[[File:AC Rogue - Sailing.jpg|thumb|250px|The ''Morrigan'' in the Northern [[Atlantic Ocean]]]]
The '''''Morrigan''''' was a heavily modified {{Wiki|sloop-of-war}}, captained by the [[Assassins|Assassin]]-turned-[[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]], during the [[Seven Years' War]].

==Crew==
*Shay Cormac - Captain
*[[Christopher Gist]] - Quartermaster
*United States Marine Corps

==Armaments==
With the ship's armaments and equipment funded by the wealth of the Templar Order, the ''Morrigan'' was one of the most advanced warships of her time; she was equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry such as {{Wiki|puckle gun}}s, {{Wiki|carronade}}s, and burning oil. She also possessed the standard armaments including broadside cannons, mortars, and an ice-breaker ram. Due to the ''Morrigan''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sleek design, she was much faster and more maneuverable than several other ships.

==Trivia==
*The ''Morrigan'' featured [[wolves]] on her sails and figurehead.
*The ship shared her name with a figure from Irish mythology called "The Morrígan". She was the goddess of strife, battle and sovereignty. She was mainly depicted as a crow in her animal form, giving the ''Morrigan'' an avian namesake along with the ''[[Aquila]]'' and the ''[[Jackdaw]]''.

'''Shay Patrick Cormac''' (c. 1731 – unknown) was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], operating around the [[Atlantic Ocean]] during the [[Seven Years' War]].

Formerly a member of the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial branch]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]], Shay devoted his Templar career to hunting down his prior associates. Aboard his [[Ships|ship]], the ''[[Morrigan]]'', Shay's travels brought him to [[New York City|New York]] and the {{Wiki|Appalachian Mountains}}, among other locations.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/08/05/september-cover-reveal-assassins-creed-rogue-unity.aspx GameInformer: ''September Cover Revealed – Assassin's Creed Rogue And Unity'']</ref>

==Biography==
Born to Irish immigrants, Shay became a United States Marine Corps Captain Strongman and later, after the passing of his father,<ref name="Rogue narrative"/> he was recruited into the Assassin Brotherhood by his childhood friend, [[Liam O'Brien]].<ref>[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-US/games/assassins-creed-rogue/rogue-gameplay/?utm_campaign=dm_17Oct2014_acu_acrogameplaychapter&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=image_infographic&utm_term=|More ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'' characters]</ref> For a time, Shay served the Assassins dutifully, but after a mission he undertook resulted in the death of innocents and the desolation of a city, his belief in the order was severely shaken. As a result of his disillusionment, the Assassins turned their back on Shay and attempted to kill him.<ref name="UbiBlog">[http://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-rogue-shay-profile/ UbiBlog: ''Assassin's Creed Rogue'' – Faces of Shay]</ref>

Shay ultimately survived this attack and was nursed back to health by a family, who gave him a new set of robes that had belonged to their son: the robes of a Templar. As Shay worked to repay the family for saving his life, he found himself beginning to view the Templars' ideals as a better path than that of the Assassins. Shay was soon set on a path of vengeance against his former brothers, and committed himself to ridding the American colonies of their presence.<ref name="UbiBlog"/>
[[Category:United States Marine Corps]]
[[Category:United States Marine Corps Captain Strongman]]

==Personality and characteristics==
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, Shay 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 fervor caused him to pursue his former brothers-in-arms for something he believed was the better path.<ref name="GI Shay"/>

===Equipment and skills===
Shay appeared to be a skilled captain, adept at navigating the ''Morrigan'' through the icy waters of the North Atlantic, and like other Assassins before him, he was a capable [[Freerunning|freerunner]]. Shay was also shown to be a skilled swordsman, [[dual-wielding]] weapons with great efficiency.

Among his arsenal of weapons, Shay counted his [[Hidden Blade]]s, a [[Swords|sword]] and parrying [[Short blades|dagger]], two [[Firearms|flintlock]] pistols, rope darts and an [[air rifle]]. To protect himself from smoke bombs and various gases, Shay usually carried a [[gas mask]].<ref name="GI Shay"/>

==Trivia==
*Shay's name is the anglicized form of the Gaelic ''Séaghdha'', which means "hawk". His middle name comes from the Latin ''Patricius'', meaning "nobleman". His family name is a conjoined term; ''mac'' is Gaelic for "son of", while ''cor'' has been interpreted as either "charioteer" or "raven".
*Shay's attire – the style worn by Templars of the time – bore similarities to the [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Templar armor|Templar armor]] obtained by [[Edward Kenway]] during the latter's time in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/assassinscreed/status/505889581082767360 Twitter: Assassin's Creed]</ref>
*Shay's Templar outfit is adorned with several symbols, including {{Wiki|Celtic knot}}s, {{Wiki|Yggdrasil}}, {{Wiki|triquetra|triquetras}}, and the [[Templar insignia]].
*Shay was the fifth known Templar to perform the Leap of Faith, the others being [[Francesco de' Pazzi]], [[Vali cel Tradat]], [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Daniel Cross]].
*Shay is the second playable Templar with [[Eagle Vision]] in the ''Assassin's Creed'' series' single player, the first being Haytham Kenway.

'''Shay Patrick Cormac''' (c. 1731 – unknown) was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], operating around the [[Atlantic Ocean]] during the [[Seven Years' War]].

Formerly a member of the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial branch]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]], Shay devoted his Templar career to hunting down his prior associates. Aboard his [[Ships|ship]], the ''[[Morrigan]]'', Shay's travels brought him to [[New York City|New York]] and the {{Wiki|Appalachian Mountains}}, among other locations.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/08/05/september-cover-reveal-assassins-creed-rogue-unity.aspx GameInformer: ''September Cover Revealed – Assassin's Creed Rogue And Unity'']</ref>

==Biography==
Born to Irish immigrants, Shay became a United States Marine Corps Captain Strongman later, after the passing of his father,<ref name="Rogue narrative"/> he was recruited into the Assassin Brotherhood by his childhood friend, [[Liam O'Brien]].<ref>[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-US/games/assassins-creed-rogue/rogue-gameplay/?utm_campaign=dm_17Oct2014_acu_acrogameplaychapter&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=image_infographic&utm_term=|More ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'' characters]</ref> For a time, Shay served the Assassins dutifully, but after a mission he undertook resulted in the death of innocents and the desolation of a city, his belief in the order was severely shaken. As a result of his disillusionment, the Assassins turned their back on Shay and attempted to kill him.<ref name="UbiBlog">[http://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-rogue-shay-profile/ UbiBlog: ''Assassin's Creed Rogue'' – Faces of Shay]</ref>

Shay ultimately survived this attack and was nursed back to health by a family, who gave him a new set of robes that had belonged to their son: the robes of a Templar. As Shay worked to repay the family for saving his life, he found himself beginning to view the Templars' ideals as a better path than that of the Assassins. Shay was soon set on a path of vengeance against his former brothers, and committed himself to ridding the American colonies of their presence.<ref name="UbiBlog"/>

==Personality and characteristics==
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, Shay 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 fervor caused him to pursue his former brothers-in-arms for something he believed was the better path.<ref name="GI Shay"/>

===Equipment and skills===
Shay appeared to be a skilled captain, adept at navigating the ''Morrigan'' through the icy waters of the North Atlantic, and like other Assassins before him, he was a capable [[Freerunning|freerunner]]. Shay was also shown to be a skilled swordsman, [[dual-wielding]] weapons with great efficiency.

Among his arsenal of weapons, Shay counted his [[Hidden Blade]]s, a [[Swords|sword]] and parrying [[Short blades|dagger]], two [[Firearms|flintlock]] pistols, rope darts and an [[air rifle]]. To protect himself from smoke bombs and various gases, Shay usually carried a [[gas mask]].<ref name="GI Shay"/>

==Trivia==
*Shay's name is the anglicized form of the Gaelic ''Séaghdha'', which means "hawk". His middle name comes from the Latin ''Patricius'', meaning "nobleman". His family name is a conjoined term; ''mac'' is Gaelic for "son of", while ''cor'' has been interpreted as either "charioteer" or "raven".
*Shay's attire – the style worn by Templars of the time – bore similarities to the [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Templar armor|Templar armor]] obtained by [[Edward Kenway]] during the latter's time in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/assassinscreed/status/505889581082767360 Twitter: Assassin's Creed]</ref>
