7 Shao Jun
How can one be so deadly and unwavering yet have a lighthearted personality? Well, that's Shao Jun, a master assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood. Shao Jun's playful humor and comical reactions are golden. She manages to find humor in dire situations while expressing exaggerated expressions. With sarcastic wit and playful teasing, Shao Jun provides a great contrast to the Assassin's Creed's somber environment.

With her wit, Shao Jun also showcases great intelligence as she manages to come out of tricky situations, whether hilariously or not.
6 Shaun Hastings
As portrayed in Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Shaun Hastings has made himself a memorable character with his tactical guidance to the Assassin's cells and humorous wit. Shaun's interactions with other characters are frequently highlighted for their comedic value. He is also highly intelligent, with a deep understanding of both history and analytical techniques.
His wit is dry, his delivery is deadpan, and his intelligence virtually amplifies it. The combination of Shaun's cynicism and sarcasm can lead to comments that are funny only if you're not the subject of them. Despite his caustic demeanor, Shaun provided much-needed comic relief during high-stakes periods in the games.
5 Yusuf Tazim
The suave and charming Ottoman merchant from the game Assassin's Creed Revelations has won the hearts of many players with his great sense of humor. With humor encompassing sarcasm and irony, Yusuf creates an entertaining environment for players. One of Yusuf's most defining characteristics is his ability to turn serious and tense situations into lighthearted ones.

4 Jacob Frye
From dark humor to more lighthearted comedy, Jacob Frye possessed it all. As a Master Assassin of the British Brotherhood alongside his sister, Evie, Jacob possessed a sense of freedom that was different from the other Assassins but dangerous in its own way. He regularly behaved recklessly and impulsively, which was different from the usual seriousness of assassins.
He mixed his reckless traits with a distinct sense of humor that fans appreciated. With infectious energy and a snarky attitude, Jacob developed his sense of humor from his unique view of the world. From sarcastic comments to wisecracks, Jacob Frye's witty humor made him an entertaining character in the franchise.
3 Ezio Auditore
Ezio was a master assassin of the Italian Brotherhood. From scaling impossible heights to hand-to-hand combat, Ezio seemed to do everything with such ease and grace. His stealthy parkour moves and humorous remarks made him one of the most beloved Assassins in the Assassin's Creed franchise.
The charismatic Ezio was often seen as a serious man who stuck to his duties. Despite that, his snarky one-liners and hilarious jests against his opponents are what his followers remember most about him. Ezio's wit and humorous pranks demonstrate that there is more to him than meets the eye, lending complexity to his character.
2 Axehead
The recently released video game, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, features a character named Axehead, who is...unique. Axehead is a man who has an axe stuck in his head, but instead of feeling death, he feels like he has an itch that won't go away. Fans will be laughing out loud at Axehead's expression of confusion as Viking shield maiden Eivor Varinsdottir tries to explain the situation to him.
In the midst of a global catastrophe, Axehead can be discovered in Grantebridgescire. The confusion and ignorance he depicts will certainly make fans smile, as one would think there is a limit to how ignorant the games' characters can be.
1 Aveline De Grandpre
As a shrewd character of French and African origin, one would not expect Aveline to have a humorous side; however, she does. Her deadpan delivery, which may range from lighthearted to scathing, is where most of her humor comes from. Aveline always hits the mark with her comebacks, leaving other characters and the player character speechless.
Aveline's sharp and unpredictable sense of humor, combined with her mischievous streak and pranks, makes her a character who keeps other players on their toes. She's a lot of fun to be around since she can find humor (sarcastic or otherwise) in even the worst of situations. If looking for a character that constitutes a great laugh, look not too far for Aveline, who is beyond capable.
