10. Connor Kenway
I know for a fact that Im not the only one out there who was growing bored of Ezio Auditore; dont get me wrong, he was a great character, but remember familiarity breeds contempt. Connor comes at exactly the right time. And what a fantastic character he is, at once both wise and restrained and unstoppably deadly in equal measure. Next to Ezio, Connor much more of a sober character and his quest isnt just one of personal vengeance but of benevolence, borne from a spiritual desire to preserve his village, which sits on sacred ground (although revenge is also added to the mix, of course). Ezio was fantastic for his own reasons, but as I play through AC III, I cant help but appreciate the sense of gravitas and mystique that Connor adds to the tried and tested recipe, which in my eyes the series has been lacking in previously. Ill have to reserve my judgement on whether or not Connor is the greatest AC protagonist so far I havent yet completed the single player campaign but from what Ive seen, hes certainly got the potential in spades. Well done Ubisoft on another home run!
