Bartholomew Roberts is the evil counterpart to Edward Kenway in general: Both are Welsh people who became captains by chance and by accident, wore the outfits of dead men(Howell Davis and Duncan Walpole respectively) and are pursued by the Assassins(Edward for having the Eagle vision and Roberts for being a Sage) and Templars. Hell, even their first outfits resemble each other. But Edward, for all his faults, genuinely cares about his friends and family, Roberts is a cruel, ruthless and selfish man who will stomp, degrade and betray anyone to get what he wants. Edward wants a merry life but a long one, Roberts wants a merry life but a short one. Edward values freedom, Roberts wants subjugation. Roberts is what Edward could have become if he lacked a moral compass.
@@AMaidenlessRunt I suspect that Edward is loosely based off the pirate from history known as Samuel Bellamy, as one of the more popular things about Samuel was that he freed slaves on captured ships.
His voice is actually oddly satisfying to listen to. They really chose great voice actors. Loved the “You haven’t the mettle for my brand of madness”. Beautiful.
Frist Name Last Name Edward is from Swansea where there isn’t much of a welsh accent I’m from Monmouthshire which is by the Severn bridge(bridge that connects England and Wales) and I sound English even though I’m fluent in welsh
Roberts is my favorite Assassin's Creed villain. Criminally underrated considering how he's based on a real person as well, who was just as badass as his video game incarnation.
Seems like Roberts embodied all the successful results of Edward following his life of hedonistic selfish piracy and no regrets. Robert became skilled, feared, and a formidable force in the seas, but admitted it was short term and a life doomed to be a short thrill. In a way, he embodied a much darker and successful Edward with utterly no morals or restraints whatsoever.
Love that Roberts motto "A merry life and a short one" to him is the opposite of the life he has. He constanly needs to find himself so perpetual identity crisis, and he is technically immortal.
At 23:56 Roberts said he wanted his body destroyed while in actual history, one of his crewmates destroyed his body so that the captain that defeated him couldn't claim him as a trophy.
If you read the Abstergo documents, the Templars talk about how Edward is Welsh but “can we change him to English? I don’t think the audience will root for a WELSH speaker” Meanwhile Bartholomew is over here talking like a badass
Nearly everyone did live like that in the olden days and it was a miserable lifestyle. Endless death and nonsense for a short thrill. Only an idiot wants to live such a life, which many have proven in spades unfortunately.
no shit. the difference is how long one of you three will get to enjoy life while the rest dies for having "a merry life and a short one". you can have a merry life and a long one too.
An old song about Roberts has the lyric "never touched a bottle", yes, never touched a bottle of the rough stuff (rum) but that is not to say he didn't imbibe alcohol at all. I heard he actually preferred fine European wines and liquors to rum since he couldn't stand the fiery burn of the beverage and the high alcohol content made him ill.
If that bag was just a _bit_ heavier, Kenway would've been a Templar. And if he'd not been so trusing of Roberts in the Observatory then he'd be rich beyond measure.
But Edward's greed blinded him to said betrayal, even though there were so many red flags flying above Roberts' head. And Adéwalé and the rest of the Jackdaw didn't trust Roberts at all.
23:28 - 23:42 You may never notice this, but in that statement alone, Bartholomew Roberts, being a Sage of Aita, is indirectly responsible for the death of Edward Kenway decades later. The reason for this is because when Roberts vaguely referenced the Grand Temple, Edward proceeded to research many temples that the Isu once operated while writing everything in his journal, including writing about the vault Ezio Auditore had unlocked back at Rome centuries ago. Edward had contacted Reginald Birch as a employee and a suitor for his daughter Jennifer Scott, though Edward never realized until too late that Birch was actually a Grand Master Templar who sought to find the Grand Temple to complete the Templar cause: to abolish free will of humanity. Once Edward refused to hand over the journal to Birch despite his threats, Birch ordered mercenaries to ransack the Kenway mansion, causing the death of Edward and the abduction of the research journal as well as the kidnapping and trafficking of Jennifer. Birch immediately adopted Edward's second child Haytham Kenway and proceeded to brainwash and convert him into a devoted killer with a philosophical code. The Grand Temple was founded by Haytham with the help of his partner and love interest Ziio, though it could not be opened without the Apple of Eden. The door of the Temple would remain closed shut until the arrival of Desmond Miles centuries later. Due to being a heavy adversary of Edward, Roberts was a ticking time bomb against him. Roberts indirectly had Edward to get started on the research for the Grand Temple he never succeeded in or completed in his lifetime, and that research alone is ultimately proved to be a catalyst for the downfall of the Kenway family, as the journal made Edward a target for Birch and the British Templars. The journal reminded in the Templars' hands for over a century after Edward's death, until it was stolen by the Assassin Evie Frye. Edward may had outlived Bartholomew Roberts by a few years, though he could not live in a merry life and a long one, on the contrast of Roberts' motto "a merry life and a short one."
Also Roberts was reincarnated as Desmond's son. This makes him turn into Edward's descendant. Also he had and helped his paternal family assassin allies and Abstergo finally worked together in avenging his Father and mother by killing Juno and destroying her order.
Sages are all ways found in high position like you can find them like tamplers masters or pairte leaders there also really highly intelligent I think maybe juno probably give the sagas some the isu intelligent that's why there so smart
In general this game was just a lot of fun. I always remember enjoying the sequences we had with the charming Black Bart Roberts here. Everything about him was on point from the immaculate drip to the superb voice acting. He had such a commanding presence every time. A memorable side character and antagonist. Man the dialogue for this series was pure poetry. Some of us took it for granted in many respects.
@@dhlhthriwdhskissos9606 actually Desmond's son (yes, he has one), is a sage, the one and the same, Aita, although, he's one with the good guys. Regarding the actual question, I don't think so, sages should remember their past memories, Animus don't count.
"And the door opens after almost 80,000 years..." -boom! boom! boom! Got get that-boom! boom! "Jesus Roberts have you gone mad!?" (LMFAO XD AFTER 2 Years I can say this comment is pure gold)
Last great assassin‘s creed villain. From the unexpectedly relatable goals of Robert De Sable and his cabal to delightfully cruel borgia family to the sympathetic Haytham Kenway. Maybe Caesar was interesting but really Not Counting modern characters like Otso Berg or Daniel Cross, Roberts is the last interesting historical villain of the franchise. Unity, Syndicate, origins,odyssey,Valhalla all had bland and forgettable villains.
STRONGLY disagree entirely so. Unity had a GREAT villain who was your mentor entirely so! And there's a COUPLE of last great Assassin's creed villains AFTER this one, don't be so mean on the later ones, they're not at all "bland" or "forgettable" as you make it out to be AT ALL here.
@@samalvey8168 I never said it was right though. That's what sets Roberts apart from Edward: Edward has a sense of honor, something that for Roberts is completely alien.
Kind of ironic that there was indeed a sage that was a grandmaster of the Templar Order in the 14th century and another one that would be the new grandmaster in a couple of decades after Roberts
Yes, the Sages infiltrated the Templars and the Assassins because both factions were searching First Civilisation artefacts and locations. And like you point out I think they usually favour the Templars because like them they seek dominance over humanity. The rarer case is Sage Assassins, like John Standish (head of IT at Abstergo) who was an Assassin infiltree at Abstergo, though of course his true allegiance was to the cult of the Instruments of the First Will.
Edward fought alongside Blackbeard, Mary Reid, Anne Bonnet, Jack rackem and Charles vaine but killed Black Bart. Never has their been a truer pirate than Kenway
8:57 there is actually a plaque in the town lol I've seen it when I visited it reads in welsh Casnywedd bach yn y pentref yma y ganed Barti ddu y mor-leidr enwog (1682-1722) in this village the pirate black bart was born
"For I have dipped my hands in muddied waters, and, withdrawing them, find 'tis better to be a commander than a common man" - Bartholomew Roberts, 1719.
I just want to point out something that always distracts me. When your ship is idling and creaking there’s always a squeak that sounds JUST like a clown horn.

@Luis Arevalo Unfortunately, standing still is the only way to be sure of catching all of the dialogue. Escort missions in these games are paced horribly.
In my opinion ,when two sides/country Assassin or Templar go to war they both fight for peace & freedom, both sides (soliders or whoever involved) fight for the same cause or follow their creed thinking the other party is the villian , if one side wins they think they can bring peace but in the end both lose because they're are no winners in war only death & misery so the cycle goes on .until it is sorted through a peace negation to cease fire but by then it's all too late & the damage is done ! So it's pointless to pick a side but your own and be free as you will . Just my personal opinion bro 💯🙂

The Welsh are known for storytelling, beautiful language and accent

Seems like Roberts embodied all the successful results of Edward following his life of hedonistic selfish piracy and no regrets. Robert became skilled, feared, and a formidable force in the seas, but admitted it was short term and a life doomed to be a short thrill. In a way, he embodied a much darker and successful Edward with utterly no morals or restraints whatsoever.
EmptyMan000 Well said.
he wasn't really a villain by comparison. He was a man motivated by fate and destiny he wanted to preserve the world in balance.
Robert didn't care about balance, Zyzor. His actions tell as such. Only about personal success and control over others.
He was much better villain than the governer Torres who you kill last.
Love that Roberts motto "A merry life and a short one" to him is the opposite of the life he has. He constanly needs to find himself so perpetual identity crisis, and he is technically immortal.
At 23:56 Roberts said he wanted his body destroyed while in actual history, one of his crewmates destroyed his body so that the captain that defeated him couldn't claim him as a trophy.

Ubisoft really is becoming Abstergo.
5:25 one of the best lines ever.
Literally the only reason I watched this video was to find this line.
Edward: "Folks say you're the only one who can find it."
Roberts: "Folks are correct."
*sips* Ah yes.
I caught that too lol
3:08 This is the new "GIVE ME LEE!"

@@matthewriley7826 He was quite a different kind of pirate, he liked the finer things in life as evidenced by the clothes and jewelry he wore.
Man looking back on this game, the dialogue is so amazing.
The original Micah Bell. A traitor who betrayed everyone and fought main characters.
Both call main character "boy" after punching them.
And both men they fought sought redemption.
And both Micah and Roberts were dark mirrors of the characters they faced.
They even have the similar look
The fact that he actually gave this speech in real history is so awesome

One of the best characters and stories in AC series
In Casnewydd Bach there is a plaque that says, “In this village the famous pirate Black Bart was born.”
"Black Bart was born in the town you just passed" :>
“This is bloody witchcraft”
“Nooo! This is Mr. Jack Rackham”

Is this Juno husband conscious? 23:38 holy moly yes indeed
"ROBERTS!!"
i love these memes. AC3 has “GIVE ME LEE!” and black flag has “ROBERTS!!”
That's Micah
Cool guy.
Captain Morgan and his outfit are actually similar. Only difference is the feathers and Bart's own is a bit more dustier.
I wish if I had this game );
Ah yes. The one pirate the British hated enough to send a fleet after because he paralyzed the slave trade. I fly his flag in Naval Action.
don't forget the manhunt for henry every since the grand mughal ceased trade with the east india company over an attack on his personal ship
Does anyone know what that means?? "What is peace but the confusion between two wars?
In my opinion ,when two sides/country Assassin or Templar go to war they both fight for peace & freedom, both sides (soliders or whoever involved) fight for the same cause or follow their creed thinking the other party is the villian , if one side wins they think they can bring peace but in the end both lose because they're are no winners in war only death & misery so the cycle goes on .until it is sorted through a peace negation to cease fire but by then it's all too late & the damage is done ! So it's pointless to pick a side but your own and be free as you will . Just my personal opinion bro 💯🙂
Its upto you & what your take on it there's no right or wrong answers as we all are entitled to our thoughts & opinions 🌠
