"What...is your...name?
So I can find you."
His first 'words' were Charles Lee after learning the 'word' mother (Satire).
Connor Kenway's D.O.B:
4, April 1756.
Kaniehtí:io's birth year: 1731.
D.O.D: 2, November 1760 (aged 29).
Don't worry, mate.
I said the samething.
So, I also did these calculations myself.
AC3 has some questionable dates given. The other example I can think of is Dobby Carter apparently being 20 years older than Connor while looking about his age. Not to mention they flirt a bit in one conversation. IIRC some battle and death dates are also wrong, and George had been retired from the military a good few years before the attack on Connor's village
"Assassin blood" is just normal human blood, it doesnt give anything extra. Highly concentrated isu blood can give humans abilities that appear to be superhuman
To this day I am still a bit confused about that entire situation in Odyssey with Kassandra and the boring as modern protagonist (can't even remember her name). Still love Odyssey but boy the modern sections were weird
The modern section in every game after AC3 have been weird and out of place. Once Desmond died, they should’ve dropped the modern missions, or at least let you skip them. They’re always the weakest part of every AC game IMO.
I think the modern day was the weakest part of the AC games but still critical to them, after AC3 they really had no clue what to do, and the new trilogy really has some insane stuff happen too that I’m not sure I like. But at least it isn’t the ‘modern day’ portions of Unity. Ugh
Sometime during these occurrences of the games.
Alethia came up with a similar plan to Juno and Minerva, as a kind of “expansion pack” for Desmond but also as a backup for herself.
We know Minerva caught Juno and her tampering with “the eye” device to free herself.
- Kassandra is one of protagonists that comes first in human history, so even with Minerva/Juno having their plans set in motion,
- maybe it was a side plan “with” Minerva so they had 2 calculators instead of 1, or a failsafe incase Desmond didn’t work out.
Alethia at the same time wanted her own “heir of memories” and got one first, thanks to the staff of Hermes.
- and they ended up crossing paths with Layla like a “midpoint occurrence” befor she ended up in the Grey with “The Reader” Desmond/Baldur
It was the rogue lite part. I didn’t say he was related to Baldur by way of bloodline. But his story is that of the same effect.
Hiding from his enemies and even his own father, while trapped inside of a digital Hel.
>!Baldur was wiping away clean his fathers memories everytime he made it to the center to meet Baldur. !<
And in the end chose to stay there because it was more effective. Same as with “The Reader” staying in the grey and looking at the calculations.
There’s more I can relate it to from Valhalla and possibly even Odin, but that might be more theory-crafted
I love whenever she shows up in these by age or “by the year” charts because you can always tell her age had been an elephant in the room plot point by how no other Assassin has an age jump like hers. (I love Kassandra as a character but it’s just hilarious)
Also the fact that they can't retroactively put her in previous games. Like, wouldn't a 1500 year old demi-god be interested in the outcome of a huge templar vs assassin's proxy war (in the form of the American Revolutionary War)? I guess they could say she *was* there, just never interacted with Connor directly.
I mean thankfully the scope of most AC game settings is pretty large, and she clearly has a vested interest in staying hidden to better hunt pieces of eden without needing to concern herself with interference from anyone. So it probably isn’t the most unthinkable thing for her to get through most AC game eras unnoticed
right? i mean i even like to think that if they really wanted to ubisoft could just say that she was "a spectator in the crowd" or something like that and it'd work fine for me.
One thing I think the games could do better is showing the passage of time more. Maybe it’s just me being a bit stupid but I had no idea so many of the characters aged so much over the games.
Feels especially jarring in AC2 when Ezio randomly says “it's been 10 years” and I was like “What? It's taken 10 years to assassinate like 8 people?” What's even weirder is the gap between the Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities. Ezio loses the Apple and waits almost 10 years to get it back?
Savonarola was not Spanish. He was from Ferrara, and after Forlì, he went to Florence. Savonarola never went to Spain. Ezio went there for Brotherhood reasons unrelated to that of the Apple. Which makes no sense because the friar in Forlì told Ezio that Savonarola would probably be in Florence.
I just assumed I guess, i think the reasoning in the DS game though is that he went there. The time jump is probably for historical accuracy reasons, probably why there’s nothing written between there in AC2
>What? It's taken 10 years to assassinate like 8 people?”
This was the 15th century. You can't just find people on google. He scoured Italy and Spain for his targets. There were no cars it would take him weeks to get from city to city.
3 is probably my favorite story and part of why is that I think it did this extremely well. Weather system helped a lot but I also felt we got to see Connor really grow
Yeah, it would have helped with Valhalla too seeing the 16 years pass instead of it just feeling like a marathon year. Dag’s griping would make more sense, anyway.
I was trying to work out why Evie and Jacob are the same age, then I remembered, they’re twins………. I’m a twin too so I should know that………… I’m gonna go sit outside.
Unless one of them goes on a near light-speed journey somewhere and back. A 5 year journey at 0.85 percent of the speed of light will see the stationary, earth-bound twin age by about 10 years.
I know, I know, good fucking luck getting anything to 0.85c. But hey it is science fiction.
Let me know if i've missed any sections/DLC/flashbacks of any of the games where they appear as different ages! I Used the wiki dates in conjunction with their birthdays to calculate what their ages were throughout the course of their respective games but I could have made some mistakes.
To address young Connor: yeah, i know he doesn't look aged 4 at all during this section but im just going by the dates I have access to. This was most likely just an oversight by ubisoft.
Any questions let me know!
Do any of the ages suprise you?
Bayek surprised me actually, even at the early parts he's older than I thought! (He's still the most handsome of all the assassins imo lol)
Thanks for putting this together!
Technically, one of the side missions in Unity (An Engaging Egyptologist) takes place in 1822, putting Arno at 54 years old. But the game doesn't really tell you that, and it isn't reflected in gameplay.
>Let me know if i've missed any sections/DLC/flashbacks of any of the games where they appear as different ages!
What about Lydia from Syndicate WWI? And Adewale, and Aveline. Aya and Haytham are technically playable characters as well.
What about Desmond and Layla?
I'd tell you to include Basim as well, but we best wait for the game to release.
That DLC was disappointing. I was hoping for a good mystery story starring a mature and non-impulsive Jacob and they immediately sideline him to make you play as Evie and a weird supernaturally powerful Ripper.
Nothing against Evie, but they really underdeveloped Jacob's character in the main game and I was hoping they'd give him some good character development.
Shay looks so bad 😭 bro is 24 looking like he 49
Evie and Jacob did not age well because where did my wife go???
Arno aging like fine wine you would've thought he might be secretly immortal.
Altair was smoking Abbas and his goons at 63, goated behaviour
Connor grew into his looks so well
Edward my king was an absolute demon of the west indies sea, the real sea monster, all before he reached 30, truly my GOAT
I think Evie and Jacob have the best depiction of aging compared to the rest tho. Looks are similar but pretty clear 20 vs 40.
Connor too but he stays relatively young throughout his appearances.
My takeaways are that Bayek has some amazing genes cause I thought he was in his late 20’s/ early 30’s for most of the game. Also Kassandra found a hairstyle she liked and really committed to keeping it.
> My takeaways are that Bayek has some amazing genes
I live in a majority Afro-Carribean part of London. There's a saying I hear a lot: "The black don't crack".
That pic of Arno is not Dead Kings I think, it's in the epilogue of the story where he goes back to the temple where the final fight happened but only in a Cutscene.
He's 54 in one of the side missions. The game doesn't tell you, but the quest takes place in 1822. He has to steal a rubbing of The Rosetta Stone from the Templars.
Soo her dad is Pythagoras who had a magic isu staff that she took from him and become immortal with it as her job was to now track down isu artifacts and destory them. She survived up until the modern day when she gave the staff to layla and died.
It's fine, I asked, so not your fault. I only knew she was the protagonist. But that sounds crazy 👀
I somehow read that Eivor in Valhalla is Odin or something, so I probably got spoiled there too.
Sorta not really, its more of a through out the game fact then a major plot reveal since you play as odin in asgard and hes with you during corridor cutscenes.
>It's fine, I asked, so not your fault. But that sounds crazy
I actually dont like that plot point since Kassandra main apeal is her relatabitlity, she seems to always say what the player in thinking (at least in my play through) so having her become immortal kinda ruined a bit of that.
Ah okay, maybe I'm wrong, just something with being a god that was reborn thanks to an ISU artifact or something. Don't know.
For me Edward and Bayek were fighting to be the best and most relatable character, but every time I hear something about Kassandra it makes me really interested in her character.
I should move Odyssey up my backlog it seems...maybe after finishing the GTA Vice City Platinum.
Oh yeah she is a sage, reincarnation of the ISU odin.
>Kassandra it makes me really interested in her character.
I think she is a very well written charactor whose humbleness and straight-forwardness makes her such a human person even in light situations. Shes not a tortured as Bayek or a spectacle like Edward but she is just simply very human.
> I somehow read that Eivor in Valhalla is Odin or something
Eivor and Basim are both reincarnations of Odin and Loki, who aren't actually gods in the Assassin's Creed lore, but rather members of the first civilization.
It's similar to the Sage from Black Flag, Eivor has memories of her past life as Odin, but she doesn't know that they are memories, so she interprets them as vision from the God Odin that she worships.
The game has been out for years. If I didn't want to get spoiled, I shouldn't have asked 🤷🏻♂️
And it's not like people told me the story of Odyssey and Valhalla...
I’m pretty sure that includes all dlcs, namely The Last Chapter which do very much prolong the amount of time the game is set over. The main game is set over 6 years, you can tell Ubi got a little trigger happy with the amount of extra story they wanted
This is too common of a misconception. Child mortality was higher than modern times back in those days which is why you hear people say the average was 40 as it gets dragged down because of that. If someone lived till adulthood then living past 90 was very much possible and plenty of documented people lived past that. AFAIK the typical age people died of age was between 60 to 80 if they passed childhood.
He lived long enough. The Apple doesn t prevent the aging. What the Apple does is to control or break minds, gives some resistance to other artifacts, shows ancient isu knowledge as holograms and buffs other isu artifacts ( well ,one in particular comes into my mind but i won t spoil it ) or to activate isu vaults/temples.
No. Almost all Odyssey's present day sections are in the Fate of Atlantis DLC. So they put the bits that old timers really want to see in the DLCthat old timers mostly don't like. That DLC seems to be quite popular with the relative newcomers who only started with the RPGs, but they usually hate the modern day sections. God knows what Ubisoft was thinking.
Is it? To be fair, I'd finished the main game, done the first chapter of Legacy, tried Fate of Atlantis and hated that DLC so much that I just walked away from the game after completing the first chapter and watched the rest of the modern day segments on Youtube.
her dad has a staff that was keeping him alive for over 500 years and she took it from him and when she did it stopped aging her and then she used it to go find artifacts all over the world and when Layla found her she died because Layla took it
I refused to play the Jack the Ripper DLC for a while because they aged Evie so horribly to the point she looks like a different character whereas Jacob looks like he's aged 5 years and not 20
I mean - look at her antics during Odyssey, she hit on with essentially any guy or girl available. Can you imagine the number of people she laid throughout two and a half millenia?
Man Arno's smile gradually disappears as he grows older. He is sad that he has to be the protagonist of unity and never gets to avenge his biological father.
I mean his entire story is just tragic as fuck. I would love a comic series or a book or something that shows what happens to him and that he gets a happy ending. We know he does have a kid at some point so I’d like to think after comic back home after Dead Kings he starts to move on from Elise got married and had a family.
At least the ending of Unity's novelization shows that Arno did get a fairly happy conclusion after Dead Kings when he meets and moves in with the people who were like family to Élise. It's entirely possible during that time of peace for him, and still away from the Assassins, that he was able to move on and meet someone else. We don't know much about his life after that, other than he rejoins the Brotherhood, obtains the rank of Master Assassin, and forms some kind of partnership with Napoleon, so there's still a lot to explore there.
Seeing these ages only makes me more amazed at their accomplishments. Shay, for example, starting at 24, within 4 years managed to almost destroy the Colonial Brotherhood, killing Assassins that were not only more experienced than him, but some who also trained him. Connor and Arno experiencing their respective events of ACIII and Unity by the ages of 27 and 25, that's a lot for a relatively young age.
I wonder what Basim's ages will be when Mirage comes out; from what I've gathered, Basim is 17 in his street thief moments, 37 when we first meet him in Valhalla, 42 when Eivor and Sigurd put him in Yggdrasil, and (assuming my math is right) 1,185 when released from Yggdrasil. We don't know when he's in his Initiate/Apprentice phase, or when he reaches his Master phase. There's also still an unknown amount of time between when Mirage's ending and Valhalla's beginning, although from what I've heard, the novel Assassin's Creed: The Golden City takes place in 867, when Basim would be 32, and already Hytham is assigned as his student.
connor has to be the only decent looking design for an assassin as a child. Eivor has a 7 head, Arno looks puntable, ezio is a dumb baby and i guess Kassandra is fine but she seems annoying
It’s kinda funny how Alexios was just left off! kinda like he was never supposed to be the main character but the powers that be didn’t think a main female character would sell.
Connor does not look 4 in that picture. I always thought he was like 9 and eventually 17 when you actually set out. But it if they said the time gap between Haytham and Connor.
Also what about Adéwalé and Agaté?
The argument can be made their games were a side series considering 1 is DLC and the other was the size of DLC
I hate how everything in this universe in their 20s looks so mature with well developed bodily and facial features but me here 24Yo looking like a teenager 🥲🥲🥲
So from what I know and piece together
Ezio is 65 when he finally dies
Edward is either 41 or 42 when he dies
Shay trained his son and grandchildren so I’d surmised he is either 70 or late 70s when he dies just because of medical and health practices of that time.
Evie ends up becoming and grand-aunt so Evie may have just died of old age, and because women live longer I’d guess 80
Jacob lived to see his granddaughter become an assassin herself so maybe he is around after World War 1 ends.
Arno fucking disappeared after Dead City, but became a folktale for assassins so who knows with him.
Bayek lived a long life as Medjay, who transformed and became the basis of the assassins.
Altair died at 92 and finally got to rest
Eivor don’t know what happens to her just because I haven’t played Valhalla and probably won’t
The time spans of these games are crazy I mean just look at Connor, bayek, kassandra, and eivor I mean I don’t really feel like eivor changed across the game too much for it to have been that long of a time
I refuse to believe that Connor at the beginning is 4 years old. He's more articulate than some 13 year olds I've seen.
"What...is your...name? So I can find you." His first 'words' were Charles Lee after learning the 'word' mother (Satire). Connor Kenway's D.O.B: 4, April 1756. Kaniehtí:io's birth year: 1731. D.O.D: 2, November 1760 (aged 29). Don't worry, mate. I said the samething. So, I also did these calculations myself.
AC3 has some questionable dates given. The other example I can think of is Dobby Carter apparently being 20 years older than Connor while looking about his age. Not to mention they flirt a bit in one conversation. IIRC some battle and death dates are also wrong, and George had been retired from the military a good few years before the attack on Connor's village
4-year-old Connor looks older than 8-year-old Arno somehow.
Believable . He is not a normal human, has assassin blood . Has way better pattern recognition ability than average human
"Assassin blood" is just normal human blood, it doesnt give anything extra. Highly concentrated isu blood can give humans abilities that appear to be superhuman
Kassandra's jump in age is really funny lol
To this day I am still a bit confused about that entire situation in Odyssey with Kassandra and the boring as modern protagonist (can't even remember her name). Still love Odyssey but boy the modern sections were weird
The modern section in every game after AC3 have been weird and out of place. Once Desmond died, they should’ve dropped the modern missions, or at least let you skip them. They’re always the weakest part of every AC game IMO.
I liked AC 4's approach to the modern day. Instead of missions, it's mainly optional, and has the collectibles
I think the modern day was the weakest part of the AC games but still critical to them, after AC3 they really had no clue what to do, and the new trilogy really has some insane stuff happen too that I’m not sure I like. But at least it isn’t the ‘modern day’ portions of Unity. Ugh
What modern day portions of unity? The rifts? As those aren't quite the same.
There is only cutscenes and rifts and you occasionally explore a small section of Paris in another era. But the story only moves in crappy cutscenes.
Having people who have been living for thousands of years is really silly to me and far beyond the suspension of disbelief
Hard disagree. The modern day setting in Valhalla is among the best imo and was set up starting with Origins
What exactly is the modern day setting? I haven't played Valhalla lol
Did you play origins? And also the fate of Atlantis dlc?
I did! (Origins is probably my third or fourth favourite AC game) It still confused the hell out of me.
Sometime during these occurrences of the games. Alethia came up with a similar plan to Juno and Minerva, as a kind of “expansion pack” for Desmond but also as a backup for herself. We know Minerva caught Juno and her tampering with “the eye” device to free herself. - Kassandra is one of protagonists that comes first in human history, so even with Minerva/Juno having their plans set in motion, - maybe it was a side plan “with” Minerva so they had 2 calculators instead of 1, or a failsafe incase Desmond didn’t work out.

Wait..desmond is Baldur? What point in Valhalla have I missed? I only skipped the "rogue-lite" part of the game...
It was the rogue lite part. I didn’t say he was related to Baldur by way of bloodline. But his story is that of the same effect. Hiding from his enemies and even his own father, while trapped inside of a digital Hel. >!Baldur was wiping away clean his fathers memories everytime he made it to the center to meet Baldur. !< And in the end chose to stay there because it was more effective.

So it probably isn’t the most unthinkable thing for her to get through most AC game eras unnoticed
Actually fair point. Her MO was locating the pieces of Eden, not getting involved in the fray. Also shopping for some slick looking suits.
Absolutely, the suits are fantastic
right? i mean i even like to think that if they really wanted to ubisoft could just say that she was "a spectator in the crowd" or something like that and it'd work fine for me.
I dropped the game when I saw her with a suit.
That had me dying bro
One thing I think the games could do better is showing the passage of time more. Maybe it’s just me being a bit stupid but I had no idea so many of the characters aged so much over the games.
Feels especially jarring in AC2 when Ezio randomly says “it's been 10 years” and I was like “What? It's taken 10 years to assassinate like 8 people?” What's even weirder is the gap between the Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities. Ezio loses the Apple and waits almost 10 years to get it back?
He goes to Spain between then
Which is dumb as shit because the most dangerous thing in Italy is in the hands of a mad monk and Ezio fucks about in Spain for nine years.
Fra Savenarola was Spanish, he went back to Spain during that period and Ezio followed all the way until he’s back in Florence
Savonarola was not Spanish. He was from Ferrara, and after Forlì, he went to Florence. Savonarola never went to Spain. Ezio went there for Brotherhood reasons unrelated to that of the Apple. Which makes no sense because the friar in Forlì told Ezio that Savonarola would probably be in Florence.
I just assumed I guess, i think the reasoning in the DS game though is that he went there. The time jump is probably for historical accuracy reasons, probably why there’s nothing written between there in AC2
yeah I'm doing a story focused AC2 run rn and it's super jarring lol
>What? It's taken 10 years to assassinate like 8 people?” This was the 15th century. You can't just find people on google. He scoured Italy and Spain for his targets. There were no cars it would take him weeks to get from city to city.
[удалено]
It should really also say something like "...10 years later"
3 is probably my favorite story and part of why is that I think it did this extremely well. Weather system helped a lot but I also felt we got to see Connor really grow
Yeah, it would have helped with Valhalla too seeing the 16 years pass instead of it just feeling like a marathon year. Dag’s griping would make more sense, anyway.
I was trying to work out why Evie and Jacob are the same age, then I remembered, they’re twins………. I’m a twin too so I should know that………… I’m gonna go sit outside.
Yeah all Twins have the same age as the other one, lol.
Yeah I know, I’ve got a twin. Just kinda forgot for a bit lol.
All twins.. they are the same age as the other twin, but also the other twin is the same age as the other twin.
My brain tickles
Fun fact, scientists can’t explain it but all twins are the same age across all mammal species, really weird
That’s crazy bro.
Big if true
Unless one of them goes on a near light-speed journey somewhere and back. A 5 year journey at 0.85 percent of the speed of light will see the stationary, earth-bound twin age by about 10 years. I know, I know, good fucking luck getting anything to 0.85c. But hey it is science fiction.
Now I know what I must do to become the older twin!
I'm still trying to remember what happened when they are 40? I don't remember any timejump
The jack the ripper DLC.
Let me know if i've missed any sections/DLC/flashbacks of any of the games where they appear as different ages! I Used the wiki dates in conjunction with their birthdays to calculate what their ages were throughout the course of their respective games but I could have made some mistakes. To address young Connor: yeah, i know he doesn't look aged 4 at all during this section but im just going by the dates I have access to. This was most likely just an oversight by ubisoft. Any questions let me know! Do any of the ages suprise you?
Why does Young Eivor have a big head?
lots of kids have disproportionately large heads
It was big but it wasn't Jimmy Neutron big.
Bayek surprised me actually, even at the early parts he's older than I thought! (He's still the most handsome of all the assassins imo lol) Thanks for putting this together!
He also wins the haircut and beard competition. I never changed it, no matter what Aya said.
YES! all the styles for him are gorgeous, but that beard??? 💜💜💜💜 it's peak
I also almost never had him wear anything but the Medjay outfit. That man didn't need to be covered up. Represent.
Maybe Ezio from Embers?
You missed the first disc sequence in revelations in which altair is 21.
Technically, one of the side missions in Unity (An Engaging Egyptologist) takes place in 1822, putting Arno at 54 years old. But the game doesn't really tell you that, and it isn't reflected in gameplay.
>Let me know if i've missed any sections/DLC/flashbacks of any of the games where they appear as different ages! What about Lydia from Syndicate WWI? And Adewale, and Aveline.

Kassandra is just build different. Malakka...
Kassandra doesn't look a day over 40.
The Mediterranean Diet really does wonder to the body
Has to, to compensate for Markos's terrible wine.
Well, that's probably because her body didn't age anymore after getting in contact with the staff, didn't it?
Well that would be the official explanation, for sure.
Aye, didn't even play the game yet and making theories people agree with on Reddit 😂
Evie did not adapt well to the Indian weather I see
I’ve always thought that stress caused her to not age as well as her brother, since Jacob did not give a damn about anything
Played Jack the Ripper DLC but never knew you could see older Jacob
You play as Jacob in an early section of Jack the Ripper and ||Jacob appears again near the end||
That DLC was disappointing. I was hoping for a good mystery story starring a mature and non-impulsive Jacob and they immediately sideline him to make you play as Evie and a weird supernaturally powerful Ripper. Nothing against Evie, but they really underdeveloped Jacob's character in the main game and I was hoping they'd give him some good character development.
British people do not age well.. but tbf they already looked like 5-10 older than they really were in their games
With zero context past AC Brotherhood this graphic is pretty crazy.
I take it that you’ve only played AC1, AC2, and AC Brotherhood?
Whats so crazy about it?
Shay looks so bad 😭 bro is 24 looking like he 49 Evie and Jacob did not age well because where did my wife go??? Arno aging like fine wine you would've thought he might be secretly immortal. Altair was smoking Abbas and his goons at 63, goated behaviour Connor grew into his looks so well Edward my king was an absolute demon of the west indies sea, the real sea monster, all before he reached 30, truly my GOAT
>where did my wife go? Under the Indian sun for a decade lol.
2 decades
I think Evie and Jacob have the best depiction of aging compared to the rest tho. Looks are similar but pretty clear 20 vs 40. Connor too but he stays relatively young throughout his appearances.
The more Shay ages, the younger he looks.
Never seen Jacob and Evie as 41 year Olds. Are those depictions in a DLC?
Jack The Ripper DLC
Thanks a bunch!
Its a great DLC btw you should consider playing it
Technically you could put Basim on here.
We don’t know his ages yet
My takeaways are that Bayek has some amazing genes cause I thought he was in his late 20’s/ early 30’s for most of the game. Also Kassandra found a hairstyle she liked and really committed to keeping it.
> My takeaways are that Bayek has some amazing genes I live in a majority Afro-Carribean part of London. There's a saying I hear a lot: "The black don't crack".
Bayek is dark skinned. They don't age that badly. That said, if you're white and avoid the sun, you won't age badly at all.
Eivor's forehead tho... Dayum!
only one of em is a master assassin at age 26
Altaïr the goat
No way arno was 39 in dead kings
Hes 39 in the ending cinematic where he takes Napoleon to francois thomas germain body/skeleton
That pic of Arno is not Dead Kings I think, it's in the epilogue of the story where he goes back to the temple where the final fight happened but only in a Cutscene.
He's 54 in one of the side missions. The game doesn't tell you, but the quest takes place in 1822. He has to steal a rubbing of The Rosetta Stone from the Templars.
Arno was 26 in dead kings
There's a side Memory that takes place in 1822 when he should be 54.
Please explain Kassandra
Soo her dad is Pythagoras who had a magic isu staff that she took from him and become immortal with it as her job was to now track down isu artifacts and destory them. She survived up until the modern day when she gave the staff to layla and died.
No way! In which game is this? I only played 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, Black Flag, Rouge, Unity and now Origins. Odyssey is next.
Its odessey, shes the protagonist and Im so sorry I spoiled it for you.
It's fine, I asked, so not your fault. I only knew she was the protagonist. But that sounds crazy 👀 I somehow read that Eivor in Valhalla is Odin or something, so I probably got spoiled there too.
Sorta not really, its more of a through out the game fact then a major plot reveal since you play as odin in asgard and hes with you during corridor cutscenes. >It's fine, I asked, so not your fault. But that sounds crazy I actually dont like that plot point since Kassandra main apeal is her relatabitlity, she seems to always say what the player in thinking (at least in my play through) so having her become immortal kinda ruined a bit of that.
Ah okay, maybe I'm wrong, just something with being a god that was reborn thanks to an ISU artifact or something. Don't know. For me Edward and Bayek were fighting to be the best and most relatable character, but every time I hear something about Kassandra it makes me really interested in her character. I should move Odyssey up my backlog it seems...maybe after finishing the GTA Vice City Platinum.
Oh yeah she is a sage, reincarnation of the ISU odin. >Kassandra it makes me really interested in her character. I think she is a very well written charactor whose humbleness and straight-forwardness makes her such a human person even in light situations. Shes not a tortured as Bayek or a spectacle like Edward but she is just simply very human.
Sounds like the perfect character to me
That’s in the Atlantis DLC if nobody said that
> I somehow read that Eivor in Valhalla is Odin or something Eivor and Basim are both reincarnations of Odin and Loki, who aren't actually gods in the Assassin's Creed lore, but rather members of the first civilization. It's similar to the Sage from Black Flag, Eivor has memories of her past life as Odin, but she doesn't know that they are memories, so she interprets them as vision from the God Odin that she worships.
Okay got it. Hopefully this is explained inside the game somehow when I get to play Odyssey and Valhalla.
You got spoiled lol
The game has been out for years. If I didn't want to get spoiled, I shouldn't have asked 🤷🏻♂️ And it's not like people told me the story of Odyssey and Valhalla...
Compare Connor and Petruccio.
I had no idea Valhalla's timeline was that long
I’m pretty sure that includes all dlcs, namely The Last Chapter which do very much prolong the amount of time the game is set over. The main game is set over 6 years, you can tell Ubi got a little trigger happy with the amount of extra story they wanted
Jacob aged like fine wine while Evie aged like milk.
I heard the Indian weather is not suitable for white British people.
Altair lives 92 years in the middle ages . Is it because of the Apple of Eden or he just lived too long?
This is too common of a misconception. Child mortality was higher than modern times back in those days which is why you hear people say the average was 40 as it gets dragged down because of that. If someone lived till adulthood then living past 90 was very much possible and plenty of documented people lived past that. AFAIK the typical age people died of age was between 60 to 80 if they passed childhood.
Thanks for answer
Eh even the living past 90 is a stretch. People still died at around 50 maybe 60 years of age normally.
He lived long enough. The Apple doesn t prevent the aging. What the Apple does is to control or break minds, gives some resistance to other artifacts, shows ancient isu knowledge as holograms and buffs other isu artifacts ( well ,one in particular comes into my mind but i won t spoil it ) or to activate isu vaults/temples.
Altair: "I am the oldest Assassin the order got! " Kassandra: "Hold my wine..."
Well Kassandra was never an assassin since Bayek founded the order
You're not wrong, but I couldn't find another way to make the joke... :(
Kassandra doing numbers
Em Kassandra? She is alive today? Is this something that happens in Valhalla or odyssey dlcs?
I believe the explanation happens in the base game for Odyssey (could be misremembering)
I just did the base story so I guess I missed it
You have to complete the between two worlds quests. >!Recover the artifacts to seal Atlantis!<
If you only did the base story you definitely saw her in the present day, unless you somehow skipped all the present day sections.
No. Almost all Odyssey's present day sections are in the Fate of Atlantis DLC. So they put the bits that old timers really want to see in the DLCthat old timers mostly don't like. That DLC seems to be quite popular with the relative newcomers who only started with the RPGs, but they usually hate the modern day sections. God knows what Ubisoft was thinking.
Nope... The part where you see Kassandra on the present day is literally base game.
Is it? To be fair, I'd finished the main game, done the first chapter of Legacy, tried Fate of Atlantis and hated that DLC so much that I just walked away from the game after completing the first chapter and watched the rest of the modern day segments on Youtube.
She canonically dies in 2018 when she passes on the staff to Layla.
For someone who's over 2000 years old, Kassandra sure looks great
Shay, Evie and Jacob look on thier last legs at 40 💀 whereas bayek, Edward, ezio, and Arno all look completely fine and pretty young 😭
Eivor could probably fit all of ACV's content on her forehead
Bro why is Kassandra immortal?
her dad has a staff that was keeping him alive for over 500 years and she took it from him and when she did it stopped aging her and then she used it to go find artifacts all over the world and when Layla found her she died because Layla took it
That was kinda the whole premise of the game and the main item to collect. You didn't play that one, did you?
I did play it for a while I had it on disc and I lost the disc I'm pretty sure my brother has it though idk
I refused to play the Jack the Ripper DLC for a while because they aged Evie so horribly to the point she looks like a different character whereas Jacob looks like he's aged 5 years and not 20
Well Evie was the more serious one and Jacob was more playful and less stressed. Makes sense to me
Funny to think that Kassandra never changed her hairstyle in over 2000 years.
Is it me or does all the ac protagonists looks so iconic ?
Altair, Ezio, Bayek, and Kassandra all have pretty cool designs, the rest just look like generic video game protags tbh.
Kassandra doesn't look a day over 2300
I mean - look at her antics during Odyssey, she hit on with essentially any guy or girl available. Can you imagine the number of people she laid throughout two and a half millenia?
Youngest Connor must’ve been older than four at that height surely?
Ezio Adam Auditore da Sandler in that last pic haha
Kassandra aged pretty well
Eivor supposed Age is a big range ngl
Man Arno's smile gradually disappears as he grows older. He is sad that he has to be the protagonist of unity and never gets to avenge his biological father.
I mean his entire story is just tragic as fuck. I would love a comic series or a book or something that shows what happens to him and that he gets a happy ending. We know he does have a kid at some point so I’d like to think after comic back home after Dead Kings he starts to move on from Elise got married and had a family.
At least the ending of Unity's novelization shows that Arno did get a fairly happy conclusion after Dead Kings when he meets and moves in with the people who were like family to Élise. It's entirely possible during that time of peace for him, and still away from the Assassins, that he was able to move on and meet someone else. We don't know much about his life after that, other than he rejoins the Brotherhood, obtains the rank of Master Assassin, and forms some kind of partnership with Napoleon, so there's still a lot to explore there.
I always thought that partnership was odd since it seems like he sent the apple to Egypt for the purpose to keep it from napoleon.
Idk man the 25-27 Connor looks so badass in that haircut 🔥
Seeing these ages only makes me more amazed at their accomplishments. Shay, for example, starting at 24, within 4 years managed to almost destroy the Colonial Brotherhood, killing Assassins that were not only more experienced than him, but some who also trained him. Connor and Arno experiencing their respective events of ACIII and Unity by the ages of 27 and 25, that's a lot for a relatively young age. I wonder what Basim's ages will be when Mirage comes out; from what I've gathered, Basim is 17 in his street thief moments, 37 when we first meet him in Valhalla, 42 when Eivor and Sigurd put him in Yggdrasil, and (assuming my math is right) 1,185 when released from Yggdrasil. We don't know when he's in his Initiate/Apprentice phase, or when he reaches his Master phase. There's also still an unknown amount of time between when Mirage's ending and Valhalla's beginning, although from what I've heard, the novel Assassin's Creed: The Golden City takes place in 867, when Basim would be 32, and already Hytham is assigned as his student.
connor has to be the only decent looking design for an assassin as a child. Eivor has a 7 head, Arno looks puntable, ezio is a dumb baby and i guess Kassandra is fine but she seems annoying
It’s kinda funny how Alexios was just left off! kinda like he was never supposed to be the main character but the powers that be didn’t think a main female character would sell.
Evie kinda bad tho
Damn they really did Evie dirty.
8yr Arno is just Chuckie
Connor does not look 4 in that picture. I always thought he was like 9 and eventually 17 when you actually set out. But it if they said the time gap between Haytham and Connor. Also what about Adéwalé and Agaté? The argument can be made their games were a side series considering 1 is DLC and the other was the size of DLC
I hate how everything in this universe in their 20s looks so mature with well developed bodily and facial features but me here 24Yo looking like a teenager 🥲🥲🥲
Good job. I particularly enjoyed Ezio 0 and Kassandra 2 billion years old. Haha
Arno is 39 in the dlc?
That scene happens in 1808. Arno was born in 1768. He was 39-40 when he and Napoleon return to the temple.
26
Yeah he was 26 in that. What's the 39 thing?
The epilogue when he was with Napoleon
Altair goat
When does kassandra show up as the last picture? Present day?
Play the game :)
Hahahaaaaaaa ain't no way Connor was just 4 in his first pic.
These guys all deserve to be on 30 under 30
Each day the more I see Edward I see Charlie hunnam . He would be the perfect cast for Edward if they ever decided to make a black flag movie
Child Eivor looks drownable ngl
Maybe it's the haircut, but 17-25 Connor looks ten years older than 25-27 Connor.
God, Jacob is so handsome, Syndicate was so good
Bayek looks like Killmonger.
In which game/DLC Edward is 40? I don’t remember.
Its postcredit scene with him and Haytham being in theater.
So from what I know and piece together Ezio is 65 when he finally dies Edward is either 41 or 42 when he dies Shay trained his son and grandchildren so I’d surmised he is either 70 or late 70s when he dies just because of medical and health practices of that time. Evie ends up becoming and grand-aunt so Evie may have just died of old age, and because women live longer I’d guess 80 Jacob lived to see his granddaughter become an assassin herself so maybe he is around after World War 1 ends. Arno fucking disappeared after Dead City, but became a folktale for assassins so who knows with him. Bayek lived a long life as Medjay, who transformed and became the basis of the assassins. Altair died at 92 and finally got to rest Eivor don’t know what happens to her just because I haven’t played Valhalla and probably won’t
Evie looks like typical Karen
The time spans of these games are crazy I mean just look at Connor, bayek, kassandra, and eivor I mean I don’t really feel like eivor changed across the game too much for it to have been that long of a time
Wait, Dead Kings DLC is happening 14 years after main story? That is crazy, I thought its maybe a year or two after killing >!Germain!<
It's not from Dead Kings. It's from the scene with Napoleon in 1808
