00:00Who are the top five Assassin's Creed protagonists?
00:03Number five, Cassandra.
00:04The de facto protagonist of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Cassandra is a muddle of contradictions
00:08in a very human way, very capable of showing compassion while also showcasing the brutality
00:13that Sparta is renowned for.
00:15Not only is Cassandra a fun character to play as, she's also one of the most key figures
00:19in the entire series.
00:21Number four, Altair Libanlahahad.
00:23The original protagonist of Assassin's Creed and one of the best, Altair, was our introduction
00:27to the Assassins, their creed, and the world that they inhabit.
00:30A deeply conflicted character, his writing was sharper than that of a lot of contemporary
00:34video games, and made a huge impact on gaming culture.
00:37Number three, Bayek.
00:39If you want to talk about Assassin's Creed characters with genuine emotion in their performance,
00:42they don't come much higher rated than Bayek in Assassin's Creed Origins.
00:46Perhaps the most emotionally complex character that we've ever seen in an Assassin's Creed
00:50game, Bayek is a sensational hero in a sensational setting.
00:53He's a natural fit on this list.
00:55Number two, Edward Kenway.
00:56Edward Kenway is a man on a mission in Black Flag, but not for revenge, for glory and booty.
01:01He's equally charming, enthralling, and foolish, all coalescing into a well-rounded and likeable
01:06protagonist.
01:07He's second only to the man who, for all intents and purposes, is the long-standing
01:11face of the series.
01:12Number one, Ezio Auditore di Firenze.
01:15As far as series protagonists go, they don't come much more important than Ezio Auditore.
01:19He's been the protagonist of three mainline games in the series, from Assassin's Creed
01:232 to Revelations.
01:24A genuinely vital figure of Assassin's Creed, Ezio remains the face of the franchise to this
01:29day.
