Al and Ezio's personalities evolved - Al, while stoic, dropped the arrogant asshole attitude in favor of wisdom and logic. Ezio, while not losing his light-hearted attitude, matured and looked past personal revenge, and instead took up a greater cause of freeing the people from the Templar/Borgia grip.

Connor might have started as the same basis as Ezio, being driven by revenge for death of a family member caused by Templars, but he remained a thick-headed brute who swallowed up everything his supposed patriot allies thrown him, even if he disagreed. And his entire "moral ground" is invalidated once he learns that it wasn't Lee but Washington that burned his village and killed his mother.

Hell, he doesn't even have conflicting thoughts about that fact, even after being forced to kill Kanen'tó:kon. He's then going after Lee "just because", Templar or not, because in his own little mind, Lee's somehow still responsible. And what happens next? Washington calls on him to solve West Point, after Connor explicitly told him that he'd be dead if he did that. What does he do? "Nope, j/k, I'll look into that for you, murderer of my mother, because I have no spine to go through with what I belive."
