Gender: Male, since that has basically been confirmed. Would like a female though, but maybe not for the character I'm describing.

Age at beginning: 30-ish

Age at end: 40-ish

Weapon: Grappling hook, obviously

Fighting style: Pure stealth - quick, clean and efficient. Wouldn't want to get blood on that outfit. Hand to hand combat is usually done with the hidden blade (hint hint, Ubisoft), assuming he ever actually gets seen. If he does then the fight is over in a flash.

Clothing: Pitch black robes, as simple and non-flashy as possible. He does most of his work at night. In day he wears civilian clothes, something classy.

Personality: Cold blooded murderer who aims to get the job done while sticking to the three tenets at all times.

Backstory: His backstory is not actually revealed in a conventional way. You play through the story as normal but at certain points, say, at the end of every sequence, you see some of his past in a flashback sequence or whatever. These flashbacks slowly reveal important parts of his backstory and in turn, the main story. But his past holds a dark secret that, upon discovery (probably near the end), will put the whole game into a new perspective. Think of the twist at the end of Haytham's part of AC3. That you're essentially "the bad guy" this whole time. It comes as a huge surprise, but when you think about it, it makes total sense and when you see those parts again you see it from a different angle and you notice the signs. It's like that, except it's built up over the whole game and it's not necessarily "You were the bad guy all along". I don't know what it is exactly.

Strengths: Stealth, agility, deception, social engineering (good at manipulating people) coming up with quick solutions to problems

Weaknesses: Melee combat with more than 2-3 high level guards, opening up emotionally, accepting criticism from anyone but the Mentor

Reason for joining: See backstory. So basically, I dunno.

Think first game Altair, Agent 47 and a bit of Dexter Morgan.
