Status

What's this status thing? It can hardly be applied to a series like Assassin's Creed since the game occurs in different time periods. So for me, it's incoherent to write "Altaïr: deceased", "Ezio: Alive" and "Desmond: Alive" because Ezio should be dead in 2012. And there is no use of such information if there is only 5-6 characters alive in 2012...--PhantomT1412 18:26, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. And removed. -- D. Cello 18:32, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Alias(es)

Thank you for agreeing and removing "Status" but can't we keep "alias"? I think this one is pretty useful (if not absolutely needed). Eg: Pope Alexander VI aka Rodrigo Borgia or "The Spaniard", or Desmond Miles aka "Subject Seventeen".--PhantomT1412 18:42, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

It is kind of useful, but too few characters have it. Lucy doesn't, 90% of the assassination targets doesn't, and all the secondary doesn't too. That info can be put on the page intro, like "Desmond Miles, also know by Abstergo as Subject Seventeen, is... " -- D. Cello 18:47, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Ok, and for the pope, I think I'll move it to Rodrigo Borgia since his more known under this name in the game, and he is only pope at the end.--PhantomT1412 19:04, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
