Thanks to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s new Roguelite mode being on the rise, the franchise has fresh content while fans wait for the announcement of a new installment. With so many likable and distinct protagonists since the series’ first release in 2007, It's plain to see why the fanbase is always left itching for all the awesome individuals to come with each game.
From fan-favorite assassins like the charming and moralistic Ezio to natural-born leaders like Eivor, players often find pieces of themselves in each of Assassin Creed’s formidable characters. Through assigning each character to their respective Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which takes into account a combination of their most present traits, players are able to easily tell which assassin they truly correspond with best.
Aveline de Grandpre - ENTP
ENTP types are generally very innovative and quick, two traits that Aveline fits well, portraying them clearly when finding escapes from danger while Conner followed her lead. Even though she has every right to be overconfident, she remains humble.
Aveline engulfs herself in ideas often, sometimes to the point of stress, since she strives to accomplish several things as fast as possible. Despite her deceiving nature, she isn’t afraid to show her sympathetic side and easily gains the support of others around her because of this, quite like ENTP.
Eivor Varinsdottir - ENTJ
Regarded as one of Assassin Creed’s most powerful assassins, Eivor is an incredible warrior who plans and leads raids on enemy villages. Her unique way of organizing battle procedures helps earn her the ENTJ type.
Furthermore, she translates her woes into pure fighting power, obsessed with revenge against Kjotve for killing her parents. She is often outspoken and confident but definitely is far from just talk, especially since she is deemed the reincarnation of Odin. Upholding her leadership as any ENTJ would, she fights honorably with those she commands.
Shay Cormac - ISTJ
Loyalty is a common trait among ISTJs and despite Shay’s betrayal of the Brotherhood, he became insistently devoted to the Templars. He is powerful and knows just how good of an assassin he is.
Like his MBTI type, Shay was orderly in his advances against the Brotherhood, taking many of them out one by one without mercy after they failed to listen to his reasoning. He is prone to outbursts of emotion, which is displayed in his several anger-filled rants in Assassin’s Creed: Rogue.
Altair Ibn La Ahad - INTJ
Altair is known for having the best character development of any assassin in the game, going from immature to devoted and earning himself a legendary reputation. Like any INTJ, he solves problems creatively with determination.
INTJ people like Altair are very sensible and imaginative people who tend to closely analyze everything they come across. His independence and leadership abilities continually grow with him, giving his cool exterior an added charm. Altair’s great strength and complex ideations further prove his INTJ nature.
Kassandra - ESTP
Few Assassin’s Creed characters are as outgoing and humorous as Kassandra in Odyssey. When paired with the game's captivating plot and her poised demeanor, it's no wonder how she falls so perfectly under the ESTP type.
As one of the best female characters in Assassin’s Creed, the Greek misthios has earned the love of countless fans with ESTP traits like her strong sense of justice and friendliness. She often enjoyed spending time alongside friends, which is a staple of ESTPs, and sought to finally reunite her family.
Connor Kenway - ISFJ
Conor is someone who bases his actions on his anger and from the start is considerably introverted, assigning him the ISFJ type. His fearlessly firm desire for the freedom of himself as well as the people are insurmountably important to him.
He is shown to be very caring and observant of the feelings of those he respects, which is in tune with his ISFJ nature. The American Revolution fuels the unrest and dedication to independence within him, causing him to become reckless. It isn’t until his heart-to-heart with Achilles that he begins to shift his thinking, reflecting the emotional traits of ISFJs.
Edward Kenway - ESFP

Edward is full of life and is pretty independent for a team player, corresponding most with the ESFP type, specifically once he is recruited by the assassins for his immense fighting skills. As a pirate, there was little he loved more than being spontaneous and nurturing his explorative side.
One of the few assassins who wasn’t focused on fighting the Templars, Edward went against the grain, not letting convention steer him. He clung to his quick thinking and charisma in exchange for lack of planning, like ESFPs, until he learned about his daughter. From then on, he sacrificed his life of piracy to raise her and committed himself to fatherhood.
Jacob Frye - ENFP
Unlike his twin sister, Jacob thrived off risk-taking and living by his own set of rules, which they often got into quarrels about. He put himself into dangerous situations for the thrill of it and to test his impressive skills, all of these quirks putting him in the ENFP type.
Ever the adventurer, Jacob yielded for no one and detested conformity, even when he was mimicking Evie’s smart approach. It's not to say that he isn't sharp-minded, though he put his wants over the sake of many plans. Like an ENFP, he enjoyed creatively problem-solving and pushing things forward with lots of energy, staying true to himself all the while.
Evie Frye - ESTJ
Syndicate may not have been the best Assassin’s Creed game of the series, but playing as the confident Evie made up for it considerably. Ever the intelligent assassin, Evie was prepared and incredibly sneaky, making her a solid pick over her brother.
Evie most reflects the many traits of an ESTJ, being incredibly reliable with a great work ethic to match, she certainly is a strong assassin in both mind and body. In contrast to her brother, she always thoroughly planned missions and took them seriously, highlighting her responsibility while further proving her ESTJ type.
Arno Dorian - ESFJ
ESFJs are known widely for their sensitivity and sympathetic nature, Arno fitting the script perfectly. As a hopeless romantic after the heart of Elise, he turned to the life of an assassin once she was gone for good. His loyalty up until then greatly mirrors ESFJ qualities.
The understanding trait of ESFJs shines through Arno’s disinterest in battling the Templars and instead wishing to befriend them, a rarity among Brotherhood assassins. Furthermore, his strong belief system and stubbornness are balanced out by genuineness, which is common among the MBTI type.
Bayek - INFJ
Regarded as the advocate of all the MBTI types, INFJ people are fearless protectors, just like Bayek. After the loss of his child, he made a pact with himself to never let the same fate befall another innocent person by becoming an assassin, a way to move on from the death.
With undeniable integrity and leadership skills, Bayek wears his INFJ traits like a badge of honor, upholding his beliefs admirably. He utilizes his creative and thorough combat talents to achieve noble goals. Purposefully facing the most dangerous of enemies in order to spare others and keep them safe, he is unarguably the INFJ of Assassin’s Creed.
Ezio Auditore - INFP
Regarded as the Assassin’s Creed character with the best fighting ability, Ezio strives to make the world a better place that lives up to his own exemplary values, custom of the wildly idealistic INFPs.
Ezio effortlessly makes connections and gains the trust of others, as seen by his expansion of the Assassin Order, fortifying the evidence of him being an INFP. He is loyal to those closest to him and quite the charmer, though he still enjoys time by himself to reflect, sure to maintain his focus on the bigger picture.
Desmond Miles - ISFP
Reserved though flexible, Desmond has much in common with the ISFP type. He is as keen as he is eager to prove himself and learn more about the world around him, showcased when he deciphered Lucy’s treasury.
However, Desmond loses a fair bit of his intelligence to his impulsive side, which leaves players questioning his morals from time to time. He immediately agreed to join the fight against the Templars, going with the flow despite the danger that came along with it and proved his selfless ISFP trait when sacrificing his life to save the world.
