Assassin's Creed/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: In ''AC1'' he merely gains Eagle Vision from the "Bleeding Effect" of his Animus use, but in ''AC2'' he has visual hallucinations and "dreams" a memory of Altaïr's outside the Animus (one that he'd never encountered in the Animus either), and in ''Brotherhood'' the hallucinations are getting worse: more frequent, with sound and in one case an event that Ezio almost certainly didn't experience ({{spoiler|the Borgia mole disguised as a thief who revealed where the Monteriggioni refugees were fleeing from}}). The e-mails between his companions also reveals that Desmond's been screaming in his sleep. Worse yet, Desmond is aware of and self-conscious about how his symptoms are paralleling those of Subject 16. And his fears are justified: by the next game he's {{spoiler|comatose from shock, his consciousness has been fractured and only the Animus is keeping him alive.}}

** And that was on ''top'' of having his mind so immersed with Ezio's that he sometimes spoke as if he were Ezio and even physically moved like Ezio...

** Comes full circle during the Animus platforming sessions of ''Revelations'', where Desmond reflects on his past and accepts his destiny.

{{quote|'''Desmond''': ''My name is Desmond Miles, and I am an Assassin.''}}

* [[Driven to Suicide]]

* [[Due to the Dead]]: Completely averted by Abstergo, [[Kick the Dog|who dumped his body into the Tiber River after he died]].

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: Possibly. He appears to {{spoiler|sacrifice his existence to save Desmond from deletion}}, but this has not been confirmed.

** In a much more chilling version, why did he {{spoiler|kill himself? According to ''The Lost Archive'', it wasn't just because he'd gone insane -- thanks to Lucy's betrayal, suicide was ''the only way'' he could help Desmond}}.
