Nolan North provides the English voice of Desmond Miles in the Assassin's Creed games. Desmond is the modern-day character whose genetic memories are explored through the Animus, linking the contemporary storyline to historical protagonists.
North voices Desmond across the principal early games, including Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations, and Assassin's Creed III. The performance helped give the modern-day sections a consistent lead character even as the historical settings and playable ancestors changed.
Nolan North is a prolific American voice actor known for work in video games, animation, and film. He has also voiced characters such as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series. Desmond should not be confused with the historical characters whose memories he experiences; he is the modern descendant and Animus subject.
