The characters in the Assassin's Creed series don't tend to stick around for long. Each game typically brings a new set of protagonists, villains, and supporting characters. The only ones who normally remain are those in the present-day timeline, but none of them have been in every single entry either.

Of course, with character changes also comes the addition of new voice actors. And many different people have lent their tones to the over-decade-long series by this point. However, a number of actors have managed to remain in the series for several games. Sometimes it's because their character continues to be involved in the narrative, whereas other times, it's due to one actor playing various roles. Here is a collection of those who've made more than one appearance.
11 Elias Toufexis (Five Games)
Ubisoft is clearly a big fan of Elias Tourfexis's work as they continuously use him throughout the Assassin's Creed series. His first role came in the second game as Ezio's charismatic older brother, Federico. Then the actor went on to play a few other characters, including Leonidas and Nikolaos from Odyssey.
Outside of the AC franchise, Toufexis has lent his voice to many other games. Arguably his biggest role was as Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. He's also been in a few television and streaming shows such as The Expanse and Star Trek: Discovery.
10 Shawn Baichoo (Nine Games)
Niccolo Machiavelli is among the most interesting characters in the series. Yet, he may not have been as compelling without Shawn Baichoo's excellent performances in Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood. Although, that's hardly the actor's only contribution to Assassin's Creed. His tones have appeared in nine installments and one DLC. In that time, he's played everyone from the cowardly Duccio to historical figures like Niccolo Polo.
Ubisoft has also used the actor's talents in their other big franchises like Watch Dogs and Far Cry. Plus, the actor has multiple television shows and films on his resume.
9 Andreas Apergis (Ten Games)
Andreas Apergis is the voice behind a few of the strongest and most influential Templars ever. In Brotherhood, he played the menacing main antagonist, Cesare Borgia. Whereas in a couple of later entries, he voiced present-day villain Otso Berg.

Along with his many appearances in Assassin's Creed, Apergis has been in games like Outlast and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. His movie career has been solid too. For instance, he's been in X-Men: Days Of Future Past and White House Down.
8 Adrian Hough (Two Games)
Not every Assassin's Creed voice actor takes on multiple roles. Adrian Hough, for instance, only provided tones for Haytham Kenway during his two appearances in Assassin's Creed III and Rogue. And what a job he did, as the character remains among Assassin's Creed's most compelling villains of all time.
Like Andreas Apergis, Hough appeared in an X-Men movie. He played Mr. Grey in The Last Stand. The actor also featured in Jennifer's Body and plenty of other live-action projects.
7 Carlos Ferro (Three Games)
The Assassin's Creed games are known for being fairly historically accurate – some more than others. So, of course, they include a litany of real historical figures. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the fan favorites as he assists Ezio in a few games. When he's not around, though, his voice actor, Carlos Ferro, usually still is as he's an Assassin's Creed regular.
However, some people might be more familiar with Ferro's work in the Gears of War franchise, where he played Dominic Santiago. His voice is also in Shenmue III, the Saints Row series, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. He's no stranger to television, either.
6 Eliza Schneider (Seven Games)
Few Assassin's Creed characters have appeared in as many games as Rebecca Crane. The present-day assassin was introduced in the second entry as a member of Desmond's support team and has been involved in six installments since. Throughout it all, the tech expert has been voiced by Eliza Schneider.
The actress proved her voice acting talents several years before her entry into the Ubisoft series when she voiced multiple characters in the early years of South Park. But since then, much of her work has come in video games. Some of her most notable roles have been as Pepper Potts in Lego Marvel's Avengers and Elizabeth Swan in the Kingdom Hearts series.
5 Danny Wallace (Eight Games)
It's rare to see Rebecca Crane without Shaun Hastings by her side. The duo supports both Desmond and Layla during their important adventures. Along with historical facts, Hastings brings plenty of sarcasm to the team. His British tones are provided by Danny Wallace.

Wallace is not a full-time actor, so his non-Assassin's Creed credits are limited. But he has written several impressive books, including Yes Man, which would later get adapted into a popular movie starring Jim Carrey. He was even a writer for some of the games in which his voice featured.
4 Roger Craig Smith (Five Games)
Ezio was one of the most popular protagonists in the series. His trilogy of games from Assassin's Creed II to Revelations is still seen by many as the best in the franchise's history. During which, the young nobleman transformed into a legendary Assassin. And Roger Craig Smith was always there to provide his vocals. The actor also stuck around for a bit after Ezio left the series and voiced a couple of people in Black Flag.
Smith's voice acting experience doesn't stop there, though. The actor has lent his tones to many other characters in video games, television, and movies. A few of the most notable ones are Arkham Origins' Batman and Sonic from Wreck-It Ralph.
3 Chantel Riley (Three Games)
While female characters don't always get a lot of the spotlight in Assassin's Creed, Layla Hassan has been the main present-day protagonist in recent years. During that time, the hero has gone through a significant transformation from a bright-eyed Abstergo employee to a hardened assassin. And Chantel Riley has done an excellent job bringing the character to life throughout it all.
Elsewhere, Riley has had significant stints in several different series. Some of the most notable ones include Pearson, Wynonna Earp, and Frankie Drake Mysteries. Plus, she featured in the Jesse Owens biopic titled Race.
2 Nolan North (Seven Games)
Voice acting legend Nolan North has provided the voice for Desmond Miles since the first game in the series. The character served as the present-day protagonist for the Altair, Ezio, and Connor games. During those days, he worked desperately to overcome the Templars and humanity's impending doom. Since then, his presence has been limited to archival footage before making a reappearance recently.
Few voice actors have as many video game credits as North. Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series, David from The Last Of Us, and Oswald Cobblepot from the Arkham games are just a few of the characters he has voiced. The man also showed his live-action talents in Pretty Little Liars.
1 Kristen Bell (Three Games)
Kristen Bell is arguably the most famous person to lend their voice to an Assassin's Creed character. The character in question is Lucy Stillman, who featured prominently throughout the first three games. She assisted Desmond Miles early into his life as an assassin and was the reason the hero escaped Abstergo. Although, she did have her own hidden motives.
During her illustrious career, Bell has starred in plenty of big movies and TV shows. One of her most well-known characters was Anna from the hugely successful Frozen series. In television, she portrayed Eleanor Shellstrop in The Good Place and Veronica Mars' titular protagonist.
