These historical figures would be perfect for an Assassin’s Creed game.
Considering how George W. Bush was canonically a Templar puppet, clearly they’ll let in anyone.
But what if they recruited video game characters?
Which iconic figures would join their ranks given the chance?
10Princess Peach
Game Series
Super Mario Bros.
Useful Abilities
Diplomacy, combat, stealth, driving.
The Assassins need people of all skillsets, from combatants to politicians and beyond.
That’s wherePrincess Peach of the Mario gamescomes in.
Her political prowess as royalty is matched by her combat skills proven through tons of game appearances.
Plus, her Mario Kart residency ensures she’d be an excellent getaway driver.
9Vivi Ornitier
Final Fantasy
Magic, lots of magic.
As a result, Vivi’s own mortality becomes a major theme for him.
With such iconic characters, it’s hard to choose between them.
We’ve done the hard work for you by choosing the best FF characters of all time.
Don’t worry, they’ve dealt with magic before.
Just look at the Pieces of Eden or Desmond’s inexplicably changing face between games.
8Garrus Vakarian
Mass Effect
Sniper, tactical and leadership expertise.
Every good organization needs a few smooth vigilante types.
Velvet-voiced sniper Garrus Vakarian fills that rolein the Mass Effect games, and he could always use another paycheck.
Despite his brushes against the law, Garrus is all about doing the right thing.
That would include aiding the Assassins for the good of an entire race.
Sure, he’s a turian.
7Amicia De Rune
A Plague Tale
Stealth, weapons training, field crafting.
6Sonic The Hedgehog
Shockingly, Sonic the Hedgehog
Super speed, adaptability.
And not just the ones Sega would prefer you to forget.
The same thing would happen with the Assassins.
5Aloy
Horizon
Low-tech weapon training, leadership, adaptability with technology.
The Assassins love a good reluctant hero.
Just look at pretty much every playable character in the series.
(You’d think they would learn to be more gentle about reruiting by now.)
But it’s not like she isn’t willing to do the right thing.
Her skill with a bow would also be perfect for missions where low-tech stealth is required.
4Lara Croft
Tomb Raider
Weapon training, acrobatics, climbing.
Sometimes Lara Croft is a wisecracking treasure hunter.
Sometimes she’s an untested adventurer in over her head.
Sometimes she’s Angelina Jolie.
But whichever version ofTomb Raideryou pluck this occasionally flappable spelunker from, she’ll have the skills you need.
Which version of Lara is best?
Plus, you know she’d be willing to join, because Tomb Raider loves its moral conundrums.
3Wyll Ravengard
Baldur’s Gate
Rapier proficiency, magic.
Wyll would join the Assassins without a second thought, even if he should probably have a few.
2Nathan Drake
Uncharted
Weapon training, athletics, accidental chaos.
You know exactly where this is going.
Something is bound to go wrong on every mission, and people will end up on their backs.
He hunts treasure, but is always willing to do the right thing in the end.
1Link
The Legend of Zelda
Sword proficiency, athletics, no backtalk.
Look, you don’t need to be a particularly eloquent speaker to be a hero.
Just look at James Baxter from Adventure Time.
They just might want to hire an interpreter fluent in ‘hyet’.
