And looking at those games made us realize that there were a lot more notable assassins in the franchise than we first thought. Updated Apby Jacob Buchalter: There have been a few new Assassin’s Creed games released since this list first came out, namely AC: Odyssey and AC: Valhalla. To separate them into 'best' and 'worst', we'll have to look at every assassin's achievements, history, training, personality, character flaws, and more.

And, there are plenty of incredible time periods left for these games to utilize. From the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt to the Queen of England in Victorian London, and even Viking Kings, these games have explored the history of many Assassins and Templars through a future tech device known as an 'Animus'.

The Assassin Order is a secret organization that has been fighting a shadow war with the Templars, a group that aspires to control society in the name of 'peace'.

Although the war between the Templars and the Assassins has been fought for centuries in the game world, in the real world we have had the pleasure of diving into the massive mythology of Assassin's Creed for over a decade now.
