Well, they'd be a character in AC3 who joins Daniel Cross as they hunt down William Miles.

I doubt that they're going to be a notable character, but more like someone who those that play the multiplayer can recognize as being one of the recruits. Perhaps a Templar mark on them and a barcode.

I hope they're not all dudes though. That'd cut the ladies out of the mix.
