think stood the test of time
let us know in the comments number 10
crawford starrick assassin's creed
syndicate
you disrespect the very city that works
day
and night so that we may drink this
this miracle this tea after years of
presenting antagonists with blurred
lines between good and evil assassin's
creed syndicate featured crawford
starrick a templar whose villainy is
without question
starrick's pursuit of templar dominance
is purely to feed his hunger for power
which he achieves by making london a
city rampant with crime
today i granted a significant rise to my
staff in order to counter inflation
what i would supply all of london if i
could
although he doesn't have as much depth
as some of the other villains starrick's
tendency to chew the scenery in
over-the-top mannerisms makes him
an entertaining character to watch he's
also a worthy foil to jacob and evie
countering their differing personalities
with his own brand of ruthless and
cunning
starrick's pursuit of the shroud is
ultimately low in stakes in the series
overall
although he proves to be an intimidating
villain in his own right
the city belongs to the people you are
but one man
i am at the very top of the order
number nine bartholomew roberts
assassin's creed
iv black flag i see in you a touch of
untested genius
i'm bartholomew roberts edward
the sages are reincarnations of the
first civilization
with ayta's rebirth as bartholomew
roberts making him among the most
successful pirates
unlike most villains robert's loyalties
lie neither with the assassins nor the
templars with his focus
only on discovering the location of the
observatory to find his past life lover
juno
to accomplish his mission roberts plays
both assassins and templars and reaches
his goal
all while maintaining his role as a
pirate ancient yes
but nothing supernatural or strange
we'll be masters of the ocean with that
oh such ambitions
he remains elusive throughout the events
of assassin's creed
iv black flag and his sharp wit allows
him to outsmart those who pursue him
the mystery behind robert's identity
persists even at the game's end as it's
revealed that the sage is present
even in the modern day they created your
kind did you know that your people
were tools to them that's all you have
ever been
that's all you should ever be number
eight aspasia
assassin's creed odyssey i couldn't help
but notice your talent for debate
well done sokratis is an
interesting character the cult of cosmos
serves as the antagonistic group of
assassins creed odyssey
using cassandra's brother alexios as
their main weapon against her
cassandra decides to hunt down the many
members of the faction
whose leader's identity is shrouded in
mystery until the end of the game
what are you doing here you killed the
last member of the cult
well just about what
the reveal of aspacia as the leader
serves as a huge twist
having been cassandra's ally for the
majority of the game
although directly responsible for the
many tragedies that cassandra and her
family suffered ostracia displays
genuine remorse for her actions
this makes her the only antagonist to
admit her mistakes with the players
having the option to let her live
aspacia ultimately represents the turn
for the worst villains take in this
series in the name of good
i couldn't have done this without you
cassandra you're doing the right thing
i always try to do what's right then
we're after the same thing
number seven george washington
assassin's creed
iii the tyranny of george washington but
we
we have a greater purpose that will
unite us and lift us above these
trifling troubles
george washington's role in assassin's
creed 3 isn't in a positive light
due to his authorization of the attack
on conor's village
however he truly takes on the role of
the villain in the game's dlc
taking place in an alternate reality
where he becomes mad with power
through an apple of eden our nation
shall rise to its proper place
as the greatest of all the most
sovereign kingdom
the united states of america dubbing
himself
king of america washington begins a
tyrannical regime to make himself out to
be a god amongst men
due to the fact that this completely
alters the history we know
the villainous george washington is a
character hard to predict as his actions
become reprehensible enough for conor to
intervene
and defeat him the president's turn for
the worst is a reminder of how the
pieces of eden corrupt men to fiendish
lengths
but you didn't answer the question
i am the only cake here
number six deimos assassin's creed
odyssey
the artifact will expose them
the children of nicolas and miran are
separated after a prophecy dooms their
fate
while cassandra ends up carving her own
path alexios is brought up as a
brainwashed weapon of the cult of cosmos
now going by the name demos
despite several attempts by cassandra to
rehabilitate her younger sibling
deimos's personality is driven
completely by his rage
the contrast with cassandra makes deimos
the most personal antagonist yet
with the protagonist actively attempting
to prevent fighting her brother
due to deimos's similar abilities to
cassandra he's set up as the perfect
foil to the main character
his tragic background also makes him one
of the few villains that players can
genuinely
sympathize with my destiny is clear
and i won't let you get in my way
number five rodrigo borgia assassin's
creed
ii gentlemen tomorrow
a new sun rises over france the first
villain to have a constant presence in
the main character's journey
rodrigo borgia served as ezio's target
for more than two decades
unflinching in his quest for power
borgia displays
all the dastardly traits of an
antagonist who isn't afraid to harm even
his own family to further his needs
don't you see him the prophet is already
here
i am the prophet the character is
credited with truly introducing the
pieces of eden
and the lore of the first civilization
with his pursuit of the vault placed as
the backdrop of the second game
borja's strategic brilliance is
difficult to top as he seizes many
influential figures to his side
and manages to become the pope more
importantly
borgia is an intrinsic part of ezio's
character with their final battle
proving
ezio's heroic nature get it over with
then
no killing you won't bring my family
back
number four warren vidic assassin's
creed
assassin's creed iii where am i
you're inside the animus which
is it's a projector that renders genetic
memories
in three dimensions while villains in
this series are limited to single games
warren vidic was the overarching
antagonist of the desmond miles saga
the first villain to appear as well
vidic's abduction of desmond
kickstarts the franchise and places him
as the representation of the modern day
templars
despite lacking an action-oriented role
vidic's threat is clear
as he expertly manipulates characters
around him to reach his goal
well we've got the map how many
at least half a dozen we don't need them
all
we should assume some amount of decay i
can't imagine they'll all still be
functioning
this includes placing lucy stillman as a
templar double agent
along with brainwashing daniel cross to
serve the templars
the complete lack of redemptive
qualities in vidiq is an accurate
portrayal of the ultimate ruthlessness
of the templars and just how far
abstergo has come in becoming an evil
faction
all this makes his ultimate defeat all
the more sweet to behold
here it is wait no
number three almo lim assassin's creed
you play a dangerous game i assure you
this is no game the plot of the first
game has all tyres seek the lives of
nine templars on the orders of mentor
al-mulim the story makes it seem that
altair has a chance to redeem himself
for his mistakes
until a twist reveals al-mulim as a
secret templar all along
i found proof proof of what
that nothing is true and
everything is permitted a shrewd
tactician and master manipulator
al-mulim tricks altair
into taking out his co-conspirators in
order to wield the power of the apple of
eden
all for himself the battle between
al-mulim and al-taiyir is the greatest
portrayal of the power of the pieces of
eden
with al-mulim's phantoms reflecting his
devious nature
his actions effectively shatter the
creed's integrity proving how he strung
both the assassins and the templars
around
so it seems you have won then
go and claim your prize number two
cesare borgia assassin's creed
brotherhood
i appreciate all that you have done for
me but i have the army so i am making
the decisions
after ezio defeats rodrigo borgia his
son cesare continues his antagonism of
the assassins
unlike rodrigo cesare prefers domination
through the forces at his disposal
directly causing great tragedy to ezio
by seizing his home front of
monterregione
a combination of cruelty and an insane
god complex
cesare borgel loses his mind completely
as the story progresses
where is the peace of eden stop
i know where it is and you did not tell
me
he had taken it this makes him even more
dangerous
with chisari going so far as to killing
his own father to maintain control
his hostile takeovers result in cesare
being the most powerful man in rome
forcing ezio to create an entire
brotherhood to have a chance at
challenging cesare
his villainy is such that even future
templars consider tazare's reign
a dark age for the faction you cannot
kill me no
man can murder me before we continue

number one hatham kenway assassin's
creed iii
he was convinced you could become the
best among us
i expect you will not disappoint i don't
plan to sir
it's when haytham kenway is introduced
that the similarities between templars
and assassins come to notice
assassin's creed 3's prologue is played
through hatham's point of view
and the implication of him being an
assassin is shattered
with the reveal of hatham's status as
the templar's grand master
an extremely layered character hatham
brings a certain charm through his wit
humor and tendency to keep his cool his
father-son dynamic with
connor places a genuine connection
between the hero and the villain
further intensifying their final clash
then what do you propose
i will find a guard who is off duty and
take his uniform
very well hatham subverts the evil
templar role by truly believing in the
order's cause
making points that can't be argued
against there's still
enough ruthlessness in him however for
us to want to take him down
thus fulfilling his role as the villain
still
i'm proud of you in a way you've shown
great conviction
strength courage
all noble qualities
i should have killed you long ago in the
mood for more awesome gaming content
