@@badreedinedjellali1328Those fans are idiots. Germain said that the idea of divine rights is total nonsense and that the corrupt church was a detriment to society. He was genius to take advantage of the revolution and its chaotic attributes, claiming that people needed to fear things to become obedient, which in turn leads to peace. He would’ve burn France and built it right up into something different. Yet, he died and Napoleon destroyed France because all of those wars in Europe.
1:25 It is seen that the Guard was trying to protect Germain at that time, but the latter killed him so that the Guard would not reveal his true identity as a Templar Master to Arno
More or less. Roberts in AC4 was smart, but did not aimed for anything. Here, the sage was a Templar. And one devoted to the true line of thought of the Templars.
Germain and de Molay were quite different from Standish and Roberts where Germain made no mention of Juno or the Observatory, while it is obvious from the last two that they were both obsessed with releasing Juno. Before Unity I assumed other Sages would share the same personality and motives. Maybe other sages only share different aspects of Aita's personality and memories.
‘ a brief taste of chaos will remind them why they crave obedience’ A shame, these memory corridor conversations are what makes AC great imo. The characters often speak like poets. (although we might not get to see the philosophical debates between the two ideologies as Arno doesn’t show much affinity for the Creed at this point in his life)
I wonder if Shay Cormac knew that Grand Master François de la Serre was at the palace of Versailles the same time he was. And if Shay would've sided with Arno or sided with Germain. Could've been cool seeing Arno and Shay work together to kill Germain.
Shay teased "time for our own revolution" when he killed Arno's dad. the revolution he mentioned was French Revolution whos planned by Germain. so yeah Shay was in Germain side
@@homanism6438 Not necessarily. Even when Arno was a child there was hatred for the French monarchy. Civilians had already started whispers of doing something about it. Shay hated having large numbers of people die so he would side with the revolution but not as extreme as Germain. I can see Shay agreeing with Grand Master de la Serre and Mirabeau on peace.
@@homanism6438 Germain wanted to see humans returned to the state of being slaves, of course him being a reincarnation of Aita, Juno's husband. I doubt Shay would side with him, all that Shay wanted when he joined the order was that the precursor sites be left alone as they had the power to destroy cities. He joined the Templars with humanity's safety in mind, not humanity's slavery.
Funny how history is filled with monsters like this just being pitted against each other while everyone in between suffers and dies. What peace would the world have without monsters like Germain, Rodrigo Borgia, and Starrick around to stoke the flames of conflict.
So ubisoft messed up the interaction to where Arno didn't even remember his face from the horse carriage when tried to deliver the message he was given.
I wasn’t sure about the assassinations in this game, very unprecedented, a bit too magical. But at least this and origins had conversations with the dead. Odyssey, he’s a straight up killed them.
Sorry but this isn’t all of his scenes. He’s the man in the carriage that Arno chases down in the beginning of the game while trying to deliver a letter to Monsieur De la Serre.
@Ashen Hunter It's been a while since I made this video, but I do remember looking into that and finding out that it was not supposed to be the same character, even though the programmers basically used the same skin.
@@maciejpolak2458 no excuses for a multi-billionaire company. RDR2, for example, is also a 150hrs+ game, yet they deliver great cutscenes that feels human and non-robotic (even though its real time which is even more great). Ubisoft is just lazy.
It's revealed that some time between 1784 - 1814, the Assassins deliberately buried the Observatory and some time later it suffered a catastrophic collapse. It was probably destroyed by the time the French Revolution happened.

@@xrstevenson This is a different guy. Roberts died in 1722 and Germain was born in 1726. Also, because Aita's DNA was scattered throughout the human race, there can be more than one sage at a time.
Germain was basically the Palpatine of the ac series. He dressed like him, played another side temporarily fooling the side he's against.
He even said "gooood"
Even feign helplessness

Is it me or do Sages make the best AC antagonists?

Xanathos Roberts was like captain Morgan. He wanted control , independently
Emile Caitan you kill him and he comes back as someone else.

Haytham was pretty awesome.
“We who control the gold will control the future.”
Many years later I finally understand Germain’s little speech.

Man, looks like Mr De Le Sarre's minions and guards betrayed him and serve Germain.

Well they are voiced by the same guy, Julian Casey
It’s also Flavius’s voice
also buck's voice actor from far cry 3

he is sage beloved husband of Juno !!

He understood De Molay's Assignment, like Haytham, Starrick, and even Birch.

Sevvina oh wow. Ok, I was just as surprised to find out I ran into him like I ran into the other templars at Elise’s indoctrination party
It was him indeed
God I just miss cutscenes like these ones! In AC Oddyssey and Valhalla they're all toooo robotic
I mean yeah there's a big difference in making cutscenes for 40h+ long Unity games and 150h+ long Valhalla

@@CasraidRDR does not have as much content as AC Valhalla. There is fat much more going on at real time in AC RPGs than RDR 2.
I wonder why is Roberts, the statue and John so identical in ac4 but in this he only got the eyes
@Diego Nin
A Sage is never a perfect clone of Aita, he/she just has a certain percentage of Aita's DNA. So, looks like Germain had less than Roberts.
@@Sevvina And in that case there’s no requirement for that portion of the dna to pertain to the Sage’s physical appearance.
Cool.
Is this guy's voice actor the one who narrates all those videogame trailers?
I'm really curious what wouldve happened if he knew about the observatory unless he did know but figured it wasnt worth it

He didn’t seem to care about power. All he wanted was to reform the Templars and make them operate in the shadows
is Charles Lee a sage too? whole time i played AC 3, Haytham always protected Lee but never mentioned the reason of it
No he’s not
@@ItsMrConnornah sages have to different eye colors he Charles lee have normal eyes
You forgot Versailles
It seems Liam has gone quite insane after Shay's betrayal.
why didnt he remember juno during all game?

It seems like each Sage is a little bit different. Some of them remember more than others.

@Connor Lonergan
It's not an actual resurrection. It's just when someone is born with enough of Aita's DNA, they start having memories of his life.
Maybe he did, but he considered the Templars and DeMolay's work more important then an ancient alien oneitis he never met.
Sages are the best villains within the franchise
