I don't get why being a control freak is an exclusively Templar thing, Assassins are bound by strict tight obedience too, Altair mentioned this in his ironies in the Codex. Robespierre made sense as an Assassin gone extreme, someone who in the name of freedom and democracy, sends political rivals to the guillotine. The version we see in UNITY, that he's this evil puppet for the Templars to secretly co-opt the Revolution for an outside faction is extremely false and off-base of the historical record who was a genuine patriot for all his flaws. I mean even the Charles Lee and Borgia portrayals we see earlier aren't this bad. Of course an even more accurate portrayal would have been Robespierre shutting down both Assassins and Templars and sending them to the guillotine because he sees them as anti-State organizations that subvert national institutions, which to be honest would be right for any government to do.
