In this series, you play as a highly trained, skilled, stealthy, and acrobatic assassin fighting against corruption and evil. The assassins are the ultimate swordsmen, dangerous with any edged weapon, who escape into the shadows as soon as their mission is complete...
And on the brink of next month's release of the next game in the series, "Revelations," I just discovered the original Assassin... in the Bible. His name is Ehud and his story takes place in the book of Judges, Chapter 3. Ubisoft should probably do a prequel and make the judge Ehud into the main protagonist. The first mission would go something like this...
15Then the people of Israel cried out to the LORD, and the LORD raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. 16And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his clothes.
17And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. 18And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. 19But he himself turned back at the idols near Gilgal and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence.
20And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat. 21And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 22And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. 23Then Ehud went out into the porch and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them.
Skills.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
