== A spin-off will involve Connor matching wits with [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] ==
We know that Napoleon had a Piece of Eden in his possession at some point, so it's likely that he was a Templar. Even if he wasn't, he's just too juicy a character to ''not'' be involved in the ''Assassin's Creed'' saga in some way. And as dictator of France, he was known for having an extensive network of spies around Europe, which would be a good environment for an assassin to work his magic. And since the events of ACIII seem to be focused around America during the Revolution, it would make sense to have a follow-up set during the [[Napoleonic Wars]] (possibly even the [[The War of 1812]]), where Connor could see the events of the Templar-Assassin struggle on an international scale and get a look at its effect on the dynasties of Western Europe.
* And as a side note: we know that Napoleon was involved in a long campaign in Egypt around 1799, right? Wasn't one of the Pieces of Eden hidden in Egypt for a few thousand years...?
**Averted, with [[Assassin's Creed: Unity]], were it will be Arno would will be dealing with Napoleon Bonaparte.
 
== Connor will be unrelated to Ezio directly and will end up marrying Ezio's female descendant ==
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
*** While true there's also the possibility that their descendants married and their line produced Desmond's mother or father.
* Given the apparent wolf motif of Connor, rather than the Eagle motif of Ezio and Altaïr, perhaps the "Eagle Vision", something sight-based, is replaced with a wolf-themed sense built around scent. Could make things more interesting if targets picked up on this fact and used water to throw off the trail, making them harder to identify (at least, by smell).
* The "Design and Combat Interview" had one of the developers saying they redeworked the triangle button (presumably the one from [[PSPlay Station 3]] controolers, which is the eagle vision button) to give the ability to switch tools while fighting. The Eagle sense wasn´t used or even mentioned in the demos, too.
* Jossed, [http://mynintendonews.com/2012/03/24/assassins-creed-3-wii-u-details-from-nintendo-power Connor does indeed have Eagle Vision.]
 
== Who's a Templar during this period ==
Lot's of interesting choices to pick from in [[The American Revolution|this time period]]. Let's get the ball rolling:
* King George III: Not all Brits [[Evil Brit|will be evil]], but the king himself seems ripe for a [[Big Bad]] role.
* Benedict Arnold: A chance for Ubisoft to play with [[Betrayal Tropes]]. This could also set up a possibility for Arnold to be assassinated during an attempt on Washington's life, similar to the mission where Ezio defends Prince Suleiman in ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.
* Alexander Hamilton: He was actually conspiring with Aaron Burr, but Connor ends up offing them both.
* Sam Adams: his actions with the Sons of Liberty were definitely Templar-ish.
* Charles Lee: One of the screenshots shows Connor lunging at him.
* Some of the Founding Fathers. The American government is built on philosophies that resemble a loose mix of those of the Assassins and Templars as described in the games, so it would make sense that the new nation was an attempt to an armistice of some sort.
** Which is [[Truth in Television]], since a pretty good number of the Founding Fathers were Freemasons in [[Real Life]].
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
 
== La Volpe will make an appearance ==
... as Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. The partisan's style of combat fits the Assassins, striking quickly and than disappearing. And Marion's men attacked mainly supply convoys, that would be fitting for a thief.
** La Volpe will have been dead for a couple hundred years by the time of this game. Not to say he couldn't have had any descendants who could appear, but no La Volpe himself.
*** Or counter point. La Volpe is a title passed down from generation to generation and ''a'' La Volpe will make an appearance.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
 
== The entire American Revolution will be reveled to have been organized by the Templars. ==
We already known from ''[[Assassin's Creed II (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed II]]'' that George Washington have access to a piece of Eden, and from the information from Subject 16's glyphs that the Templars are very good at manipulating and eventually taking control of governing systems and ideologies that they originally opposed (the Templars originally tried to suppress Christianity and opposed the rise of capitalism, but they eventually embraced these social change and took control of the Catholic church and founded Abstergo Industries). It is totally within character for them to realized that the age of monarchies was coming to an end, so instead of fighting against the tide of social reforms, they allowed the founding of the United States and put their agents into the new government to ensure the Order can survive the new age.
 
== Connor will have some thing to do with wolves. ==
Altair and Ezio both seemed to have connections with hawks\eagles.Sense wolves are seen in the trailer, maby Connor will have a more wolf like approach to the game.
 
Line 74 ⟶ 75:
 
== Assassin Tombs will return. ==
But with the twist that, as part of some sidequest, Connor will visit the remains of characters we interacted with during the [[AC 2]]AC2 era, which have ended up in New England. Some possible candidates:
* Machiavelli. He was an important figure in the order, and his database entry mentions that his final resting place is unknown.
* Ezio. If only because it would be both touching for Connor to pay his respects to one of the order's greatest Mentors, and a nice [[Continuity Nod]] to the Ezio/Altair scene in ''Revelations''.
Line 87 ⟶ 88:
Or, since the last three games may have played out the surprise god angle, evidence hinting towards it will exist in the Grand Temple.
 
== There'll be at least one [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]] reference ==
Connor is a Native American with a [[Animal Motifs|wolf motif]], after all.
** Oh dear God I hope not.
 
== Connor will be able to sick wolves on people. ==
Wolves do appear a lot in the trailers, and it is Connor's [[Animal Motifs|animal motif]] after all. They would work the same way as Assassin recruits did in the last two game. You could befriend them in the wild, train them, and with a push of a shoulder button they would come from nowhere and violently maul whoever you're locked on to.
** That would be absolutely hilarious! (I'm an awful person.)
 
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
 
== October 30th 2012 will be an important day ==
It always bugged me that the release date of [[Assassin's Creed III|AC 3]] is 30th October when it was around the 15th November for all previous games. They probably changed the date to let the game appear more current for one of the events.
 
== Connors life will be viewed through an Abstergo Animus. ==
