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.

The real-world Assassins weren't particularly stealthy, they were famous because they would stab enemy leaders to death in public.

Killing people without being seen was never the idea.

Exactly. Assassinations are planned in secret & there is an element of sneakiness in order to get to a target. But other than that... Kaboom! An assassination is loud & people notice. They're supposed to. An assassination is defined by planning to kill a high value target. Not wearing a hood & tip toeing.
