Date a gorl who sits on the sink to take pictures
As if Initiates wasn’t already the best thing to happen to this series, it recently introduced Assassin’s Creed’s first canonically trans character!
FIRST MATE [x]
William Miles: You were recruited into the Brotherhood after you went on a killing spree in Edinburgh?
Eric Cooper: You call it a “killing spree” and I’ll call it a “carefully executed plan of revenge against the hate group that killed the love of my life” and we’ll just agree to disagree.
William Miles: Gavin said you were thinking about suicide when he brought you in.
Eric Cooper: It’s fair to say I hit rock bottom, ken? I figured, either I die alone on the streets of Edinburgh, or I die alone, out there in the world somewhere. Didnae see much of a difference. But the Assassins changed my outlook completely.
William Miles: How so?
Eric Cooper: Well, for starters, you lot were very welcoming. Gavin’s crew was, anyways. Not one of them has ever looked at me like I was a thing. I’d never experienced that before, ken?
William Miles: Your closest friends aboard the ship are Doctor Chiu and Mister Leary.
Eric Cooper: Aye, well, Chewy helps me regulate my hormones. Even after the surgeries, it takes a wee bit of effort to remain the ruggedly handsome scoundrel that sits before you.
William Miles: And Emmett Leary?
Eric Cooper: It’s my duty to make sure the ship runs smoothly, and he’s a messy one. But we have a laugh and he helps me check on what it’s like back home. I want to plan for a future where I can go back one day, ken?
William Miles: I see.
Eric Cooper: You don’t think this spy is one of them, do you?
