Which Assassin's Creed game features the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Rogue features the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac.

Released in 2014, Rogue follows Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin who becomes disillusioned with the Brotherhood after a mission causes a catastrophic earthquake in Lisbon. He later joins the Templars and hunts former allies, presenting the conflict from the opposing side.

The story takes place during the Seven Years' War and connects directly with other games. Shay encounters characters from Assassin's Creed III and Black Flag, while the ending leads into the opening circumstances of Assassin's Creed Unity.

Rogue is distinct from Liberation, whose central character is Aveline de Grandpré, and from Mirage, which focuses on Basim Ibn Ishaq. Its unusual perspective is the key identifying feature: the player controls a former Assassin who becomes a Templar rather than a conventional Brotherhood hero.
