What is the name of the main character in Assassin's Creed Rogue?

Shay Cormac is the main character in Assassin's Creed Rogue.

Shay Patrick Cormac begins the game as an Assassin during the Seven Years' War. After a disastrous mission and a crisis of faith, he leaves the Brotherhood and joins the Templars. The story therefore presents the series' central conflict largely through the viewpoint of a former Assassin hunting his former allies.

Rogue was released in 2014, alongside Assassin's Creed Unity. Its North Atlantic setting supports naval travel, while its story links directly to earlier and later characters, including Achilles Davenport, Haytham Kenway, and Adéwalé.

Shay is not Liam O'Brien; Liam is a fellow Assassin and former friend. Edward Kenway belongs to Black Flag, while Haytham Kenway is a major character in Assassin's Creed III. These connected names reflect the franchise's recurring family and mentor relationships.
