==Biography==<br />
After a mission went tragically wrong, Shay abandoned the Assassins who in turn tried to kill him. Betrayed by his Order, Shay joined the Templars and decided to hunt down his former brothers.<ref>[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-GB/games/assassins-creed-rogue.aspx Ubisoft: ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'']</ref><br />
<br />
==Personality and characteristics==<br />
Shay was originally a brash young man. He did not take his role as an Assassin seriously, instead being frivolous; not because he did not believe in the cause, but because he was young and unwise. However, after a traumatic event, he became a somber, dedicated character. He rethought his whole philosophy and his allegiance to the Assassins, realizing that the Templars' goals and methods were more in line with his own beliefs. This caused him to pursue his former comrades for something he believed was the better road.<ref name="GI Shay"/><br />

*Shay's attire bore similarities to the [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Templar armor|Templar armor]] obtained by [[Edward Kenway]].<br />
