In Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, which historical Assassin does the player control?

The story behind the answer

The playable historical Assassin in Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is Shao Jun.

Shao Jun is an Assassin operating in 16th-century China during the Ming dynasty. The game begins after she returns to China with knowledge and training connected to the wider Assassin tradition. Her campaign centers on revenge, survival, and rebuilding the Chinese Brotherhood after attacks by the Eight Tigers.

Chronicles: China is a 2.5D side-scrolling action game rather than a conventional open-world entry. Its visual style draws on Chinese art, and its missions emphasize stealth, platforming, ranged tools, and carefully timed movement.

Shao Jun should not be confused with Aveline de Grandpré, the protagonist of Liberation, or Maria Thorpe, an important character from the original Assassin's Creed. Shao Jun's later appearances in series lore help connect her story to the broader historical Assassin network.
