North became greatly interested in the concept but it was unfortunately scrapped. Nevertheless, he is considered to be one of the series' most popular characters, and a significant part of the franchise's identity.Īccording to his voice actor Nolan North, the original plan for Desmond was that he would feature in six games, acquiring the skills of his Assassin ancestors to become 'The Ultimate Assassin', and at some point would be able to time-travel between different time periods. The decision to have Desmond killed off in Assassin's Creed III also proved controversial, as both critics and players noticed a significant decrease in the importance of the series' modern-day storyline after Desmond's death. More positive commentary focused on Nolan North's performance and Desmond's development from reluctant outsider to fully fledged member of the Assassin Brotherhood. In the process, he learns that he is destined to save humanity from an impending solar flare, and continues to explore his ancestors' memories to find the technology of a precursor race called the Isu, who were wiped out by a similar disaster.Ĭritical reception of the character has been mixed, with many reviewers and video game journalists criticizing Desmond as a dull and uninteresting protagonist, whose story arc does not match the quality of the historical plots featured in each of the games. Desmond manages to escape from the Templars before they succeed in their goal, and, after accepting his Assassin heritage, rejoins the Brotherhood to help them stop the Templars.
In doing so, the Templars hope to locate powerful artifacts called "Pieces of Eden" and enslave all of humanity. However, he is tracked down and kidnapped by the Templar Order, the Assassins' mortal enemies, who force him into a machine called the "Animus" that allows Desmond to experience the genetic memories of his ancestors. Born into the ancient Assassin Brotherhood (a fictional organization inspired by the real-life Order of Assassins) and raised to continue his family's heritage as an Assassin, Desmond eventually runs away from home to pursue a normal life elsewhere. In the franchise, Desmond is a descendant of a long line of important characters, including Adam, Aquilus, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Edward Kenway, Haytham Kenway, and Ratonhnhaké:ton / Connor. Desmond is voiced by actor Nolan North and modeled after Canadian fashion model Francisco Randez. He has also been referenced or featured in a smaller capacity in subsequent games in the series, as well as various spin-off media. Introduced as the protagonist of the modern-day sections of the first game in the series, he has maintained this role for the next four installments, with his journey and development making up the frame story that unites the first five Assassin's Creed games. Desmond Miles in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhoodĭesmond Miles is a fictional character from Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed video game franchise.
