- All the cut scenes and narrative gameplay for individual characters from Assassin's Creed: Rogue in full-screen HD. If the character has a speaking part, it should be in here.
Assassin's Creed: Rogue and the Assassin's Creed series is created, owned, and produced by UbiSoft. All footage captured by me. I claim no ownership or copyright of the material used in this video.
The dude was just doing his job. He never hurt random civilians, he never demanded anything from anyone through deadly force, he never forced anyone to do anything. He was literally just looking out for the good of humanity and the Assassin's would have you believe this guy was a real threat to humanity.
The game isn’t perfect
But one thing it does is shows us that there are good templars and bad ones
And good assassins and bad ones too.
They aren’t perfect
Only Templars that are good is Shay himself,Monroe,Gist,Elise De La Serre and her father François De La Serre,Probably Melanie Lemay, and those Templars from the execution burning raid were probably better than every other Templar in the franchise including Haytham himself.
@@harverc229
You forgot Johnson and Pitcairn
Aye this is sweet and all but Shay literally joined an organization whose goal is to use Isu technology to monitor and control the world. The end goal of the templars hasnt change. And Shay, despite knowing that still chose to join them. He equally could’ve fixed the Assasin’s from within, but he didn’t. So yes, Shay was a real threat to humanity , despite his kind heart.
@@stxrmking
Uh he literally tried to change it and he was almost killed for it.
One of the few Templars I have respect for. Colonel Monro had a more honorable goal than most Templars
masteroftheassassins your name is cringey
Rodrigo Jr Sotto Says the guy who has Jr as a middle name.
Not only that, he has a cautious approach towards them. Like how he approaches shay, here. He traces the outside, casually and calmly stepping closer, until he can secure himself within a old stand point to proceed.
Jack the Gestapo I like free will so I like the assasins but that does not mean I do not like shay
Jack the Gestapo I said like so many times...
The biggest villain in Rogue wasn't an Assassin or a Templar, but Morgan Thomas, the man found guilty of buggery with a cow, a sheep, a turkey, and a mare.
Yayy 😅
I agree, He was the biggest villain in AC Rogue
I always saw the dude from the street i will call him "The Story Teller" and he have a deep voice which is very attractive and he tells the story about charles Lee, George Washington, Earthquakes, and also Morgan Thomas.
@@lyd4335 who is morgan thomas?
@@indra-ty9iz i don't know but that dude talking about morgan thomas.
I like how shay was excepted in the Templar’s as one of their brothers but with the Assassins he was an outsider.
samuel Monaghan that’s because there were some missions the assassins sent him on that rubbed him the wrong way (and that’s putting it very mildly). I have a feeling the Templars are likelier to accept traitors of the assassins than they are to accept ordinary people, because to actively despise the assassins, or at least stand against them, is to understand why the Templar ideals are superior by seeing the other side of the coin, by seeing the cons remedied by the Templars’ pros.
Not only that, but he became wiser
@@Tony-The-Motherfucking-Tigerwell well well if it isn't Tony, the mother-fucking Tiger
The fact that Monro saved Shay from death, even knowing he was an assassin was what gave inspiration to Shay in joining to the Templars. It's too sad that the Coronel had to die to make this happens.
Colonel monro was one of the best characters.
a well respected man rest in peace monro
Agreed. I loved this man.
Ernesto Manuel Perez Garcia he cared about the people in the colonies
Colonel Monroe and Hope were the only characters that I felt bad for their death.
@@mikemcgregor8700not Hope lol she was defending Achille while he was in the wrong if she wasnt there Achille would have died, im glad Shay killed her
Imagine if we had gotten to see a memory corridor between Liam and Colonel Monro, he gets mortally wounded with his hidden blade before being left in the burning house, the exchange between the two with Liam calling Monro a snake and a manipulator, while Monro reasons that the assassin's pushed Shay away and that he made something of him....
Thats some good fucking fanfic material right there. Short story, but one id read.
@@supervegito2277
Liam: "Your days of world domination are over, Monro"
Monro: "Domination? Boy, if only you would see past your arrogance. I only wanted a better tomorrow for the people. I gave them homes, businesses, food and shelter. I care"
Liam: "No. You buy their admiration and and love. You dangle their hopes and dreams over them like a cat with a piece of rope"
Monro: Funny...I don't remember poison and gangs and intimidation being our methods...if only you saw it my way...one of your own does because you pushed him away. And now he sees you for what you are....
Liam: *walks away in frustration with the manuscript, leaving monro to succumb to his wounds*
When I first met George Monro, I realize that not all Templars are evil. Some wanted to create Order for peace, and some are willing to do with power that can lead to there corruption. There are other Templars who are good and sided the right path.
Monro was my favorite character. He was a hero.
He was the reason Shay ended up joining the Templars in the first place. Monroe's idealism, kindness, and respect for Shay won Shay over when the disrespect, cynicism, and arrogance of the Assassins did not.
EmptyMan000 that was Achilles’ Colonial Brotherhood. He grew arrogant and drunk on the power and influence his position as Mentor brought him, much like another Assassin, Abbas Sofian. They end up corrupting the Creed and everything that the Assassins stand for and it reflects very well in his highest ranking Master Assassins, who follow him unquestioningly to their own demise. Thankfully, he learned his own lessons by the time he trains Connor.
@@lt.branwulfram4794
Achilles was just another Yoda - arrogant, dumb and the dark side clouded their judgement and not to mention both went into exile since Order 66 just as Haytham did Order 66 on the assassins.
I just like Shays Templar outfit. Looks so formal and fits well with all the scenes.
Charles Lee could've learnt a thing or two from this man.
Charles Lee did nothing wrong
@Collin Nazareth I agree. He burnt down Connors village and killed his mother without Mercy. I know that he may have been doing it in the name of the templar cause but he didn't have to slaughter Connor's people and burn down that village even if wether or not( not saying it's possible since.haytham was trying to manipulate Connor) if haytham ordered Lee to do so.
@@drakemiller8080 It was George Washington who burnt down Connor's village, not Charles Lee.
@@drakemiller8080 no that was George Washington it is in the files of ac3
@@RawPower867
True, but remember at the end Lee vowed. "I will kill you. This, I swear. Not here, though. Not today. No... first, I'll destroy all you hold dear. I'll burn that homestead to the ground and roast the severed heads of your precious "founding fathers" in its flames. And when I've finished with all of them, all the rest will burn as well. Your merry band of Assassins. The human refuse that lives on your land. Your village and its people. All of it - gone!"
Colonel Monro would never have made it as a grandmaster. He seems too honorable for Haytham’s ofttime cold pragmatism. But Monro was a good man.
Haytham was honourable too.
@@H.K.5 At some point he became more cynical and brutal as time went on. He was aware of this and was secretly ashamed of what he was becoming but still he stayed on course.
@@JohnnyDominion
Shay too became twisted that he had no remorse in killing Arno's pa, rendering the poor child an orphan.
@@JohnnyDominion Both Haytham and Colonel Monroe were good men.
@wildman7220 Yes but the difference as in Colonel Munro died a good man but Haytham died as a shadow of his former self. He became bitter, cynical and overly brutal just like his old comrade Braddock something he criticized the man for. He may have tried to be a father to Connor his inability to stop subtle manipulation and just empathize with the lad on a personal level squashed any chance of a good relationship. His attempts to kill Connor was the last straw for me. Of course not like Connor wasn't equally stubborn.
"I am not a rich man, Master Cormac. Money is a means to an end. Not an end in and of itself."
This quote has stuck with me ever since I heard it years ago. One of the most interesting Templars in the series.
Colonel Monro was an honorable and humble person. One of the best templars in my opinion. He seemed to be sincerely concerned with the well-being of the people.
In your honor George Monro, although I do not know what he could save in that arson, it will always be remembered, those of us who play Assassin's Creed Rogue
One of the only "good Templars" in the game. Nice.
Gist is awesome too
Templars are the good guys, tho.
None of the Templars were bad apart from Charles Lee, Benjamin Church and maybe Thomas Hickey.
Colonel Monroe the only templar you know is a good man and also a good friend and ally of Shay
George is the textbook anti-villain: dude who’s honorable, noble and genuinely believes he’s doing the right thing despite being on the ‘bad’ side.
Lelouch.
Forget the noble way Colonel Monro upheld the Templar's principals, I wanna know what the fuck the NPC at 2:08 was talking about!!!!!
2:05 For those who don't know who is this guy, he is the story teller who always spawn at the street and he have a deep voice which is attractive for those who want to listen to him and he tell about Charles Lee, George Washington, Earthquakes, and also Morgan Thomas.
This is a True Templar....Templars are Holy Guardians.
Unfortunetly, most are corrupt power hungry bastards
Just one above all traits of honor.
May the father of understanding guide you.
I serve righteousness not corruption. I bring order for all those who are willing to fight for freedom, and I will not fell to a dark path like the others. I serve the good will of God, and I will not follow this chaotic order. May the father of understanding guide us.
They support slavery...
Assassins mostly have you believe Templars want total domination, control, and subjugation. When some of the good Templars only desire a peace built through order because some know that peace through freedom has it's flaws.
I think it fundamentally comes down to what you’ve lacked, which side you join. Have no freedom or choice, then the Assassin’s life tends to give just that. Have only experience chaos, the Templar life may give you some structure or routine.
The problem is always the people within each faction. A good cause gets twisted with individuals self interest or how they view the goal differently.
When George Monro died, so did the morals of the Colonial Templars.
Yeah I think haythem is the one keeping the tamplers in check
There are scenes in assassin's creed. I actually understand traders if you play revelations, You get a conversation of a rogue.assassin. He betrayed the order because it was against his own country. The place he was born was being burned, and his family were being killed, the people he knew. So we took the Templar path.
Its so sad that he dies 😢 one like equals one R.I.P for the coloniel
the speedwagon of ac rogue
The Colonial Templars weren't bad people at all (except Benjamin Church, Hickey, and Charles Lee maybe). Their hearts were all in the right place. They just had very different ideas as to what constituted the essential building blocks of a perfect world. They weren't the tyrannical power-mongers Ezio fought in Italy. They just wanted the same thing the Assassins claimed to want: for humanity and the world to prosper.
Whereas the Assassins Shay served under were arrogant blowhards, cutthroats, and criminal kingpins. Ezio did everything he could to hide pieces of Eden from mankind, and yet Achilles wanted to dig them up for the sake of keeping them away from Templars. They did not care about the destruction they caused and were more than happy to terrorize innocents - something the Creed forbids. The story of Rogue just goes to show that the Assassins aren't always in the right or even necessarily good people. They are just as susceptible to corruption and evil as the Templars.
I don't think Hickey was outright evil. Just incredibly selfish, and possibly a nihilist
@@ditto7047 ^ agreed
Hickey quite literally didn't give a fuck about anything, man was just in it for the money
@@ditto7047 it's interesting that we hardly see an assassin who doesn't give a shit about freedom and just want money just like Thomas Hickey.
When I first meet Monro I loved him and as I do now he is one of the amazing Templars when he died I was sad I was very angry at Liam after Monro died it was Liam's fault
2:08 ayo wtf morgan thomas
Monro's a beast
U are not him
Just imagine right. You do good deeds. You help people out from the will of your own heart. Not know what the outcome is going to be but knowing how it’s gonna get done. Then you get a letter or a group meeting with your peers and one steps out to say “you have shown us loyalty and we appreciate your finest help. We thank you and to let you know. You have been doing the great or good for the Templar cause”
I deeply respect how he gave Shay his templar ring. Really shows the faith that he had in Shay to be a member of the Templar Order.
his proof that not all Templars want to rule some just wants to protect it
The Templars definitely want to rule. It's part of their goal of a New World Order. However, their methods of ruling are different among the various Grand Masters. You could get a tyrant like Borgia, who was so awful, that Abstergo, even after all the horrible things they've done, consider his reign to be the "Dark Age" of the Templars. Or you could get someone like Monro, who saw himself not as a ruler, but as a sheperd, guiding the sheep of the world to safety.
All the Templars have thick ass coats. I love it.
That's their dress code literally
I fucking love Monro
Me too my friend
@@kapitan19969838
Achilles pushed Connor to kill Haytham the same way Yoda & Kenobi got Luke to face Vader.
Difference is Luke defeated Vader, yes, but he back down thus letting Vader finishing Palpatine, fulfilling his destiny.
Connor could have done the same as Luke.
- - Alt scene - -
The fight between Haytham and Connor in both hand to hand and words was halted by cannonballs, one hitting the duo as they fought. Connor approached Haytham and tried to get him to relinquish.
"Ugh... Surrender and I will spare you."
"Brave words from a man about to die."
"You fare no better."
"Even when your kind appears to triumph... Still we rise again. And do you know why? It is because the Order is born of a REALISATION. We require no creed. No indoctrination by desperate old men. All we need is that the world be as it is. And THIS is why the Templars will never be destroyed!"
Haytham started to choke Connor. Again, Connor wrestled free from Haytham.
"What?"
"That would be enough, father."
"What are you doing? Get back in the game!" Haytham reminded.
Debris from above battered his already weakened father to be unconscious. Connor swung quickly to his feet, and peered suspiciously about. There was no sign of any person, friend or foe, on the array of rooftops or windows close about. His eyes lit on a book at his feet. He picked it up to examine its unaccustomed design and read page by page.
"What is this?"
Connor read his father's tragic childhood and lifetime of betrayal, also discovering that he had saved Connor's life: Haytham was the one who threw a knife at the hangman's noose during Connor's execution, fully severing the rope after Connor's apprentices had fired an arrow and weakened it. Furthermore, Connor learned Haytham had feigned ignorance of Kaniehtí:io's death as he had assumed Connor would never believe that Washington was responsible.
"But? Why..."
Connor's face now showed unmistakable shock at the words he just read. Tears started coming out of his eyes. As Haytham got up, he found out. He quickly wiped tears from his eyes as Haytham muttered.
"Don't think I have any intention of caressing your cheek and saying I was wrong. I will not weep and wonder what might have been. I'm sure you understand. Still, I'm proud of you in a way. You have shown great conviction. Strength. Courage. All noble qualities. I should have killed you long ago."
"Yes, you should have, but you stayed your hand again."
"I see you read my journal."
Connor saw his familiar enemies turned allies: William Johnson and John Pitcairn.
"What? Hello, Connor! Remember us?" Pitcairn reminded.
"Johnson! Pitcairn!"
"Remember the lands purchased?"
"Listen, father, Johnson, Pitcairn, I was wrong to attack you since I did not know what your intentions are."
"You attacked us, yes, but you took your time to understand us. Your people are safe."
"I also eradicated the patriots, since I realised I was helping the wrong group."
"You killed them, yes, but I simply requested you to lay down their arms. You would have killed me, but you did not." Pitcairn pointed out.
"I tried to save you from your ignorance. You read my journal. Now, what have you got to say about this?"
"How is it did you end up violent on three occasions?"
"I know. I just couldn't live with what I did. I was there were some things you could learn from me and perhaps you could have taught me about your creed."
"Father, I don't know what to do. I feel like I failed my people."
"There's still time to fix this." Pitcairn offered.
"How?" asked Connor.
"We can help the assassins be like those who possessed a far sensible. We will help the people push the patriots."
"I still haven't forgotten about Lee."
I'm glad he looked past Shay's previous affiliation and saw the potential he had for the Order.
So we gonna ignore what the npc said about the sheep?
A cow, a sheep, a turkey, and a man, to be exact.
I can't ignore him because i always saw him in the street and he have a deep voice which i attract to him and he tells about Charles Lee, George Washington, Earthquakes, and also Morgan Thomas.
Hard to believe Monro was a Templar if you told back at Ezio's saga that Templars such as him exist I wouldn't believe it.
A lot of the ezio templars were a bit too cartoon evil. Other than rodrigo They were all in it for personal power and wealth rather than to actually shape a world like the ac1 templars or AC3 onwards templars
@@willbaker6532 I agree I love ezio saga but as you said they were cartoon villians mostly AC 1 and Ac 3 and rogue give us a more grey picture which I like
@@davidistvanovic agreed. Something i noticed when i looked back into these games.
Such a nice guy
George Monro: *Is a good man*
Assassins: "And I took that personally."
For a group set on freedom the assassins are a really narrow minded bunch. They only see a man as a Templar. Same with Bellec with Elisé in Unity really narrow minded. As well as Connor in AC3 with Haytham. Yeah, there are corrupt ones like Benjamin Church, Charles Lee, Crawford Starrick. Even the Templars that Altaïr faced were honest that Al Mualim was working with them, and he thought it was a lie just because they were Templars.
After AC Rogue... Achilles, having learnt from his mistakes, went back to training more initiates including Bellec as a more benevolent and less extremist bunch... Haytham's Templars had grown in power and begun a massive purge of Assassins... in Bellec's words... massacring entire settlements just to kill a single Assassin initiate. His hatred and distrust are not unreasonable. It's also why Achilles became disillusioned with the Assassins... only for Connor to revive that lost hope.
Connor wanted to unite the assassins and Templars. He only hunted the Templars in the first place because he wanted revenge for what happened to his village and family.
All i know templars are bad af but when it comes to rogue it reminds me dat some templars are very kind like haytham and shay
thundernamikaze In Rogue the Assassin's are the bad Guys.
They break their own Creed and have an idiot called Achilles as a Mentor.
Templars arn’t “bad” per say, they seek peace through order. The Assassin’s seeked peace, which even Haytham called an honourable goal. But they started to seek their “freedom” You can’t control for the greater good if you have assassins seeking freedom and vice-versa. The only really bad Templar I know is the Spaniard. He used the Templar to gain power for himself.
Something to understand is that this is not a case of Assassins: good; Templars: bad, it’s simply a battle of ideals. Where an Assassin would kill a man, run, then leave it at that, a Templar would kill a man, teach people why the man they killed had to die, and pretty much handle the aftermath of the situation. Freedom means chaos and order means domination to each side. “Nothing is true, everything is permitted. - If everything is permitted, then no one is safe.” You can strive for a certain cause or idealism and still either be a hero or a monster, just like in war itself.
I Control My Fate yeah Haytham is certainly proper but he’s not exactly kind. He’s the textbook definition of “evil mastermind”. He’s cunning, he’s precise, he’s powerful, he has powerful allies, and he’s very dangerous.
Jack Weeks and Christopher Gist were good men too.
Thank You for making this mate
really, that's a amazing character from AC
2:05 What
the fuck
@Matt Ireson
Yeah, got to wonder about the turkey...
I always saw the dude from the street i will call him "The Story Teller" and he have a deep voice which is very attractive and he tells the story about charles Lee, George Washington, Earthquakes, and also Morgan Thomas.
Why did he have to die?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Monro_(British_Army_officer)
He was a real person
Because history.
Too likeable a character
An authoritarian with honor is still an authoritarian. The only difference is that you should feel bad when you put them down.
This authoritarian did everything in his line of duty for people he governs. Being govern by that sort of man is always better than anarchy
Y'all having debates on that "ASSASSIN or TEMPLAR" shit lmao. Assassin's act differently depending on the time. Like the colonial assassin's are absolute fuck ups while renaissance assassin's are more "honorable" and live by their Creed, and don't kill innocent lives. Same goes for the Templars. both sides switch from corrupt power hungry men to people who follow the Templars or assassin's original goal. But now it just seems like the using of "templar" is just a name for an assassin's creed antagonist lol
Who Are You Too give me Orders I out rank you
I'm not part of Your army Colonel 😏
Wait, where are Munroe's daughters? Where's Chingakchook, Uncas and Nathaniel Hawkeye??
Wait who where the Assassins fighting for in the Seven years war. The French became the Aggressors didn't they?
@High Commander of Helghan
I honestly don't know much about the historical war but the Assassins were siding with the French (and Iroquois) while the Templars were allied with Great Britain.
@@Sevvina Templars chose the winning side!
Yep. They fought with the French even though they were literally fighting them in the West Indies. Hell, Adewale, a former slave, worked with them and they were SLAVERS in the West Indies. The Colonial Brotherhood was a shitstorm of double standards, corruption and arrogance. Assassins like Altair or Ezio would have been ashamed
The seven year war wasn’t really a normal war with one side declaring it but heightened tensions between colonial boarders of the thirteen colonies and the Ohio valley. Basically it came a force lead by George Washington with British and native troops ambushed French troops in the Ohio valley which kicked off quick succession of battles along colonial boarders between France and Britain.
Is that the same guy who had his heart cut out by a Native American in the last of the Mohicans?
@Abraham Lincoln
Both characters are based on the same real person, yes.
