Talk:Jot Soora

Is it me, or introduction of this guy and his ancestor right before release of Black Flag seems less than coincidental? Might he be the Abstergo guy we'll play as in the modern sections? --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 17:37, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

I had that idea until i found out he was a programmer at Abstergo Industries. The person we are playing in Black Flag is a research analysts working for Abstergo Entertainment.--ACsenior (talk) 18:01, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Though I'm suspicious about the "you're playing as YOU"-claim (given that it was also used for the MP pre-Revelations), I can't see any reason why these new people wouldn't be as... removed from the games as Daniel and his ancestors. Maybe Jot Soora's story is a "meanwhile, elsewhere"? Something 'we' might learn about, or hear rumours of over the course of BF? Though now I'm just thinking about Miss Marino and Mr Neumann...

Personally I think it'll be something along of "meanwhile, this guy had an ancestor we're gonna milk in Assassin's Creed: XVI". But I digress.--Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 18:09, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

It's generally considered a good idea to start laying the foundations for potential spin offs as early as possible. Sadelyrate (siniath) 18:12, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think Ubisoft actually said that we were canonically playing as ourselves in ACB and ACR multiplayer. But yes, Jot Soora is a programmer, not a research analyst. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 18:46, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

They never said we were playing as ourselves with ACB + ACR MP, but they were all first-person cutscenes, until they decided to throw Juhani into the mix, so who's to say they're not going to do the same after Black Flag? Slate Vesper (talk) 19:14, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

He could be an undercover assassin working as a programmer until his cover was blown.--ACsenior (talk) 20:04, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
