“	Ha ha ha! I hope you have enjoyed your evening so far, ladies and gentlemen. I know I have. Now, before our final act, I would like to toast all of you brave people who joined us tonight to celebrate life... and death.	„
	~ Maxwell Reveals his true side.

“	What? Snap a baby crow's neck between my thumb and forefinger? Slice to bits the ones you deem "innocent"? Keep the world in its divine manic state? For the same reason I do anything, why not?	„
	~ Roth's last words to Jacob

Maxwell Roth is one of the two secondary antagonists (along with Lucy Thorne) of the video game Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.

He is a criminal master who serves as the godfather of the Blighters, an associate of the Templar Order, and one of the seven henchmen of Crawford Starrick. He is also the arch-rival and former partner of the assassin Jacob Frye.

He was voiced by John Hopkins, who also voiced Lucas Grey in the Hitman World of Assassination trilogy.

History[]

Starrick is a criminal mastermind located in London. He is the leader of the Blighters, an organized gang serving as henchmen and brutes for the Templar Order. Roth is a chaotic anarchist that operates after the motto "Why not?", prefering to do whatever he wants without thinking of consequences. Roth is rotten to the core and, despite his theatricality, is a force to be reckoned with.

After the Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye found a gang - the Rooks - to combat the Templar influence in London, they managed to slowly wrest away influence from Roth's Blighters. After the Assassin's have conquered three burroughs from the Blighters, Roth, who has watched the situation with interest, sends a dinner invitation to Jacob Frye. Although Evie warns him not to accept the invitation, Jacob meets Roth at Roth's headquarter, a theater in the Strands, and sits down with him. Roth congratulates Jacob on his success so far, revealing that he does not hate Jacob for combating the Blighters but actually sees a bit of himself in Jacob and even admires him. He makes Jacob an offer; they will cause a little chaos in London while also hurting Crawford Starrick's empire. Jacob accepts.

Roth then leads Jacob to a nearby rooftop, which is on the same level as a railroad bridge. Roth reveals to Jacob that a large amount of nitroglycerine is stored at a nearby train station and that he wants Jacob to blow it up. Jacob accepts, heads to the station, destroys the explosives, and hijacks a train, which he drives to the drop off. There, Starrick takes over the train and thanks Jacob for his work. He claims that he needs to be going but invites Jacob back to his theatre for the next step of their plan.

Personality[]

“	You should be warned, Mr. Frye, that when Roth is angry with one, he generally brings suffering to many.	„
	~ Lewis.

Roth serves as a Sadistic Gangster whose goal is to create more chaos and destruction across London, at first he is seen as a person who is willing to help Jacob to take down the Templars, but it is eventually shown that he is only using Jacob as an advantage to commit acts of chaos that ends up Jacob getting disturbed about, which ends of having Jacob Betray Roth after they have a argument that 'He can do whatever he wants' and later destroying a factory with child workers in it.

He has also shown to be somewhat obsessed with Jacob Frye, going as far as to burning down his theatre, just for Jacob to make his move.
