Assassin's Creed: 10 Times The Templars Were Right

10. George Monro's Genuine Longing For Better Livelihoods - Assassin's Creed Rogue

Assassin's Creed Rogue's General George Monro was a Templar unlike any other players had encountered before. A gifted general and close friend of Haytham Kenway, Monro was responsible for saving Shay Cormac when he was discovered adrift and unconscious, despite the fact that his fellow Templars urged him to leave him be.

Munro would also prove to be the guiding hand behind Shay's rise to the Templar's attention, updating Haytham with the young man's skills and informing him of his hopes that he might be turned to the Order.

There have been plenty of generals in the Assassin's Creed series that have been made out to either be ruthless cowards or brutal careerists, however Monro was portrayed as being the exact opposite to both of these. He's somewhat timid and silver-tongued, but remains a genuinely caring and empathetic individual towards his troops.

As a Templar, he believed himself to be a protector of the common man against an Assassin Order who didn't seem to care about the innocent lives they took in their pursuit of freedom.

Unlike the Assassins, he was able to look past someone's prior faults or choices, and went out of his way to ensure his troops with 'full bellies and warm clothing'.
