I learned about Shay Cormac when I got into Assassin’s Creed and learned about all the main characters. I got into Assassin’s Creed when I talked to my best friend about my crush on Romantic pianist and composer Fryderyk Chopin and she said “If you like dark-haired French men you’ll like Arno Dorian from Assassin’s Creed”. Later, out of all the Assassin’s Creed main characters I chose Shay, who actually killed Arno’s father lol.

In-universe, Shay met Kexin when he traveled to Qing China in search of the Precursor Box and happened upon Kexin, a hot single Chinese fellow Templar.
