ANIMUS
In previous Assassin Creed games, there was a specific NPC who was in the animus machine, which was tracking their DNA back to the past. Thus ,making an added story line in the game, so who is it ?

Oh, Please don't say , we are in the animus for we all have different DNA and would have different story lines.:ACO_Tomb::ACODC_Crest: etc.

The animus hasent needed u to be related to the assassin since ac 4 all they need is the dna off the person and anyone can then view it in the animus no matter who they are so yes u are in the animus

Unless I missed something, there is any modern story.
There is no animus.

They keep changing the story and AC games are no longer AC games .. is it historic or just fantasy?
I actually prefer fantasy, Origin and Odyssey were my favorite.
Odyssey #1
Origin #3

I dont actually miss modern story. I am not a fan when the game is changing themes like AC often does.
AC Shadows does it too. They tried to aim for realism and historicism, yet they added goofy childish cartoonish stuff into the game, breaking the realism ..
Left doesnt know what right wants and does.

And not that it matters who is in the animus. Since they already changed the story so you no longer need the ancestor to relive it, you just need DNA and anyone can relieve the story.
Thus making the modern story completely obsolete .. they changed it so much it would take HUGE amount of good writers to fix that.
And to be fair .. Ubisoft is not know for hiring people for their skills to add quality to their products.
Not sure if you noticed, but past 6 years are nightmare for ubisoft :)

Not sure if this is spoilers since it's guesswork based on the almost nothing revealed in game about this....

It seems we're back to AC:Unity and Syndicate where the player is some nameless person using Abstergo animus tech to watch someone's memories. In Shadows, it seems we're being subjected to something called "Animus Ego". Some kind of conditioning by "her", somebody who is never named but is probably Aletheia (Isu Loki's wife) from Valhalla apparently with the purpose of being a new vessel for her or something like that.

In other words, yeah, it's even less modern story than we got in Unity and Syndicate. I'd be sad about that but there's barely any main story in the historical parts of this game either. At least not one very much involving Assassins and Templars. Oh, it's there... sort of. But barely. It gets a mention here and there. You get to meet a few Templars and hear about what happened to the Assassin branch in Japan. Yay?

Everything is political.

I assumed that was a variant of the common saying, "The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" not a reference to the political spectrum.

They went back to how they did it with Black Flag and Rogue. In other words it is you that is in the Animus not someone else.
