QHow do the modern day sequences play out?
AThe modern day sequences pick up where the previous installment left off, with Desmond dead, Juno establishing an invisible dictatorship, and Abstergo uploading all Animus data onto "the Cloud." The present day framing device is similar to the mulitiplayer storyline in Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Assassin's Creed III, with an Abstergo researcher using the Cloud to access Edward's memories.
QAnother ancestor? What happened to Connor?
AAlthough the producers have hinted that we have not seen the last of Connor, they wanted go in a different direction than they did with the Ezio trilogy, and instead devote a trilogy to the Kenway family rather than an individual character. Hence, the main hero is Connor's grandfather, Edward Kenway. The introduction of a new lead is also intended to symbolize fresh beginnings, as they have completed Desmond's saga and wrapped up the Apocalypse 2012 storyline.
QWho is the main villain?
ATemplar interests are represented by Woodes Rogers, Laureano Torres (the Spanish governor of Cuba), and their hulking, silent enforcer, El Tiburon. However, the true villain is a neutral figure called the Sage, an avatar for Aite, the presumed dead husband of Juno, who has survived throughout the centuries by transferring his consciousness into other bodies, a process which has driven him insane. He is attempting to find a new vessel for his wife, who still remains a disembodied presence. The various incarnations of Aite are identifiable by a distinct heterochromia iridum (each eye being a different color). In addition to manipulating Assassins and Templars as it suits his goals, he also creates a third party, the Instruments of the First Will.
