Updated on July 12, 2024, by Dennis Moiseyev: This article hasn't been revisited in a while, so we had to emerge from the shadows and touch it up. It's truly a marvel that the Assassin's Creed series got as big as it did and stayed so consistent. Part of what keeps bringing everyone back are the heinous villains of the Templar Order, who you have to eliminate each game. Those assassination missions always create some of the most memorable moments of the series, so here are some more that haven't left our minds.

15 🔜 Crawford Starrick

Assassin's Creed Syndicate

Assassin's Creed Syndicate lets you have a glimpse into the Templar Order during the Industrial Revolution 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in Victorian-era London, as you follow Grand Master Crawford Starrick, an egomaniacal and bloodthirsty business magnate who's in search of the Shroud of Eden. When he recovers it, the Frye twins are there to deliver what's coming to him.

The final boss fight that ensues with Starrick is one of the most intense and riveting since before the series shifted to more Soulslike gameplay. You go through multiple phases of avoiding giant laser wall patterns to reach Starrick and land some blows, alternating between the brother-sister duo of Jacob and Evie Frye. When the final assassination moment comes, it's a pretty glorious and swift teamwork finisher.

14 ꧂ Julius Caesar

Assassin's Creed Origins

If you know a bit about ancient Roman history, the thing Julius Caesar is most famously associated with is his death. He was stabbed to death during a session of🌄 the Roman Senate 𝓰23 times by a majority of the political senators gathered there.

Assassin's Creed Origins plays on this historical event and inevitably ties it into the story, where Bayek's wife Aya is the one to initiate the incident.

You don a cloak and blend in with the crowd of senators airing their grievances at some of Caesar's statements as he makes a compelling speech as to why he's worthy of continuing his rule. The scene is very well done and haunting, with a strong performance by Michael Nardone. When done listening to his speech, Aya will stab him in the back with the hidden blade, and the rest soon follow.

13 🔯 Ning The Treasurer

Assassin's Creed Mirage

Assassin's Creed Mirage isn't necessarily the most memorable Assassin's Creed game, bar the ending, but it promised to bring tꦇhe series back to classic assassinations, and that it did. When Basim Ibn Ishaq is on the hunt for the Order member going by The Treas♈urer, you ha🃏ve some intricate assassination level design that can even top moments in the original entries.

The setting is the bustling Bazaar in the Karkh district for the Da'irat Al-mal auction, and you'll have to really work your way toward getting at The Treasurer by first investing and eavesdropping for intel on their name, which you learn is Ning. You'll then participate in an auction for the hairpin she desires and then steal it back along with a brooch to get a conference with her in her chambers, where you'll assassinate Ning in front of all her guards. The escape will present a whole other set of challenges.

12 Charles Gab♋riel Siver꧙t

Assassin's Creed Unity

If you were to form a picture of Charles Gabriel Sivert from Assassin's Creed Unity in your head, chances are this is the image that still lingers. What makes his assassination so memorable is the location, circumstances, and method of stealth the game encourages you to use. To get to him, you also have to scale and parkour around the most important historical landmark in the game – the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Once you're inside, you must sneak around guards and wait for Sivert to enter a confessional booth. Sivert thinks his co-conspirator has arrived on the other side of the cabinet, but it's you, Arno Dorian, and you then get a button prompt to cut him off mid-sentence and jam the hidden blade into his throat in a slow-motion frame.

11 Cha🐈rles Dor🍸ian

Assassin's Creed Rogue

The series achieved something brilliant with Assassin's Creed Rogue and hasn't been able to pull off anything quite like it since. The game's final assassination leads directly into the plot of Assassin's Creed Unity, where a young child, Arno Dorian, finds his father Charles assassinated in the Palace of Versailles.

Rogue brilliantly weaves the two stories together through its protagonist-turned-antagonist Shay Patrick Cormac, an assassin who was mentored under Achilles Davenport and then betrays the Brotherhood to join the Templars and hunt down assassin targets one by one. His final target was Charles Dorian, the assassin in possession of the sought-after Precursor Box, and that assassination would shape the trajectory of Unity's protagonist.

10 Robert De Sa🥀blé

Assassin's Creed (2007)

The first Assassin's Creed game definitely isn't the best, but it has some particularly memorable assassinations. As an introduction to the novel gameplay that the games have become famous for, it worked wonderfully. (And it had an exceptional setting).

No assassination was more impactful than Robert de Sablé's, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar. Early in the game, Altaïr attempts to assassinate him and fails. After a long fight at the Battle of Arsuf at the end of the game, however, Altaïr succeeded and learned a dark secret with Robert's dying words.

9 ꦅ 𓃲 Uberto Alberti

Assassin's Creed 2

A lot of the people you have to kill throughout the Assassin's Creed series are really nasty pieces of work. Uberto Alberti is exactly this. He's one of the early villains in Assassin's Creed 2, who, as Gonfaloniere of Florence at the time, has the power to save Ezio's family.

After being given evidence that should save Ezio's family, it's expected that Uberto will not sentence them to death. But instead, he chose to ignore it, and sentenced themꦛ all to death, including a young boy. Very few characters deserved dꦉeath more than him, ♓as he is so plainly evil.

8 🍎 Stefano Da Bagnone

Assassin's Creed 2

There are some characters who are so evil and so cowardly at the same time, wielding their power from the shadows and fleeing from proper conflict. Stefano da Bagnone is exactly💝 that, conspiring to kill Lorenzo de Medici with the other Pazzi conspirators.

Of course, Ezio hunted this cowardly character in Assassin's Creed 2, but he fled to a monastery. This assassination allowed the game to show off its exciting social stealth, as Ezio blended in as a monk to enter the monastery, find Stefano, and kill him with the hidden blade. A classic Assassin's Creed assassination, executed perfectly.

7 Charl🃏es Lee 🐟

Assassin's Creed 3

On the side of the Patriots during Assassin's Creed 3, Charles Lee is an easy character to dislike. His story is tied to Connor's at multiple points, and even though the game wasn't a high point for the series, it's these powerful characters tied to impactful story moments that make it so special.

Charles Lee is a man who met Connor early in the game, when he was still a young boy, strangling him in the woods to find the location of his village. After his promotion to Grand Master of the Templar Order, Connor tracks him down, and through a ꦜslow fight, eventually brings him to death.

6 Cesare ꦉBorgia

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

A man obsessed with power, Cesare Borgia became Grand Master of the Templars after his father's death. Obsessed by the all-powerful object — the Apple of Eden — he desired total control.

He attacked the charismatic player character Ezio's safehouse of Monteriggioni at the beginning of the game, driven to wipe out the Auditore family, killing Mario at the same time. Again, Ezio had to deal with the death of someone close to him, and from there, he chased down the murderer until he was dead.
