| “ | Mother, Father, I am sorry. I have failed you both. I made a promise to protect our people. I thought, I thought if I could stop the Templars. If I could keep the Revolution free from their influence, that those I supported would do what was right. They did, I suppose, do what was right - what was right for them.
As for you Father, I thought I might unite us, that we would forget the past and forge a better future. In time I believe you could be made to see the world as I did, to understand....but it was just a dream. This to I should have known. Were we not meant to live in peace then? Is that it? Are we born to argue, to fight? So many voices, each demanding something else. It has been hard at times but never harder than today. To see all I worked for perverted, discarded, forgotten. You would say I would have described the whole of history Father. Are you smiling then? Hoping I might speak the words you long to hear, to validate you, to say all along you were right. I will not. Even now, faced as I am with the truth of your cold words, I refuse. Because I believe things can still change. I may never succeed. The Assassins may struggle another thousand years in vain, but we will not stop. Compromise, that is what everyone has insisted upon. And so I have learned it, but differently than most I think. I realize now that it will take time, that the road ahead is long and shrouded in darkness. It is a road that will not always take me where I wish to go – and I doubt I will live to see it end. But I will travel down it nonetheless. For at my side walks hope. In the face of all that insists I turn back, I carry on. This... This is my compromise. |

| “ | Such dark thoughts will cripple a man. But only if he lets them. Look again. Out there stand men and women determined to be free. Such a struggle is rarely easy, and never without sacrifice. I have often asked myself a thousand times if I would not be happier back amongst my people, living a quieter, simpler life. But if I abandoned my cause – if you abandoned yours, Commander – who would take our places? And what would become of the people who rely upon us? | „ |

Later life[]
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Although unlike other members of the Brotherhood, he does not possess significant anti-heroic qualities, he is still an assassin, which makes him too lethal for an NPG, since he is also like other assassins from the Brotherhood, since he kills his victims in rather brutal ways, and sometimes in pure wrath. Although all his victims deserve it.
- Sometimes he can be rude and too stubborn, though these traits have somewhat toned down. But they resurface every now and then.
