Assassin’s Creed Unity
Characters from the 2014 video game set during the French Revolution, published by Ubisoft.
Assassin’s Creed Unity is a 2014 action-adventure video game set during the French Revolution, featuring the character Arno Dorian (K; same design in each suit) as he navigates the chaos of Paris to uncover the truth behind the revolution. Arno’s adoptive sister and the love interest in the game is Élise de la Serre (Q; same design in each suit), a member of the Templar order. The jacks depict four different minor characters who are not named. There are also two different jokers. On the Ks to the 4s in each suit, the suit-signs closest to the four corners have been ‘cut’ to about two-thirds of their full size. • See the box
