! Also, I didn’t play Unity or the games beyond Odyssey because I’m poor. 💔
Incredible twist villain in which he is supposed to be your guide and mentor but he ends up corrupted by power and idealism. I think his writing was well done, and his goals were understandable even at his own end.
I think he was really interesting in theory but he wasn’t present enough in AC2 to leave a major impression on me. I think he was far more interesting in AC Brotherhood, wherein he tried to maintain his power instead of further build upon it only for Cesare to ruin it all. Also, extra point because I love how the ending of AC2 is fighting the Pope, that’s just hilarious to me
I hate everything about him and that’s what makes him awesome to me. I just love to see him lose. This is a guy who let power get to his head and didn’t realize what the consequences were until they pushed him off a cliff. Incredible villain who gets his comeuppance. Subtracted points because I hate incest, would’ve been 8/10
An interesting idea in theory but he wasn’t present enough for me to become very interested in him as a character. I was very fond of most characters in Revelations but Ahmet is probably the weakest part of it all. He isn’t a bad or poorly written guy, I just wish he and Ezio had more interactions prior to his reveal as a twist villain.
Haytham Kenway: 10,000/10
I’m definitely biased because I wanna run this man over like a lawn mower but like he is also just a fantastically written character with a lot of nuance and potential and I wish they gave us more of him. He’s a present figure, and even when he isn’t physically present his shadow lurks over Connor even after his death. He makes you question the validity and integrity of both the Assassins and Templars. Absolutely fantastic character. I still hate him
Wasn’t very present, not enough for me to gaf anyway. I remember Edward Thatch more. Fuuuuuck Black Flag is so good dude but like the villains are boring I’m sorry. Off topic but my favorite quote is “in a world without gold we would’ve been heroes”. Anyway boring ass villain, cool design ig
Madeleine de L’Isle: 6/10
Honestly? I really enjoyed her story in how she tried to manipulate Aveline into joining the Templars, knowing all along that Aveline was her enemy but wanting her to join her anyway. I subtracted points because she orchestrated a slave trade network though, would’ve been an 8/10
I’m not getting to de Fayet. But I loved Freedom Cry it just…yea no.
Crazy. That’s all I can say. Like he’s just crazy. But like a less crazy version of Cesare Borgia. I do like crazy villains tho
??? This guy gets completely overshadowed by everyone else and he’s supposed to be the main antagonist. He’s more boring than Torres because at least Torres was introduced in the beginning. I guess that’s kind of the point since Bayek and Aya had no idea who their son’s killer was but he feels incredibly shoehorned in and his influence is barely felt.
I only include him because his memory corridor scene and the final battle while playing as Aya is soooooo fucking cool. Again, a terrible guy you love to see lose.
And that’s all I got up to. I don’t rlly count Deimos here but for those curious, I’d give Deimos a 7/10 because I like Kassandra and Alexios. Have a great day guys ♥️ let me know your thoughts if you wanna share! Keep it kind and respectful ♥️
