What is the full name of Assassin's Creed Rogue protagonist Shay?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Rogue protagonist Shay is named Shay Patrick Cormac.

Shay Patrick Cormac is an Irish-born sailor who joins the Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins during the Seven Years' War. After becoming disillusioned with the Brotherhood's methods, he defects and works with the Templars. This change of allegiance is the defining premise of Assassin's Creed Rogue.

The game was released in 2014 and is set mainly in the North Atlantic, the River Valley, and New York. Its naval gameplay builds on systems from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, but Shay's vessel, the Morrigan, is designed for colder waters and river travel.

Shay is sometimes confused with other Kenway-era characters. He is not a member of the Kenway family, although Rogue connects directly to stories involving Haytham Kenway and Achilles Davenport.
