I suppose Ezio does know about the Assassin order early on, but once Achilles was convinced to teach Connor, he learned far more about the order than Ezio did at his age.

Connor: Freedom, Ezio: Revenge, Altair: Fame. Honestly, every protagonist of AC wants something before they become a true Assassin. Connor saw becoming an Assassin as a way to bring freedom and peace to all, including his people. The Hologram gave him the goal, not of simply killing a few people, but of becoming an Assassin.

He doesn't care as much about being an assassin. And he does that because it's what will help him protect his people as well as find Charles Lee. It starts out with being told by a hologram of TWCB where to go and who to meet. By the time he gets to Francesco, Ezio now shows respect for the targets he kills, and also he gets into the business of tracking down the target/targets).Ĭonnor on the other hand, he doesn't seem that much of an assassin. When he kills Vieri it was partly from defending the city and partly because he and his family might have had something to with the conspiracy against the Auditore family.

I'd say he's a full fledged assassin by the time he kills Francesco (he kills Uberto entirely out of revenge. And even though he isn't sworn into the brotherhood until near the end of AC2, some might consider him an assassin before then. Ezio learns about the (existence of) assassins early on when he's training in the fight ring with Mario. I'm sure you guys have discussed this to death, since I only really frequent this site when there is actual new stuff to talk about, or when ideas/speculation for future AC games strikes me, but there's my opinion. Different societies change the flavor of stories significantly: imagine your favorite superhero origin story set in the 1800s, or even the 1920s. The difference in feel is also down to the fact that this is a different era, and these groups operate differently. I would argue that AC3 is more Assassin-centric than AC2 was, as Ezio doesn't even learn about the Assassins or become one until basically the final act. Connor starts to build the order again and gain contacts, but the focus of this game was on him doing what needed to be done before that starts in earnest: destroying the established Templar Order in the region. I would also suppose that if Washington is alive, Haytham and his Templars are dead.Īlso, this is a response to a really old comment and whatever, but AC3 is set in a place where the Assassins have basically been stripped of all influence, and only Achilles remains of the old order. Remember how Washington sent troops to destroy Connor's village? I'd suppose that's how Connor gets drawn into the conflict. Washington somehow survived the revolution without him, and never got put in his place by Connor, which is what supposedly kept him from becoming totally corrupt.
