Assassin’s Creed characters sorted into Hogwarts house

Let’s talk about Assassin’s Creed. It is still to this day one of the best video games I have ever played and I love it. Any ride-or-die fan of Assassin’s Creed knows that the first thing you do when you meet someone new is to analyze which Hogwarts house they belong in. It’s just a thing I love to do. I can’t help it. I’m sorry. And if you are really bored, you can also start sorting other fictional characters into — it’s as if they are part of the HP universe because, hey, we can dream. So, in celebration of this beautiful fandom crossover, here’s where the Assassins would get sorted if they took the Hogwarts Express to the greatest place on (fictional) Earth. Also, other Assassins like Adewale, Aveline, Desmond Miles, and Layla Hassan will not be featured.

Altair ibn La’Ahad — Ravenclaw

My first thought was to sort him into Gryffindor. Altaïr was raised at the Assassin fortress at Masyaf and quickly rose through the ranks of the Order to become one of the most respected and feared Assassins in the Brotherhood, second only to its leader, Al Mualim. A cold and objective man, Altaïr entirely devoted himself to whatever course he chose to pursue. He had a proud nature, and was often impetuous, demanding, arrogant, and impatient. However, after his failure at Solomon’s Temple and commencing on a mission to redeem himself, Altaïr began pondering the motivations of his targets after listening to their final words.

But as his mission progressed and he began to observe the connections between his victims, Altaïr’s mindset gradually changed, and he started drawing more heavily on the teachings of the Order. By the time he confronted Al Mualim, he had become a calmer, wiser, and more focused man, although he still occasionally let anger get the best of him. Intelligent and dedicated, Altaïr was passionate about the pursuit of knowledge. He understood that future eras would have no place for the traditions of Masyaf and changed their practices accordingly. His wisdom and leadership would prove instrumental in ensuring the continuation of the Assassin Order. Altair is a Ravenclaw. He’s highly intelligent, wise, witty, and curious, with a thirst for knowledge and a talent for academics. And he became a Master Assassin at just 25 years old. Slytherin would also be a good choice, seeing that he is very prideful.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze in AC2 and Brotherhood— Gryffindor

Ezio is probably the hardest of the Assassins to sort. He could fit into any house. He has the ambition, self-preservation, and cunning of Slytherin, the courage and passion of Gryffindor, the intelligence, curiosity, and wisdom of Ravenclaw, and the loyalty of Hufflepuff. Ezio was loyal to his family and was pained for the rest of his life after the Auditore execution. He always put protecting his mother and sister above his safety and his allegiance to the Assassins, was quick to defend his sister’s honor from Duccio, and was always ready to help his mother, even when she was helping her daughter lead the courtesans in Rome. Claudia thought Ezio a bit overbearing at times, as shown by her journal, but knew that he was trying to help regardless, and stood by her brother with the Assassins. In conclusion, I decided to sort Ezio into Gryffindor. He helps those in need without hesitation and he will fiercely protect his family and friends.

Ezio in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations— Ravenclaw

As the years passed, Ezio not only changed but so did his Hogwarts house. In Revelations, he traveled to the Middle East in search of Altair’s famous library in Masyaf. He becomes more intelligent, intuitive, creative, and curious than he was when he was younger. Ezio also becomes the first Assassin on our list too, not only being the hardest to sort but also being the first to change his House from Gryffindor to Ravenclaw. As the Ezio saga continues on, he becomes much smarter, logical, and wiser than he was as a young man. There’s a reason why he was named Mentor at a young age and it shows. His understanding and knowledge of the world were one of Ezio’s strongest weapons. What started out as a very stupid and naive kid turned into a very intelligent and wise Assassin.

Connor Kenway — Gryffindor

Since Connor is an American, he would most likely attend Ilvermorny. Connor could be chosen by Wampus and Thunderbird. He’s a warrior and an adventurer, but I think he would choose Thunderbird. The death of Connor’s mother and the burning of his village left him growing up with a strong desire for justice and concern about what impact the colonists would have on the Kanien’kehá:ka. This left him with an often introspective, humorless disposition: Kanen’tó:kon once told him to stop worrying about colonial expansion when he had commented on the beautiful sight of viewing the forest from up the trees. This bluntness continued into early adulthood when he would misinterpret Israel Putnam’s playful banter for insults, although in time he would learn to respond to such comments with a cold stare. Connor was for the most part introverted, philosophical, and spiritual. Although he appeared ruthless and cold-hearted, especially while fighting, deep down he was extremely sensitive and gentle.

He’s rash and reckless, which are some of the negative points of a Gryffindor, but he does everything with a good heart and a strong sense of right and wrong. He also has a desire to bring peace and harmony to his village and his people. Totally badass, totally Gryffindor.

Edward Kenway — Slytherin

Personally, I love Edward as a character. To me, he represents the true reason one joins the brotherhood. He gains adventure, wealth, and women, and yet still feels empty inside as he sees all he’s wrought. He finds himself alone in the end but instead of giving up he rises again and joins a cause worth fighting for because he is tired of not making a difference. Edward is not only brave and adventurous but he is also highly ambitious and cunning, as well as determined to get whatever he wants.

Despite vested interest from both the Assassins and the Templars in the veteran pirate, Edward remained steadfastly focused on his own goals: power, infamy, and proof that he was better than he was born to be. Edward was also one to take any advantage afforded him, twisting the meaning of the Assassins’ Creed to suit his own ends. This makes Slytherin the perfect Hogwarts house for him.

Arno Dorian — Ravenclaw

Arno is definitely one of my favorite Assassins. In his early life, he was witty and charismatic but also no-nonsense, which fed into his sharp sense of humor, falling back on it whenever he felt emotionally vulnerable. He was brash, rushing into action over reason, which was a flaw seen by members of the Assassin Council. This often led him into trouble along with his adoptive sister Élise. Because he was well-educated, Arno often quoted classical books, though his noble upbringing did not prevent him from cheating at card games. Like Altair, he’s street-smart, good at infiltrating and finding the best time to strike his targets and relying on strategic thinking to plan out his missions.

After the murder of his adoptive father, Arno set out on a quest to find redemption, using this goal to help others in the turbulent time of the French Revolution. As a newcomer to the Assassins, he was prone to questioning their typical approach and age-old beliefs but was aided in the field by his stealthy and ruthless nature. It was at this time that he began to mature and take his life more seriously. As he became more serious, his personality began to quickly change, and was able to focus on the task at hand; as a result of this, he wasn’t as witty or brash as he once was. Arno, seeing the turmoil in France first-hand, desired to bring justice. He displayed dismay or even frustration when Bellec told him not to intervene when extremists were harassing citizens, or when de Sade discouraged him from saving a man getting his leg amputated by la Touche. This stemmed from the fact of his failure to save his adoptive father, and the desire to amend his mistakes. Arno may be brave, like any Gryffindor, but he actually belongs in Ravenclaw. Arno is smart, creative, clever, original, and super witty. Everything he says packs a punch. He’s quick on his feet and as sharp as a tack. By the time he became a Master Assassin, Arno had become extremely wise and analytical and shows more loyalty to the Creed. He was able to understand that an idea if pushed too far, would be detrimental to the person and those around him.

Shay Patrick Cormac — Slytherin

Shay is loyal to his moral code of not killing innocents when he was a member of the Assassins, but when he made that terrible mistake, he betrayed the Brotherhood, not because he was being selfish but for the better interest of other people. He could belong in Hufflepuff but then again, he did betray the Assassins and he’s also cunning and resourceful. So maybe a Slytherin? You decide. He was also willing to kill his friends to prevent them from hurting the innocent, and he will help the ones who are in need.

Jacob Frye — Gryffindor

Jacob is reckless, stubborn, blunt, impulsive, and rebellious. He has quick wit coupled with his reckless behavior. Jacob remained oblivious to the chaos created by his actions. However, complementing his impulsive and reckless behavior, Jacob was very good at thinking on his feet, part of the reason he survived his own recklessness. Also, as a gang leader, he proved himself as a criminal strategist and organizer. He could also be persuasive with some people, such as appealing to Inspector Abberline’s professional pride in exchange for information. He’s a Gryffindor.

Evie Frye — Ravenclaw

Unlike her twin brother, who is a Gryffindor, Evie is a textbook Ravenclaw. A true strategist and a firm believer in the teachings of the Brotherhood, Evie took to the lessons of her father in a way that her brother did not, being more studious and more interested in the lore and history of the Assassins. By contrast, Evie’s brother Jacob was much quicker to spring into action, yet his plans lacked sufficient forethought as to a result. While the twins’ means were frequently at odds, their motivations were the same, and the pair were at their most effective when they worked together, as they balanced each other out. She was also very reverent of her father, often citing his teachings and using them to criticize Jacob’s actions. She planned her missions carefully and patiently, considering every angle to ensure the best chance of success. She’s well-educated and knows how to think things through. I’ve also noticed that she prefers to observe instead of participate, which is a truly Ravenclaw trait. She’s also astute, which means she looks at the situation before her and tries to turn it to her advantage, another strong trait that many Ravenclaws share.

Bayek — Hufflepuff

At first, you think he would be a Gryffindor. However, I propose an alternate sorting. Before the death of his son, Khemu, Bayek was a caring and loving father and husband, as well as a dutiful protector of his home of Siwa. He possessed a lighthearted and jovial nature, as well as a strong sense of responsibility and duty for those who needed protection. He was also very religious and would often teach his son about the gods and how they shaped daily life within the kingdom. Despite this, however, he claims to never see eye to eye with priests, often condemning their greed and their pursuit of money and power. After Khemu’s death, Bayek’s focus in life pivoted to the pursuit of those who were responsible; he vowed not to rest until everyone involved had paid with their lives. Despite his priority being the elimination of the Order of the Ancients, Bayek wouldn’t hesitate to stop to help those in need, showing that he still took his role as a Medjay and protector of the innocent seriously.

While he maintained his friendly nature around close friends and people that he trusted, he was equally cold and ruthless toward those he considered to be his enemies. Bayek showed no sympathy toward those who prey on the weak and defenseless, especially innocent children. Although he was driven to kill the members of the Order, Bayek was not incapable of sympathizing with his targets or feeling guilty for his actions. Learning that Khaliset had lost a child caused Bayek to empathize and take pity on her, leading him to pray that Khaliset would be reunited with her daughter in the afterlife. Later still, Bayek remorsefully apologized to Kawab, son of Taharqa, after he had assassinated the father and robbed the innocent child of his parentage. Yes, he is brave and strong, but putting him in Hufflepuff doesn’t negate that. It just shows that his trusting nature, loyalty, and kindness motivate his bravery and strength. He’s capable of being brutal and merciless towards an enemy, but also shows great compassion and understanding towards innocents. He didn’t come off as a bloodthirsty killer or a pushover nice guy, but as a real person with different dimensions of personality. He’s a brutal dude and he’s really fucking scary, but wait till you see him around children, then he becomes the kindly uncle.

Kassandra — Slytherin

Kassandra’s personality is somewhat malleable, but As a mercenary, Kassandra had one prime goal — money. Willing to go to extreme lengths to earn it, Kassandra had no qualms about choosing sides in a battle. She had a soft spot for children, however, particularly Phoibe, a young orphaned Athenian girl. She was able to hold a grudge, as seen by how she reacted when she was reunited with Nikolaos, her estranged stepfather. Kassandra was also known to be impatient and quick to anger at times, and would often intimidate those who angered her.
