Atheist's Creed
8 religious characters. Not that bad overall
All muslim ac protagonist weak in beleif
@@Theboredgod others too not only muslims
@@Theboredgod thats just west propaganda
@@ghostends yep
Correction, Ezio actually kept being a christian even after his knowledge of the Isu and the AoE. Not only he defends God when fighting Rodrigo Borgia during AC2 ending but the Brotherhood novel actually states he's a christian and anything in those novels that doesnt contradict the game is considered canon
Edit: It's fun to see so many atheists angry cuz I'm desperate to prove my religion true while thy're here in the responses desperate to prove a ficitonal video game character from the 1500s is atheist đ
I just played assassin's creed II and am playing ACB (I'm a noob so forgive me if I'm wrong) and he does not defend God, he just asks why he preaches religion if he knows(or more beleives it's false) I know little about the novels but considering they're icky on the canon it doesn't prove much. I think its well established so far that God(s) are not real in the AC universe but please correct me if I'm wrong on anything!
@@loglogic7557 I always thought that God does exist in the AC universe, He just hasn't done anything to show His existence
What does it actually say from the novels cuz I don't remember ever going to church in the 20 year storyline but I do remember robbing that one church Monterigioni
Ezio is both christian and atheist then HEHEHHE
@@loglogic7557 Pay attention to their talk
If I remember correctly, according to one of the Codex pages, Altair became agnostic not atheist. And Ezio never became atheist.
Maybe, but when he defeated Robert of Sable, he said "this has nothing to do with him, I'm just the better fighter" to King Richard, who replied "you may not believe in him, but he believed in you" to no objection, which indicates he is an atheist. Again, this is just assumption, he could be an agnostic, but more likely to be atheist
@@nomad1789 This doesnât mean exactly Altair was Atheist as none of both citations are proves. What King Richard would have meant was that Christ believed in Altair, yet muslims donât believe in Jesus being god
@@jblazko882 nah, God is one. And they don't say Jesus or Yahweh or Allah or whatever name of God they would, so God is the same. Moreover, his only explanation is "I'm just the better fighter", not "it's my God, not yours", prove that he's believing only himself. Beside, Altair burning Al Mualim's corpse shows how he doesn't believe in Islam whatsoever (even tho he really means to prevent Al Mualim's return). If any, that shall be either atheist or agnostic (more likely the former)
@@nomad1789 Altair not believing it was God's work but a matter of skill doesn't mean anything besides that. You remember Pulp Fiction? Jules was declaring that it was a miracle, Vega was skeptical about that one event... it doesn't mean he's an atheist or agnostic. Just that he doesn't believe in specific case of divine intervention... However, Altair, most likely IS atheistic in the end, as during Assassin's Creed 2 you collect codex pages and you see him being dismissive of all religions and being really scared of death, after which he doesn't believe in any continuation. He is also not shown being religious at any point, ESPECIALLY compared to very Catholic Ezio, delivering a requiem in Latin for his victims.
I can also point that for all his desire for knowledge, Altair didn't get it all until he died. Only Ezio gets that there's something more beyond what we see in Revelations, as he recognizes the player existing, and accepts our inability to know things beyond our understanding. It was very creepy and I loved it. I need to finish relaying AC2 and read the entirety of Altair's breakdown. Needs all codex pages but I stopped playing a year ago, coulnd't stand Venice fireworks counting last hours until 4:45, and hearing real explosions outside my window.
Anyway, remember the first game was released during Iraq war so a practicing Muslim would be risky for a playable character, I don't believe outside of France they would even dare to make a setting with Saracens as the good guys, though Crusaders are shown respectfully too, in Richard's case. They kept Altair's religion vague () to avoid any possible backlash from either side. AC2 onwards are braver games, as in, they're more open about characters convictions. I think Altair goes from Muslim (how he was brought up) to agnostic (events of AC1) to atheist (his later years by codex).
Now Bayek is another thing entirely, deeply religious pagan-polytheist, to the point he justifies hate crimes against Atenian heretics that didn't worship multiple gods.
@@KasumiRINA I guess, can't really shows considering this game's catchphrase "nothing is true, everything is permitted" would goes along with this statement. We can't be sure of what was really true there, but we can just assume and every assumption is permitted
altaĂŻr was a citizen of the nizari state of assassins. it was located in a small part of the region that was colloquially known as âsyriaâ, but the syrian state was not established until the 20th century.
ezio was florentine. italian unification did not happen until the mid 1800s.
connorâs nationality is iroquois, not american. connor being indigenous meant he never wouldâve been granted U.S. citizenship.
adĂ©walĂ© wouldâve been considered spanish because trinidad was a colony of the spanish empire (although itâs more likely that, because he was black and a former slave, he wouldâve had no nationality)
shay was born in british new york and was an english citizen. his irish accent was due to his immigrant parentage and, as far as we know, he never visited ireland.
although ancient greeks were united by their common language and beliefs, greece was not unified until it was conquered by philip II and ruled by alexander the great. therefore, kassandraâs nationality was spartan.
basim lived in the abbasid caliphate. iraq didnât become its own country until the 1900s.
True
Very knowledgeable. Thanks
You just blew my mind! đ€Ż
Also when Connor was born America was colony wouldnt have been called United States at that point. And on a very pedantic note, If you are going to have Wales for Edward you should have the Frye twins As English, Wales was part of the UK when Edward was born.
@@robertjohnson592 technically the UK did not exist when edward was born, it was still called great britain -and the english never successfully conquered wales, tho they tried multiple times.-
edit: british history is confusing, turns out they did annex wales so edward would be considered british
Actually, according to the Abstergo Employee Handbook, Arno was religious until the events of the game kept testing his faith đ©
That's actually kind of sad
@@PlutoOuttaHere.
That book has a very sad story for its first character Robert Fraser. Before the Initiates/Assassins got their hands on Arno's memories in AC Unity, Robert Fraser was tasked by Abstergo Entertainment to sequence them, and he ended up developing an absolutely terrible case of the bleeding effect. His notes and drawings of Arno's memories turned to obsessions, with him going so far as to break up with his own girlfriend because she wasn't Ălise, as well as having written conversations between himself and the memories of Arno he's experienced. If I remember correctly, I think Robert was implied to be killed by Abstergo after being manipulated by the Assassins to give them Arno's genetic memories and to destroy his own work for Abstergo?
@@SlowWinterNuts wait so is this book about Arno or the employee Robert
@@PlutoOuttaHere.
It's about Arno, Robert, and an unnamed Templar agent. It's meant to be an employee handbook given to Robert, and then later given to the Templar agent for analysis; So you can see notes from both Robert and the agent written over the handbook. Imo it's a really neat way of telling a story.
@@SlowWinterNuts yeah what's it's called
Basim is definitely a Muslim, there is dialogue during the main quest when Basim is discussing religion with a catholic priest he is asked why he does not drink and in his words he did not wish to "stain his immortal soul".
I'm pretty sure not only Muslims dont drink. Lots of different religions does that for different reasons
That's just an easter egg referring to Loki.
@@izzdanial4323 if basim was any religion, itâs Islam because of where he is from. Even if other o religions donât drink, he definitely is from an Islamic family and upbringing, he said his father even built a mosque/masjid
@UCys07HQTykcWMeQdifK3l3A wdym? Bro.. Assassins word started from the land of Muslims (Arabia) it was hashashin at first. The Muslims were the first to give birth to the term Assasins and were the first assassins themselves. Look it up.
@@MadristaSisam Islam doesnt teach to be assassins. Only warriors. And his father's religion and birthplace doesnt justify anything
Ezio stayed a based christian even after finding out about the isu
Based
based
Genuine question man, what does âbasedâ mean? đ I still donât get It
I don't see why anyone would instantly convert to atheist even after this knowledge.
Isu's existence doesn't negate the existence of a God at all, it just means there was another species we weren't aware of, but they definetely were made by somebody else.
The only contradiction is it was the Isu that created humanity, not God, but God created the Isu.
Best way to see it from a christian perspective.
@@gab-bj9wf based is an internet term used when someone stays true to himself and expressing what he believes in regardless of how the general public sees it (like for example if you say prostitution is bad or for degenerates, not caring for otherâs opinion on the subject) then you are based for saying what is true. You can understand it as the opposite of cringe or the same meaning as saying to someone that heâs a gigachad
This guy made everyone an Atheist with no proof or backing... I'm dead lmao. The only one actually clearly Atheist was Arno. Most of the rest were either Muslim or Christian.
Ikr đ€Ł because the Author is an atheist trying to shove down something that is absolutely not in the game or story
Dont care about this shit lets just enjoy this franchise
I mean considering most of them learn that humans are nothing but a slave race built by ancient beings who managed to survive the apocalypse and the gods they worship are based on objects from this ancient race I think itâs safe to say that would make you a bit sus about your god
@@vasimbelim let people care about what they wanna care my boy itâs not upto u to decide that
@@jackj9816 fair but wouldnât that mean they had to come from someone? Especially with all the super natural stuff going on youâd think most of them wouldnât be atheist đ
The idea of Ezio being Italien doesnt really make sense when you realise that the nation of Italy wasnt a thing until the 1800s.
Ezio would certainly never refer to himself as an Italien but instead he would call himself âTuscanâ because he was born in Florence.
Edit: I do realise that the idea of an Italian nationstate existed since ancient times. I was only making the point that Ezio was not an âItalianâ as an Italian is a national of the nation of Italy.

@@guywhosnamestartswithz2520 So Im a nerd? Well, it a game about history (among other things) so to play it you almost have to have to know something about history and such.
@@neutralbychoice3584 you have my respect.
same applies to a few of them, as the lands they were born in had different names and borders back then. Altaïr is from the Nizari state, Basim from the Abbasid Caliphate, Bayek and Aya from the Ptolemaic kingdom, Kassandra is from Sparta. But i guess the video goes by what those lands are known today. Which would make Avéline american as she was born in Louisiana which was then french but is now part of the US
@@qwertyno100 exactly. This video has so many faults, though i will say that Bayek and Aya being from Egypt is still accurate. Many if not most people would have called the land âEgyptâ and not âthe Ptolemaic Kingdomâ.
Jacob is actually a Christian, he did do the cross sign when someone asked him something early in the story.
Jacob isn't a Christian, and he did that in a half serious way, while teasing his sister. Ridiculous.
Aya is actually part Greek, since she is related to Kassandra, and she might believe to the Greek gods. When Phoxidas insults poseidon in a mission, she reacts negatively.
Greece and Egypt shared a god between their respective myths named Serapis.
@@stephenking5852 I know, this was a genius way to unite two completely different civilizations.
@@stephenking5852 Greek god Hades is similar to Indian god Shiva and Japanese god Daikoku.
There was a syncretism between the Olympian and Egyptian Pantheon quite often in history, especially during the Hellenistic era!!
She believe her teos
Basim will be an interesting story on his religion. Because Basim is a sage that knows of his past life as Loki. So we may find out who the Isu worshipped. Eivor was a sage too but they didn't know about the Isu life until far later in the game
Basim is a shia ismail muslim
@@pussyslayer1237 In the human world yes. But at some point during the game Loki takes over his mind so will give us more view on the Norwegian division on the Isu and who they worshipped
@pussyslayer123 and the Abbasids did hunt down Shias, so I'm curious how this will be portrayed in the game, if its even mentioned at all
@@oryxthetakenking8275 donât you realise yet itâs just a game donât compare it with any religion.
@@oryxthetakenking8275 they wonât put religious beliefs in the franchise and they never did I donât know from yâall got the thing about religions it is just a game Ac1 didnât mentioned any type of religions but yeah from the atmosphere to the peopleâs custom we can say it was Islam but in the game they never mentioned religions neither in the Mirage they will not mention any religion..
Both Aveline and Shay wouldâve been considered American by todayâs standards, neither of them were born in France or Ireland. Aveline only has a French accent because Louisiana (where she was born) was part of the French Empire at the time, and Shay is from New York but has an Irish accent because his parents were immigrants.
If Louisiana was apart of the French Empire wouldn't that mean she was French?
@@DANtheMANofSIPA Yes, if the video was showing what these characters are based on the standards of their time period but itâs only going by modern standards, and by modern standards sheâd be American.
@@DANtheMANofSIPA the video doesnât make sense. Half of these countries werenât even countries when the characters lived there. Nationality is bullshit
but during those times Americans identified as British subjects and the Irish also saw themselves as British as they came from the British Isle
@@gamerstheater1187 I know, that would work if this video was being historically accurate, but itâs not, itâs only showing what everyone is by modern standards. So at the very least itâs best to be consistent.

@@vali4real Well that's an interesting mix, I just hope your blo'od cells don't go to war with eachother xD

Hello.
To be more precise :
Altair was a subject of the Abbasid Caliphate, capital city Bagdad in modern day Irak, in the XIIth century.
Enzio was a citizen of the Granduchy of Toscany.
Connor is born as British subject of New England colonies, he became US citizen only after the indépendance.
Edward Kenway is born after the Act of Union, so he was British, not welsh.
Adewale was living in the Spanish empire, Trinidad became British later in 1797 before the indépendance in 1962.
Bayek was a subject of the Ptolemaic Egypt, so the flag is wrong
Kassandra/Alexio was an Ancient Greek, the very concept of nationality was inexistant and the land politically divided into city-states, so Spartiate
Ancient Greece.
Norse pagan religion has a name : AsatrĂč ! And the kingdom of Norway had a different flag
You are absolutely correct, but I think the video was intending on modern day borders. But never less you are right about the nationalities
"British" is not a nationality. It's English, Welsh, or scottish. Living on an island is not a nationality.
Connor was actually born outside the colonies in a Mohawk village of the Haudsaunee confederacy.
altair was born in Masyaf Syria and died there to
@@nope1959 there is no english welsh or Scottish nationality the only two states on the british isles are UK and ireland both of them with their respective nationalities british and irish ya dingus
Bayek is the most based of the assassin's ngl
Not my #1 favorite AC, but there's always a special place in my heart for Bayek. I'll bet his voice actor is partially responsible for that. I fangirled when I saw him as part of a YT gaming group. (I think it was Vampire: The Masquerade)
But in real life, Hasyasyin (in arabic) or Assassin was made in iran (the creator was hasan al sabah), They are Shi'a bathiniyah sect
Me and ADEWALE are the same Iâm Trinidadian too đčđč
If you are both blacks from the same country, it does not mean that you are the same.

â@@INCOGNITO-xw4pblost all my freaking brain cells reading this oh my god
â@@Ocondedosenigimassorry for yourself kid
I'm not sure, but being religious isn't the same as having a religion by name. Some of the assassin might be atheist in practice, but not by association.
Problem is, by association as if you say formality (like for census) doesn't really exist back there, and people aren't concerning about it (aside from crusades, which none of them really did even tho Altair did intervene in the Third Crusades and Ezio with the papacy). So, it's up for the people whether to believe it or not, and I say none of these assassins even have citizenship, considering they're all consisted of killing machine (Altair), dethroned prince (Ezio), tribesmen whose tribe isn't even recognized (Connor), criminal (Edward, Evie, Jacob), slave (Adewale) and orphan (Arno), all of whom are deemed outcasts in addition to their affiliation with the assassins, which makes me doubt they were even given citizenship, if ever existed. Therefore, religious affiliation didn't really matter aside from what they believe in
True like Iâm technically Catholic but I consider myself Agnostic
In reality Muslim can't be atheist easily but in game every Muslim become atheist đ
ex muslims are mainly brain-dead .
ubisoft ceo are insecure atheist, but love Muslim countries.. đ
â@Sherry haytham how many rakaat in surah wudhu?
Millions of muslims in Iran and Turkey become atheist last 10 years, get over it bro
@Sherry haytham oh really, can you tell me the aqeedahs of Islam?
Actually Evie and Jacob are welsh as well, it is literally stated in the game files, that their ancestors (parents) are from there.
Their parents, yes. But not them
Ye they were born in England tho and lived there. Thatâs why shay should be technically english
I thought they were from cork for some reason
@@m.r4841 you are what your parents are. Your folk stays your folk
Here we go anything so they can't be English right?
Interesting video but I noticed that the Protagonists from the Assassin's Creed Chronicles game were missing. I mean that games protagonists are Shao Jun (Nationality: China), Arbaaz Mir (Nationality: India) and Nikolai Orelov (Nationality: Russia).
Same feeling
The name of the Russian assassin is Nikolai Orlov.
Fun fact: his surname consists of the word "ĐŸŃŃĐ»"(oryol), which in Russian means "eagle"
@@PskovCybercat In serbo-croatian it is "orao".
Respect for Ezio
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the characters compared visually since I am not familiar with all of the games and almost laughed at it turning into Skyrim at the end there
Almost every slide was completely wrong tho so donât take this is legitimate.
Kassandra had all the time to become an atheist.
Biak might not actually be the most religious. At the beginning hell ya, the dude was prity much a wondering warrior monk as a job. But as later events in his life shows he could instantly pick up on things being real or not and didnât actually have that much faith in the gods if anything more then an opreciation of the faith/practices.
I think Biak might actually be Unitarian. Heâs a believer but lacks actual faith in the religion as he chooses what he believes in. Thus heâs still part of the faith just on the outside looking towards the horizon
In the final dlc, he goes about calling Akhenaten the heretical Pharaoh and still seems to believe in his gods, but sort of sees them as possible alien-like figures.
Also he robs Tombs knowing that he will go to hell for it so that says something lol
Bayek literally goes on a jihad against the heretics of Aten's religion and even _follows them into afterlife_ in Curse of the Pharaohs... I don't think he can deny Field of Reeds and The Duat existing because HE WAS THERE. Literally. Denied a guy afterlife by destroying his heart and all. Egyptian religion is real in Origins. Bayek is devout and it's ridiculous claiming he somehow doubts the snake, which skeleton he's climbed, didn't exist. It was vague with shaman before but not in the end. Game went full mythology acceptance and gods are as real in AC as they are in Marvel.
I actually love that you got Edwardâs nationality correct. Thank you đŽó §ó ąó ·ó Źó łó ż

Lol she looks Egyptian more than my mother, is that how a greek woman looks like ????

@@shepard4245 Aya was the descendant of Kassandra (AC Odyssey's canon protagonist), so i'm guessing somewhere along the line, one or few of Kassandra's descendant relocates to Egypt and had childrens with the local, which is probably why Aya looks like a full blooded Egyptian (i mean, there's 400 years gap between AC Odyssey and Origin, i'm actually surprised Aya still considered herself as a Greek tbh)
@@shepard4245 in one of the stone circles mission, Bayek tells Khemu that Aya is Greek and that he (Khemu) is half Greek and half Egyptian.
It was also interesting to see the de facto nationalities without anachronism, there are countries that no longer exist.
Bro make a video on Connor vs Shay vs Arno
So , mostly Assassin's are Catholic and after the knowledge of isu they become atheist, interesting đ€đ€
In the assassin's creed lore and World there is no God only the isu so In their world thr Atheists are right
Just like in this, u are a animal just like other as a monkey or a dog, u have no soul
Not interesting at all, it's just how this world is built
According to the assassin's creed brotherhood novel, Ezio remained a believer even after the visions with the Isu
Ezio was the only confirmed Catholic turned Atheist
Both eivor and basim at the end of the game would not have to believe in gods, they are the "gods" even if they are not real gods, if not isu, the other humans consider them gods.
Nope, in the end of ac2 we talk with isu and they say they are not "god"
hm yeah but isu are not gods as they said, the real question in AC is who created ISU
Bagdhad very beatfulâ€
I love that armor you are wearing in Valhalla, which one is it?
Kassandra, was religious person, until she met her real father and later incidents. Since she is the longest lived person, due to that she knew the reality and lot (since isu to 21st century). In another way she is like super-library of assassin's creed world.
She could've been an agnostic, since she refuses to favor anything (which is agnostic way, of neither believing nor disbelieving over something). She may start an on-and-off in believing over one absolute power, until eventually deciding to say "I don't know" upon her beliefs, and died being herself only (no religious affiliation whatsoever). Therefore, agnostic fits the best for her belief (which can reason why the game decided it's up to the player for her faith)
@@nomad1789I played as Alexios and I think that to. I notice when he goes to places he sounds like he believes in the gods, but he also thinks people are foolish when they thank the gods for everything saying that itâs people who make there own fate
I think canonically Kassandra never really believed in gods, remember she witnessed her brother tossed into a cliff because an oracle (prophet of the gods) told Nikolaos to do so... even in-game Kassandra only "acted" to be a religious person to get on a certain people's good side rather than genuinly believing in those gods herself
Did I miss a huge part of the game...? ^^' I mean it probably depends on how u define the word "god", but as I recall it, the Isu were the ones who literally created humanity. beside their other abilities, a lot of them were actually seen as gods by humans (like those from Greek/Norse/etc. mythology). that probably due to the fact that humanity was just not fully able to comprehend the entire nature of the Isu and the extent of their powers. but to me it's hairsplitting, whether u call Isu "gods" or just an "advanced species" - their powers exceed human's understanding and own abilities and can therefore be seen as at least godlike.
They were the first civilisation the ones taken as âgodsâ I believe are the surviving ines and I believe like the âgodsâ Odin and Zeus are the same Isi just different interpretation from the different humans and as a Muslim (Nkt being biased) by I think there is a god since assassinâs creed or based on the hashasgins who are muskim and thereâs different things in why I believe Allah/God exists in assassins creed and why Nkt all characters are atheist
Thank for those information
Aya was not Egyptian by birth, today I completed a mission in which khemu(their son) was asking how an egyptian(bayek) married a Greek woman
I played that mission and it wasn't there
She was born in Egypt, in Alexandria
She was mixed, and probably means identified as culturally Greek. A lot of mixed marriages at the time, mostly Greek men and Egyptian women tho.
It's kind of ironic how some assassin's were Christian and became athiest after discovering the apple of Eden even the the apple comes from the bible.
not really, it was an unnamed fruit that was from a tree in the garden of eden, most just assume it was an apple. I guess apples are just the most popular fruit
same could be said for the Muslim ones because the story of the Garden of Eden is almost identical in both religions' holy books.
@@thebenzaga the myth of the apple and the one use in the game came from the bible
@@malheia yea, I am pretty sure where Islam and Christianity begin to separate is in the telling of the the story of Abraham, where Muslims believe that Ishmael, his first son, albeit not with his wife, is the rightful line through which the chosen people came, while Christians believe it was Isaac, his second son who was had with his wife. Something along those lines.
@@joebejjani3579 yes, but I was just saying that it was not an apple in the Bible, but an unnamed fruit. But yes the story comes from the Bible.

or we fight on the side of the spaniards like all the oppressed peoples of the aztecs did
@@ash.bl.9289 nothing like stoping some human sacrifice

That would be extremely based
I am playing Valhalla right now and i can confirm Basim is actually atheist calling himself a heretic.
It could be that this is because he is Muslim. Because apparantly in one conversation he says to a Christian priest that he doesn't drink alcohol as to not "stain his immortal soul". But I don't know. After what Basim has experienced it would surprise me if he was still a Muslim. But as for herecy, anything that wasn't Catholic Christian at the time was considered herecy
I'm really glad that people in the comments saved the day from the sheer ignorance of the OP. None of the assassins stated their religious beliefs. And most of them didn't even talk about it, but you kept assuming that they're atheists just because you thought it'd sound better.
Btw, the real life assassins upon which the franchise was based were all Muslims.
Exactly, western propaganda stinks with this video lol. Oh well these are ficitonal charcthers the real ones were all muslim basically
@@glandmajor5430 At no point was there any Western propaganda, and I'd actually say this franchise works better as propaganda for you to use against us because the sworn enemy of the Assassins are a Catholic based institution.
@@brad5426 more like elitists disguised as Catholics. The franchise never looked down upon Christianity as a religion. Wasn't Maria Thorpe the wife of the protagonist "Altair" in the first installment of the franchise a Christian!??
@@ahmedsultani3028 You would protest if they made Islam look the same way, always ran by corrupt elitists making constantly evil decisions. This is how Catholicism is shown in nearly every AC game. Ubisoft aren't looking down on Catholics, actually they're trying to make a compelling story, but it can absolutely be said Assassins Creed is not Western propaganda for this reason.
What does Maria have to do with this?
Shay is a part of a religion he made called "L.U.C.K"
Nice vid!
Actually I thought that Aya was Greek. In one of the dialogs of Bayek with his son, while he was watching the stars, he told him that he is a result of love of an Egyptian and Greek. I know that Aya (Amunet) was remembered by creed as an Egyptian woman, but is it really true? Just wanna hear you opinionâșïž
She is greek, bayek says that but you already witnessed that
Aya is descended from Kassandra.
If she is a mix, she isn't Greek.
she was pure spartan greek till ayas dad had a child with a egpytian
Didnt Aveline believe in voodoo? She also said "venerated one" to the voodoo witch doctor making me think she followed his teachings
Descendents of african slaves used to keep practicing their ancient religion under the disguise of catholicism, probably Aveline and Ade were one of em. Ade's name is a yoruba name btw, and yorubas had their own religion that it's practiced today in caribbean countries, even if sometimes disguised as catholicism, like they did with "santeria". So in paper she would be very well "catholic"
What African American during the 1800s didn't? (Did that sound racist?)
@@wolfman-vt2zr oy disguised as catholic. But mixed with catholic
@@wolfman-vt2zr lmao cowards
A slight correction to Altair. He was born in the Levantine Naziri Ismaili State. Syria didnât exist yet.
Also Isnât Basim technically a precursor being and Basim is just his current form?
He was a normal person with his own life before his memories woke up and Mirage is presumably going to cover that.
Iâd assume Arno was Catholic till he became atheist. France was a strong catholic country till the late 1800s
In fact, the Assassins were in Iran during the Samanid period, and we don't even have an Iranian Assassin. And their real name is Hashashin.
From Assasin Creed, we learn history, geography, civilization and beautiful culture in past. The founder Assasin Creed, group of organization and bloodline. Experience past time as player in video game storyline is worth. Thank you this Ubisoft and this channel.

We don't learn history đ. I mean yeah to an extent.
Nice video mate
Thanks!
Tell us about the characters from the chronicles series or main protagonist
The concept on "nationality" is pretty new. To say that Ezio was italian because he was born in Italy is wrong: he did not recognise himself as such and his culture was not "italian". He was Florentine, from the Serenissima Repubblica di Firenze, that's it.
Nationality is a concept born more or less around the second half of the 17th century and fully developed around the first half of the 19th century.
Italia was a concept, and there was a word for people from the Italian Penisula.
@@badconnection4383 Yes but there was no concept of Italy as a Nation.
@@simpleconcept3698 wrong. I read machiavelli. And the man can't shut up about how Italy needs to united
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Not historically correct. Even though Machiavelli considered the idea of a united Italy, it was mostly a thought Machiavelli himself never explored in its entirety. The nationalist movements in the 19th were something different, something in which even the masses were involved. A nobleman in 1500 talking abstractly about unification cannot bring to the conclusion that nationalism was a thing even before the 19th century. There was no concept of nation, at least not as we intend it today. A greek from Sparta might have considered himself as part of the greek heritage, but he had no loyalty towards "Greece": there was no Greece at the time. He lived in Sparta and was a spartan, therefore his loyalty was towards Sparta alone. There were times where Greek cities fought together against common enemies (like Persia), but it was no nationalism that pushed the soldiers foward, It was mostly necessity and a sentiment of "brotherhood" between greek cities.
@@simpleconcept3698 there was literally a Greek/Hellenic identity and they had special rights different from non-Greeks all over ancient Greece and out of it. If you were a Greek in Libya, Cyrene, you would be allowed into a gymnasium... if you were Egyptian or Persian, you would not. Some cavalry units were Persian culturally, and you had to identify as a Persian to serve there. They had concept of nationality all right, it wasn't tied to STATE though. And later, in Italy, come on, they are speaking Italian language, of course they had a concept of Italy being a thing, even if it was multiple states smh. By your logic Czech nation wouldn't be a thing until 1991 and Syrians won't exist despite, you know, being one of most ancient people still around. Nations did not always equal countries.
Puts the welsh flag for edward then puts the uk flag for frye twins just use the english flag
Fuck that Edward deserves his dragon
The first three parts were great, the 4th was ok. I'm happy I didn't waste much time on the other parts.
The creator of the video clearly made it so that the nationalities are compatible with current borders, no need for correction and arguments, enjoy the video everyone!
I am protestant too like kenway:))
You missed Haytham. But I think Haytham probably didnât care for religion judging by his character.
That would mean that Ezio, Connor, Edward etc were Muslims because they were assassins. The templars and assassin's ingame have been secularized and don't share the religious nature of their real world counterparts.
â@@bakrahabibi5471What comment are you even replying to? No one here mentioned Connor or Ezio.
@@Full_Otto my reply was to a comment which has since been deleted
I mean they could show a very impactful story and they could feature some character like post world war two or pre world war 1 or you know the time when they get immigrate from philistine
When you align the twin brothers constelation in Origins Bayek and Khemu's dialogue says Aya is Greek
Fun fact: Aveline is a French descendent but her nationality is American.Her father was a French settler in New Orleans and her mother was a african slave having a French name.
And,Altair was born to a muslim father(who was also an assassin) and a Christian mother ,so he know about both.
Aveline is still French since New Orleans was a part of France
@@m.r4841 At her time,New Orleans was taken over by Spain from French
@@athulpaul1073 Where did you get that from?
@@m.r4841 from the game,after going to the Bayou for the first time,when she comes back to the city,its taken over by spanish

The Great Assassins are Iranian and their commander's name was Hasan Saqa. They were born in Iran and died in Iran in the war with the Mongols. Their castle in Iran is in the city of Qazvin, and their original name is Hashashion has been
His name was hassan sabbah not saqa
Hasan is arab and most of his men to stop stealing history
And they were Muslim.
@@evloghmenosxxx4035 they killed Muslims
@@evloghmenosxxx4035 Who gives a fuâŹk about their religion? Do you always have to point out the religion of your pedo prophet?
I am actually so proud altair is syrian because i am too, and i already know what im going to name my 2 children, its going to be altair and ezio, and I am going to teach them brotherhood
proud of that people? those drug addicts were enemy of everyone even the ((()))
Actually Desmonds nationality changes. I dont know if it is the country you play the games in or the language. Proof of that is when playing brotherhood. I (german) played the last mission (when you enter that secret tunnel or something) and before Desmond said the password he asked if it understands german.
How to be an assassin, just be atheist
@tyty20 left wing or right wing libertarian?
You should know how to use weapons
@@anti-naturevegan I think either one works. the creed is more of a libertarianish ideology fighting authoritarians.
The creed isnât actually restrictive about those topics, the ideology itself dictates that one should follow their own path and make their own conclusions, having faith in a certain religion is permitted as long as the person follows the creed, AltaĂŻr himself defended Islam and Christianity.
Real assasins were muslim shias
Bayek is the most honorable assassin! Very stoic.
What is the Eden apple ? And how does effect their beliefs ?
Technically Eivor at the end knows that the god in their head is not real but still in fact believes the gods are real. Again depending on how you play.
you made a huge mistake! how can forget about Haytham Kenway a devout Christian. Templar.
So there's an English, Irish and Welsh assassin but we still don't have any Scottish assassins... shocking
yo the sheep fucker assasin
Where did you get that information from and what about Haytham and the Protagonists from these 2D games? India, Russia and China I think.
I hope they do an assassin's creed character from sweden we some big history two
@@theknight8560 Carolean Sweden 1700s, perhaps king Karl must be protected from templars who try to have him killed, perhaps he could be a member of the creed, there's lots of Swedish history
Arno (i still strugglle to write it we are used to write it Arnaud) is a French noble and in the files of Abstergo it is said that he used to be religious so he was a christian catholic at least at the start of the game.
Well, at least that name isn't butchered in the Witcher 3 DLC, Blood and Wine. They spell it correctly in the subtitles.
Iâm pretty sure they had religions but didnât follow it as assassins had their own creed

I'd love to see an India based character & how religious it is developed by the story writers.
There already is, assassins creed chronicles : india based on the graphic novel assassins creed 'brahmaan'. Set in india during the britishers and a maharajas empire of that time showcasing indian assassin 'arbaaz mir ' . The story revolves a piece of eden in india and the koh i nur diamond.
@@zainfarooqi3611 thanks. I'll see it.
Altairs and Ezios full name sound badass to me
Cool
I donât think an Assassin being religious makes much sense. Even without the whole Isu thing pretty much proving that all gods are.. letâs say âoverratedâ, the Creed specifically encourages its followers to constantly put their worldview and their belief system into question. To always be as open minded as possible, to never assume that the truth is a given absolute. This doesnât mix very well with the kind of devotion required by religion. The Creedâs essential meaning is literally âBeware everyone who asks you to believe without question, and remember youâll always be responsible for what you choose to do.â
@@dragonhale2026 Ubisoft butchered the translation of the creed the actual translation is Nothing is an absolute reality, everything is possible in arabic it has a deeper meaning and many interpretation none of them means nothing is true all is permitted the correct translation makes more sense
Isn't it the other way around? How can you be open-minded about things if you're an atheist who explicitly denies anything supernatural existing in the first place? For example, atheists believe pagan gods like Juno or Jupiter didn't exist... WE TALK TO THEM IN GAMES. We also visit Duat and Field of Reeds, Egyptian afterlife. There's so much supernatual stuff happening that I don't understand how writers can justify characters being atheists at any point.
Then that would make all assassins skeptics and not atheists/agnostics
Haytham should be included. I really enjoyed playing a Templar for a bitđ
Thank you.
I havenât finished Valhalla but i think itâs weird that eivor stops believing in gods even though he is a resurrection of one (if someone could explain that would be cool)
I wouldn't go so far as to say Ezio stopped being a Christian. There wasn't much really confirming that he didn't believe in God, and there are certain moments that would imply he still believes in God. His issues have more to do with the Church as an earthly institution, which is very fair for the 15th and 16th centuries.
If anything, he's probably lapsed Catholic. I mean, it's pretty difficult to avoid excommunication after his tustle with Pope Alexander VI.
As for the Frye twins, they never tackle religion in that game, so they would be pure speculation. My guess is that Jacob was probably Agnostic or more like Edward, while Evie strikes me as a Protestant of some kind.
must be the rat type of protestant
hey thats... both words mean the same LOL
Ubisoft Logic
Let's make it a believer at the beginning and an atheist at the end.
I've always found it confusing when the characters that find out the truth of the past in these games keep there fath
Mainly because it doesnât disprove there is a god. With all the supernatural stuff it would actually make sense
Many of those countries did not exist at the time the characters' stories occurred. You should do this more properly
I'm kinda surprised there aren't any assassin's that are antithiest.
Shay was actually born in New York. Unfortunately, he was born in New York. Haha. Come at me New Yorkers
All these assassin's left their religion the minute they joined creed.
But Aveline was born in New Orleans, U.S.
Back then Louisiana is still part of the French Empire
@@ifoundpeaceindrowning8030 And aveline is a creole, meaning she wouldnât be considered a nationality, just a blood quantum. She isnât French, just of French descent.
@@omartistry That's not true. They still had a nationality. In this case she's still French.
I reckon having an Assassin creed based in Asia in countries like India or later Bangladesh would be a great story. They can make story where the British came and colonised India. Oh what a game that would be.
A fully developed and open-world AC set in India would be a dream come true for me. But I feel like the British Raj period is a little overused in both films and literature. I'd rather like a story set between the 17th and 18th century, during the Mughal-Maratha wars. It would be cool to see the Templars operating in secret as members of both empires, or even Rajputs and other Indian kingdoms, while the Assassins travel the whole subcontinent to stop their plans. Also, the truth of Hindu gods being ISU and playing a role in the story could be even more fascinating. The British could still play a role, as they began settling in Eastern India during that time, but not a predominant one.
Aya is Greek, in one of AC origins side missions (one of the stone circles) it is revealed that Aya is Greek and Bayek calls his son Khemu half Egyptian and half Greek
And what with Haytham Kenway and Lydia Frye?
