Bartholomew Roberts is the evil counterpart to Edward Kenway in general: Both are Welsh people who became captains by chance and by accident, wore the outfits of dead men(Howell Davis and Duncan Walpole respectively) and are pursued by the Assassins(Edward for having the Eagle vision and Roberts for being a Sage) and Templars. Hell, even their first outfits resemble each other. But Edward, for all his faults, genuinely cares about his friends and family, Roberts is a cruel, ruthless and selfish man who will stomp, degrade and betray anyone to get what he wants. Edward wants a merry life but a long one, Roberts wants a merry life but a short one. Edward values freedom, Roberts wants subjugation. Roberts is what Edward could have become if he lacked a moral compass.
@@AMaidenlessRunt I suspect that Edward is loosely based off the pirate from history known as Samuel Bellamy, as one of the more popular things about Samuel was that he freed slaves on captured ships.
His voice is actually oddly satisfying to listen to. They really chose great voice actors. Loved the “You haven’t the mettle for my brand of madness”. Beautiful.
At 23:56 Roberts said he wanted his body destroyed while in actual history, one of his crewmates destroyed his body so that the captain that defeated him couldn't claim him as a trophy.
Frist Name Last Name Edward is from Swansea where there isn’t much of a welsh accent I’m from Monmouthshire which is by the Severn bridge(bridge that connects England and Wales) and I sound English even though I’m fluent in welsh
Roberts is my favorite Assassin's Creed villain. Criminally underrated considering how he's based on a real person as well, who was just as badass as his video game incarnation.
Seems like Roberts embodied all the successful results of Edward following his life of hedonistic selfish piracy and no regrets. Robert became skilled, feared, and a formidable force in the seas, but admitted it was short term and a life doomed to be a short thrill. In a way, he embodied a much darker and successful Edward with utterly no morals or restraints whatsoever.
Love that Roberts motto "A merry life and a short one" to him is the opposite of the life he has. He constanly needs to find himself so perpetual identity crisis, and he is technically immortal.
If you read the Abstergo documents, the Templars talk about how Edward is Welsh but “can we change him to English? I don’t think the audience will root for a WELSH speaker” Meanwhile Bartholomew is over here talking like a badass
@@xavierhouston4650i doubt ubisoft would ever do it, but it would be very mets if the games abstergo produced ending up being as despised by their fan base as most of the rl AC fandom is with the most recent AC games. Perhaps all them altering the narrative and adding in pro-templar propoganda ended up created poorly written narratives that weren’t as appealing to most people as the real thing would be
23:28 - 23:42 You may never notice this, but in that statement alone, Bartholomew Roberts, being a Sage of Aita, is indirectly responsible for the death of Edward Kenway decades later. The reason for this is because when Roberts vaguely referenced the Grand Temple, Edward proceeded to research many temples that the Isu once operated while writing everything in his journal, including writing about the vault Ezio Auditore had unlocked back at Rome centuries ago. Edward had contacted Reginald Birch as a employee and a suitor for his daughter Jennifer Scott, though Edward never realized until too late that Birch was actually a Grand Master Templar who sought to find the Grand Temple to complete the Templar cause: to abolish free will of humanity. Once Edward refused to hand over the journal to Birch despite his threats, Birch ordered mercenaries to ransack the Kenway mansion, causing the death of Edward and the abduction of the research journal as well as the kidnapping and trafficking of Jennifer. Birch immediately adopted Edward's second child Haytham Kenway and proceeded to brainwash and convert him into a devoted killer with a philosophical code. The Grand Temple was founded by Haytham with the help of his partner and love interest Ziio, though it could not be opened without the Apple of Eden. The door of the Temple would remain closed shut until the arrival of Desmond Miles centuries later. Due to being a heavy adversary of Edward, Roberts was a ticking time bomb against him. Roberts indirectly had Edward to get started on the research for the Grand Temple he never succeeded in or completed in his lifetime, and that research alone is ultimately proved to be a catalyst for the downfall of the Kenway family, as the journal made Edward a target for Birch and the British Templars. The journal reminded in the Templars' hands for over a century after Edward's death, until it was stolen by the Assassin Evie Frye. Edward may had outlived Bartholomew Roberts by a few years, though he could not live in a merry life and a long one, on the contrast of Roberts' motto "a merry life and a short one."
Also Roberts was reincarnated as Desmond's son. This makes him turn into Edward's descendant. Also he had and helped his paternal family assassin allies and Abstergo finally worked together in avenging his Father and mother by killing Juno and destroying her order.
An old song about Roberts has the lyric "never touched a bottle", yes, never touched a bottle of the rough stuff (rum) but that is not to say he didn't imbibe alcohol at all. I heard he actually preferred fine European wines and liquors to rum since he couldn't stand the fiery burn of the beverage and the high alcohol content made him ill.
Sages are all ways found in high position like you can find them like tamplers masters or pairte leaders there also really highly intelligent I think maybe juno probably give the sagas some the isu intelligent that's why there so smart
Nearly everyone did live like that in the olden days and it was a miserable lifestyle. Endless death and nonsense for a short thrill. Only an idiot wants to live such a life, which many have proven in spades unfortunately.
no shit. the difference is how long one of you three will get to enjoy life while the rest dies for having "a merry life and a short one". you can have a merry life and a long one too.
If that bag was just a _bit_ heavier, Kenway would've been a Templar. And if he'd not been so trusing of Roberts in the Observatory then he'd be rich beyond measure.
But Edward's greed blinded him to said betrayal, even though there were so many red flags flying above Roberts' head. And Adéwalé and the rest of the Jackdaw didn't trust Roberts at all.
In general this game was just a lot of fun. I always remember enjoying the sequences we had with the charming Black Bart Roberts here. Everything about him was on point from the immaculate drip to the superb voice acting. He had such a commanding presence every time. A memorable side character and antagonist. Man the dialogue for this series was pure poetry. Some of us took it for granted in many respects.
8:57 there is actually a plaque in the town lol I've seen it when I visited it reads in welsh Casnywedd bach yn y pentref yma y ganed Barti ddu y mor-leidr enwog (1682-1722) in this village the pirate black bart was born
@@dhlhthriwdhskissos9606 actually Desmond's son (yes, he has one), is a sage, the one and the same, Aita, although, he's one with the good guys. Regarding the actual question, I don't think so, sages should remember their past memories, Animus don't count.
Last great assassin‘s creed villain. From the unexpectedly relatable goals of Robert De Sable and his cabal to delightfully cruel borgia family to the sympathetic Haytham Kenway. Maybe Caesar was interesting but really Not Counting modern characters like Otso Berg or Daniel Cross, Roberts is the last interesting historical villain of the franchise. Unity, Syndicate, origins,odyssey,Valhalla all had bland and forgettable villains.
STRONGLY disagree entirely so. Unity had a GREAT villain who was your mentor entirely so! And there's a COUPLE of last great Assassin's creed villains AFTER this one, don't be so mean on the later ones, they're not at all "bland" or "forgettable" as you make it out to be AT ALL here.
@@samalvey8168 I never said it was right though. That's what sets Roberts apart from Edward: Edward has a sense of honor, something that for Roberts is completely alien.
Kind of ironic that there was indeed a sage that was a grandmaster of the Templar Order in the 14th century and another one that would be the new grandmaster in a couple of decades after Roberts
Yes, the Sages infiltrated the Templars and the Assassins because both factions were searching First Civilisation artefacts and locations. And like you point out I think they usually favour the Templars because like them they seek dominance over humanity. The rarer case is Sage Assassins, like John Standish (head of IT at Abstergo) who was an Assassin infiltree at Abstergo, though of course his true allegiance was to the cult of the Instruments of the First Will.

Edward fought alongside Blackbeard, Mary Reid, Anne Bonnet, Jack rackem and Charles vaine but killed Black Bart. Never has their been a truer pirate than Kenway
Absolutely one of the best villains in the series, and unique because in the beginning Edward despite being the hero is much more morally questionable than Torres, who isn’t the stereotypical evil Templar. On surface level, he’s just a completely crazy pirate seeking power, but as a Sage everything he does is for a much more complicated cause for himself.
Fun fact : the historical Bartholomew Roberts in one of the main inspirations for the character of Captain Hook from the Peter Pan. You can see it transcribed here, all with Roberts captain outfit and tea-drinking habits.
"For I have dipped my hands in muddied waters, and, withdrawing them, find 'tis better to be a commander than a common man" - Bartholomew Roberts, 1719.
Disregarding the vid entirely, edward said the truth when he said: "ah, thats the merchant who sailed me here. Out of caution, i gave him a false name." He gave the false name duncan out of caution that bonnet would not take him to havana
In my opinion ,when two sides/country Assassin or Templar go to war they both fight for peace & freedom, both sides (soliders or whoever involved) fight for the same cause or follow their creed thinking the other party is the villian , if one side wins they think they can bring peace but in the end both lose because they're are no winners in war only death & misery so the cycle goes on .until it is sorted through a peace negation to cease fire but by then it's all too late & the damage is done ! So it's pointless to pick a side but your own and be free as you will . Just my personal opinion bro 💯🙂
@Chino Josa John Standish is another "avatar" of Aita, but he's not the same person as Roberts and has his own video at th-cam.com/video/z8s0eZwPCvc/w-d-xo.html

His voice is actually oddly satisfying to listen to. They really chose great voice actors. Loved the “You haven’t the mettle for my brand of madness”. Beautiful.
Edward and roberts both Welsh 🏴
The Welsh are known for storytelling, beautiful language and accent
If there's ever a medieval Assassins' Creed I think his voice would also be excellent for Owain Glyndwr, Wales' greatest hero.
This guy confused me so much. He was so low key until all of a sudden he’s bombastic and charismatic.
He has another personality, the Isu, Aita, who was fairly bombastic in his own way and a real bastard.
He truly had me friendshipped until he fuckin pushed me in the observatory
He suddenly became the main villain for a while there
At 23:56 Roberts said he wanted his body destroyed while in actual history, one of his crewmates destroyed his body so that the captain that defeated him couldn't claim him as a trophy.

EmptyMan000 Well said.
he wasn't really a villain by comparison. He was a man motivated by fate and destiny he wanted to preserve the world in balance.
Robert didn't care about balance, Zyzor. His actions tell as such. Only about personal success and control over others.
He was much better villain than the governer Torres who you kill last.
5:25 one of the best lines ever.
Literally the only reason I watched this video was to find this line.
Love that Roberts motto "A merry life and a short one" to him is the opposite of the life he has. He constanly needs to find himself so perpetual identity crisis, and he is technically immortal.
I never got tired of the way Kenway calls out ROBERRRRTS
All that's missing is Edward shaking his fist at the sky as he does that
Edward: "Folks say you're the only one who can find it."

Both call main character "boy" after punching them.
And both men they fought sought redemption.
And both Micah and Roberts were dark mirrors of the characters they faced.

Now you know how I feel when Americans portray us English, we too have more than one accent.
@@teenagemutantammnite8944 exactly, crazy how both ends of England can sound so different. (Scouse and south London)
Jeffery you understand, 👍
I'm pretty sure at casnewydd-Bach also known as little Newcastle in Wales it has a sign of black bart
I'm British btw just saying
"For I have dipped my hands in muddied waters, and, withdrawing them, find 'tis better to be a commander than a common man"
- Bartholomew Roberts, 1719.
I love bartholomew roberts so much, mostly because im related to him lmao
Disregarding the vid entirely, edward said the truth when he said: "ah, thats the merchant who sailed me here. Out of caution, i gave him a false name."
He gave the false name duncan out of caution that bonnet would not take him to havana
We really must stop meeting like this
I thought this looked extremely realistic back in the days but seeing it now

"ROBERTS!!"
i love these memes. AC3 has “GIVE ME LEE!” and black flag has “ROBERTS!!”
Does anyone know what that means?? "What is peace but the confusion between two wars?
In my opinion ,when two sides/country Assassin or Templar go to war they both fight for peace & freedom, both sides (soliders or whoever involved) fight for the same cause or follow their creed thinking the other party is the villian , if one side wins they think they can bring peace but in the end both lose because they're are no winners in war only death & misery so the cycle goes on .until it is sorted through a peace negation to cease fire but by then it's all too late & the damage is done ! So it's pointless to pick a side but your own and be free as you will . Just my personal opinion bro 💯🙂
Its upto you & what your take on it there's no right or wrong answers as we all are entitled to our thoughts & opinions 🌠
What about the part he gets shot up by security?
@Chino Josa
John Standish is another "avatar" of Aita, but he's not the same person as Roberts and has his own video at th-cam.com/video/z8s0eZwPCvc/w-d-xo.html
Lol that part was fucking funny to me especially after i killed black bart not long ago and it's funny to me that he got shot and killed which i did like a sequence ago
Melissa O’Grady & Tanya Crawshaw loves this Accent - 4:10 - 4:21
