Weaknesses
Standard human weaknesses, but has survived situations that would kill peak-level humans. Was initially only motivated by greed for money, forgetting completely about his family, until he witnessed the death of his loved ones. Unable to run while using Eagle Vision to search for targets. The Mayan Armor can't repel larger projectiles from the likes of swivel guns and cannons. Was also noted by Jennifer in the Unity novel to have grown weaker and slower due to his age and having received an injury a few years prior to his death.
Ranked tied for #9 of 98 in Assassin's Creed by strength.
