The Assassin-turned-Templar protagonist Cormac in Assassin's Creed Rogue is named Shay.
Shay Patrick Cormac begins the game as an Assassin operating in the North Atlantic and North American colonies. After a disastrous mission and a growing disagreement with the Brotherhood's methods, he abandons the Assassins and joins the Templars. The change allows Rogue to present the conflict from the opposing side.
The game is set during the Seven Years' War in the mid-eighteenth century. Its environments include the North Atlantic, the River Valley, and New York, with naval travel and ice-filled waters playing major roles. Shay's ship is the Morrigan.
Rogue has strong links to other games. It leads into Assassin's Creed III through its setting and characters and overlaps with the period of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Shay's surname is Cormac, while Shay is his first name.
