Assassin's Creed: Ranking All The Assassins From Worst To Best

8. Aveline De Grandpré

With Assassin's Creed: Liberation's Aveline de Grandpré, it's less about her abilities or arc being poor and more about just not seeing enough of her in action to rank as highly as her fellow Brotherhood members.

The daughter of a French merchant and an African slave, Aveline grew up experiencing the world's injustice firsthand and sought to combat it in whatever way she could. She was taught the ways of the Assassin Brotherhood by Agate, another former slave, and begins hunting down high profile Templars, under the command of the mysterious Company Manm in the New Orleans region.

Aveline's story is essentially what Connor's should have been in Assassin's Creed 3, and helps to make Liberation a far more solid entry into the franchise. Aveline recognises the hypocrisies and issues with the Brotherhood, helping to make her a far more relatable character than most in the series, and the way in which she deals with the betrayals from her master and her own stepmother really is a testament to the kind of character she truly is.

It really is a shame players didn't get to enjoy Aveline more during her time with the Brotherhood.
