'''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 [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]], Shay devoted his Templar career to hunting down his old 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==
After a mission went tragically wrong, Shay decided to abandon the Assassins; they in turn tried to kill him, presumably in an effort to prevent their Order becoming compromised. Feeling betrayed by his Order, Shay turned to 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>

==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, 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 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 sailing the icy waters of the North Atlantic, and like other Assassins before him, he was a capable [[Freerunning|freerunner]].

Among his arsenal of weapons, Shay counted his [[Hidden Blade]], a long sword, a grenade launcher and an [[Firearms|air rifle]] – the latter pair being prototypes funded by the Templar Order.<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, defined as "son of corruption"; it is combined from the Gaelic words ''Corb'', translating to "defilement, corruption" and ''Mac'', meaning "son".
*Shay's attire 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]].
