@Pyrogram: I respectfully disagree. Connor being strong-willed and stubborn made him a pitiful assassin. His operations almost always went awry, he was constantly hesitant to invest himself in the actual politics of colonial America and clung to his sense of self-righteousness. I think he should've taken the job more honorably.
Hail to the king, baby.
Altair was the best assassin in terms of achievements, no debate needed, he defeated the templar in their golden age.
Ezio re-built the brotherhood and did what no assasin had done for hundreds of years.
Connor defeats some British.
Connor's feats are there, people just don't like his character. Lol, I mean the man can take on multiple bears at the same time with just 2 knives!
Anyway, just like Ezio did, Connor rebuilt the brotherhood, but unlike Ezio, he did it primary alone and started in his early twenties. Ezio officially became a master assassin in Brotherhood, and by that time he was at least 39. Also Ezio had a host of more seasoned Assassins in his corner all the while, and Connor just had Achilles barking orders from the sidelines. Connor carried the entire Assassin order and ideals on his shoulders (not to mention the safety of his people), and was doing it from the age of like 18.
Another thing is that Connor defeated the Templars, not the British per-say, but even though the Brits weren't his focus, Connor did fight against Britsh soldiers (the most organized military in the world at the time) and was successful in accomplishing his goals.
A few feats:
- Connot took out at least 7 heavily fortified military forts, alone and/or with his recruits help, not to mention the fact that was an accomplished naval captain and won some serious naval battles.
- His feat of crossing a war-torn, canon bombarded Boston on foot, and taking out 2 naval ships single handedly without being seen is epic. As well as was his plan to assault New York's military district in order to get to his prey (which he was successful with).
Connor did much work in his game.
Also, and though it was never formal, Connor reached Master Assassin status arguably earlier than Altair did. And to solidify that, he also defeated Haytham, a decorated and distinguished Master Assassin/Templar, while injured.
While Connor may not be as developed a character as Altair and Ezio were, and despite his obvious character flaws (history of brash and "childish" behavior), it is still undeniable that he was a beast in combat, that he was a very good tactician when given prep; Connor was/is an awesome assassin.
