Which Assassin's Creed game stars Shay Patrick Cormac, who changes sides to join the Templars?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Rogue stars Shay Patrick Cormac, who changes sides to join the Templars.

Shay begins the game as an Assassin working in the North Atlantic during the eighteenth century. After a mission connected to a devastating earthquake, he becomes disillusioned with the Brotherhood's methods and eventually allies himself with the Templars.

Rogue is notable because it presents much of the conflict from a Templar-aligned viewpoint. Its events connect directly with Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag, and Unity, creating links among the Kenway-era and French Revolution storylines.

The game was released in 2014 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, alongside Unity on newer consoles. Shay is not Haytham Kenway, although both characters become Templars and appear in stories set around the same broad historical period.
