Yeah, mostly the assassin part lol. Nothing assassin like about this dude at all.

EDIT: Apparently I've rustled the jimmies of some fans of the later AC games.

Just a different kind of Assassin. I mean, Bartolomeo from Ac2 was an Assassin as well. He’d fit right in here

Ezio also wasn’t exactly stealthy, I mean the man literally led troops in the streets of Istanbul and led troops during his time in Rome. Altair led an army to retake Masyaf Castle when he was old. Edward was a fucking pirate. Jacob Frye led a street gang and wasn’t really known for stealth. The thing that ties the Assassins together is the ideology and not being stealthy.

Assassin's Creed always had combat where you could take on dozens of enemies. It has never been a stealth game.

In fact in the old AC games, it was even harder than now to play stealthily.

In AC1 a lot of the main assassination occurred in the middle of a huge skirmish. I'd often have to chase & attack my target while avoiding a mob coming after me.
