The protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Rogue is Shay Patrick Cormac.
Shay begins the game as an Assassin operating in the North Atlantic during the eighteenth century. After a devastating mission and a crisis of faith, he leaves the Brotherhood and joins the Templars. The story follows his transformation from Assassin to Assassin hunter, giving the series’ usual conflict a different viewpoint.
Shay’s name is sometimes confused with Patrick, his middle name, or with Liam O’Brien, a fellow Assassin who is important to the plot. The requested first name is Shay. His surname also connects him to the game’s full title character identity rather than to the Kenway family.
Rogue shares historical space with Assassin’s Creed III and Black Flag. It includes locations in the North Atlantic, the river valley, and New York, and its events help bridge the stories of the earlier colonial-era games and Assassin’s Creed Unity.
